Flotation device

Abstract

The back rest and arm rests of the chair each include a separate elongated buoyant flotation member having a hole extending longitudinally therethrough. A flexible connector such as a rope extends through the holes to interconnect the back rest and arm rests with one another. The opposite ends of the rope extend outwardly of the forward end of the arm rests, and manually operable adjuster devices are attached to the ends for varying the length of rope between the adjuster devices to vary the distance of the back rest relative to the arm rests. A seat is formed of flexible material and is suspended between the arm rests by sleeves formed at opposite sides of the seat which receive the flotation members of the arm rests. The sleeves surrounding each of the flotation members have end portions which enclose end portions of the associated flotation members to prevent the flotation members from escaping from the sleeves.
