Abstract
A gardening stool that allows for tilting and pivoting is provided. The gardening stool has an elongated base connected to a seat by a post. The elongated base is convex and is tapered towards the front for pivoting. The base may include a flattened region located toward the rear of the post for stability. The base may further include compartments for holding tools.
Claims31
A stool, comprising:
- (a) a seat;
- (b) a base having a front end and a back end, said base being elongated from the front end to the back end and defining a longitudinal axis;
- (c) a post connecting said seat to said base;
- (d) a stabilization structure positioned rearward of the post;
- said base including a first contour located forward of said post, said first contour having a first convex curvature in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis for allowing side to side pivoting;
- said base including a second contour extending a direction along the longitudinal axis for allowing front to back pivoting;
- said stabilization region configured to stabilize said stool by limiting side to side pivoting when said stool is upright without interfering with forward pivoting, and without limiting side to side pivoting when said stool is pivoted forward.
4 more elements
A stool comprising:
- a) base having a front and a back corresponding to a front and back of the stool, respectively, wherein the base is elongated from the back to the front alone a longitudinal axis, wherein the base has a convex bottom surface that defines an upwards extending nose at the front of the base;
- b) a seat;
- and
- c) a post connecting the base and the seat;
- d) wherein the base tapers from a first width located rearward of the post to a second, narrower width located forward of the post.
2 more elements
A stool comprising:
- (a) a base having a width and a length, the length extending from a front end to a back end, the length being greater than the width;
- (b) a seat;
- (c) a post connected to the base and the seat;
- (d) a first contour that extends across the width of the base, the first contour including convex portions on left and right sides of the post;
- and
- e) a second contour that extends along the length of the base, the second contour including front and rear convex portions located forward and rearward of the post.
