ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for anchoring a flotation device is comprised of a plurality of adjustable straps attached at respective first ends thereof to a lower major surface of a flotation device which is in contact with the water. A suction device is attached at a second end of each strap opposite from the first end thereof, for securing the corresponding strap to a stationary object, such as the side of a swimming pool. By attaching selected ones of the straps to a stationary object and adjusting the respective lengths of the selected straps, the flotation device can be anchored in a substantially fixed position and desired orientation with respect to the statonary object. Thus, a sunbather can position the flotation device as desired with respect to the location of the sun to take full advantage thereof. The anchoring apparatus according to the present invention is suitable for attachment to flotation devices of various types and materials.
