ABSTRACT:
A buoyant aquatic recliner device (10) comprised of a plurality of body supporting sections (11,12,13) flexibly interconnected and adapted to support a person reclined thereon. One body supporting section (11) supports the torso of the reclined person, a second section (12) supports the thighs and a third section (13) supports the lower legs. Each body supporting section comprises a pair of linear side members (21-26) of substantially equal length interconnected by pliant spacer members (30) which maintain the paired side members substantially parallel and in symmetrical relation about the longitudinal axis of the device. At least one flotation member (60) is affixed to each side member of the body supporting sections and is adjustably positioning thereon along the length of the side member to adjust the relative angles of inclination of adjoining body supporting sections to achieve a preferred body position. The number of flotation devices (60) for each body supporting section (11,12,13) may be selectively increased or decreased to control the level of submergence of each section.
