ABSTRACT:
A float tube device with adjustable sling seat, the float tube device having a buoyant annular tubular member; a flexible fabric cover encasing the tubular member; a laterally extending band of flexible material, extending across a central opening of the tubular member to define a sling seat; and adjustable belt members for selectively increasing or decreasing the sling of the seat. The adjustable belts can be adjusted to provide sufficient tension on the seat to provide a stiff seat or may be loosened to provide a desired amount of sling. A second pair of adjustable belt members allows for selected forward or rearward tilt or pitch of the seat to maximize comfort. The seat member is affixed directly to the cover for safety and a crotch strap may be provided as an additional safety feature and to assist in providing selective tilt under some conditions.
