ABSTRACT:
A floating platform for supporting articles in a swimming pool or other body of water. The platform has a toroidal outer chamber filled with air, a toroidal middle chamber filled with water, and a toroidal inner chamber filled with air. An article supporting member that may take the form of one or more upstanding hollow columns projects upwardly from the inner chamber. The article supporting member in one embodiment is in fluid communication with the inner chamber but in a second embodiment it is not. In either embodiment, a decorative article such as an inflated flamingo, dolphin or other work of art may be in fluid communication with the support member or members. The weight of the water in the middle chamber provides a stable foundation to maintain the supported article in an upright disposition, and the pressure of the air in the inner and outer chambers maintains the water in the middle chamber in an evenly distributed disposition.
