ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a portable outdoor activity apparatus and more particularly pertains to a new portable multi-activity outdoor recreation apparatus for providing a person with a comfortable seat with a backrest, a multi purpose table, an inclement weather attachment, a bed, and a multiple use transporting device, and can be used while hunting, camping, fishing, observing wildlife, and painting or sketching outdoor scenery.
2. Description of the Prior Art
The use of a portable multi-activity outdoor recreation apparatus is known in the prior art. More specifically, a portable outdoor activity apparatus heretofore devised and utilized are known to consist basically of familiar, expected and obvious structural configurations, notwithstanding the myriad of designs encompassed by the crowded prior art which have been developed for the fulfillment of countless objectives and requirements.
Known prior art includes: U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,242,030; 5,328,192; 5,282,520; 5,535,683; 5,492,255; and 3,976,163.
While these devices fulfill their respective, particular objectives and requirements, the aforementioned patents do not disclose a new portable multi-activity outdoors recreation apparatus. The inventive device includes a frame having a first and second elongate base members; a first and second elongate wheel support members which are pivotally attached to the first and second elongate base members, respectfully, and further having a handle member securely attached to the first and second elongate base members, and also including a pair of cross members securely attached to the first and second elongate base members, and further including a seat member securely attached to the cross members, a backrest member, a backrest cross member securely attached to the backside of the backrest member, backrest support members securely attached to the cross members and having first curved end portions, backrest support tubular members securely attached to the backside of the backrest member and being mountable to and removable from the first curved end portions of the backrest support members and the backrest member being removably attached to the frame, a table member, a pair of bracket members securely attached to the under side of the table member and pivotally attached to the first and second elongate wheel support members, a table cross brace member securely attached to the under side of the table member, an adjustable table support member having a tubular member and shaft slidably and lockingly extended in the tubular member, bracket members being securely attached to the under side of the table member with the adjustable table support member being pivotally attached to the bracket members, an axle also mounted to the first and second elongate wheel support members, a pair of wheels mounted to the axle, a leg member pivotally attached to the first and second elongate base members, a leg member brace securely attached to the first and second elongate base members, first end portions of the first and second elongate wheel support members which extend outwardly of a bottom side of the frame when the portable multi-activity outdoor recreation apparatus is being used in the seat position, brace members being pivotally attached to the first and second elongate base members and being removably attached with fasteners and knob type handles to the first and second elongate wheel support members, a tubular umbrella support member securely attached to the backside of the backrest, an umbrella support insert member being removably placed into the tubular umbrella support member, a threaded rod being removably attached to the umbrella support insert member, adjustable strap members with buckles, and expandable straps.
In these respects, the portable recreation apparatus according to the present invention substantially departs from the conventional concepts and designs of the prior art, and in so doing provides an apparatus primarily developed for the purpose of providing hunters, campers, fishermen, wildlife observers, and artists, with a portable recreation apparatus designed for multiple uses when involved in outdoor activities.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of devices now present in the prior art, the present invention provides a new portable multi-activity outdoor recreation apparatus construction wherein the same can be utilized for providing hunters, campers, fishermen, wildlife observers, and artists with a portable recreation apparatus designed for multiple uses when involved in outdoor activities.
The general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new portable multi-activity outdoor recreation apparatus which has many of the advantages of the portable outdoor activity device mentioned heretofore and many novel features that result in a new portable multi-activity outdoor recreation apparatus which is not anticipated, rendered obvious, suggested, or even implied by any of the prior art portable outdoor activity device, either alone or in any combination thereof.
To attain this, the present invention generally comprises a frame having a first and second elongate base members; a first and second elongate wheel support members which are pivotally attached to the first and second elongate base members, respectfully, and further having a handle member securely attached to the first and second elongate base members, and also including a pair of cross members securely attached to the first and second elongate base members, and further including a seat member securely attached to the cross members, a backrest member, a backrest cross member securely attached to the backside of the backrest member, backrest support members securely attached to the cross members and having first curved end portions, backrest support tubular members securely attached to the backside of the backrest member which is mountable to and removable from the first curved end portions of the backrest support members and the backrest member being removably attached to the frame, a table member, a pair of bracket members securely attached to the under side of the table member and pivotally attached to the first and second elongate wheel support members, a table cross brace member securely attached to the under side of the table member, an adjustable table support member having a tubular member and shaft slidably and lockingly extended in the tubular member, bracket members securely attached to the under side of the table member with the adjustable table support member being pivotally attached to the bracket members, an axle also mounted to the first and second elongate wheel support members, a pair of wheels mounted to the axle, a leg member pivotally attached to the first and second elongate base members, a leg member brace securely attached to the first and second elongate base members, first end portions of the first and second elongate wheel support members which extend outwardly of a bottom side of the frame when the portable multi-activity outdoor recreation apparatus is being used in a seatable position, brace members being pivotally attached to the first and second elongate base members and being removably attached with fasteners and knob type handles to the first and second elongate wheel support members, a tubular umbrella support member securely attached to the backside of the backrest, an umbrella support insert member being removably placed into the tubular umbrella support member, a threaded rod being removably attached to the umbrella support insert member, adjustable strap members with buckles, and expandable straps.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the invention in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated, there are additional features of the invention that will b
