ABSTRACT:
A boat seat which also functions as an insulated container and a framework for mounting same in a boat are the subject of the present invention. The boat seat/insulated container combination comprises a generally cylindrical insulated sidewall with a top on which a person will be seated and a bottom which fits into a mounting receptacle. A portion of the sidewall is extended above the top to form a back for the seat and contains an opening near its top edge to provide a handle for carrying the seat. The mounting arrangement comprises a central set of parallel tubular members onto which is pivotally mounted a base plate and receptacle for receiving the seat. Telescopically attached to each end of the central mounting unit is a set of L-shaped parallel tubular members, the two sets being adjustable with each other to fit the width of the bottom of the boat. Telescopically attached to each L-shaped member is a set of U-shaped parallel tubular members, the fitting of which is adjustable to fit the height of the sidewall of the boat. An alternative embodiment provides a mounting arrangement adapted to fit a box type boat seat. The alternative mounting comprises a central set of parallel tubular members similar to those of the preferred embodiment. Telescopically attached to each end of the central members is a set of L-shaped parallel tubular members. The horizontal legs of the L-shaped members are adjusted with the central members to fit the width of the box type boat seat. The vertical legs of the L-shaped members extend downwardly and fit tightly against the sides of the boat seat by means of bolt and pressure plate assemblies. Thus, a pivotal boat seat/insulated container is provided which can be adapted to fit varying sizes and styles of boats, either without seats or with box type seats.
