Claim Text:
1. A buoyant pool lounge chair frame for supporting a floatation device while the buoyant pool chair frame is floating in water, comprising: a pod frame including a rigid base portion having a right side, a left side, a front support portion, and a rear support portion; right and left arm support members respectively positioned at the right and left sides of the pod frame; the front support portion having a substantially inverted parabolic surface; the pod frame being a substantially half-truncated pyramid having an acute scalene triangle profile from the rear support portion to the front support portion; the pod frame including a window intersecting the right side, the left side, the front and the rear to provide a vertical opening therethrough; front and rear cross-bars traversing the span between the right side and left side of the pod frame; a centra including a rigid back support positioned between the right side and left side of the pod frame and extending from the pod frame proximate the rear support portion; the pod frame sized to accept a floatation device having a first side, a second side, a first edge and a second edge, the floatation device being defined by a continuous form of pliable foam material; and the substantially inverted parabolic surface and the centra being spaced and configured to be selectively engageable with the floatation device such that the first edge and the second edge form a friction fit with the left and right arm support members, the second side at least partially engages the inverted parabolic surface and the centra in a load-bearing relationship such that a portion of the flotation device is in the water.
