Claim Text:
1. A collapsible, hanging chair for supporting a user in a seated and partially submerged position within an aquatic body, comprising: a substantially rectangular main frame of continuous tubular construction; a tubular hanging frame pivotally connected to the main frame near a proximal end of the main frame, the hanging frame including a pair of tubular short legs extending substantially perpendicularly from opposite ends of a tubular long leg, with free ends of the short legs cut at the same angle as a maximum upward angle of rotation of the hanging frame with respect to the main frame; a pair of gusset assemblies pivotally connecting the hanging frame to the main frame, each gusset assembly including a pair of gusset plates that connect the short legs of the hanging frame to the main frame; a seat frame of continuous tubular construction pivotally connected to the main frame near a distal end of the main frame; at least one seat frame rotation-limiting element for limiting a maximum downward angle of rotation of the seat frame with respect to the main frame; and a seat associated with the seat frame for receiving the user in the seated position; wherein, the maximum upward angle of rotation of the hanging frame with respect to the main frame is limited by contact between free ends of the tubular short legs of the hanging frame and the main frame; and wherein the chair is supportable in the partially submerged position within the aquatic body by contact between the hanging frame and a substantially horizontally-oriented upper bounding surface surrounding the aquatic body and by contact between a rear of the seat frame and a substantially vertically-oriented wall containing the aquatic body.
