## Background
FIELD OF INVENTION
This invention relates generally to adult entertainment devices. More particularly this invention relates to a chair that appears to an ordinary chair but can be converted into a multi-functional apparatus for facilitating adult activities of a sexual nature.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Chairs designed to facilitate sexual activity have been previously disclosed (see for example Craft U.S. Pat. No. 5,538,011 and Fuhrman U.S. Pat. No. 5,875,779) but their obtrusiveness render them unfit for use as ordinary furniture. Further, given their conspicuous nature, most people would be embarrassed to have such devices in their homes or offices. Sinohui Jr. U.S. Pat. No. 6,338,344 attempted to address these concerns by constructing a sexual intimacy chair that also appears to be an ordinary chair. However, its versatility to function as an adult entertainment device is severely compromised at the expense of maintaining an ordinary appearance. For instance, in contrast to the Craft chair, the Sinohui Jr. chair cannot receive accessories such as stirrups.
In respect of sex chairs having attachable accessories, prior art does not teach a mechanism to store their accessories in a conveniently available and secured manner. For instance, prior art does not disclose sex chairs having lockable compartments. Another draw back is that these accessories may easily be misplaced.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A chair having a base with a seating surface and a back support attached to the base for supporting a person seated on the seating surface. At least one attachment point is located on the chair for attaching an accessory for use in securing a person to the chair. The chair has a concealment means moveable between a concealment position for covering at least one attachment point and an uncovered position wherein the attachment point is accessible.
The concealment means may be shaped to maintain the contour of the chair in the concealment position.
The concealment means may be a member selected from the group consisting of a pillow, a chair cover, a plug and a cushion.
The attachment point may be a member selected from the group consisting of a slot, a bore, a bar, a peg hole, a socket and an eyelet.
The accessory may be a member selected from the group consisting of a swing, a body board table, a kneeler, a shackle, a strapping means, a headrest, a cross-board, and at least one footpad;
The accessory may be a swing having a first pole and a second pole, each attachable to a respective attachment point located on the chair in a substantially vertical position and sufficiently spaced apart to accommodate a person positioned between the poles. The poles may have at least one attachment point for attaching additional accessories. A seat may be attachable to each pole to suspend a person above the base.
The swing may also have a horizontal bar attachable to the first pole and the second pole for providing greater stability to the swing when the swing is attached to the chair and engaged by a person.
The accessory may be a body board table that is collapsible.
The body board table may be partially collapsible capable of forming generally a planar configuration, a reclined configuration and a declined configuration. The body board table may consist of a body board having a slot thereon to accommodate the face of a person and a plurality of sockets for receiving a plurality of support members. The support members may be attachable to respective attachment points on the chair to suspend the body board over the base and may be telescopic such that the height of the body board table is adjustable.
The chair may have arm rests for supporting the arms of a person seated on the seating surface.
The chair may have an electrical outlet located on the chair generally away from plain view and a conducting means connected thereto for providing electricity to the electrical outlet.
The chair may have a vibrating means for providing vibration.
The vibrating means may be located within the chair away from plain view. Further, the vibrating means may be electrically powered and have a switch connected thereto and located on the chair for activating and deactivating the vibrating means.
