Abstract
The present invention is a lounge chair that may be used by a person to comfortably lie on her back or stomach while supporting her arms and/or hands. In one embodiment, the lounge chair comprises a median member having a first end portion and a second end portion. The lounge chair further comprises a lower member and an upper member rotatably engaged with the first and second end portions of the median member, respectively. The lounge chair further comprises an arm support member rotatably engaged with the upper member. The arm support member comprises first and second arm portions disposed at opposite ends of the upper member. In operation, a person may rotate the upper member and arm support member from a first or inclined position wherein the upper member is substantially vertical to the median member and the arm support member is parallel to the median member thereby allowing a person to sit upright while comfortably supporting her arms and/or hands on the first and second arm portions to a second or flat position wherein both the upper member and the arm support member are parallel with the median member thereby allowing a person to lie on her stomach while comfortably supporting her arms and/or hands on the first and second arm portions.
