Abstract

Luminous Envy Tanning Float is a device to promote even and accelerated tanning adapted for use in water preferably comprises the following components: a pair of angled, reflective, tan; a cushioned core-supported portion; a pillow; at least one cup holder; and at least one warning label to prevent sun-burning. A user-sunbather is comfortably supported via the inflatable flotation device for even and accelerated tanning during at least one sunbathing period on a body of water and/or land.

Claims (21)

1. An inflatable flotation device to promote even and accelerated tanning adapted for use in water comprising:

a pair of angled reflective, tan wings to direct the sunrays onto a user-sunbather from various angles comprising polyethylene terephthalate (boPET) to increase exposure to sunlight during said at least one sunbathing period;

a cushioned core-supported portion comprises polyethylene terephthalate (boPET) to increase exposure to sunlight during the sunbathing period;

a pillow;

at least one cup holder; and

at least one warning label;

wherein said pair of pair of angled, reflective, tan wings are permanently attached to said cushioned core-supported portion providing supports for arms of said user-sunbather to be positioned for tanning;

wherein said cushioned core-supported portion comprises a cushioning surface for a core-support of said user-sunbather;

wherein said pillow is removeably-attachable to said cushioned core-supported portion and is inflatable to a user-preferred volume;

wherein said user-sunbather is comfortably supported via said inflatable flotation device for even and accelerated tanning during at least one sunbathing period on a body of said water;

wherein said cup holder is on a far right side of said inflatable flotation device approximately 28-inches from a bottom position of said pillow;

wherein said at least one warning label prevents at least one sunburn;

wherein said inflatable flotation device comprises clear plastic;

wherein said inflatable flotation device measures approximately three-feet in width, six-feet wide, and eight-inches thick when in an in-use condition wherein said inflatable flotation device is inflated with air;

wherein said three-foot width provides said user-sunbather room to find a position that exposes a body of said user-sunbather to said sun without tipping over into said water;

wherein said inflatable flotation device reflects sunrays onto said user-sunbather;

wherein said pillow provides a neck angling at a 45-degree angle to a final thickness of approximately eight-inches at the top of the head;

wherein said pillow is contoured to fit a face of said user-sunbather when in a face-down position while lying on said inflatable flotation device;

wherein said pair of angled, reflective, tan wings are angled at approximately a 45-degree angle relative to said cushioned core-supported portion; and

wherein said inflatable flotation device comprises side air chambers that angle out 45 degrees from a main body of said inflatable flotation device, and wherein said inflatable flotation device may comprise a user-preferred color.

2. The inflatable flotation device to promote even and accelerated tanning adapted for use in water of claim 1 further comprising a kit including: said inflatable flotation device; at least one removably-coupleable pillow; a matching cup; and a set of user instructions.
