ABSTRACT:
A body support and the method of making the same. The body support, whose function is to support a users legs, feet or head, includes three main parts connected together on a common pivot axis and which are swingable between a folded storage position, in which the three parts lie substantially in a common plane and an operative position in which two of the members form an inverted "V" shaped support for the third member which serves as the foot or head rest. The two members are "U" shaped with one of the members nesting within the other when the body support is in its folded position. The third member which may be cushioned is supported jointly by the pivot means and by a portion thereof resting on the legs of one of the "U" shaped members. The third member is inclined at an angle to serve as the foot or head support. The three parts can be made from a single piece of material. Means are provided to limit extension of the "U" shaped parts. A separate cushion means adapted to rest jointly on the floor and one of the "U" shaped parts serves to support the back of a user when the body support is used as a headrest.
