Abstract
Generally, a face hammock, and a method of making and using a face hammock to support the head of an individual. Embodiments can include a first support member disposed in opposed spaced apart relation to a second support member and one or more flexible members connected by the respective flexible member ends to the first support member and the second support member can be positioned to supportingly engage the head of an individual.
Claims5
An apparatus, comprising:
- a first support member and a second support member, each having a support member length disposed between a support member first end and a support member second end, said first support member disposed in opposed spaced apart relation to said second support member;
- flexible members connected to said first support member and connected to said second support member,
- said opposed spaced apart relation of said first support member and second support member and connection of flexible member first ends and flexible member second ends along said support member length of said first support member and said second support member configured to supportingly engage an individual's head,
- said flexible members, comprise a first flexible member connected to said first support member and said second support member and a second flexible member connected to said first support member and said second support member, a portion of said first flexible member and a portion of said second flexible member overlap to support an upper portion of said individual's head and to support a lower portion of said individual's head, said overlapping portions of said first flexible member and said second flexible member capable of being drawn apart to afford an open area through which said individual breathes.
