## Abstract

A multi-function support apparatus having sections that are adapted to support the neck and head of a user while also preserving the user's hair style. The apparatus includes peak sections which are adapted to provide inclinational support for a user's head and sections that provide lumbar support for a user. The apparatus also includes curvature sections within which a user may drape and protect their hair.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A multi-function support apparatus comprising:
a middle section, adapted to support the neck and head of a user, wherein said middle section extends through the length of said multi-function support apparatus;
two peak sections, each of said peak sections having a base which is contiguous with said middle section and wherein each base of said two peak sections is located at a distance offset from each respective end of said middle section, said two peak sections being adapted to provide inclinational support for a user's head; and
a bottom section, contiguous with said middle section and said bases of said peak sections, via said middle section, said bottom section extending from one end of said middle section to the other end of said middle section, said bottom section adapted to provide a base and stable support for said middle section and said two peak sections.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The multi-function support apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said middle section is dimensioned to allow a user to place said user's hair over a rear section of said middle section in order to preserve said user's hairstyle.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The multi-function support apparatus according to claim 1, wherein each peak section comprises of an inner concave side downwardly extending from the top of each peak and wherein each peak section comprises of an outer concave side downwardly extending from the top of each peak toward an immediately adjacent end of said middle section.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The multi-function support apparatus according to claim 3, wherein said concave sides of said peak sections are circular.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The multi-function support apparatus of claim 1 wherein the region of said middle section between said peak sections is flat.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The multi-function support apparatus according to claim 1, wherein a line drawn from one end of said middle section to the top of one of an immediately adjacent peak makes an angle of 75 degrees with the horizontal.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The multi-function support apparatus according to claim 5, wherein a line drawn from one end of said flat region of said middle section to the top of an immediately adjacent peak makes an angle of 78 degrees with the horizontal.

### Claim 8

A multi-function support apparatus comprising:
a middle section, said middle section having two concave sections and a flat section, said flat section being between said concave sections, said concave sections being concave in an opposite manner relative between them;
two shoulder sections, each shoulder section being contiguous with a respective concave section of said middle section, each of said shoulder sections having a flat top which extends away from said middle section; and
a bottom section below and contiguous with said middle section, wherein each end of said bottom section is contiguous with each respective shoulder section via a curvature formed between each respective end of said bottom section and an end of each respective shoulder section.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The multi-function support apparatus according to claim 8, wherein a line drawn between the end points of said curvature makes an angle of 79 degrees with the horizontal.

### Claim 10 (depends on 8)

The multi-function support apparatus according to claim 8, wherein a line drawn from the beginning edge of a shoulder section and the start point of the middle section's flat portion makes an angle of 78 degrees with the horizontal.

### Claim 11 (depends on 8)

The multi-function support apparatus according to claim 8, wherein said middle section is dimensioned to allow a user to place said user's hair over a rear section of said middle section in order to preserve said user's hairstyle.
