- This tube 11 may further comprise a separation element 24 inserted into the tube to divide the internal volume thereof into two separate compartments 25, 26 ( Figure 8).
- This separating element 24 is for example a plastic tongue of width substantially equal to the inside diameter of the tube 11. This separating element 24 advantageously prevents a possible crossing of the ends of the sections 1-4 forming the feet and the arms of the tube. suspension of the support.
- the bearing surface 6 connects the sections forming the suspension arms 1, 2 so as to partially cover the lateral faces 14, 15 of the foldable support and its upper part 16 forming an extensible continuous surface.
- the bearing surface 6 is a piece of fabric but the bearing surface 6 could also be made of an extensible plastic material.
- the support of the invention can thus take two positions as a headrest, which offers two possible heights to the user.
- a first position is obtained with the support placed in a vertical position (Fig. 1).
- the head of the user is then supported by the upper part 16 while the nape is advantageously supported by a lateral portion 14, 15 of the bearing surface.
- a second holding position is obtained by setting the support on the ground.
- the neck of the user then bears against the upper part 16 of the support while its head bears on a lateral face 14, 15 of the bearing surface 6.
- the piece of fabric may be of cotton, polyester, acrylic, polypropylene or a woven structure having on its outer surface at least one layer of neoprene to have an outer surface soft to the touch.
- the piece of fabric can still be made in a printable fabric for printing or screen printing on its surface a message or an advertising motif, or a message of information.
- the support of the invention can therefore serve as an advertising medium.
- this piece of fabric comprises at least one protective layer disposed at least partially on the outer surface of this part, after printing an advertising message or information to protect the printed face or faces of external aggression.
- This bearing surface 6 is further removable. It can be removable for washing or repair or change.

- the link 28 can slide along these sections to a given height where it abuts against them.
- This height relative to the ground is determined by the dimensions of the interior space 31 defined by the link 28 and the spacing of the arms of V.
- the strap portion 27 is then introduced by the operator into the interior of the link 28 and is locked in position by the locking nut 29. For this purpose, the operator forces the locking nut 29 into the The strap portion 27 is thus assembled to the foot section 3, 4 at a distance from the end of the foot section, intended to be in contact with the ground.
- This fixing element 28, 29 thus makes it possible to avoid the wear of the strap portion 27 noted with the devices of the prior art. Indeed, in these devices, the strap being connected directly to the ends of the feet, it is in repeated contact with a rough ground.
- the manufacture of the support is, in general, significantly simplified.
- the positioning of the seam of the strap at the end of the feet was crucial to maintain the symmetry of the support and prevent premature wear of this seam due to the forces exerted on it.
- the rest support of the invention can advantageously be implemented as a backrest, the angle between the bust and the legs then being adjustable by inclination of the support, or as chair or headrest or lateral support of the body, thoracic , legs or feet.
