a) a sling member comprised of an elongated band of compliant but substantially non-extensible construction extending between opposed extremities and bounded in part by a flat upper surface and a lower surface having a finger-accommodating pocket associated with each extremity, whereby when said extremities are upwardly directed, the person's fingers can enter said pockets, causing said upper surface to embrace the person's cheeks and upwardly support the chin, and
b) an elbow accommodating member comprised of an elongated central region of adjustable length terminating in opposed anchoring extremities bounded by upper and lower surfaces, said lower surfaces having non-slip gripping properties, and said upper surfaces having cushioned elbow receiving means and an upraised U-shaped embracing lip,
c) said sling member and elbow accommodating member being confinable without compression into a package which occupies less than 500 cubic centimeters of space.
