Patent ID: 7997543

Claim:
A versatile support apparatus, comprising in combination: an assembly including a plurality of substantially rigid natural fibrous longitudinal members; at least one substantially flexible member coupled transversally to a portion of each of said plurality of longitudinal members and adapted to bind each of said plurality of longitudinal members to an adjacent one of said plurality of longitudinal members, wherein each longitudinal member of said plurality of longitudinal members is repositionable about a longitudinal axis of said longitudinal member allowing said apparatus to be rolled; a portion of a first end of a first longitudinal side of said assembly selectively couple-able to a portion of an opposite second end of an opposite second longitudinal side of said assembly, wherein when said portion of said first end is coupled to said portion of said opposite second end, said support apparatus is configured to support an object within an inner portion of said assembly; and a second versatile support apparatus comprising a second assembly including a second plurality of substantially rigid natural fibrous longitudinal members, at least one substantially flexible member coupled transversally to a portion of each of said second plurality of longitudinal members, each longitudinal member of said second plurality of longitudinal members repositionable about a longitudinal axis of said longitudinal member; and a portion of a third end of a third longitudinal side of said second assembly selectively couple-able to a portion of an opposite fourth end of an opposite fourth longitudinal side of said second assembly; wherein: said portion of said first end is couple-able to said portion of said fourth end; and said portion of said third end is couple-able to said portion of said second end, whereby a end-to-end extended support apparatus is formed.
