Personal flotation apparatus

Abstract

A personal flotation apparatus having a main body member, a primary support member, a head support member, and a foot support member, each made of flexible, buoyant, flotation material. The primary support member, head support member, and foot support member are each connected to the main body member, such that they are substantially perpendicular to the main body member and can provide stability, buoyancy and support in various floating and swimming positions. Some embodiments include multiple main body members to increase stability, buoyancy, support and comfort, and allow for heavier users.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus, said apparatus comprising:
 a main body member;   a head support member connected substantially perpendicular to said main body member at an upper end of said main body member;   a foot support member connected substantially perpendicular to said main body member at a lower end of said main body member and substantially parallel to said head support member;   a primary support member connected substantially perpendicular to said main body member somewhere along the length of said main body member between said head support member and said foot support member and substantially parallel to said head support member; and   wherein said apparatus is a personal flotation device.
