A flexible support and carrier assembly for supporting an associated accessory is shown as having a plurality of sequentially arranged body-like segments, the segments are arranged with respect to each other for articulated motion as between adjacent segments, the plurality of sequentially arranged body-like segments define an elongated articulated structure having first and second ends, a spring operatively carried by the articulated structure resiliently resists while permitting articulated motion as between adjacent segments to occur in a first direction of articulation, the spring also resiliently urges the adjacent segments to experience articulated motion in a second direction of articulation opposite to the first direction.
