A pair of forward legs are attached to a forward end of the mounting section and a pair of rear legs are attached to a rear end of the mounting section. Each leg has a distal end to which is attached a roller ass
The safety support device of this invention includes a frame having a mounting section. A pair of forward legs are attached to a forward end of the mounting section and a pair of rear legs are attached to a rear end of the mounting section. Each leg has a distal end to which is attached a roller assembly that includes a roller member mounted so that with the weight of the user bearing down on the assembly the roller member is prevented from moving. In a second embodiment used to assist injured or elderly person stand erect, the legs are long and arm support members engage the arm pits of the user when the user is being supported by the device. A third embodiment employs a manually release mechanism associated with each under arm support member that enables the user while standing erect to change the position of the under arm support members

The device of claim 1, wherein the application member includes end portions extending substantially perpendicular to the base portion at substantially opposite ends of the base portion, and the wall is connected over at least part of its height to the end portions. 15. The device of claim 1, wherein the wall is substantially planar. 16. The device of claim 1, wherein the application member includes end portions extending substantially perpendicular to the base portion, the base portion interconnecting the end portions. 17. The device of claim 16, wherein the base portion is disposed off-center relative to the end portions. 18. The device of claim 16, wherein the base portion is centrally disposed relative to the end portions. 19. The device of claim 16, wherein the application member includes a plurality of walls interconnecting the end portions. 20. The device of claim 19, wherein each of said walls has a free edge defining notches configured to hold product to be applied. 21. The device of claim 20, wherein the free edges substantially define an envelope surface interconnecting the end portions of the application member. 22. The device of claim 1, wherein the application member includes projecting elements disposed on the base portion adjacent the wall. 23. The device of claim 22, wherein the projecting elements are chosen from teeth and spikes. 24. The device of claim 22, where the application member includes two rows of projecting elements, the rows being disposed on opposite sides of the wall to one another. 25. The device of claim 1, wherein the application member includes a plurality of walls, each of the walls having at least one free edge defining notches. 26. The device of claim 25, wherein the walls are disposed in a flared configuration when the application member is observed in cross-section along a longitudinal axis of the application member. 27. The device of claim 26, wherein the walls are disposed so as to permit hair to come into contact simultaneously with two adjacent free edges during application of the product. 28. The device of claim 1, wherein the free edge of the wall is provided with teeth for applying the substance to eyelashes, the notches being formed by adjacent teeth. 29. The device of claim 28, wherein the free edge is provided with two rows of teeth, the teeth in each row being axially offset from each other along a longitudinal axis of the base portion. 30. The device of claim 28, wherein adjacent teeth are curved alternatively outward to opposite sides with respect to the longitudinal axis of the application member. 31. The device of claim 1, wherein the wa ll has axial ends that are free. 32. The device of claim 1, wherein the wall is connected to the base portion via bridges of material with gaps between the bridges capable of holding the product. 33. The device of claim 1, wherein the wand has a substantially circular cross-section. 34. The device of claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the wand has a cross-sectional area that is smaller than a cross-sectional area of the application member. 35. The device of claim 1, wherein the wand is configured to be disposed in a reservoir without engaging with the reservoir to close the reservoir. 36.
