Frame support apparatus
An apparatus can include a body having a plurality of walls dividing the body into a plurality of sections along a height of the body. A first wall and an opposing second wall can define a section of the plurality of sections. A middle portion of the first wall can be disposed closer to the second wall in a first direction than an end portion of the first wall. The first wall and the second wall can move towards each other in the first direction in response to a force applied on the body in a second direction.
