摘要：
A neck support apparatus (10) allows freedom of movement of the head (13) of the user (11), other than limiting forward flexion by resisting forward tilting of the head beyond a predetermined point. The neck support apparatus (10) comprises a base portion (21) for positioning on the torso (18) of the user (11) and a support portion (23) extending from the base portion and having a rest (25) upon which the mandible (17)) of the user (11) can rest when the head (13) of the user is at the forwardmost tilted position. The rest (25) comprises two rest members (27) configured to receive the mandible (17), typically adjacent the underside of the posterior mandibles (17a) of the user (11). The support portion (23) further comprises two struts (31) which are mounted on the base portion (21) and on which the rest members (27) are mounted. The two struts (31) are adapted to be disposed angularly with respect to each other, whereby in use the two struts can extend upwardly and inwardly towards the mandible (17) of the user (11), thereby supporting and positioning the two rest members (27) in a manner which is less intrusive and more aesthetically pleasing than current neck supporting devices.Linvention concerne un appareil de support pour la nuque (10) qui permet une liberté de mouvement de la tête (13) de lutilisateur (11), hormis la limitation de la flexion vers lavant par la résistance à linclinaison vers lavant de la tête au-delà dun point préétabli.

Lélément de support (25) comporte deux éléments de support (27) conçus pour recevoir la mâchoire inférieure (17), généralement adjacents a
