摘要：
A neck brace (10) comprises an impact surface (39,55) adjacent the neck of a wearerof the brace (10) that it is spaced from a helmet (42) and that is configured to limitmovement of the helmet by contacting an underside (46) of the helmet, a bearingsurface (15,35) bearing on the wearer's body； and a resilient structure(12) between the impact surface (39,55) and the bearing surface (15,35) for transferringimpact loads from the helmet (42) on the impact surface, to the wearer'sbody via the bearing surface. The brace (10) further includes restraining means(58) that is attachable to the rear of the structure (12) with a releasable clipmechanism (66) and to the helmet (42) to inhibit movement of the helmet. The restrainingmeans is in the form of a tether (58) that is attached to the helmet (42) at two spacedlocations and that passes with clearance through an aperture in an anchor element(62,64), to allow the helmet (42) to be moved freely while the tether (58) slidesthrough the aperture.
