Embodiment Construction

[0041] Referring to the drawings, there is shown a chin support 10 comprising a frame 12 and a chin support member 14 . The frame 12 is configured to engage the upper body of a user and includes a chest engaging member 16 and a neck support 18 .

[0042] The chest engaging member 16 is arranged to engage the upper portion of the user's chest below the chin. A neck support 18 extends from the chest engaging member 16 and is arranged to engage around the back of the user's neck to retain the frame 12 in use.

[0043] The breast engaging member 16 includes a curved first elongated member 20 that is generally U-shaped. The chest engaging member 16 is curved such that when the opposing first and second ends 22, 23 are on laterally opposite sides of the user's neck, the intermediate portion 24 extends across the upper portion of the user's chest such that the intermediate portion 24 is placed approximately Above the sternum.

[0044] The first elongated member 20 includes flat el...

Abstract

A jaw support (10) comprising a chest engaging member (15) provided to rest on an upper area of the chest of a user below the jaw, a jaw support member (14) connected to the chest engaging member (16)and a neck support (18) extending around a rear side of the neck of the user. The chest engaging member (16) and the jaw support member (14) comprise U-shaped first and second elongate members (20, 30) respectively. The jaw support member (14) is pivotable between a first position, in which it is adjacent the chest engaging portion (16), and a second position, in which it moves away from the chest engaging member (16) to support the chin. The first and second elongate members (20, 30) each comprise flat elongate members having corresponding shapes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for supporting the lower jaw. Background technique [0002] When undergoing dental treatment, it is often necessary to keep the jaw open for extended periods of time. During these periods, supporting the jaw in the open position can significantly strain the muscles surrounding the jaw, leading to the potential for injury. [0003] Devices have been proposed that can be used to support the jaw under the chin to reduce muscle strain. However, such devices are relatively bulky and difficult to use. The present invention relates to a device for supporting the lower jaw that is compact, comfortable, easy to use and relatively cost effective. Contents of the invention [0004] According to an aspect of the present invention there is provided a chin support comprising: a chest engaging member arranged to be placed on an upper region of the chest of a user under the chin, the chest engaging member comprising a U-shaped fi...
