However, the child is still required to be transported in an infant car seat.
Additionally, when an infant falls asleep in the infant car seat, the infant's head is free to move, which may adversely affect the cervical alignment.
A similar problem exists when adult passengers in a car or an airpl

Embodiment Construction

[0022]Turning now to the drawings in more detail, numeral 10 designates the cervical support harness assembly of the present invention. The assembly 10 comprises an elastic headband 12 that is formed from a soft, resilient, stretchable material. Preferably, the headband 12 is formed from a moisture absorbent material, such as used for sweatbands. The headband 12 stretches to accommodate to various size circumference of a user's head.

[0023]To facilitate correct position of the headband 12 on the user's head and prevent the headband 12 from sliding downwardly, a cross strap 14 is secured to diametrically opposite locations 16 and 18 of the headband 12, that is from the front portion to the back portion of the headband 12. The cross strap 14 is sized to extend over the frontal and parietal bone regions of the person's head, front to back, such that the headband 12 does not descend below the user's forehead (see, FIGS. 4, 5 and 8). The cross band 14 is formed from a non-stretchable soft...

Abstract

A cervical support harness for a head of a user seated in a seat in a generally upright position has a flexible elastic headband and a cross strap that is configured to extend across the top of the user's head, from front to back. A crescent or U-shaped neck pillow is secured to a back portion of the headband by an attachment strap that extends downwardly from the headband, when the headband is positioned on the user's head. An elongated flexible securing band attached, at one of its ends, to the front portion of the headband is adapted for wrapping around the back of the seat and for securing at the front of the headband, thus preventing undesirable jolting movement of the user's head. A front visor shields the eyes and upper part of the user's head.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to cervical supports designed to assist a person in maintaining alignment of the upper spinal column by giving a harness support to the head of an infant strapped in a car seat or a sleeping person seated in a substantially upright position, such as in car or airplane seat.[0002]Infants require head and body support when they are seated in either a reclining or substantially upright position. Because infants do not have fully developed neck muscles, such support is necessary to prevent their heads from rolling to one side.[0003]Infant car safety seats are conventionally made of molded plastic shell equipped with a releasable safety harness that is anchored to the shell at least by three points. Such car safety seats typically include a three- or five-point safety harness that has shoulder straps and a leg strap that buckles with the shoulder straps. A soft, padded cover is typically also provided for supporting an infant in the...
