Benefits of technology

This patent describes a device that can be worn around the user's neck to protect their head, neck, and spine from impact injuries. The device includes a peanut-shaped shell made of synthetic muscle that fits around the back and sides of the user's neck and is attached to a front adjustable strap. The device absorbs and dampens impact to mimic the natural movement of the user's neck. The technical effect of this invention is to reduce the risk of head and neck impact injuries in various activities that can involve impact or contact with other objects.

Problems solved by technology

These devices are not support devices and are not engineered to replicate and enhance muscle and bone kinematic skeleton characteristics.
These conventional devices do not have compression resistance and do restrict movement.

Embodiment Construction

[0016]The following detailed description is of the best currently contemplated modes of carrying out exemplary embodiments of the invention. The description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating the general principles of the invention, since the scope of the invention is best defined by the appended claims.

[0017]Broadly, an embodiment of the present invention provides a survivability and safety unit (also referred to as a safety unit) to be worn in high contact activities that will minimize injuries and help prevent quadriplegic injuries and concussions. The survivability, sustainability safety unit and or embodiments of the present invention provides synthetic muscle and skeleton frame, strength and resistance enhancement. The safety unit of the present invention can replicate neck muscle and bone function as a kinematic device. It can withstand high velocity impacts, it dampens the impact load and extends the shock impact or str...

Abstract

A survivability and safety unit (also referred to as a safety unit) can be worn in high contact activities to minimize injuries and help prevent quadriplegic injuries and concussions. The safety unit of the present invention provides synthetic muscle and skeleton frame, strength and resistance enhancement. The safety unit of the present invention can replicate muscle and bone function as a kinematic device. It can withstand high velocity impacts, it dampens the impact load and extends the shock absorption distribution.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of priority of U.S. provisional application No. 61 / 612,036, filed Mar. 16, 2012, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to survivability, sustainability and safety devices and more particularly, to survivability, sustainability and safety unit worn in high contact activities that can minimize injuries and increase survivability and sustainability.[0003]Conventional devices are typically a pad wrapped around the muscle to protect it from objects. These devices are not support devices and are not engineered to replicate and enhance muscle and bone kinematic skeleton characteristics. These conventional devices do not have compression resistance and do restrict movement.[0004]As can be seen, there is a need for an improved safety unit that can be worn in high contact, impact and endurance activities to reduce the risk of injur...
