Multi-purpose neck support assembly

Abstract

A portable headrest assembly having a foldable, substantially planar, U-shaped platform assembly with an open proximal end. The platform assembly is adapted to support a padded assembly and a user's head. A foldable, portable stand assembly with a central support assembly is pivotally coupled to at least three laterally extendable leg assemblies adapted to support the inventive concept in a freestanding position. A telescoping rod assembly is disposed through the central support assembly of the portable stand assembly, the top end portion coupled to a longitudinally rotatable joint assembly. At least one first tightener and loosener assembly circumscribes the telescoping rod assembly, and at least one second tightener and loosener assembly is disposed through the longitudinally rotatable joint assembly, the joint and loosener assemblies designed to change and maintain the optimal height and angle of the foldable, substantially planar, U-shaped platform assembly.

Problems solved by technology

One of these solutions attempts to utilize a neck pillow, but this solution fails to meet the needs of the market because neck pillows support your neck only when you are leaning back.

Another solution attempts to rest your head on your hands, but this solution is similarly unable to meet the needs of the market because resting your head on your hands becomes tiring.

Still another solution seeks to utilize pillows, but this solution also fails to meet market needs because pillows only support one side of your head.

The solutions may also lack other utilities to offset the burden of carrying or storing the solution.

A common challenge is to find a way to rest your neck in a space that was not optimized for resting and so may lack supports or the option to lean back or rest toward the side.
