[0002] The cervical spine is the hub connecting the head and torso, and it's a frequently active part of the body. Maintaining an unhealthy posture or experiencing prolonged overload can strain the neck muscles, leading to complications such as cervical osteoporosis, bone hyperplasia, cervical curvature deformation, cervical facet dislocation, and cervical vascular curvature and hardening, which can reduce blood flow to the brain. Cervical discomfort can lead to sub-health conditions and disrupt both daily life and work.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent application number 201822270677.3, which discloses a neck brace comprising a chin support and a surrounding member. The chin support and surrounding member are connected to form a ring. The chin support is harder than the surrounding member. The surrounding member includes a first long side and a second long side, both of which are wavy, and the first long side is adapted to conform to the chin. The chin support is made of silicone, and the surrounding member comprises two layers, with a sponge layer disposed between the two layers. The surrounding member is made of polypropylene.

[0005] The main supporting force of the common structure neck brace comes from the chin support, and the chin support made of silicone material has poor resilience. In addition, silicone and polypropylene will cause the air permeability of the entire neck brace to be poor, resulting in poor wearing comfort. Utility Model Content

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. Throughout the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0027] The following is combined with Figure 1-2 This application is described in further detail.

[0028] The embodiment of the present application discloses a neck collar 200. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The neck support 200 includes a high-elasticity composite support body 1, an elastic breathable fabric layer 2, a first connecting part 3 and a second connecting part 4. The elastic breathable fabric layer 2 is a hollow bag structure. The elastic breathable fabric layer 2 is covered on the outer surface of the high-elasticity composite support body 1 and forms an equal-width strip structure 201. The first connecting part 3 and the second connecting part 4 are respectively connected to the two ends of the equal-width strip structure 201. After the first connecting part 3 and the second connecting part 4 are connected and locked, the equal-width strip structure 201 can be surrounded by an annular structure. The annular structure supports the head 360 degrees upward in the wearing state. The high-elasticity composite support body 1 is made of the following materials bonded together: sponge, memory cotton, foam and latex. The high-elasticity composite support body 1 is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation and ventilation holes 202 in the thickness direction. The cross section of the high-elasticity composite support body 1 is rectangular. See for details. Figure 2 In the figure, the four corners of the rectangle are all provided with arc corners, wherein the heat dissipation holes 202 are arranged in a row, and each row has a plurality of heat dissipation holes 202 arranged at intervals, and each row of heat dissipation holes 202 is arranged along the length direction of the equal-width strip structure 201.

[0029] In other embodiments, the heat dissipation holes 202 may be arranged in two rows, three rows, or more rows depending on the diameter of the heat dissipation holes 202 .

[0030] Specifically, the high-elasticity composite support body 1 includes: an upper latex strip 11, a lower latex strip 12, a memory foam board 13 and two sponge boards 14. The memory foam board 13 is sandwiched between the two sponge boards 14 and the three form a sandwich panel structure. The heat dissipation and ventilation holes 202 are provided on the sandwich panel structure. The upper latex strip 11 is bonded to the top of the sandwich panel structure, and the lower latex strip 12 is bonded to the bottom of the sandwich panel structure.

[0031] The elastic breathable fabric layer 2 is a blended fabric of spandex and cotton. The blended fabric has good elasticity and breathability, and is both comfortable and elastic. It is more comfortable to contact with the skin, has a stronger wrapping force on the high-elastic composite support body 1, and is not easy to wrinkle.

[0032] In order to make the neck brace 200 more comfortable to wear and more in line with the structure of the human neck, an arc-shaped recessed portion 203 is provided on the equal-width elongated structure 201 and an ergonomic curved structure is formed on the annular structure to support the wearer's chin.

[0033] According to the outer diameter of the neck of an average person, the length of the equal-width long strip structure 201 can be designed to be a variety of different signals such as large, medium and small. The length of the equal-width long strip structure 201 is between 40-65 cm, and as the length of the equal-width long strip structure 201 increases, the width of the equal-width long strip structure 201 can also be adaptively increased to form a good supporting force.

[0034] In particular, the thickness of the equal-width long strip structure 201 is between 0.8-1.5 cm (preferably, the above-mentioned thickness is 1.2 cm), and the width of the equal-width long strip structure 201 is between 6.0-12 cm (preferably, the above-mentioned width is 8 cm). Based on the above-mentioned size design and combined with the high elasticity of the high-elasticity composite support body 1, the annular structure of the neck support 200 has good supporting force and is not easily deformed excessively due to downward pressure on the head. It can support the mandible, temporal bone and occipital bone, and can achieve 360-degree comprehensive upward support for the head around the cervical spine. It has the obvious advantage of no "dead angle" in support, so as to achieve the purpose of traction treatment and protection of the cervical spine for patients with cervical spondylosis.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first connecting portion 3 and the second connecting portion 4 are interconnected Velcro strips. In other embodiments, the Velcro strips can be replaced by adhesive strips, push-buttons, zippers, or magnetic buckles.

[0036] The beneficial technical effects of the neck collar 200 of the embodiment of the present application are roughly as follows:

[0037] The high-elastic composite support body 1 is formed by bonding a variety of materials together. Compared with silicone, its resilience is significantly improved, and the sponge, memory cotton, foam and latex all have good breathability. Combined with the heat dissipation and ventilation holes 202 opened thereon, the breathability of the product is further improved. Based on the skin-friendly and breathable properties of the elastic and breathable fabric layer 2, the wearing comfort of the neck support 200 is significantly improved.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
