Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a neck brace, and more particularly to a neck brace that is easy to wear. Background Technology

[0002] Clinically, many patients with cervical spine injuries need to wear cervical braces to provide head support and stabilization, facilitating the treatment, stabilization, and rehabilitation of neck injuries. Most existing cervical braces are structurally similar to a medical cervical brace with protective padding disclosed in patent CN205814487U, featuring a front and rear cervical brace secured with Velcro. This method of securing the brace to the patient alone makes it difficult to put on quickly and is time-consuming. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a neck brace that is convenient for patients to wear themselves.

[0004] The technical solution to achieve the purpose of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] A convenient neck brace includes a front neck brace and a rear neck brace. Connecting pieces are provided on both sides of the rear neck brace. The front neck brace has a connecting box, which includes a housing fixed to the front neck brace. The housing has two connecting piece holes, each containing a connecting piece. A knob is located inside the housing. The front neck brace has a spring groove containing a spring. The knob has a knob end and a connecting end, located outside the housing. The connecting end passes through the connecting piece holes in the housing and extends into the spring groove. The connecting end contacts the spring and has a limiting block on its outer circumference. The front neck brace has a baffle fixedly connected to it. The limiting block is pressed against the baffle by the spring force. Both the side of the limiting block facing the baffle and the side of the baffle facing the limiting block have end face teeth that mesh with each other.

[0006] The part of the knob rod that inserts into the connecting plate hole is provided with a transmission tooth. The connecting plate is provided with an oblong hole. One of the two connecting plates has a passive tooth on the upper part of the oblong hole, and the other connecting plate has a passive tooth on the lower part of the oblong hole. The passive teeth of both connecting plates mesh with the transmission tooth.

[0007] With the above structure, before wearing the neck brace, the front and rear pieces can be connected as one piece via connecting plates. Then, it is slipped onto the patient's neck. First, push the front piece to the correct position, then press down and rotate the knob, causing the two connecting plates to move. The front and rear pieces gradually tighten until the neck brace fits snugly against the neck. Then, release the knob, and the limiting block engages with the baffle under the spring force, locking the knob and preventing it from rotating. This tightens and fixes the front and rear pieces. To remove the neck brace, press the knob and rotate it in the opposite direction to loosen the front and rear pieces, then remove the neck brace. This invention reduces the difficulty of wearing the neck brace, allowing patients to quickly put on and take off the neck brace alone, making it convenient, quick, and time-saving.

[0008] Preferably, in order to facilitate accurate positioning of the rear piece of the neck brace, the front piece of the neck brace is provided with a protrusion, the protrusion is provided with a transition hole, and the connecting piece passes through the transition hole and the protrusion and is inserted into the connecting box.

[0009] Preferably, in order to ensure support for the patient's jaw, a jaw support piece is fixed to the front piece of the neck brace.

[0010] Preferably, in order to facilitate the installation of the spring and the knob rod, a connecting plate is provided in the spring groove. The connecting plate is threadedly connected to the front plate of the neck brace. One end of the spring contacts the knob rod, and the other end contacts the connecting plate.

[0011] Preferably, in order to facilitate the rotation of the knob lever, a knob is fixedly fitted onto the knob end. Attached Figure Description

[0012] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0013] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model.

[0014] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram showing the connection of the neck brace front piece, connecting box, and knob rod of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0015] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the convenient neck brace of this utility model includes a front neck brace 1 and a rear neck brace 2. Connecting pieces 3 are provided on both sides of the rear neck brace. The front neck brace has a connecting box, which includes a housing 4 fixed to the front neck brace. The housing has two connecting piece holes 5, each containing a connecting piece inserted into one hole. A knob rod 6 is provided inside the housing. The front neck brace has a spring groove 7, containing a spring 8. The knob rod has a knob end and a connecting end, respectively. The knob end extends out of the housing and is fitted with a knob 9. The connecting end passes through the connecting piece hole in the housing and extends into the spring groove, contacting the spring and extending outwards. A limiting block 10 is provided on the circumferential surface. A baffle 11 is provided on the front piece of the neck support and is fixedly connected to it. The limiting block is pressed against the baffle under the elastic force of the spring. The side of the limiting block facing the baffle and the side of the baffle facing the limiting block are both provided with end face teeth 12 and they mesh with each other. The part of the knob rod inserted into the hole of the connecting piece is provided with a transmission tooth 13. The connecting piece is provided with a waist-shaped hole 14. The upper part of the waist-shaped hole of one of the two connecting pieces is provided with a passive tooth 15, and the lower part of the waist-shaped hole of the other connecting piece is provided with a passive tooth 15. The passive teeth of both connecting pieces mesh with the transmission teeth. A chin support piece 17 is fixed on the front piece of the neck support.

[0016] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, a protrusion 16 is provided on the front piece of the neck brace. The protrusion is provided with a transition hole. The connecting piece passes through the transition hole and the protrusion and is inserted into the connecting box.

[0017] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, a connecting plate 18 is provided in the spring groove. The connecting plate is threadedly connected to the front piece of the neck brace. One end of the spring contacts the knob rod, and the other end contacts the connecting plate.

[0018] In some embodiments, the connecting piece is made of plastic or metal.

[0019] With the above structure, before wearing the neck brace, the front and rear pieces can be connected as one piece via connecting plates. Then, it is slipped onto the patient's neck. First, push the front piece to the correct position, then press down and rotate the knob, causing the two connecting plates to move. The front and rear pieces gradually tighten until the neck brace fits snugly against the neck. Then, release the knob, and the limiting block engages with the baffle under the spring force, locking the knob and preventing it from rotating. This tightens and fixes the front and rear pieces. To remove the neck brace, press the knob and rotate it in the opposite direction to loosen the front and rear pieces, then remove the neck brace. This invention reduces the difficulty of wearing the neck brace, allowing patients to quickly put on and take off the neck brace alone, making it convenient, quick, and time-saving.

[0020] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
