Self adjusting, soft neck support collar

Claim 1

A self adjusting, soft, neck support collar, comprising: (a) an upper, tubular-shaped element providing an outer, woven cloth covering material and an interior which contains a soft fill material, the tubular-shaped element defining tapered ends which are adapted for closure under a user's chin by closure elements mounted at each end, to thereby form a ring which fits upwardly around a user's neck; and, (b) a lower, tubular-shaped element providing an outer, woven cloth covering material, and shaped to form an interior which contains a soft fill material, the lower tubular-shaped element being adapted for closure at each end by closure elements to form a ring which fits around the lower portion of the user's neck, the upper tubular element resting on and being joined to the lower tubular element along a portion of their lengths so that the closure portions of each tubular element are offset from each other, the closure portion of the lower tubular element being positioned rearwardly on the neck of the user; whereby, i. the tapered closure portion of the upper element and adjacent lower, tubular element define a chin support for the user; and, ii. the soft fill materials of the upper and lower tubular elements interiors function to: 1. impart a flexible support for the user's neck and chin which self adjusts for different shapes, sizes and weights of the user's neck and chin regions; 2. maintain a resilient support which increases as the user's neck and chin deviate from an erect position, during motion; and, 3. self adjust to the user in a rest position.
