Abstract
A support structure for at least partially supporting a user's head is described. The support structure comprises a frame having a head engaging portion and a shoulder engaging portion, the shoulder engaging portion adapted to spread the load of the user's head over a user's shoulder, the frame being shaped to the contour of the user's body from the head engaging portion to the shoulder engaging portion.
Claims18
A frame comprising:
- a first projection coupled to a second projection, the first and second projections configured to cooperate and delineate a first concavity;
- a third projection coupled to a fourth projection, the third and fourth projections configured to cooperate and delineate a second concavity;
- and,
- an arcuate connector interposing and coupling the first projection to the second projection, the arcuate connector delineating a third concavity;
- wherein the frame is fabricated from a resilient polymer;
- wherein the frame is adapted, in use, to compress under the weight of a user's head.
3 more elements
A frame comprising:
- a connector having a semi-circular profile demarcating a semi-circular shaped depression;
- a first limb connected to the connector;
- a second limb connected to the connector and cooperating with the first limb to delineate a first gap therebetween, the second limb having mirrored symmetry with respect to the first limb;
- a third limb operatively coupled to the connector;
- and,
- a fourth limb operatively coupled to the connector and cooperating with the third limb to delineate a second gap therebetween, the fourth limb having mirrored symmetry with respect to the third limb;
- wherein the frame is fabricated from a resilient polymer, and resiliency of the frame is configured to provide increased deformation resistance as a weight applied to the frame increases.
4 more elements
A frame comprising:
- a connector having a semi-circular profile that delineates a first concavity;
- a first limb and a second limb operatively coupled to a first side of the connector and spaced apart from one another via the connector, the first and second limbs cooperating to delineate a first cup, where the first limb includes a first limb concave arcuate surface angled toward a second limb concave arcuate surface of the second limb, where the second limb concave arcuate surface is angled toward the first limb concave arcuate surface;
- and,
- a third limb and a fourth limb operatively coupled to a second side of the connector, the third limb includes a third limb arcuate surface angled toward a fourth limb arcuate surface of the fourth limb, where the third limb arcuate surface and the fourth limb arcuate surface cooperate to delineate a second cup, and where the first side is generally opposite the second side;
- wherein the frame is fabricated from a resilient polymer;
- wherein the frame is adapted, in use, to compress under the weight of a user's head.
