Cervical spine and head supporting device

摘要

A cervical spine and head supporting device is described herein for supporting a user's head when extended at least partially over the sink or basin. The device maintains alignment of the head with the neck or spine particularly as the user moves their head relative to the device or sink to prevent or minimize straining of the user's neck while washing their hair. The device generally comprises a base which is shaped for positioning within a sink or basin, a support column adjustable attached to the base, a supporting member extending from the support column, and a head support which is shaped to support a posterior region of a head of a user, where the head support is pivotably coupled to the supporting member such that the head support is adjustable with a movement of the head when the head is moved relative to the supporting member.

主权项

1. A head support apparatus, comprising:
a base which is shaped for positioning within a sink or basin; a support column slidably attached to the base such that a height of the column is adjustable relative to the base; a supporting member extending from the support column; and a head support comprising a circularly concave top surface with a fully encircled drainage opening at a low-point of a cross-sectional height of the circularly concave top surface which is shaped to support a posterior region of a head of a user, wherein the head support is pivotably coupled to the supporting member such that the head support remains angularly adjustable in a longitudinal direction with a movement of the head when the head is moved relative to the supporting member, and wherein the head support apparatus is configured to remain unconstrained to the sink or basin such that the apparatus is transferable from one sink or basin to another.
