Abstract: |
An apparatus for preventing a sleeping person from snoring while permitting normal, comfortable sleep, comprising a flexible cylindrically shaped body means designed to be worn in proximity to the user's neck and beneath the user's chin. Said cylindrically shaped body means is designed with a cross-sectional diameter sufficient at that portion which is worn beneath the user's chin to restrict forward cervical vertebral flexion, while permitting substantial flexibility of the neck in other directions to maximize comfort and permit normal sleep. The cylindrically shaped body means has a first end and a second end restrained within proximity to a plane tangential to the rear of the user's neck by a connecting device, yet displaced from immediate proximity to the back of the neck and head whereby said first and second ends of said body means do not encroach between said user's neck and the associated bedding, thereby permitting normal repose. Said cylindrically shaped body means is maintained in the appropriate orientation and proximity to the user's neck and chin by attachment straps passing around the user's neck or around the user's head and adjustably attached by suitable fastening means.
