Claim 0:
1. An apparatus for toning and strengthening at least one of the neck, chin and face of a head of a user, said apparatus comprising:
an elastomeric sheet having a first end, a second end, a first side and a second side, said elastomeric sheet configured to provide resistance when the user presses their head into a sheet body of said elastomeric sheet;
a frame having a plurality of frame members defining a first end, a second end, a first side and a second side of said frame in corresponding relation to said elastomeric sheet, said frame members further defining a sheet support section and a shoulder engaging section, said sheet support section being sized and configured to support said elastomeric sheet in tension on said frame, said shoulder engaging section being structured and configured to support said apparatus on at least one shoulder of the user with the head of the user positioned adjacent to said elastomeric sheet so the user is capable of pressing their head into said elastomeric sheet when said shoulder engaging section is on the at least one shoulder of the user to exercise the muscles of at least one of the user's neck, the chin and the face;
an adjusting mechanism attached to said elastomeric sheet and operatively supported by said frame, said adjusting mechanism configured to tighten or loosen said elastomeric sheet so as to increase or decrease the tension of said elastomeric sheet to, respectively, increase or decrease the resistance of said elastomeric sheet when the user presses their head into said elastomeric sheet when said apparatus is on the at least one shoulder of the user, said adjusting mechanism having a roller bar rotatably supported by said sheet support section of said frame, said first end of said elastomeric sheet attached to said roller bar so as to increase the tension of said elastomeric sheet when said roller bar is rotated; and
a locking mechanism associated with said adjusting mechanism to lock the adjusting mechanism and prevent further rotation of said roller bar, said adjusting mechanism having one or more roller mounts rotatably supporting said roller bar and said locking mechanism having a locking member on a lock plate that is sized and configured to removably engage a plurality of locking apertures associated with one of said one or more roller mounts, said locking member cooperatively sized and configured with said plurality of locking apertures so as to be received in said plurality of locking apertures.
