Abstract:
1. A neck brace, comprising: a ring adapted to substantially encircle a wearer's neck and to provide a clearance between the ring and a front lower rim of a full face helmet when the helmet is worn by the wearer, the clearance allowing a range of freedom of movement of the helmet above the ring, the ring having a front section constructed and arranged to limit forward tilt of the helmet through contact of the front lower rim of the helmet with the front section of the ring; and a lower forward member extending from the ring and having sufficient rigidity to transfer to the wearer's chest at least some of a force applied to the front section of the ring by the front lower rim of the helmet; and wherein the ring further has a side surface constructed and arranged to limit sideward tilt of the helmet through contact of a side lower rim of the helmet and the side surface of the ring.
