ABSTRACT:
A neck support collar for use by football players has a central section formed by a plurality of flexible plastic parallel adjacent tubes. A first group of the tubes has a diameter of one inch with a central longitudinal bore of one fourth inch diameter. A second group of the tubes has a diameter of one half inch and a central longitudinal bore of one eighth inch diameter. An end pad formed from soft perforated leather is attached to a first end of the central section and a support pad is attached to a second opposite end. The support pad has an interior rubber pad enclosed within a perforated leather covering. The support pad is subdivided into a plurality of adjacent sections which extend transversely to the tubes of the central section. A combination of buckle-strap and VELCRO fasteners are utilized to secure the collar around the neck of an individual. The device provides a constant balanced support at all sides of an individual's neck and serves to dampen shock created by impacts to the head of the individual.
