ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
(1) Field of the Invention
This invention relates to reducing the size of the neck. Craft persons have ordinary skill in this art.
(2) Description of the Related Art
There are many attempts in the related art to reduce the apparent size of the human neck. Most of these attempts are based on pulling the skin of the neck back in order to give the appearance of a smaller neck. None of these attempts however actually reduce the size of the neck.
Indicative of the attempts to reduce the apparent size of the neck is DONALDSON U.S. Pat. No. 3,457,914. DONALDSON describes his invention as a “neck tensioning device”. DONALDSON'S device, quite simply, is a device that wraps around the neck and is tensioned thereon. The tensioning of the device pulls the loose skin of the neck back to give the appearance of a smaller neck.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An object of this invention is to reduce the overall size of a human neck.
Further objects of this invention are to reduce the size of the neck while being comfortable, other than elevated temperature, to the wearer.
Other objects are to achieve the above with a method that is rapid, versatile, ecologically compatible, energy conserving, efficient, and inexpensive, and does not require highly skilled people to use and maintain.
Further objects are to achieve the above with devices that are sturdy, compact, durable, lightweight, simple, safe, efficient, versatile, ecologically compatible, energy conserving, and reliable, yet inexpensive and easy to manufacture, use and maintain.
Further objects are to achieve the above with a product that is easy to store, has a long storage life, is safe, versatile, efficient, stable and reliable, yet is inexpensive and easy to manufacture and use.
The specific nature of the invention, as well as other objects, uses, and advantages thereof, will clearly appear from the following description and from the accompanying drawings, the different views of which are not necessarily scale drawings.
