Abstract
A device for protecting a person's neck comprises an arcuate, resilient body formed of cushioning material terminating at its opposite ends in arms which are movable toward and away from one another. A flexible, U-shaped mounting strap is joined to free ends of the arms so that the arcuate body and the mounting strap together form an endless loop. An anchor strap extends transversely of the loop and is joined at its opposite ends to the mounting strap. The anchor strap is adjustable in length so as to position the opposite ends of the arcuate body a selected distance from one another and to inhibit movement of such arms in directions away from one another.
