Abstract: A head support device includes a base including a horizontal portion and a pair of vertical members that are attached to and extend upwardly from the horizontal portion so that a first vertical member and a second vertical member are defined. A strap has a first end and a second end. The second end of the strap is attached to the second vertical member. A retracting mechanism draws the strap toward or releases the strap away from the first vertical member. The retracting mechanism is attached to the first vertical member. A portion of the strap positioned between the vertical members is moved upwardly away from the horizontal portion when the strap is drawn toward the first vertical member and is moved toward the horizontal portion when the strap is released away from the first vertical member.
