    Abstract: A lightweight neck brace includes a head bracing member, a support member and a rotating mechanism rotatably couple the head bracing member and the support member between an adjustment state and a free state. The rotating mechanism enables the lightweight neck brace to be operable to switch between the adjustment state and the free state. In the adjustment state, the head bracing member can only be adjusted away from the support member, such that a height position of the supported head cannot be lowered. In the free state, the head bracing member can be adjusted away from the support member or close to the support member as desired.
