## Abstract

A support device for supporting at least one body part of a user includes a support body for supporting at least one body part of a user at least in sections, optionally completely, including a first support body part comprising a support contour for a body part to be supported, and a second support body part which can be connected or is connected to the first support body part, wherein the second support body part is arranged or formed below the first support body part, forming an intermediate space extending between the first support body part and the second support body part.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A support device for supporting at least one body part of a user, comprising a support body for supporting at least one body part of a user at least in sections, optionally completely, wherein a first support body part comprising a support contour for a body part to be supported, and a second support body part which can be connected or is connected to the first support body part, wherein the second support body part is arranged or formed below the first support body part, forming an intermediate space extending between the first support body part and the second support body part.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The support device according to claim 1, wherein the first support body part has a curved basic shape and the second support body part has a curved basic shape, in particular based on the curved basic shape of the first support body part.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The support device according to claim 1, wherein the distance between the first support body part and the second support body part, defined in particular by the intermediate space, is constant in at least one spatial direction.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The support device according to claim 1, wherein a free space is formed below the second support body part.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The support device according to claim 1, wherein a support structure which is arranged or formed extending within the intermediate space between the first support body part and the second support body part and which comprises at least one support element connecting the first support body part to the second support body part.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The support device according to claim 1, wherein the first support body part and/or the second support body part comprises one or more openings.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The support device according to claim 1, wherein the first support body part and the second support body part each comprise one or more openings, and wherein at least one opening of the first support body part is arranged offset relative to at least one opening of the second support body part.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The support device according to claim 1, wherein a third support body part forming a support surface for placing the support device on a base, which is connected to the first and/or the second support body part.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The support device according to claim 1, wherein the support contour comprises a certain number and/or a certain arrangement of predefined configured support contour sections, which corresponds to the number and/or arrangement of limb sections of a respective body part of a user to be placed on the support device.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The support device according to claim 1, wherein in the first support body part and/or in the second support body part a fastening interface is formed for fastening a fixing element for temporarily fixing a body part placed on the support contour.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

A method for producing a support device for supporting at least one body part of a user, comprising a support body for supporting at least one body part of a user at least in sections according to claim 1, comprising the steps of:
forming or providing a first support body part having a support contour for a body part to be applied,
forming or providing and a second support body part which can be connected to the first support body part; and
connecting two support body parts in that the second support body part is arranged or formed below the first support body part, forming an intermediate space extending between the first support body part and the second support body part.
