Device providing hold and comfort

A device providing hold and comfort allowing any person who may have problems of discomfort or pain when in a seated or standing position to remain comfortably on any support on which they wish to place the lower part of their body corresponding to their position, and comprising:

• a first part, which is referred to as a base of the device, which is at least partially rigid and bears on said support
• at least one second part arranged above the first part and having a shape suitable for receiving soft parts of body segments of the lower part of said person corresponding to their seated or standing position, and comprising at least two pads each supporting one soft part of a body segment of the lower part of the person, and
• at least one third part comprising at least as many shockabsorber-balljoints as there are pads and being arranged between the second part, which bears on these shockabsorber-balljoints, and the rigid first part, on which it bears:
• wherein:
• the rigid first part bears vertically on the support and tilts freely with respect to the latter in all directions about a vertical axis, in a manner of an inverted pendulum, and, thus accompanying macromovements of the body segments mobilized when the person adopts the seated or standing position, this rigid first part is able to achieve gravitational equilibrium following these macromovements,
• the second part, integral with the third part, comprising articulated pads which, independently of each other, support each of the soft parts of the body segments and, thus accompanying postural control micromovements, are able to release joint and muscle tension and,
• each of these three parts making up the device is free to move independently of the others and constantly accompanies the postural balance macromovements of the person and the soft tissue postural control micromovements in a coordinated fashion.
