Apparatus for the testing of elastic textile leg garments

An apparatus for testing an elastic textile leg garment, the apparatus comprising:

• pressure-measuring devices (10, 30, 60, 70) which are disposed inside the leg garment during testing of the elastic textile leg garment, and wherein active elements of the pressure-measuring devices are distributed along the leg garment to be tested, the pressure-measuring device (10, 30, 60, 70) having at least one pressure sensor (51), one lever mechanism (11, 31, 61, 71) and one stay (21, 28, 48, 88), and wherein the at least one pressure sensor (51) is arranged on one side of the lever mechanism (11, 31, 61, 71) and the stay (21, 28, 48, 88) is arranged on the opposite side of the lever mechanism (11, 31, 61, 71), and wherein the at least one pressure sensor (51) and the stay (21, 28, 48, 88) lying opposite this constitute the active elements of one of the measuring devices (10, 30, 60, 70);
• and
• wherein the lever mechanism (11, 31, 61, 71) has a first lever (12) and a second lever (16) which cross one another and are connected pivotably to one another in the region of their crossing point by means of a pivot shaft (17), so that these levers (12, 16) constitute a scissor mechanism, wherein in each case one of the ends (13, 18) lying on both sides of the pivot shaft (17) is supported, wherein the second of the ends (14), lying on one side of the pivot shaft (17), of one of the levers (12) is intended and designed for adjusting the stays (21, 28, 48, 88), and wherein the second of the ends (19), lying on the opposite side of the pivot shaft (17), of the other lever (16) is connected to a horizontally acting adjustment device (25), with the aid of which the distance between the opposite ends (14, 18) of the levers (12, 16) can he changed.
