Abstract
Stimulation actuators that exert any desired movements on the underspringing arrangement. The underspringing arrangement has lifting members (11) that are mounted elastically by means of elastic elements (14). The elastic elements (14) are arranged such that at least a main direction of work extends at an angle with respect to the direction of the movement of the lifting member. In this way, the lifting member (11) can have a particularly low overall height. The supporting surface of the underspringing arrangement can be moved up and down by the lifting member (11) and the elastic element (14), thereby permitting an individual stimulation and movement of a person lying on the mattress.
Claims16
A stimulation actuator for moving supporting surfaces for sitting on, standing on or lying on, used on mattresses, furniture or the like, which stimulation actuator comprising:
- a movable lifting member (11);
- an elastic element (14);
- and
- a means for driving the lifting member,
- wherein the lifting member (11) is mounted elastically by means of the elastic element (14), the elastic element (14) being arranged such that at least a main direction of work thereof extends at an angle substantially transversely with respect to the direction of the movement of the lifting member.
A microstimulation system comprising:
- at least one stimulation actuators (10) for moving supporting surfaces for sitting on, standing on or lying on, used on mattresses, furniture or the like, which stimulation actuator has a movable lifting member (11), wherein the lifting member (11) is mounted elastically by means of an elastic element (14), the elastic element (14) being arranged such that at least a main direction of work thereof extends at an angle substantially transversely with respect to the direction of the movement of the lifting member;
- and
- a central control unit for controlling the at least one stimulation actuators, in which the at least one stimulation actuators are actuated individually and independently of one another via the central control unit and/or the at least one stimulation actuators (10) are movable in different movement patterns via the central control unit.
