## Abstract

The invention relates to a device for fixing a test person on a standing surface, wherein at least one rope is tensioned between a hip belt placed on the test person and a retaining plate arranged below the standing surface.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A device for fixing a test person on a standing surface, wherein between a waist belt placed on the test person and a retaining plate arranged below the standing surface at least one rope is tensioned,
wherein at least three deflection rollers are arranged on the retaining plate in such a way that the center of gravity of the area formed by the deflection rollers coincides with the center of gravity of the test person, as projected onto the retaining plate, and one circumferential rope is guided from the waist belt, placed on the test person, across the deflection rollers and back to the waist belt,
wherein the rope is a flexible steel rope.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

Use of a device as claimed in claim 1, in weightlessness or in water.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the deflection rollers are arranged uniformly distributed around the center of gravity of the area formed by the deflection rollers.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the deflection rollers are arranged uniformly distributed around the center of gravity of the test person, as projected onto the retaining plate.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the deflection rollers has a pivot which is arranged in a common plane.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the circumferential rope is guided from the waist belt, placed on the test person, across the deflection rollers and directly back to the waist belt.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the waist belt comprises at least one inner ring, placed directly on the test person, and at least one outer ring which guides the rope, wherein the inner ring is pivot-mounted at the outer ring.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the rope has a substantially constant length.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The device as claimed in claim 8, wherein a maximum length difference in the rope is 5 mm.
