Abstract
Support device for supporting a body or a part of a body, in particular of a human body, comprising at least one deformable element with a first face and a second face opposite each other and provided with at least one detection means for detecting deformations of said deformable element, in which the detection means comprises: a substrate sheet (20), which is connected to one of the faces of said deformable element (6) extending parallel thereto and is provided with a plurality of metal windings (19) formed flat on at least one face of this substrate sheet, and a plurality of metal pellets (28), which are connected to the other face of said deformable element.
Claims12
Support device for supporting a body or a part of a body, in particular of a human body, comprising:
- at least one deformable element having a first face and a second face on opposite sides, a base sheet, and at least a plurality of inflatable hollow cells projecting on one side of the base sheet which are individually deformable in terms of height with respect to the base sheet;
- and
- a device for detection of deformations associated with the deformable element, the device for detection of deformations comprising:
- a substrate sheet associated with said base sheet, extending parallel to the base sheet, and provided with a plurality of metal windings formed flat on at least one face of the substrate sheet;
- and
- a plurality of metal pellets coupled to end parts of said inflatable hollow cells away from said base sheet such that the metal pellets follow the movements of the end parts, wherein the metal pellets are situated above a central portion of the metal windings.
