Abstract (en)
An apparatus for use in the design of ortopaedic chairs comprises a chair (2) and a contour measuring device (2a) mounted at the rear of the chair (2). The contour measuring device includes an elongate member (8) having a plurality of rods (9) slidably mounted therein, the rods (9) being mounted in parallel side-by-side relationship along the length of the elongate member (80) in a substantially common plane. In use, each rod (9) is slidable so as to enable the tip of one end of each rod (9) to engage the back of a patient sitting in the chair which tips thereby define a contour of the patient's back. A number of different contours along different vertical planes may be taken by adjusting the position of the elongate member (8) in the horizontal direction.
