Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0819397A1] The invention relates to a sitting or lying element with a bearing frame and at least two bearers. The bearers (3,3') are provided with a coupling element at each end. The coupling elements (9) rest in a resilient manner in accommodation recesses (17) in the supporting members of the bearing frame. The part of the coupling element situated in the accommodation recess (17) rests against the wall of the accommodation recess, which ensures that it is positioned in an operationally safe manner during the spring movement. The bearers (3,3') can rotate about the coupling elements (9). With the sitting or lying element according to the invention, very good pressure distribution is possible, and the contours of a person sitting on the element can be followed accurately. The shape of the lying element is also such that the contours of a person lying down are followed and very good muscle relaxation is possible. The bearers are preferably made relatively rigid.
