Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/053533
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system (1) for supporting the human body or a human body segment, said system comprising a base element (3) having a substantially flat shape, and one or more pluralities of shaped modular elements (5). According to the invention, said base element (3) is flexible, so that it can be brought from an operating, extended configuration to a non-operating, folded configuration. The support system according to the invention comprises one or more stiffening elements (17), which are designed in such a way that, on the one hand, they provide the correct stiffness to the backrest when in the operating configuration, and, on the other hand, they do not prevent the possibility of folding the backrest 1 when in the non-operating configuration. The support system can, for example, be made in the form of a seat, a backrest, a mattress or the like.
