Title:

UNIVERSAL PLATFORM DEVICE

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/120629

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

A universal platform device (100, 200) includes a support member (102,.202) and at least one base member (104, 204) having a first surface configured to be positioned on a primary surface. The base member can be pivotably coupled to the support member, and includes a plurality of gaseous cells (110, 210) at least toward the first surface and flexible regions (112, 212) at least between the respective gaseous cells. The weight of the object or person being supported on platform device deforms the flexible material and the gaseous cells. Upon deformation of the flexible regions and gaseous cells, the shape of the mating portion substantially conforms to the shape of the primary surface. The gaseous cells at the mating portion expand to form numerous suction cups and the base member clasps on to the primary surface.
