摘要: A support unit for a human body wherein one part of the body can be located at different relative positions relative to another part characterised by: a chassis (12), a working carrier (14) for a human body comprising a first section (15) for the trunk, a second section (16) for the thighs, and a third section (17) for the legs; a waist coupling (A); a knee coupling (B); the waist axis (A') being parallel to the knee axis (B') and separated substantially by the length (L2) of the second section (16); the working carrier (14), at least with the first (15), second (16) and third section (17) lying in a substantially common horizontal plane, having in plan overall dimensions (L, W) substantially greater than the overall dimensions (L', W') in plan of the chassis (12); a frame member (22) slidably retaining the first section (15) and to support the working carrier (14); a column (21, 21A) of variable length extending between the chassis (12) and the frame member (22); a link (40) having a first end (22L) pivotably attached to the frame member (22) and the other end to the first end pivotably attached to the second section (16) or an extension thereof in the region of the knee axis (B'); a first longitudinal actuator (24) having a first end (24A) pivotably attached to the column (21, 21A) or an extension thereof and the other end (24B) to the first end pivotably attached to the frame member (22); a second longitudinal actuator (25) having a first end (25A) pivotably attached to the frame member (22) or an extension thereof and the other end (E) to the first end pivotably attached to the first section (15); control means (29, 30, 31) regulating operation of the column (21) and the alignment means; and means (28) for energising the column and alignment means.
