    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for adjusting an active length of a plurality of interwoven support elements of a weight bearing surface to conform to contours of a user's anatomy. The weight bearing surface overlies a frame to which the plurality of interwoven support elements are connected. The apparatus includes an adjustment mechanism connected to one of the plurality of interwoven support elements, wherein the adjustment mechanism is attached or releasably attached to the frame. The adjustment mechanism allows the active length of the connected interwoven support element to change as a user bears upon the weight bearing surface, thereby conforming the weight bearing surface to the contours of a user's anatomy. In another aspect, a method for adjusting an active length of at least some of a plurality of interwoven support elements of a weight bearing surface to conform to contours of a user's anatomy is disclosed.

    Abstract translation: 公开了一种用于调整承重表面的多个交织支撑元件的有效长度以符合使用者解剖结构轮廓的装置。 承重表面覆盖多个交织的支撑元件连接到的框架。 该装置包括连接到多个交织支撑元件中的一个的调节机构,其中调节机构被附接或可释放地附接到框架。 调节机构允许连接的交织支撑元件的有效长度随着使用者承载在承重表面上而改变,从而使承重表面与使用者解剖结构的轮廓相吻合。 在另一方面,公开了一种用于调整承重表面的多个交织支撑元件中的至少一些的有效长度以符合使用者解剖结构轮廓的方法。
