Abstract

Coussin gonflable en sections (r, s, t, u) ou compartiments habituellement isolés l'un de l'autre. La base (2) du coussin comporte des canaux (28) qui vont des nombreuses sections jusqu'à un clapet à charnière. Lorsque le clapet est ouvert, les canaux sont reliés au moyen d'un distributeur (36) situé dans le clapet, alors que lorsqu'il est fermé, les canaux sont bloqués avant que le distributeur et les sections ne soient isolés. Comme le coussin comporte plusieurs sections distinctes et isolées, il est plus stable et maintient plus efficacement l'utilisateur dans une position souhaitée. Dans une application modifiée, des vannes (10) et des tiges (8) de remplissage sont prévues pour chacune des sections et pour le distributeur.
