The invention relates to shaped bodies, containing at least one shaped body (1) whose unstressed three-dimensional inherent volume form has at least one integrated curved part and can be displaced and/or partially or wholly transformed into another three-dimensional volume form by means of an active element (5) connected to the shaped body (1), using a variable force of pressure/tensile force.

Description

CONFIGURED BODIES The invention relates to shaped bodies, which can be used in many technical fields. For example, they can be used in seat backrests, in order to allow, for example, the individual adaptation of the curvature of the backrest for people sitting on the seat at that moment. From DE 33 24 655 A1, a seat including a lumbar support is known, comprising an adjustable spring metal leaf which acts on the backrest upholstery, which has different stiffness of deformation in the upper and lower region. From WO 94/08492, an adjustable backrest support including a panel is known, which can be adjusted by means of an upper and a lower tension element, adapted to be individually adjusted. The configured bodies can also be used to construct supports of building components configured differently, during the assemblies serving as supports to secure the packages, for the prevention of damage to the articles, in the medical-technical field, eg. , for sofas, orthopedic shoes, etc., and in all fields, where certain configurations of space must be able to be modified for optical, technical, medical reasons, eg, also adaptable supports.

It is an object of the invention to provide bodies configured three-dimensionally with an integrated convexity, which are capable of adopting in a simple and easy way, different configurations of spaces, deviating from the original configuration and / or which can be adapted to give also, .gr., adequate support functions. This objective is obtained by a configured body, comprising at least one configured body (1), whose three-dimensional inherent volume configuration discharged includes at least one convexity integrated on one side, displaceable by means of at least one flexible active element ( 5) connected along the convexity with the configured body (1), by applying a variable compression and / or tension force on the flexible active element (5) and / or fully or partially convertible in a volume configuration different three-dimensional by means of the displacement in it. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are apparent from the subsidiary claims. The invention allows a configured body, the inherent three-dimensional unloaded configuration of which comprises at least one integrated convexity, e.g., any desired triangular cross-sectional shape, to be completely or partially converted into a body configured with a different inherent configuration applying a force, in which case, this applied force, and as a result of the spatial transformation, can take place continuously or increasingly. The maximum deformation is obtained by the application of a maximum permissible force; when the application of force is reduced, the deformation is reduced until the original inherent form is obtained again when it is fully discharged. For example, as the active element, a wire, ribbon, cord, band or a strip of synthetic or natural braided fibers or even metal braids, a round or shaped plastic or metal rod, a metal foil strip or similar, in which context, only a sufficiently flexible resilience and resistance force must be present sufficient for the forces to be applied, at least in the direction of attack and transmission of a force. It is also possible to provide, eg, a tension or pressure element in the direction of tension or pressure with different elasticities, eg, using spring elements, for example, to damp and / or subdivide it, in which case , any suitable device between the parts can be included to apply forces to the active elements. The variable shaped body, e.g., may be a spatial body consisting of one or more parts, suitable for absorbing support forces on the one hand, and for transmitting these to the active elements or vice versa. They can be made of plastic, in particular foam plastics, can take the form of a cushioned body and can also include non-deformable parts. The shaped body can be composed of individual elements, which in turn form shaped bodies, which individually can be metals or plastics, or can be composed of a plurality of rigid movable parts in relation to one another. The supports, seats, sofas, optical media and other advertising media, scenarios, camouflage devices, tools, tooling devices, support structures and all types of frames, a part of the mattresses, a bed structure, a packaging container or a container, shoes and many more, for example, can serve as support media or vehicles. A shaped body, likewise, be composed of individual rigid segments, which are connected loosely next to one another, or in an articulated form to an active element, a support, fastening means, the like. The latter consist of a part, for example, it be made of plastic. Any device, capable of exerting a force on the body / bodies configured by means of the active element, can serve for the modification of the forces that will be applied, in which case, the active elements, in the process, can be stretched and loosened. Likewise, an arrangement allowing the application of pressure on the body / shaped bodies is possible. The device can be driven mechanically or by a motor and can be operated directly or by remote control, eg, by means of a Bowden cable or rods or even, pneumatically, hydraulically, electrically or by wireless means.

The connection between the bodies configured the active elements can be carried out in any desired way, eg, by adhesives, welding, binding, etc., in individual cases, also by mere friction, eg, if the configured body is arranged in a serrated envelope. In the following, the invention will be shown in greater detail in accordance with, and by way of working examples. It is shown in: Fig. 1, a modality of a body configured with variable form in three positions in a diagrammatic view; Fig. 2, a section of a backrest with a body configured variable in cross section; Fig. 3, a different backrest with a body configured in variable form in cross section; Fig. 4, two additional embodiments of backings as an adapted module and as a loose cushion in cross section; Fig. 5, a shoe with a body configured in variable form in cross section; Fig. 6, a mattress with two bodies configured in a variable manner in cross section: Fig. 7, a layer with three bodies configured in a variable manner in cross section; Fig. 8, a longitudinal section (A) and two cross sections (B, C) of a seat back including a shaped body extending in longitudinal, vertical and transverse direction, in which the active elements engage in the vertical direction as well as in the transversal one; Fig. 9, a transport container including two variable shaped bodies disposed therein to establish a wide variety of transport articles; Fig. 10, a shaped body, wherein the active elements attack two interspersed places, in order to displace and change the shape and vertex; Fig. 11, a body configured, adapted to stretch in the longitudinal direction and rigid and resistant to pressure in the transverse direction; Fig. 12, a shaped body including separate segments, the configuration and volume of the body thereof, being variable.

Fig. 17, a short embodiment of a configured body comprising separate segments, the configuration and volume of the body thereof, being variable. Fig. 18, a fifth embodiment of a shaped body comprising separate segments, the configuration and volume of the body thereof, being variable. In Figure 1, a basic concept of the invention is shown by means of a variable shaped body 1, in three different shapes. The shaped body 1, is shown in Fig. 1A in its resting position, that is, in its inherent configuration, consisting of the modality of a level 2 base and a convexity 3, designed in cross section in the symmetrically as an isosceles triangle rounded, but that can also be asymmetric. Along the convexity 3, the active element 5 of the optional type, e.g., in the form of a flexible tension strip 6, is adapted by means of connection 4, which for example, can be a resilient adhesive. The variable and resilient shaped body 1 is designed to stretch slightly in the longitudinal direction (from the upper part to the lower part in Fig. 1A), considering that it is almost resistant to the pressure in the transverse direction. If a tension force is applied to the tension strip 6 at one end, the other end behind the configured body 1 is then fixed in its position, or if a tension force is applied to both ends (observe the arrows in Fig. 1B), the tension strip 6 begins to stretch, pressing the configured body 1 forward, elastically deforming it, until it reaches the final position shown in Fig. 1C, in which the shaped body 1 has a mirror image configuration in relation to the original position, that is, the convexity 3 'then faces the opposite side of the original position. If the tensile forces are slowly or spontaneously reduced and finally canceled, the configured body 1 departs from the configuration shown in Fig. 1C to that shown in Fig. 1A under its inherent tension / inherent resilience. By adjusting the tensile force from zero to a value, in which the tension strip 6 is fully stretched, any desired position, i.e., the convexity of the shaped body 1, can be set between the two original positions. The embodiment shown in Figure 2, in two positions, shows a seat backrest with a support structure 7, e.g., in the form of a cover, comprising a concavity in the form of channel 8. Above the concavity 8 , an active element 5 is adapted in the form of a tension band 9, designed in such a way that it is layers to be supported in a non-stretched manner in the concavity 8. In the end region or below the concavity 8, a device 10 is fixed. to the cover, by means of which forces are transmitted on the tension band 9. The device 10 can be, for example, a winding apparatus for a tension strip 6, or a tension band 9, or even a rope or a strip of cloth. Inside the cover, a shaped body 1 is provided in the form of a backing support, in which context the back support has a convexity 3, which corresponds in its shape to the concavity 8 or vice versa. In particular, the parts of the back support without convexity, placed in the upper and lower portion outside the concavity 8 of the cover, can be adapted releasably, or permanently. A releasable connection can be achieved, eg, by sailboat fasteners or by pressure fasteners. Conceivable fastening of tension band 9 in the region of convexity 3 is not required in the present case, since there is fractional contact with the body configured 1. In the original position inherent to the back support, the convexity 3 abuts against the cover in the concavity 8, such as the tension band 9. In this way, an individual adaptation of the configured body can now be made 1, which serves as a lumbar support, to the particular configuration of the person using the backrest, the tension band 9 is rewound by the device 10, in the form of a winding device, causing it to be tensioned and assumed in the final stage the linearly stretched position shown in Fig. 2B. During the winding, the convexity 3 moves continuously from the concavity 8 and moves outwards until the configured body 1 in its final stage assumes the convexity 3 ', now directed outwards as shown in Fig. 2B. If the tension band 9 is unraveled again by the winding device, the convexity of the backrest returns again in the original shape and position initially specified due to its inherent resilience or tension force, etc. By means of a bolt device, not shown, or a winding automatic closing tension device and, as a result, the tension force applied to the tension band 9, can be stopped in any position, so that it can be retained Individual adaptation. A simple embodiment, not illustrated, consists of a body configured as described in Fig. 1, the convexity of which is connected to a mesh, e.g., of fabric, which serves as the active element. The upper free end of the fabric mesh is fixed, eg, on a cross beam while a winding device is fixed in position under the configured body, by means of which the fabric mesh is wound and unraveled and therefore tensioned, and, as a result, the modification of the shape of the configured body also becomes possible. The backing, including the head support shown in Fig. 3, consists of a support structure 7 'in the form of a rigid foam back portion, on which a head support is provided in the upper region, comprising a cavity 11, which serves, among other things, to accommodate the variably configured body 1. In this case, the force application device 10 is automatically closed and connected to a Bowden cable arrangement 12, in which context, a portion of the cable arrangement 13, is connected to the convexity 3 of the shaped body 1. The arrangement of the cable 13 is guided around two deflection points, 14, 14. The Bowden cable arrangement 12, can be provided with any device 10 for applying forces, in the present case, to shorten and lengthen the cable arrangement 13, whereby the desired deformation of the configured body 1 is performed, as described above. On that side against which it is inclined, a flexible cover 15 covering the cavity 11 and the shaped body 1, is provided on the firm rear part, which likewise, can serve as upholstery or for absorption and abuts loosely against the configured body 1 or can also be connected to the last one. A further modification of the modality resides in that at any of the upper or lower ends, or even at both ends, the tension strips or bands are reflected in the fastening means and passed to the rear side. Due to the two deflection points 14, 14 ', it is possible to arrange the device 10 to apply the active forces in the region of the rear part, that is to say, hidden. Preferably, the friction, increased by the deflection, can be reduced by suitable means, such as, for example, roller bodies provided on the shafts. If, as shown in Fig. 3, deflection takes place in the upper and lower part, it is also possible, while adhering to the modified form of the configured body 1, established in each particular case, to then move it upwards and down. For example, this can be done at one of the deflection points 14 or 14 'are designed for the arrangement of the cable 13 as a rotating bearing (not shown), eg, using a rotating bushing, around which the arrangement of the cable 13 is guided, optionally with a complete wrapping. By turning the bushing, optionally by means of suitable accessories, the adjustment up and down of the configured body 1 can be made, in the course of which, the device 10 for the application of forces should not alter this movement. The device 10 for the application of forces can be designed by itself to move up and down, so that by means of this ascending and descending movement, the level of adjustment can be realized in each particular case. Fig. 4 shows two modalities of a backup. The embodiment shown in Fig. 4A represents an independent module, which, for example, can be closed, eg, hinged, as a set in a seat structure without any tool. The embodiment illustrated in Fig. 4B, is designed as a mobile, transportable backrest. The configured body 1 of the backrests corresponds to the configuration and function to the configured bodies described above, so only the following deviations will be indicated. In both examples, an active element 5 is provided in the form of a tension element 6, adapted to the upper end of a piece of the upper end (Fig. 4A), which has the shape of a hook in the present example, The end piece in the form of hook 16, it is adapted to be hooked, for example, to a transverse rod 17, forming part, for example, of a seat structure (support structure 7). The lower end of the tension element 6 communicates with the device 10 for applying forces, which may be designed as a winding device including an eccentric means. By means of an eccentric means, the adjustment characteristics can be modified, e.g., first rapidly with little force and then slowly with increasing force. The hook-shaped end piece 16 may be connected to a rear panel 7 'or may form an integral part thereof. At the lower end of the rear panel 7 'or in the seat structure, respectively, hooks 18, clamps, eyelets, or the like are provided, by means of which the module can be adapted to the seat structure, preferably without any tools . The module can have any desired support structure, even without a back panel. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 4B, a closed structure 17 is provided, but in any case U-shaped, with a rear panel 7 'and a base 20, e.g., a spar or the like. The structure 19 may also be designed as a cover, in which a concavity 8 is integrated. At the upper end, the active element 5, eg, a cloth mesh, is attached to a support rod 21. , adapted to be inserted in a tube 22 having a spacing 23 for the purpose of introducing the fabric mesh into the structure 19. The active element 5 may also be composed of a plurality of tension bands, arranged side by side, in which context their connection, eg, to a winding device, can be made on trunnions of shafts having different external diameters, so that during the rotation of the shared shaft together, the tension bands can be wound at different speeds, which also allows to exert some effect in the transverse direction in the shaped bodies 1, eg, lateral support. It is also possible to provide a plurality of winding devices, which can be activated individually or by any desired interconnection. The active elements, of course, can also attack in the transverse direction, in order to act on the cross section of the backrest. There is the reasoning that in all the modes described, the device 10 for applying forces, such as, eg, winding devices or tensioners, can also be disposed at the upper end of the backrest or said drive can also be performed from a distance , e.g., through a Bowden cable arrangement. A motor drive means, electrically driven, hydraulically or pneumatically, may also be employed. By making use of endless screws, threads, eccentric means, etc., the winding or tensioning device can also have automatic closing properties, which automatically ensures the closing in any desired position by means of an adjustment by means of a manual wheel or a lever, without having to employ the closing means, which have to be operated specifically, releasable latching devices. Fig. 5 shows a shoe including an orthopedic support by means of a body configured with variable form 1 ,. In this case, the adjustment of the active element 5, e.g., in the form of a tensioning rope 24, can be carried out by a spool device 25 (Fig. 5B), adapted to be changed and closed or by a cable arrangement Bowden including a screw spindle 26. The shaped body 1 is covered by a flexible shoe sole 27. Fig. 6 shows a mattress, comprising two bodies configured in variable form 1 and 1 'in longitudinal direction, one in the region of the head and another in the lumbar region. In this case, structure elements are provided, to which active elements 5 and / or devices 10 can be adapted by applying forces, in the context of which deflections and supports can be provided., if required. The mattress further comprises a body, e.g., a foam body, in which concavities 8, 8 'and / or spaces are provided for the shaped bodies 1 and 1', as well as a closed cover 15. FIG. 7, shows an application of the invention within a bed structure, where three bodies configured in a variable manner 1, 1 ', 1"are provided, in the longitudinal direction, allowing an action similar to that of a bed structure of grids Fig. 8 shows a vertical section through the back of a seat (Fig. 8A), in which a shaped body 1, adapted to vary its shape in vertical and transverse direction, is furthermore associated with elements transversely directed assets 5 in the form of tension strips 6, 6", in order to obtain a deformation also on the cross section (see Fig. 8B and C), in which case it is also possible to merely provide an active element or in addition said elements assets in trans direction versal Fig. 9 shows a cross section through a packing container 28 including two bodies configured in a variable form, in the form of a boomerang 1, 1 ', the wings of which adjoin each case against the adjacent walls of the container. package 28 (inherent form). On the surfaces of the shaped bodies 1, 1 ', abutting against the walls, tension bands 6, 6' are provided, to serve as active elements 5, adapted at one end, close to one of the corners 29, 29 '( Fig. 9A) of the packaging container 28, in which the two shaped bodies 1 and 1 'are located, and inserted at the other end into a self-closing tensioning or winding device which serve as the device 10 for applying forces . In one or both shaped bodies 1, 1 ', incisions 30 and / or openings similar to wedges can be provided, allowing better adaptation of the variable shaped bodies 1, 1', to the prevailing forms of transport articles 31 or even facilitating a modification of form. In Fig. 9B, the transport protection is shown in three different articles 31 by means of the bodies configured in variable form 1, 1 '. The reasoning prevails that for specific purposes of using only a larger number of shaped bodies 1 is possible for a packaging container 28 of any desired shape. The original shape, as well as the variable shape bodies 1, 1 ', can be adapted in advance to any desired article 31 that will be packed. For most of the embodiments described hitherto, the modification of a body configured with a predetermined variable shape takes place only until it reaches its negative or mirror image form, that is, the deformation is virtually a displacement itself. The examples will still be shown later, where, additional modification or additional modifications are provided by the application of superimposed forces. Fig. 10 shows the influence of forces in two separate places 32 and 33 in the active element 5, connected to a configured body 1, allowing in the modality a vertex displacement of a convexity 3 from S1 to S2 and backwards, depending on the original predetermined form, the case of which, in two separate places 32 and 33, tensile forces of any desired combination can be applied, as it may be the case, even compression forces can be applied on, or reduced from, the element active 5 with variable intensity. This causes a wide variation in the modification of the configured body 1, which can be further modified by changing the position and / or the number of coupling points 32, 33. It is also possible to provide additional active elements 5, which allow the transmission of forces in any additional direction, so that the shaped body 1 can undergo additional deformations, in which case, additional main and side effects can be obtained, such as, e.g., release and / or massage movements. Fig. 11 shows a shaped leather 34 in the form of a resilient body, which can be stretched in the longitudinal direction, consisting of the transverse direction of rigid folds, approximately parallel with a height of increasing crease, and then decreasing, i.e. , in its original form has a linear base 2 and a convexity 3. In the embodiment shown, the active element 5, a tension strip 6, associated with the shaped body 34, is guided around two deflection points 14, 14 ' , the two ends 6a and 6b of the tension strip (see Fig. 11C and D) being interconnected by means of a device 35, adjusting the separation of the ends 6a and 6b from one another. In addition, one of the deflection points 14 or 14 'is arranged in a form of adjustable distance relative to the other. If the two deflection points 14, 14 ', as shown in Fig. 11A, are placed as closely as possible, the tension strip 6 loosens and the configured body 34 is present in its predetermined original state. In this case, the respective terminal fold can be anchored on the active element 5. Varying the gap in the direction of moving the deflection points 14, 14 'away from each other, eg, changing the axis of a deflection roller by forming the deflection point, the active element 5 expands and stretches the configured body 34, displacing it at the same time. The displacement can be carried out additionally or also only in that, as described above, the spacing between the ends of the strips 6a and 6b is adjusted. Two possible modifications are illustrated in Fig. 11C and Fig. 11D, both comprising an adjustment mechanism including a Bowden cable arrangement. If one of the two deflection rollers is rotated about its own axis, a displacement of the vertex of the opposite convexity 3 'is caused. FIG. 12 illustrates a further modification of a device for modifying a shaped body and for the additional displacement capability of the vertex of the displaced convexity 3 'of a shaped body 36. In this case, the shaped body 36 is composed of segments 37, adapted to any desired flexible support 38 in an articulated manner in a separate relationship, its other ends being likewise adapted in an articulated form to a flexible active element 5. In this case, the segments 37 are arranged at an angle in relationship with the horizontal line. In the embodiment shown, the heights of the individual segments 37 relative to the horizontal line are selected such that their vertices describe a curve, ie, a convexity 3. If the active element 5 is adjusted to one end and if it is applied tension on the other end until it is fully stretched, then not only a convexity 3 'is obtained in the opposite direction, but also a vertex displacement, depending on the setting of the angle and the displacement of the active element 5 of the concavity 8 in the stretched position (see Fig. 12B). If the establishment of the fixing point and the tension direction are changed over the active element 5, a vertex shift takes place in the opposite direction (see Fig. 12C). The embodiment illustrated in Fig. 13 shows a structure, similar to one described in Fig. 12; in this case, however, a configured body 39 is provided, in which, symmetrically to the center line of the individual segments 37 'on the right side, opposite those on the left side, are arranged symmetrically but at opposite angles to the horizontal line and they are connected in an articulated manner to the active element 5 or the support 38. A uniform convexity is obtained since a uniform tension is applied at both ends to the active element 5. If the tension is applied unevenly at both ends, a vertex displacement can be carried back within certain limits. In the embodiment illustrated in Fig. 14, the shaped body 39 'has the configuration described in Fig. 13. In this case, however, the active element 5 is fixed at both ends and separated in the center between the two segments 37 'having an opposite angle arrangement and provided with a device 35' to adjust the spacing between the separated ends. If the ends are touched, that is, if the separation is zero, the curved position of the configured body 39 is obtained, as shown in Fig. 14B. Fig. 15 shows a modality of a shaped body 40, composed of individual segments 37", which move freely in relation to one another, but derive the support from one another, form a shaped body 40 having a convexity directed downwards 3. Under the configured body 40, an active element 5 is provided in a concavity 8, corresponding to the convexity 3, while a flexible cover 15 is disposed above the configured body 40. In this embodiment, forming a configured body enclosed 40, due to the cover 15 and the active element 5, without requiring connection, neither to the active element 5 nor to the cover 15, since the individual segments 37"are arranged side by side, supporting each other and holding them from the lower by the active element 5. In this embodiment, the tension force is preferably applied to both ends. In Fig. 15B, a modified convex element 40 is shown by stretching the active element 5, the new convexity 3 'from which it points in the opposite direction to the original position. Fig. 16 shows a modality of a shaped body 41, in which the individual segments 37"'are arranged in a fishbone-like pattern, the active element 5, being arranged in each case connected to it in a form articulated between the upper and lower segments 37 '", where it is still applicable with a longitudinal slide. The free ends of the segments 37 '"are mounted in an articulated form on a flexible cover 42, surrounding the shaped body 41. If a force is applied to the active element 5, rigidly connected in an articulated manner at one end to the last pair of segments with a slide, the configured body 41, which is in its original position, see Fig. 16A and C, is extremely flat, can be converted into a balloon-shaped body, see Fig. 16B and D. No concavity is provided or separation and the configured body 41 is disposed on a surface, eg, a level surface and a tension force is applied on one side, the configured body 41 out of the original position shown in Fig. 16C experiences a deformation in the form of a maximal balloon as illustrated in Fig. 16D In this process, the active element 5 no longer forms a straight line but a curve, Figs 17 and 18 show modalities of a variably configured body 43 , fun for example, on a plane or even on curved surfaces of any design, that is, without a real concavity being present, into which the configured body can be inserted or in which it is originally arranged. Fig. 17 shows a plate 44, on which the shaped body 43 is provided, composed of segments 37 of different height, adapted in an articulated manner to the plate 44 in a separate relationship, the free ends of which an active element 5 is connected in an articulated manner, and on which, as the case may be, a cover 15 can be provided. In the rest position shown in Fig. 17A, the body configured 43 adopts its most woolen form, that is, its starting position. With the application of a tension force on the active element 5 in the direction of the arrow according to Fig. 17B, the segments 37 are raised and the shaped body 43 becomes curved. If the segments 37 are vertical in relation to the plate 44, the convexity obtains the maximum vertex height. For the possible obtaining of the vertex height, a restoring force can be provided, eg, in the form of a spring or shear force, to peck the segments 37. The shape of a shaped body 45 illustrated in FIG. Fig. 18, is structured in a manner similar to that described in Fig. 17. In this case, the segments 37 are adapted in an articulated manner in a separate relationship in a preferably rigid active medium 50 serving as the active element 5 instead of directly on the plate 44 as in the embodiment according to Fig. 17. In the present case, the plate 44 serves as a support and / or guide means for the active element 5, v.gr, a tension rod 46. The free ends of the segments 37 are in the present chaos adapted to a cover 15 in an articulated form. If a tension force is applied in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 20B, the segments 37 are raised and a curved body is formed according to its longitudinal dimensions and its arrangement. In the case of using a dimensionally rigid active element, again a reduction of the convexity can be obtained, in the case of further movement of the active element 5, to a position where the segments 37 again lie side by side, without However, in an opposite direction the position shown in Fig. 18A. If the cover 15 has an inherent elasticity, that is, it is capable of applying a force to the segments 37, the active element 5 may also consist of any flexible material, stress resistant material, as the return of the segments 37 in the starting position it can be effected by the resilience and tension force of the cover 15, as long as the possible automatic closing is excluded by appropriate measurements. By means of the modalities shown in Figures 16 to 18, the deformation of a shaped body can be realized, enlarging its volume. The individual components described as well as the functionally simulated components can be used in any combination desired for the manufacture of the configured leathers, just as the individual shaped bodies can likewise be combined into units in any desired form.
