Abstract:
1. A support and containment structure for persons comprising at least one support member which extends mainly along a longitudinal axis, and at least one containment element, said at least one containment element being assembled transversely on said at least one support member and able to contain a trunk of a person, said at least one support member consisting of a plurality of modular elements adjacent to each other and able to be clamped in a stable position by means of relative clamps, said modular elements assuming, in their entirety during use, a position adapted to the trunk of the person in correspondence with the person's spine, wherein said clamps comprise at least one stopping nut or bolt in order to selectively clamp the modular elements in the position adapted to the trunk of the person, and two attachment elements with a longitudinal development mating with a development of said support member and disposed, respectively, between the at least one containment element and the support member and between the support member and the at least one stopping nut or bolt, wherein the position of each modular element is adjustable such that when the modular elements are close together the support member has greater rigidity and when the modular elements are distanced from each other the support member has greater flexibility that allows for the modular elements to adapt to curves of each person's spine.
