Abstract:
1. An apparatus for detecting the hand force or the hand pressure of a person, comprising: a pressure or force measuring apparatus, a pain actuator, designed as a heat generation apparatus, and a hollow body extending in a longitudinal direction, wherein the hollow body includes an upper fixed end part, a lower fixed end part and a spacer element, wherein the upper end part and the lower end part are kept mutually spaced apart via the spacer element, wherein the spacer element extends in the longitudinal direction, and wherein the hollow body includes a flexible outer cover which connects the upper end part to the lower end part such that a closed inner space is formed within which the spacer element is also arranged, wherein the outer cover is designed such that it can be at least partly surrounded by a hand, and wherein the inner space of the hollow body includes a gel material, an elastic multicomponent material or a liquid material which acts as a pressure transmitter, and wherein the pressure or force measuring apparatus extends at least partly in the inner space in the longitudinal direction to transmit the pressure from the outer cover via the pressure transmitter to the pressure or force measuring apparatus.
