ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a flexible vertebral column with variable tension guying for an anthropomorphous dummy.
According to the invention the vertebral column comprises vertebrae which laterally and dorsally carry radial processes and four lugs alternating with the said processes. The lugs as well as the center of each vertebra are provided with openings for the passage of cords which are secured to the base of the skull and to the top of the pelvis which carry anchor plates. The tension of one cord which passes through the center of the vertebrae and the intervertebral discs is regulatable by a nut and ensures that the desired stiffness of the column is maintained. Other, slightly elastic cords which pass into the lugs simulate the paravertebral muscles. Further slightly elastic cords guided in the shoulder blade area simulate in regulatable manner the dorsal muscles by means of tighteners.
A particular application of the present invention is in the research and control of automobile equipment.
