摘要 |
The present invention relates to a thorax simulation device (4) comprising a base (16), an air containing system (6) containing a volume of air, an air transfer system (7) and tactile feedback actuation system (8) comprising a movable actuating member (36) and a reciprocating arrangement (14). The actuating member is operationally coupled to the air containing system by a chamber actuating mechanism (42) configured to change the air volume within the air containing system as a function of the displacement of the actuating member. The reciprocating arrangement comprises a traction mechanism (52) configured to apply a traction force on the actuating member, and a compression mechanism (54) configured to apply a compression force on the actuating member, the compression force and traction force acting in opposite directions. |
