Abstract: A device for regulating the temperature in a room (4) for keeping objects comprises a thermo-electric cooling element (7) connected by one first end (8) thereof to said room through a first heat conducting element, means (16) connected to the thermo-electric cooling element and adapted to cause an electric current to flow through said cooling element, and a second heat conducting element connected to the opposite, second end (10) of the cooling element and adapted to be in contact with a medium (30) for exchange of heat therewith controlled by the electric current through said thermo-electric cooling element. One of the two heat conducting elements is flexible over at least a part (13) of the extension thereof.

Abstract: A body-supporting device forming the seat (1) and/or the backrest (15) of a chair and adapted to avoid sweating caused by the thermal insulation of the chair includes at least those sections (2) of the exterior surface of the device that form the support surfaces for parts of the body of a person sitting in the chair made of air-permeable material, an internal bag member (6) having air opening (11) to the exterior of the device arranged to communicate with the interior side of the air-permeable sections (2) through holes (7) and a suction device capable of producing a negative air pressure connected to the opening.
