Abstract: A multi-part safety closure for a hot-water bottle includes at least one closure part (4) having an external screw thread (12) for screwing into an internal screw thread of a hot-water bottle and having a first force transmission element (6) for transmitting force for screwing and unscrewing the closure part (4) into and out of, respectively, the internal screw thread of the hot-water bottle (14) to seal the bottle (14) in a water-tight manner; and a manual actuating element (2) having a second force transmission element (8) for transmitting to the closure part (4) the force required to screw and unscrew the closure part (4) into and out of, respectively, the internal screw thread (17). The first force transmission element (6) and the second force transmission element (8) are configured such that the closure part (4) is operably connectable with the manual actuating element (2) in a detachable manner.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a guiding/supporting structure and to a method for detecting surface deformations of body surfaces of living beings for determining suitable contact surfaces for guiding/supporting structures, which can be brought into contact with the surface of the living beings. The method comprises orienting a body part of the living being with respect to a detection device for at least partially detecting the surface shape of at least one surface area of the body part, detecting a first surface characteristic of the surface area when the body part is in a first load state, in particular a state with the muscles relaxed, detecting a second surface characteristic of the surface area when the body part is in a second load state, in particular a state with the muscles tensioned, and determining the local surface deformations resulting between the first load state and the second load state.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a multi-part safety closure for a hot-water bottle. The multi-part safety closure for a hot-water bottle comprises: at least one closure part (4) having an external screw thread (12) for screwing into an internal screw thread of a hot-water bottle and having a first force transmission element (6) for transmitting momentum for screwing the closure part (4) into an internal screw thread of a hot-water bottle (14) for sealing said bottle (14) in a water-tight manner and for unscrewing the closure part (4) from an internal screw thread (17) of a hot-water bottle (14); and a manual actuating element (2) having a second force transmission element (8) for introducing into the closure part (4) the momentum required to screw and unscrew the closure part (4) into and from an internal screw thread (17) of a hot-water bottle (14).

Abstract: The invention relates to a holder means for connecting, more particularly for the defined fastening, of at least one guide-support structure to a living entity. The holder means comprises at least a holder unit and a fastening means for the locally stable arrangement of the holder unit on the living entity, wherein the holder unit is elongated in design and can be arranged in the direction of extension of a body surface line of the living entity to at least in sections overlap the body surface line, wherein the body surface line is such that between two different body load conditions it essentially experiences no change in length.
