Description

Wear Cradle

The present invention relates to a

Carrying device according to the preamble of claim 1 for receiving a stretcher resp. Stretcher and a building on this support receiving device Mehrtragenaufnahmevorrichtung for simultaneous storage of multiple wear resp. Stretchers. The proposed carrying device can be installed in a variety of means of transport, especially in rescue and emergency vehicles, aircraft and ships for civilian as well as military applications.

The loading of transport vehicles with sick or injured persons, which are on simple carried by help stretcher (eg stretcher for civil and disaster control according to the standard DIN 13024 or wearing military medical services according to the standard STANAG 2040, which are used by NATO) are , is very tedious, exhausting and cumbersome and therefore usually a pretty time-consuming affair. The lifting and placing a stretcher in the transport vehicle is particularly exhausting for the helper and unpleasant as well as high risk for a patient lying on the stretcher, if the stretcher is handled by only two people and especially if the patient is heavy and / or the loading area in the Transport vehicle is at person height or above. Such conditions are often present at disaster and War missions, where also usually more injured must be accommodated in a transport vehicle. This is usually done by several carriers are arranged one above the other in the vehicle, which further complicates the loading, since now come to lie in even greater height in the vehicle.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide an easy-to-use carrying device, which allows a possible effortless, safe and fast loading and unloading and secure transport simple stretcher in means of transport of various kinds and design. This object is to be solved by the invention particularly advantageous when the cargo area to be loaded

Transport vehicle at or above person height. In this case, the loading process as possible of only two, which can be performed to be loaded stretcher wearing helpers.

To solve this problem underlying the invention, the invention proposes a mounted in a means of transport resp. mountable carrying device, which comprises a frame with side rails and transversely arranged cross members and a support storage platform, which is suitable for the storage of a stretcher includes. In this case, the support storage platform on a carriage and a stretcher support, wherein the carriage and the stretcher support by means of a tilting joint with each other are connected. In this case, the carriage can be moved in the longitudinal direction along the frame between a transport position and a loading position, wherein the stretcher can be swung down into the loading position. In the transport position the stretcher is horizontal and is located largely within the frame. In the loading position, the stretcher is largely outside the frame and is tilted down or. inclined. On the stretcher also a carriage is arranged, which can be moved in the longitudinal direction along the stretcher support between a transport position and a loading position. In the transport position, the carriage is at the top, the carriage close to the end of the stretcher and in the loading position, the carriage is located at the bottom, the carriage far end of the stretcher. Furthermore, the carriage on at least one depression, which respectively for the Hineinstellen. Receiving a support support element (eg a "foot" of the stretcher) is suitable.

The invention proves to be advantageous because the heruntergekippte end of the stretcher at a height - preferably at waist level of the helpers who hold the stretcher - comes to rest, on which one end of the load to be loaded without additional effort of the helper on the in Loading position standing carriage can be placed. In addition, from this position, the helpers with massive effort the sled along with it hinged stretcher push up the support receptacle, swing the stretcher support by lifting in a horizontal position and then bring into the vehicle interior by the carriage is pushed in the direction of transport position.

The insertion of the carriage in the direction of transport position can be carried out particularly easily when the carriage in guide rails, which are arranged on the longitudinal members of the frame, respectively. are integrated into the side members, is guided.

In order to prevent the carriage including its hinged stretcher from moving downwards along the stretcher during pushing up when the pushing or holding force is decreasing or when releasing the helpers, the stretcher has one or more retracting resp. retractable, protruding from the support holder locking elements. In addition, a Gegenarretierelement attached to the carriage, which with each of the

Carrier recording outstanding locking elements can be brought into abutment, so that the carriage in an inclined position festhaltbar resp. lockable. The locking elements can, for example, retracted together by actuation of a trigger mechanism. be folded, for example, to allow the intentional shutdown of the carriage in the loading position for loading or unloading. The sliding of the carriage can be carried out particularly easily when the carriage is guided in rails on the stretcher, said rails arranged on the Trägeraufnähme resp. integrated into the stretcher.

In an alternative embodiment, the carriage can be guided by at least one tensioned guide wire on the stretcher, said guidewire is attached to the upper and lower end of the stretcher.

In order to ensure a safe and reliable recording of the one end of the stretcher when placed on the carriage while it is in the loading position, the carriage, for example, on its opposite side of the carriage, a transverse support on. This is hinged down so that it can be folded down when inserting the stretcher into the vehicle, to prevent that during transport when strikes in the vertical direction, an edge of the transverse support possibly the patient lying on the stretcher injury - especially in the spine - inflicts.

For example, the support storage platform has a plurality of detention respectively. Clamping means for releasably holding resp. Clamping a stretcher in the transport position, to ensure a stable securing of the stretcher and the patient lying thereon on the stretcher storage platform for loading and unloading as well as during transport.

The insertion of the support storage platform into

Vehicle interior can be carried out particularly simply if the carrying receptacle is supported by support means, e.g. is supported in the form of support rollers, which are arranged on a cross member, which is in the region opposite to that end of the frame, where the carriage is in the transport position. In addition, these support means support the lateral storage of the stretcher, in particular in a crooked resp. Transverse position of the transport vehicle.

A further object of the invention is to provide an easily mountable, stable and modular carrying device, which is also designed expandable to accommodate several carriers in the form of a Mehrtragenaufnahmevorrichtung.

The latter should still allow easy handling and efficient, effortless, safe and time-saving loading and storage of the several stretcher, especially when the back of the transport vehicle to be loaded is at person height or above.

A particularly simple assembly resp. Attachment of the carrying device is carried out in a means of transport by means of a suspension, which is releasably anchored to a ceiling of the means of transport and having vertically arranged suspension rods. The advantages of such an assembly resp. Fastening opposite one where the carrying receptacle is anchored to the ground are manifold. Thus, the space available in the vehicle is made the best possible use of a hanging suspension device by using the mostly unused upper area of the vehicle interior, which is achieved by the invention

Carrying device is only possible because it allows the simple introduction of carrying to greater heights. In addition, the floor area is kept free for other purposes by the ceiling-anchored attachment. Especially in military applications, e.g. in mine safe

Transport vehicles, a floor-anchored attachment is preferable to a ground-based, as the force of a mine explosion is transmitted directly to the carrier device via a ground-based attachment.

In order to achieve a higher stability of the attachment of the carrying device in the transport means, the carrier receiving device can be additionally anchored releasably by means of a lateral support on a wall of the means of transport.

In order to be able to transport several carriers at the same time in a means of transport, and for an easy handling as well as an efficient, effortless, safe and To ensure time-saving loading and storage, a Mehrtragenaufnahmevorrichtung is proposed with at least two stacked inventive carrying device, wherein the carrying device by means of eckständigen, with

Swivel provided forks are connected to each other such that the respective upper carrying device can be lowered approximately parallel to the lower carrying device from a higher, horizontal transport position to a lower, horizontal or inclined loading position. The advantage of this multi-carrier device is that a higher-level carrying device for loading can be brought to almost the same height as the lowermost carrier device, and thus all the advantages of the carrier device for receiving a single carrier can be fully transferred to the multi-carrier device.

In order to ensure high stability of the multi-carrier device, locking means for locking the forks in the transport position are provided, for example, on the suspension rods.

To a controlled and energy-saving down resp. Leading each upper carrying device of the higher transport position in the lower loading position resp. to reach the other way round, For example, spring units, for example in the form of gas pressure spring units, are provided, which tension the upper carrying device in the transport position.

To provide a stable guidance during movements of the upper

For example, lateral guide means are provided with the upper carrying device and / or the at least one fork connected to this upper carrying device being movably connected to the lateral guide means, and the lateral guide means are connected to one Part of the transport are releasably anchored.

Since for certain applications, such as e.g. when used in aircraft, a realization of

Carrying device resp. of the

Mehrtragenaufnahmevorrichtung with the aforementioned properties is particularly important at very low weight, there is another

Object of the invention therein, construction elements and

Specify materials that a stable execution of the

Carrying device resp. allow the Mehrtragenaufnahmevorrichtung at very low weight. To this end, the stretcher is realized, for example, in the form of a skeleton executed in rib construction, with side member profiles, which by

Cross-connection profiles are connected to each other, wherein a cover plate is mounted on the upper side of the scaffold, and a jacket plate surrounds the framework below and laterally. Such a construction has a very high stability with low weight.

Next, the stability of the frame can be significantly improved by the frame is braced by means of one or more tensions.

A particularly easy realization of the carrying resp. Mehrtragenaufnahmevorrichtung is achieved if it consists of light metal or aluminum alloys.

An alternative likewise very easy realization of the carrying resp. Multi-carrier device is achieved if these are made of fiber composite materials, e.g. made of carbon or glass fiber reinforced thermoplastics.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying figures.

A second collar receiving device of Figure 1 in a fully extended condition, i. in loading position (a) the lower and (b) the upper

Stretcher mounting platform. In Figure 1, an embodiment of a mounted in a vehicle (1) resp. built according to the invention second rack receiving device with a lower carrying device (2) and an upper carrying device (2 '), each one

Have support storage platform (3, 3 '). The figure shows the two carrying device (2, 2 ') in the transport position, ie the position where the support storage platforms (3, 3 ¹ ) are in the fully retracted state in the vehicle interior.

The two carrying receiving devices (2, 2 ') resp. their frames (5, 5 ') are connected to each other by means of four laterally arranged, with swivel joints (11) provided forks (10, 10') and spaced therefrom in height so that enough space between the lower and the upper carrying device (2 , 2 ') is present to store a patient on a stretcher, which is fixed on the lower support storage platform (3) by means of several holding or resp. Clamping means (26).

The frame (5) of the lower stretcher-receiving device (2) is fastened in the vehicle (1) by means of two suspensions (12), the suspensions (12) being detachably anchored to the ceiling of the vehicle (1) and two vertically arranged suspension rods (4). having. The upper carrying device (2 '), however, is only indirectly via the two front forks (10) connected to the two suspension rods (4) when these forks (10) with the suspension rods (4) are locked (see Fig. 2a). The frame (5) of the lower carrying device (2) is additionally securely connected to the vehicle (1) by means of the two lower lateral holders (13), which are detachably anchored to the vehicle wall

(see Fig. 2b). The upper carrying device (2 ') is in turn only indirectly via the two rear-side forks (10') connected to the two upper side brackets (13 ') when these forks (10') with the brackets (13 ') are locked (see see Fig. 2b).

The views in Figures 2a and 2b illustrate the structure of the frame (5, 5 ') of the two support receiving devices (2, 2') of Figure 1. In addition, the two figures 2a and 2b, the previously explained arrangement of the elements of the suspension respectively. Holder (4, 12, 13, 13 ') and the arrangement of the forks (10, 10') for connecting the two support receiving devices (2, 2 ') clearly refer to the better overview in both figures without vehicle (1) and without Carrier storage platform (3, 3 ') shown.

The frame (5) of the lower carrying device (2) consists of two longitudinal beams (6) and four cross beams {! _, 7_ ', 2'') r wherein the one terminal cross member (7_ ^f ) forms a conclusion and the other terminal Cross member (7 ^ ') is designed as an axis, on which support means in the form of support rollers (8) are. The stability of the frame is additionally increased by a tension (9), which is stretched diagonally between the two main cross members (2). This tension can be performed for example in the form of a wire rope. The frame (5 ¹ ) of the upper

Carrying device (2 ') is largely the same structure as the lower frame (5), with only one main cross member (7) is used, but two tensions (9) are used, which are diagonally crossed over.

The longitudinal members (6) of the two frames (5, 5 ') have a C-profile, this C-profile as bills for the carriage (16) of the support storage platform (3, 3') is used. On the carriage (16) wheels (27) are arranged laterally, which are received and guided by the C-profiles. Thus, the carriage (16) can be moved longitudinally along the frame between a transport position, where the carriages (16) at the frame ends with the statements (7 /, 7 ') are located, and a loading position, where the carriages (16 ) are located on the opposite, with the cross members {] _ '', 7 '') designed as axles.

In these two positions and possibly also in other intermediate positions, the carriages (16) by means of latching means (28), which are arranged on both sides of the carriage (16), held in position. The latching means (28) are outwards biased. Along the longitudinal members (6) (eg at intervals of 10 to 50 cm to each other) holes (32) are arranged in the C-profiles, which serve as guide rails. As soon as the latching means (28) engage in a perforation (32), they lock in this perforation (32) and thus prevent the carriage (16) from moving on. This serves as a safety mechanism, for example, when the transport vehicle is obliquely inclined behind in the field, so that the support storage platforms (3, 3 ') can not move by itself along the entire guide rail but in the positions where there are holes (32) engage and come to a standstill. The latching means (28) can be retracted by active actuation of a control element (30), which is arranged for example at the lower end of the stretcher holder (17), so that the latching means (28) can not engage in the perforations (32) and thus the Carriage (16) along the guide rail is freely movable. As soon as the operating element (30) is released, for example, or is no longer pressed by the helper, the latching means (28) are pressed outwards and can thus latch into the perforations (32).

To the upper stretcher receiver device ^(2?) To be able to load or unload, it must be brought down to about the same height as the lower stretcher receiver device (2) first. This is achieved by providing the forks (10, 10 ') provided with swivel joints (11) in the direction of the vehicle opening (ie to the right according to FIGS Views in Figures 1 & 2a, resp. to the left according to the view in Figure 2b) rotated resp. be tilted, thereby the upper frame ^(5?) is brought down parallel to the lower frame (5) about and slightly above the lower frame (5) and then to this offset laterally (to right in accordance with the views in Figures 1 & 2 ) comes to rest. To stabilize the movement, the one rear fork (10 ', namely the left according to the views in Figures 1 & 2a) is guided by an arcuate guide means (14) fixed to the side wall of the vehicle (1).

The upper carrying device (2 ') resp. whose frame (5 ') is stretched by two gas pressure spring units (15) in the transport position, ie upwards. This supports, in particular, a controlled lowering and, in part, also a power-saving bringing up of the upper carrying device (2 ¹ ). For safety reasons, the gas pressure spring assemblies (15) can be configured blockable, so that they can only be unblocked by active operation of a control element (31), which, for example, similar to a bicycle brake lever and arranged in the middle of the front, upper side member (6) , If, for example, the operating lever or handle (31) is released by the helper, the tilting process is arrested in the current position of the carrying storage platform (3 '). In this way it can be prevented that in case of incorrect manipulation the carrying storage platform (3 ') unintentionally moves out and this may cause the patient to fall off the stretcher.

From Figure 3, the exact structure (a) of the lower and (b) the upper support storage platform (3, 3 ') of the two support receiving devices (2, 2') are taken from Figure 1.

The carriage (16) in Figure 3a is connected by means of a tilting joint (18) with the stretcher receptacle (17). This tilting joint (18) makes it possible that the stretcher holder (17) when leaving the frame (5, 5 ') can be tilted downwards. On the stretcher (17) a carriage (19) is arranged, which in the longitudinal direction along the support receptacle (17) between a

Transport position (right according to the views in Figures 3a & 3b) and a loading position (left according to the views in Figures 3a & 3b). The carriage (19) is guided, for example, by rails, which are arranged, respectively, on the carrier mount (17). are integrated into these. Alternatively, the guide can also take place along one or more guide wires, which extend along the carrier receptacle (17).

To prevent when pushing up the loaded

Carriage, this can move back down (ie towards the loading position), along the center of the stretcher support (17) locking elements (22) are arranged. These eg wedge-shaped elements are in resp. at the stretcher holder (17) retract resp. mounted foldable and under spring tension that they are pressed out of the support holder (17) and thus protrude from this. The wedge tips are oriented downwards, so that a counter-locking element arranged on the slide, for example in the form of a simple crosspiece, when driving over the wedges from below to above pushes them into the carrying holder (17) and thus can pass through. On the other hand, the carriage moves downwards to such a wedge-shaped one

Element on, the upward-facing blunt wedge end acts as a stop and prevents further down. The locking elements (22) can be retracted together by means of a trigger mechanism resp. be folded to release the way down for the carriage. The operation of the triggering mechanism is done manually via e.g. at the lower end of the support holder (17) laterally offset control element (29). As soon as the operating element (29) is no longer actively actuated, e.g. released by the helper or is no longer pressed, the locking elements (22) are pushed out of the stretcher support (17) again.

The carriage further comprises two, for example pan-shaped recesses (20) which are large enough to accommodate at least one support support element (eg a "foot" of a stretcher) and thus to connect the stretcher with the carriage (19). Furthermore, the carriage (19) also has a cross attachment (21), which is designed, for example, as a crosspiece, which, after placement of the stretcher on a placement surface (34) of the carriage (19), is intended to prevent the stretcher from moving off the carriage (19) can slip away down. These

Transverse support (21) is mounted hinged down and is folded down either automatically or manually as soon as the carriage (19) reaches the transport position to exclude possible injuries to the patient lying on the support by the transverse support (21) during transport.

Next are at the top and bottom depending on both sides of the support holder (17) four Festhalte- resp. Clamping means (26) attached, which ensure that the stretcher is well fixed on the stretcher support (17) during transport. The two detention resp. Clamping means (26) at the top, the carriage (16) near the end of the stretcher receptacle (17) are firmly connected to the stretcher support (17), so that the upper end of the stretcher under these two detention resp. Clamping means (26) is inserted and thus clamped by them and held when the carriage enters the transport position.

In order to achieve a stable structure with a low structural weight, the support holder (17) is realized in the form of a skeleton executed in rib construction. This framework comprises two side rail profiles (23), which by several perforated cross-connection profiles (24) with each other are connected. A cover plate (25) is mounted on the upper side of the framework, and a jacket plate (25 ') surrounds the framework laterally and on the underside including the edge regions of the upper side. Preferably, the cover plate (25) is releasably screwed and the jacket plate (25 ') firmly riveted to the framework. The cover plate (25) is preferably "dimpled", ie it has deep-drawn depressions which fit into corresponding countersinks in the side rail profiles (23) into which countersunk screws are then screwed in for fastening the cover plate (25) to the framework gives the structure of the stretcher support (17) an additional rigidity and a high stability Preferably, the whole stretcher receiving device (2, 2 ') consists of light metal, in particular of aluminum alloys.

This makes it possible to realize a second collar receiving device according to the embodiment shown in the figures, with a total weight of less than 100 kg. Thus, for example, have the lower and upper support storage platform (3, 3 ') according to Figures 3 a & b each have a weight of about 21 kg and the remaining parts of the second collar receiving device without the two support storage platforms (3, 3'), ie those parts , which in the figures 3a respectively. 3b, a weight of about 40 kg. FIG. 4a shows the lower carrier receiving device (2) of the second collar receiving device in the fully extended state of the carrying storage platform (3), ie in the loading position. In this case, the support storage platform (3) by a at the rear of the transport vehicle rotatably mounted support arm (33) is held in a predetermined inclination angle. The support arm (33) has at its end a pin, which is insertable into a corresponding receptacle on the underside of the stretcher receptacle (17). The angle of inclination of the supported

Carrier (17) can be determined by the length of the support arm (33) and the position of the receptacle along the stretcher receptacle (17).

To support the upper support storage platform (3 ¹ ), as can be seen from FIG. 4 b, the support arm (33) is extended by opening a partial arm, which is attached to the end of the support arm (33) such that it can be folded. At the end of this part of the arm is another pin, which in turn can be inserted into a corresponding receptacle on the underside of the support holder (17).

With the help of Figure 4b will now be explained how in the second collar receiving device, the upper carrying device (2 ') can be loaded.

At the beginning, the carrying device (2 ¹ ) is in fully retracted state within the Transport vehicle (1). First, the upper stretcher-receiving device (2 ') is brought down by being pulled toward the vehicle opening. For this purpose, the operating element (31), which is in operative connection with the spring assemblies (15), must be actuated, so that the blocking of the spring assemblies (15) is canceled, and the forks (10) can be tilted. Now the forks (10, 10 ') are brought from the vertical in a misalignment. Depending on the construction, in this case the carrying device (2 ^? ) Will either remain in a horizontal position or slightly inclined downwards towards the vehicle opening. The height of the parallelogram resp. of the quadrangle, which is spanned in the side view of Figure 4b by the upper and lower side member (23) and the left and right fork (10), continues to decrease when pulled out. Then the support storage platform (3 ¹ ) is pulled out through the vehicle opening from the transport vehicle (1) and brought into the loading position.

In the transport position and during the movement of the support storage platform (3 ') along the frame (5') in the loading position (ie from left to right according to the views in Figures 1 & 2a), the stretcher support (17) by support rollers (8). which are on the loading side

Cross member (7 ^{1 1} ) are arranged, supported. As soon as the carriage (16) comes close to the loading-side cross member (7 ^{1 1} ), the support holder (17) is tilted down by the helpers. To support the Carrying support platform (3 ') is then the part of the arm at the rear of the vehicle rotatably mounted support arm (33) opened and introduced the pin at the end of the partial arm in the receptacle on the underside of the stretcher support (17). Thereafter, the carriage (19) is brought from the transport position to the loading position, preferably at waist height of the helpers who hold the stretcher to be loaded, down. For this purpose, the locking elements (22) retracted by actuation of the trigger mechanism by means of the operating element (29) resp. be folded.

For loading at least one of the

Carrying support elements placed near the end of the load to be loaded on the shelf (34) of the carriage (19) and then placed in the pan-shaped recess (20) in the carriage (19) so as to connect the stretcher with the stretcher receptacle (17). The cross support (21) ensures that the stretcher does not slip away from the carriage. Thereafter, that helper who has placed his end of the stretcher on the carriage (17), the

Release the stretcher and assist the second helper in pushing up the sled with a suspended stretcher. When the carriage (19) has arrived in the transport position, the stretcher support (17) is lifted by the helpers and pushed into the vehicle. When retracting the

Carrier storage platform (3 ^? ) In the transport position, the transverse support (21) is then folded down. As soon as the guide carriage (16) has arrived in the transport position, the upper carrying device (2 ^! ) Is replaced again - 2 A -

brought up, and the forks (10) are locked with the suspension rods (4), so that the carrier receiving device (2 ') is secured during transport.
