A carrying apparatus (1) for rescuing persons, in particular from a space with a small access opening, the carrying apparatus (1) accommodating the persons in an elongated transport position, which comprises a middle part (4) which is substantially curved in cross section and is open at the top, which accommodates at least the head and the trunk of a person to be transported in a supine position.

Description

HPZ12~87 US
Carrying apparatus for rascu3.ag pereoxa.s The ~.nvention relates to a carrying apparatus for rescuing persons, in particular from a space with a small access opening, the carrying apparatus accommodating the persons in an elongated transport p08it10n.
DE 20 2065 003 3x6.3 has already disclosed are apparatus for rescuing persons from space$ with small access openings. Use ~.s made of a transport device which accommodates the person to be rescued, rnrhzch is designed to fix the person accommodated in an elongated transport pos~.tion and Q~ which the external contour is t~atohed to the acvess opening.
From time to tide it is necessary to enter closed spaces or containers such as drying cy7.inders or other container$ such as bailers in a maah~.ne for producing a fibrous web, in particular a paper or board web, for installation,, cvnversien, repair or maintenance purposes, for which purpose one or more persons ha~~re to enter the space or the container through a relative~,y small access opening, for example an oval access opening.
The height and width dimer~s~,ons of such an elliptical opening are laetween 280 and 300 m~, on the ore hand, and between 380 and 400 mnt, on the other hand. For the case in. which a person ~.e injured, or beGOmes unconscious during the work, it is necessary to re$cue this persozz from the container, a further difficulty consist~,r~g in the fact that there axe often. restricted space conditions outside the container as weal, The known apparatus is configured as a closed or partly closed tube, which permits a person who, for example, is injured or unconscious to be fixed in an e7,Qngated, in particular lyi.r~g, transport position, with arms either lying at the sides ox extended upward and then to push the trar~sport device with the person located in it through the access opening.
'fhe object of the invention is to provide a more simply constructed apparatus for xe~cuing persons from a conta~.x~er With a narrow access opening which, in particular, aan also k~e used under restricted space conditions.
According to the invention, in a carry~.~xg apparatus of the type named at the beginning, this object is achieved in that it comprises a middle part which is substantially curved in cross section and is open at the top, which accommodates at least the truz~k and possibly also the head of a person to be rescued, the person being supported ix~ a supine posit~.on.
~0 As a result of the open configuration., the pexeoxi to be rescued does not become elaustrophobac irz the ear~yzng apparatus. The carrying apparatus can be used universally. The person to be rescued is preferably placed in the carrying apparatus Qn the spine, it being po~s~.ble for hands and arms to Ire fixed above the head.
The persoxx is preferably pushed or pulled out of the container with tyke head end in front .
The carrying apparatus preferably has a width of 370 to 39o mm aid a height of ~.4o to 150 mm matched to the size of the opening.
Advantageous developmezi.ts emerge from the subcz~ims, the de~cr~.ption and' the drawir~gs .
Tt is advantageous if the piddle part has a contour which eorrespond$ to the contour of the opening, that is to say is curved in cross section and has a greater 3 _ curvature in the middle then outsa.de. As a result, the carrying appars.tus is also given a stable structure.
Ac~vantageous~.y, at least one, preferably two, retaining straps for fastening the trunk of the person to the middle part axe provided on the middle part.
zz~ order to be able to transport the person firmly strapped on the carryir~g apparatus by means of the la reta~.ning straps, the carrying apparatus is equipped with carrying handles or holding bars wh~.ch are fitted.
or can be fitted in particular at the ends, that is to say as at least one of the two, preferably both, ends, arid/or ~axrying handles or carrying slats present o~
the long sides.
The carrya.ng handles or holding bars can preferab~.y be pulled out from the middle part or from the head end or from the foot end and p~.cked up, or the holding bars are formed as push-in handles. In addition, the carrying apparatus can be held in slotted, preferably reinforced, openings in the middle part or at the foot end or in the head end.
In order to avoid injury to the face of the person to ~e rescued, a face guard is provided, which covers tl~e face c~ a person to be rescued for the purpose of protection against zx~jury during txanaport.
The face g~a~-d is preferably arranged such that it can be adjusted vertically, for example by means of a telescopsc device, with respect to the middle part. If the carrying apparatus is not being used, the face guard is, for example, placed ora the inner wall of the carrying apparatus. However, it is also advantageous ~.f the face guard can be taken off the middle part, If the earry~.xig apparatus a.s not bei~_~xg used, a.n this case the carrying handles and the f~,ae guard cad be stowed, for example, in the hollow formed by the inner wall, by means of fastening deva.ces pxovided ~ar this pt-~.rPose .
In ~ further advantageous refinement of the invention, provision is made for the middle part to have a tapered head end az~d/Qr a tapered foot end, that is to say a head end arid a foot end which each have a eircum~erence and d~.ameter that is reduced with respect to the middle part. Hy means c~f this tapered form at 'the head and foot end, a "streamlined" contour matohed to the contour of the body is achzeved.
In another de~re~.opment, a hand support is ac~~raz~tageously fitted or can be fitted to the middle part arid is~ used to fix the arms of the person ly~.ng ors the carrying apparatus in an extended position above the head.
0 The haxid support is advantageously designed in one piece with the face guard, preferably in the shape of a 2, and can be adjusted vertieal7.y and removed jointly.
0~ course, however, ~.t a.s also poss~.ble to fix the acme beside the trunk of the person if the space within. the middle part permits this.
In a further refinement of the invention, the hand support can advantageously be pulled out of the middle part if, for e~tample, it is arrar~ged st the head er~,d of the middle part. Likewise, the hand support oan also be arranged to be removable from the ma.ddle part.
It is likewise advantageous if at least one reta~.xa,~.xig strap is fitted to the hand support, in order to use this to fix the hands of the person to be transported, to the hand support.

xn a further refinement of the xr~ventsvn, a fioot support for supporting the feet and, if appropxa.afie, also the lower legs is fitted to the m~.ddle part or can be fitted to the latter if the middle p~,xt does not have a suf f icient length to accommodate persons with a greater body length as well. However, if a foot support is used, the length of the middle part may be restric~eol to about x.200 mm to 1500 mm, which means that a minimum longitudinal extend. is achieved. Once the hara.ds and arms of the transported person are outside the container, then these can advantageously or else of necessity be pivoted rearward during the further withdrawal of the person and laid on the body.
The foat support can also b~ pulled out andjor pivoted out of the middle part, ~.n particular in the horizontal and/or vertical direction; likewise, it is possible to provide for the foot part t.o be revved from the middle part. When the carrying apparatus is not being used, the foot support is preferably pushed into the middle part. It remains automatically in this position by means of a spx-~.ng-loaded fast~eri.ing.
A retaa.nzng strap is advantageously fitted t~o the foot support as well in order to fix the feet of the person to be rescued.
Try the hallowing te~ct, the invention wiZ~. be explained in more detail in an exemplary ernbodimer~t, wing the drawings, in which:
