Definitions

  • Object of the present invention is a wheeled stretcher with the particular feature of enabling the easy transfer of patients from bed to stretcher and/or vice versa.
  • Principal object of the invention is to realise a structured means for the transfer of patients who should not be raised from the bed by normal means, to a means of transport and/or vice versa by one operator alone, who is required to perform only simple manoeuvres.
  • the present invention reaches the above aims by means of a piece of equipment which is both simple and safe to use.
  • fig. 1 denotes a frame (1) mounted on wheels (2).
  • the wheels are four in number and are mounted to the rectangular base of the frame (1) by means of supports rotatabl e around vertical axes which permit said wheels to be oriented in any direction.
  • one of the pairs of wheels (2), arranged on one side of the frame (1) is mounted by means of rotatable supports to a horizontal structural element (3) which is movably fired to the frame (1) by means of two parallel horizontal arms (4) axially slidably coupled to said base.
  • variable-configuration element (14) On the upper structure (6) straight horizontal guides (10) are arranged parallel to the direction of movement of the horizontal structural element (3), on which the central segment (12) of a variable-configuration element (14) is slidably coupled.
  • Said variable-configuration element (14) comprises, hinged to the opposing ends of its central segment (12), two other segments (11) and (13).
  • Segments (11), (12) and (13) are hinged consecutively one to the other around axes parallel to the sliding direction of segment (12) along the straight guided (10) and are reciprocally articulated in such a way as to be positionable in a plurality of seating-type configurations, in each of which the central segment (12) remains horizontal while segment (11), assuming the function of backrest, and segment (13), assuming the function of legrest, can be variously inclined with respect to the horizontal, as well as in a horizontal configuration in which said segments together become a single horizontal plane and thus constitute a true and proper slim-thickness stretcher.
  • Positioning from the horizontal state to any inclined position and vice versa of the backrest segment (11) is performed hydraulically by means of a master cylinder (15) whose base is fixed to the central segment (12) and whose stem is hinged to the bottom surface of the backrest segment (11).
  • the backrest segment (11) is equipped with an adjustable headrest (16) and is further fixed to the central segment (12) by means of two hinged parallelograms, of which bars (17) and (18) form part. Said parallelograms are arranged in such a way that, in the horizontal configuration, the two bars (17) and (18), having the function of armrests in the wheelchair configuration, flatten horizontally by the side of segments (11) and (12) and do not protrude above the flat stretcher surface formed by them.
  • legrest segment (13) can be separated longitudinally into two parts, one for each leg, each part being fixable in the desired position with respect to the central segment (12) by means of a rod (19), hinged to one end of said central segment (12), which can be fixed to one of the two parts of segment (13) by means of a fixing set (20).
  • Each of the two parts of the legrest segment (13) has at its extremity an adjustable footrest (21).
  • All of the master cylinders (5), (7) and (15) are part of a hydraulic circuit fed by a pump (23) which in the illustrated embodiment is easily activated by hand by the operator in order to perform the necessary manoeuvres.
  • a mechanical or hydraulic linkage may be mounted (not represented in the illustrations) through which movements out of and into the normal position of said structural element (3) happen in accordance and simultaneously with the sideways sliding of the central segment (12) and thus of the entire element (14) on the straight horizontal guides (10). This can be particularly useful in the case of the configuration illustrated in fig. 4 where element (14), positioned horizontally, is slid into a potentially overbalancing position with regard to the upper structure (6).
  • the patient can be transferred on to the element (14), in the stretcher configuration, by gently turning him or her in the direction indicated by the arrow (26).
  • the operation can easily be performed by one operator alone.
  • the element (4) is rather thin so that it will not cause an obstacle during the moving of the patient from the bed on to the stretcher.
  • the stretcher can be kept immobile during the operation by means of the usual braking devices on the rotatably mounted wheels (2).
  • said element (14) can be slid back into the central position along the guides (10). Also, the element (3) having the wheels mounted to it is brought back into its original position so that the entire structure, in its horizontal configuration, can be used as a wheeled stretcher. By producing the desired inclination of segments (11) and (13), the entire element (14) can be changed into a wheelchair configuration which enables the structure to be used as such.
  • the patient can be transferred from stretcher to bed.
