Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Transport von Patienten nach dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a device for transporting patients according to the preamble of claim 1.

Eine Vorrichtung dieser Art ist Gegenstand der FR-A-2 271 805. Diese bekannte Vorrichtung bietet im Falle von Beinverletzungen und insbesondere im Falle von Oberschenkelverletzungen beider Beine dem Patienten keine ausreichend sichere Lagerung und Stabilisierung im Zwischenbeinbereich.A device of this type is the subject of FR-A-2 271 805. This known device does not provide the patient with sufficiently secure positioning and stabilization in the inter-leg area in the case of leg injuries and in particular in the case of thigh injuries to both legs.

Die US-A-4 910 818 offenbart ein an der Krankentrage lösbar anbringbares, im wesentlichen T-förmiges Kissen. Dieses Kissen hält mit einem lösbar an der Oberfläche der Krankentrage befestigten waagrechten T-Balken, an dem ggf. zu beiden Seiten des senkrecht von der Oberfläche der Krankentrage aufragenden T-Balkens je eine im wesentlichen dreieckförmige Erhöhung ausgebildet sein kann, die Knie des Patienten in gebeugter Lage und hält mit einem senkrechten T-Balken die Knie des Patienten voneinander getrennt. Abgesehen davon, daß insbesondere bei schwereren Verletzungen, ein Anheben der Knie des Patienten nicht immer angebracht ist, besteht bei dieser vorbekannten Anordnung auch immer die Gefahr, daß das rechtzeitige Anbringen des Fußkissens vergessen wird, so daß dieses Fußkissen dem Patienten nachträglich untergeschoben werden muß, was ihm in aller Regel unnötige Schmerzen bereitet.US-A-4 910 818 discloses a substantially T-shaped pillow releasably attachable to the stretcher. This pillow holds the patient's knees with a horizontal T-bar detachably attached to the surface of the stretcher, on which an essentially triangular elevation can be formed on either side of the T-bar rising vertically from the surface of the stretcher bent position and keeps the patient's knees apart with a vertical T-bar. In addition to the fact that lifting the knees of the patient is not always appropriate, particularly in the case of serious injuries, there is always the danger in this known arrangement that the timely attachment of the foot cushion is forgotten, so that this foot cushion must be pushed under the patient afterwards, which usually causes him unnecessary pain.

Schließlich zeigt die Druckschrift "Kunststoffverarbeitung, Prospekt der Firma B. und W. Schmidt G.m.b.H. u.a. noch Vakuummatratzen zur Ganzlagerung des Körpers, bei welcher sich nach der Evakuierung der Matratze auch im Beinbereich des Patienten eine seinen Körperformen angepaßte stabilisierende Modelliermasse ansammeln kann. Auch diese Anordnung erscheint nicht geeignet, den Patienten von Anfang an in optimal schonender Weise in der richtigen Lage zu fixieren.Finally, the publication "Kunststoffverarbeitung, Brochure from B. and W. Schmidt GmbH shows, among other things, vacuum mattresses for the entire positioning of the body, in which, after the mattress has been evacuated, a stabilizing modeling compound adapted to the shape of the body can also accumulate in the patient's leg area. This arrangement too does not seem suitable to fix the patient in the right position in an optimally gentle manner from the start.

Es ist die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, die bekannten Vorrichtungen zum Transport von Patienten in der Weise weiter zu bilden, daß die Gliedmaßen des Patienten, insbesondere seine Beine, während des Transportes ruhig gelagert werden und schmerzhafte Bewegungen dieser Gliedmaßen von Anfang an soweit wie möglich vermieden werden.It is the object of the present invention to further develop the known devices for transporting patients in such a way that the limbs of the patient, in particular his legs, are kept still during transport and painful movements of these limbs are avoided as far as possible from the start will.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine zum Transport von Patienten vorgesehene Auflage 1, die aus einem flexiblen, vorzugsweise eigensteifen, Material besteht und im dargestellten Falle als Polster ausgebildet ist. Im Bereich der Längsmittelebene L-L' erstreckt sich vom kopfseitig belegenen Rand 2 über etwas mehr als 2/3 der Gesamtlänge der Auflage 1 ein Reißverschluß 3, dessen mit je einer Krampenreihe versehene Bänder 4 und 5 in einem Längsspalt 6 des Polsters an dessen einander zugekehrten Seitenwandungen 7 und 8 etwa auf halber Höhe des Polsters befestigt sind. Der Reißverschluß enthält einen Reißverschlußschieber 9 zum Öffnen und Schließen desselben, an dem das freie Ende 10 eines Zugbandes 11 befestigt ist, dessen entgegengesetzter Endbereich 12 durch einen Führungskanal 13 hindurchgesteckt ist. Der Führungskanal 13 fluchtet mit dem Längsspalt 6 und führt bis zum Fußende 14 der Matratze, wo das freie Ende 15 des Zugbandes 11 aus dieser austritt. Durch Ziehen des Zugbands in Richtung des Pfeiles A läßt sich der Reißverschluß 3 öffnen. Zum Schutz des Reißverschlusses 3 vor Fremdkörpereinflüssen, die seine Funktion behindern könnten, ist auf der Ober- und der Unterseite der Matratze je eine Schutzabdeckung 16, 17 angebracht, die an einer Seite des Längsspaltes 6 an der Matratze befestigt ist. Durch Anbringen eines weiteren, in der Zeichnung nicht gezeigten, Zugbandes, das in Richtung der Kopfseite 2 der Auflage 1 wirkt, und gegebenenfalls entsprechende Führungsmittel, läßt sich ein Wiederverschließen des Reißverschlusses erreichen, auch wenn die Matratze auf einer Unterlage aufgesetzt und mit einem Patienten belegt ist. Durch Verbinden der beiden Enden dieser Zugbänder läßt sich eine ebenfalls in der Zeichnung nicht gezeigte, geschlossene Zugbandschleife herstellen, die zweckmäßigerweise in entsprechenden Führungskanälen führbar ist und beispielsweise im Bereich des seitlichen Rands der Auflage 1 über diesen zu Betätigungszwecken vorsteht.Fig. 1 shows a support 1 intended for the transport of patients, which consists of a flexible, preferably inherently rigid, material and in the case shown is designed as a cushion. In the area of the longitudinal center plane LL ', a zipper 3 extends from the edge 2, which is occupied on the head side, over a little more than 2/3 of the total length of the support 1, the bands 4 and 5 of which, each provided with a row of staples, in a longitudinal gap 6 of the cushion on its side walls facing one another 7 and 8 are attached approximately halfway up the cushion. The zipper contains a zipper slide 9 for opening and closing the same, to which the free end 10 of a drawstring 11 is fastened, the opposite end region 12 of which is inserted through a guide channel 13. The guide channel 13 is aligned with the longitudinal gap 6 and leads to the foot end 14 of the mattress, where the free end 15 of the tension band 11 exits from it. The zipper 3 can be opened by pulling the drawstring in the direction of arrow A. To protect the zipper 3 from foreign body influences, which could hinder its function, a protective cover 16, 17 is attached to the top and bottom of the mattress, which is attached to one side of the longitudinal gap 6 on the mattress. By attaching another, not shown in the drawing, pulling tape, which acts in the direction of the head side 2 of the support 1, and possibly appropriate guide means, the zipper can be reclosed even if the mattress is placed on a base and occupied by a patient is. By connecting the two ends of these drawstrings, a closed drawstring loop, which is also not shown in the drawing, can be produced, which can expediently be guided in corresponding guide channels and, for example, in the area of the lateral edge of the support 1 protrudes above it for actuation purposes.

Fig. 5 zeigt eine weitere Ausführungsform der in Fig. 1 gezeigten Auflage 1 zum Transport von Patienten, bei der übereinstimmende Teile mit gleichen Bezugszeichen belegt sind und bei der das Kopfende der Auflage, im Gegensatz zur Darstellung von Fig. 1, als linksliegend dargestellt ist. Anstelle des Reißverschlusses 3 bei der in Fig. 1 gezeigten Ausführungsform ist hier ein Klettbandverschluß 20 vorgesehen, der im wesentlichen dem gleichen Zwecke dient. Der Klettbandverschluß 20 besteht aus zwei Bändern 21, 22 eines auf der Oberfläche mit Häkchen versehenen Materials, das mit nach unten weisenden Häkchen an der Unterseite der Auflage 1 derart befestigt ist, daß die freien, einander zugekehrten Ränder in den Längsspalt 6 hineinragen und benachbart zueinander zu liegen kommen. Ein auf seiner Oberfläche mit Schlingen versehenes Band 23 ist auf die Unterseite der Bänder 21 und 22 derart aufgebracht, daß die Häkchen und Schlingen in bekannter Weise ineinandergreifen und den Klettverschluß bilden. Das Band 23 weist eine derartige Breite auf, daß es die Bänder 21 und 22 sowie den dazwischen verbleibenden Bereich abdeckt. An dem kopfseitig belegenen Ende des Bandes 23 ist das freie Ende 10 des Zugbandes 11 befestigt, so daß mit Hilfe des Zugbandes 11 der Klettverschluß 20 aufgerissen werden kann.FIG. 5 shows a further embodiment of the support 1 shown in FIG. 1 for the transport of patients, in which matching parts have the same reference numerals and in which the head end of the support, in contrast to the illustration in FIG. 1, is shown as lying on the left . Instead of the zipper 3 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a Velcro fastener 20 is provided here, which serves essentially the same purpose. The Velcro fastener 20 consists of two tapes 21, 22 of a material provided with hooks on the surface, which is attached with downward-facing hooks on the underside of the support 1 such that the free, mutually facing edges protrude into the longitudinal gap 6 and adjacent to each other come to rest. A band 23 provided with loops on its surface is applied to the underside of the bands 21 and 22 in such a way that the hooks and loops interlock in a known manner and form the Velcro fastener. The band 23 has a width such that it covers the bands 21 and 22 and the area remaining between them. The free end 10 of the tension band 11 is fastened to the end of the band 23 which is occupied at the head side, so that the Velcro fastener 20 can be torn open with the help of the tension band 11.

Die Fig. 8 und 9 zeigen ebenfalls eine Verbindung der seitlich zu dem Längsspalt 6 belegenen Bereiche der Auflage 1 mittels Klettverschlüssen, wobei in beiden Fällen der Längsspalt 6 geneigt zur Auflagenoberfläche verläuft, was insbesondere bei einer Füllung der Auflage mit Schaumstoffkörnern auch über längere Zeit eine Formstabilität der Auflage in ihrem Mittelbereich sicherstellt und einem versehentlichen Durchsacken eines besonders schweren Patienten entgegenwirkt. Während im Falle der Fig. 8 der Klettbandverschluß von einem mit Häkchen versehenen Band 21 und einem mit Schlingen versehenen Band 23 gebildet ist, die auf den einander gegenüberliegenden Stirnflächen des Spalts 6 angeordnet sind, entspricht der Klettverschluß 20 bei der Ausgestaltung von Fig. 9 derjenigen von Fig. 6.8 and 9 also show a connection of the areas of the support 1 which are laterally occupied to the longitudinal gap 6 by means of Velcro fasteners, in both cases the longitudinal gap 6 being inclined to the surface of the support, which in particular when filling the support with foam grains over a long period of time Ensures dimensional stability of the support in its central area and counteracts accidental sagging of a particularly heavy patient. While in the case of FIG. 8 the Velcro fastener is formed by a hooked band 21 and a looped band 23, which on the opposite end faces of the gap 6th are arranged, the Velcro fastener 20 in the embodiment of FIG. 9 corresponds to that of FIG. 6.

Bei der in Fig. 10 dargestellten Variante der Auflage 1 tragen die einander gegenüberliegenden Kanten des Längsspaltes 6 je ein Klemmprofil 25, 26, in das ein Schieber 27 einsteckbar ist, der aus einem elastischen Band 28 besteht, an dessen Außenrand verstärkte Wulste 29 angebracht sind, welche den Schieber 27 in den Klemmprofilen 25 und 26 halten. Am inneren Ende des Längsspalts 6 schließt sich ein Querspalt 30 an, der bei einer entsprechenden eigensteifen Ausgestaltung der Auflage 1 das Auseinanderziehen der an den Längsspalt 6 angrenzenden Bereiche der Auflage ermöglicht, um einen Patienten von der Auflage schonend abzulegen, wobei dieses Auseinanderführen der an den Längsspalt 6 angrenzenden Bereiche der Auflage 1 in Fig. 10 und in entsprechender Weise auch in Fig. 14 schematisiert durch die strichpunktierte Darstellung angedeutet ist.In the variant of the support 1 shown in FIG. 10, the mutually opposite edges of the longitudinal gap 6 each carry a clamping profile 25, 26 into which a slide 27 can be inserted, which consists of an elastic band 28, on the outer edge of which reinforced beads 29 are attached , which hold the slide 27 in the clamping profiles 25 and 26. At the inner end of the longitudinal gap 6 there is a transverse gap 30 which, with a correspondingly rigid design of the support 1, allows the regions of the support adjacent to the longitudinal gap 6 to be pulled apart in order to gently lay a patient down from the support, this bringing the patient apart Longitudinal gap 6 adjacent areas of the support 1 in Fig. 10 and in a corresponding manner in Fig. 14 is indicated schematically by the dash-dotted line.

Im Randbereich der Auflage 1, beispielsweise im Saum eines Tragetuches, sind Rohre 31, 32, 33, 34 angebracht, wobei die Rohre 31 und 33 bzw. 32 und 34 vom Kopf- bis zum Fußende der Auflage durchgehen können, wenn sie entsprechend elastisch ausgebildet sind, so daß sie den Ablagevorgang eines Patienten nicht behindern. In den Endbereichen der Rohre 31, 32, 33, 34 sind Handgriffe 35 angebracht, die U-förmig und mit abgerundeten Ecken über die Endbereiche der Auflage 1 zurückgebogen sind, und die, wie aus Fig. 16 und dem dort wiedergegebenen Pfeil B hervorgeht, ausziehbar in den Rohren 31 bis 34 und gegenüber deren Längsachse verdrehbar gelagert sind, so daß sie bei Nichtgebrauch platzsparend weggedreht werden können.In the edge area of the support 1, for example in the hem of a baby wrap, tubes 31, 32, 33, 34 are attached, the tubes 31 and 33 or 32 and 34 being able to pass from the head to the foot end of the support if they are suitably elastic are so that they do not hinder a patient's placement process. In the end regions of the tubes 31, 32, 33, 34, handles 35 are attached, which are bent back in a U-shape and with rounded corners over the end regions of the support 1 and which, as can be seen from FIG. 16 and the arrow B shown there, extendable in the tubes 31 to 34 and rotatably mounted with respect to their longitudinal axis, so that they can be turned away to save space when not in use.

Die Auflage zum Transport von Patienten, welche in Fig. 14 dargestellt ist, entspricht im wesentlichen derjenigen von Fig. 13, wobei jedoch hier lediglich die am kopfseitigen Ende belegenen Rohre 31 und 32 und die zugehörigen Handgriffe eingezeichnet sind. Als zusätzliche Besonderheit ist hier ein Tragegurt 36 vorgesehen, dessen freies Ende 37 an dem über den Handgriff 35 nach außen vorstehenden Ende des Rohres 31 lösbar befestigt ist. Der Tragegurt 36 ist bei Nichtgebrauch auf einer Trommel 38 aufgewickelt, die am äußeren Ende des Rohres 32 bzw. des in diesem verschiebbar geführten, den Handgriff 35 drehbar lagernden Rohrstückes 32a gehaltert ist, wie dies im einzelnen aus Fig. 16 hervorgeht. Die Aufwickeltrommel 38 ist durch eine Feder 39 vorgespannt, die im Inneren des Rohrstücks bzw. der Hülse 32a aufgenommen und dem gegenüber drehfest gelagert ist.The support for transporting patients, which is shown in FIG. 14, corresponds essentially to that of FIG. 13, but here only that at the head end occupied tubes 31 and 32 and the associated handles are shown. As an additional special feature, a carrying strap 36 is provided here, the free end 37 of which is detachably attached to the end of the tube 31 projecting outward beyond the handle 35. When not in use, the carrying strap 36 is wound on a drum 38 which is held at the outer end of the tube 32 or the tube piece 32a which is slidably guided therein and rotatably supports the handle 35, as can be seen in detail from FIG. 16. The winding drum 38 is pretensioned by a spring 39 which is received in the interior of the tube piece or the sleeve 32a and which is mounted in a rotationally fixed manner opposite.

Wenn die Auflage 1, was für den Transport Schwerverletzter besonders geeignet ist, als Vakuum-Matratze ausgebildet ist, kann im Fußbereich derselben eine Absaugpumpe integriert werden, wie dies beispielsweise bei der Ausgestaltung der Fig. 10 durch das Bezugszeichen 40 angedeutet ist.If the support 1, which is particularly suitable for the transport of seriously injured persons, is designed as a vacuum mattress, a suction pump can be integrated in the foot region thereof, as is indicated, for example, by the reference numeral 40 in the embodiment of FIG. 10.

Bei der in Fig. 17 gezeigten Variante der Auflage 1 mündet der Längsspalt 6 der Trennungslinie an ihrem inneren Ende in eine Öffnung 41, analog dem Querspalt 30 von Fig. 10, der das Auseinanderziehen der an dem Längsspalt 6 angrenzenden Bereiche der Auflage erleichtert. Am seitlichen Rand 19 der Auflage sind Haltegriffe 42 befestigt.In the variant of the support 1 shown in FIG. 17, the longitudinal gap 6 of the dividing line opens at its inner end into an opening 41, analogous to the transverse gap 30 from FIG. 10, which facilitates the pulling apart of the regions of the support adjacent to the longitudinal gap 6. Handles 42 are attached to the lateral edge 19 of the support.

Fig. 18 zeigt einen Längsschnitt durch einen Reißverschluß 3 und einen angrenzenden Teil des Längsspalts 6. Auf der Oberseite des Reißverschlußschiebers 9 ist ein Material mit geringen Reibungseigenschaften 43 angebracht, das ein Abbremsen des Reißverschlusses während des Öffnungs- und Schließvorganges durch die Schutzabdeckung 16 verhindern soll. Die Unterseite der Schutzabdeckung 16 ist auch mit rutschförderndem Material 49 versehen. Auf der Unterseite des Reißverschlußschiebers 9 ist eine Verstärkungsleiste 46 angeordnet, die, in Zugrichtung A gesehen, an der Vorder- und an der Hinterseite über den Reißverschlußschieber 9 hinausragt. Zwischen Krampenreihen 4, 5 und der Verstärkungsleiste sind Distanzstücke angeordnet, die mit der Verstärkungsleiste 46 verbunden sind. Die Distanzstücke sind vorzugsweise aus rutschleichtem Kunststoff und, wie aus der Zeichnung nicht hervorgeht, an ihren Randkanten 50, 51 abgerundet. Die Verstärkungsleiste 46 ist auf ihrer Unterseite mit dem Zugband 11 versehen, und zwar so, daß sich keine Kanten bilden, wie aus Fig. 19 hervorgeht. Die Verbindung zwischen den Distanzstücken 44, 45, der Verstärkungsleiste 46 und dem Zugband 11 geschieht in der Ausführungsform von Fig. 18 mittels versenkbarer Nieten 52, 53.Fig. 18 shows a longitudinal section through a zipper 3 and an adjacent part of the longitudinal gap 6. On the top of the zipper slide 9, a material with low friction properties 43 is attached, which is to prevent the zipper from braking during the opening and closing process by the protective cover 16 . The underside of the protective cover 16 is also provided with non-slip material 49. On the underside of the zipper slide 9, a reinforcing bar 46 is arranged, which, viewed in the direction of pull A, on the front and protrudes beyond the zipper slider 9 at the rear. Spacers, which are connected to the reinforcing strip 46, are arranged between rows of staples 4, 5 and the reinforcing strip. The spacers are preferably made of non-slip plastic and, as is not apparent from the drawing, rounded at their edge edges 50, 51. The reinforcing strip 46 is provided on its underside with the tension band 11, in such a way that no edges form, as can be seen in FIG. 19. The connection between the spacers 44, 45, the reinforcing bar 46 and the tension band 11 is made in the embodiment of FIG. 18 by means of retractable rivets 52, 53.

In dem Querschnitt des Reißverschlusses 3, der in Fig. 19 gezeigt ist, sieht man die obere Schutzabdeckung 16 der Auflage und die zur Bildung eines Führungskanals durch Material 47, 48 verstärkten, aneinandergrenzenden Bereiche der Trennungslinie. Die Seitenwände 7, 8 des Führungskanals sind in dieser Ausführung so hoch, daß der Reißverschluß keine Bodenberührung hat.In the cross section of the zipper 3, which is shown in FIG. 19, one can see the upper protective cover 16 of the support and the adjoining regions of the dividing line reinforced by material 47, 48 to form a guide channel. The side walls 7, 8 of the guide channel are so high in this embodiment that the zipper has no contact with the ground.

In Fig. 20 ist eine Überlappungshälfte einer mit Querschlitzung versehenen Vakuum-Matratze gezeigt. Der gezeigte Überlappungsteil 54 ist ungefähr in Schritthöhe des darauf zu lagernden Patienten mit einer Einbuchtung 55 versehen, welche das Anpassen des Überlappungsteils 54 an die Beine des Patienten erleichtert.20 shows an overlapping half of a vacuum mattress provided with transverse slits. The overlap part 54 shown is provided with an indentation 55 approximately at the crotch height of the patient to be placed thereon, which makes it easier to adapt the overlap part 54 to the patient's legs.

Fig. 21 zeigt eine Draufsicht einer vollständigen, quergeschlitzten Vakuum-Matratze. Vom Kopfbereich 2 der Auflage 1 ausgehend, verläuft die mit einem Reißverschluß 3 versehene Trennungslinie bis in den Ansatzbereich der durch Querschlitzung entstandenen zusätzlichen Modelliermasse. Die Innenkanten 56, 57 der Überlappungsteile sind beidseitig der Längsmittelachse angeordnet.Figure 21 shows a top view of a full, cross-slit vacuum mattress. Starting from the head area 2 of the support 1, the dividing line provided with a zipper 3 extends into the attachment area of the additional modeling material created by cross-slitting. The inner edges 56, 57 of the overlap parts are arranged on both sides of the longitudinal central axis.

Der in Fig. 22 gezeigte Querschnitt durch eine evakuierbare Vakuum-Matratze macht deutlich, wie die Innenkanten 56, 57 der Überlappungsteile bei angepaßter Modelliermasse bewegt werden. Die Steilheit des Querschlitzes 58 beeinflußt Dicke und Breite der Überlappungsteile.The cross section shown in FIG. 22 through an evacuable vacuum mattress makes it clear how the inner edges 56, 57 of the overlapping parts are moved with an adapted modeling compound. The steepness of the transverse slot 58 influences the thickness and width of the overlap parts.

In Fig. 23 sind entlang des Querschlitzes 58 Rippungen 59 angebracht, die die Überlappungsteile der Auflage verstärken. Der Winkel des Querschlitzes in der Ausführung von Fig. 23 ist bedeutend steiler als der in der Ausführung von Fig. 22.23, ribs 59 are attached along the transverse slot, which reinforce the overlap parts of the support. The angle of the transverse slot in the embodiment of FIG. 23 is significantly steeper than that in the embodiment of FIG. 22.

Die Draufsicht einer Vakuum-Matratze 1 in Fig. 24 zeigt einen vom Fußende 14 der Auflage ausgehenden Höcker 60, der in dieser Ausführung fest mit der Vakuum-Matratze 1 verschweißt ist. Die Löcher 61 stellen eine evakuierbare Verbindung zwischen Vakuum-Matratze und Höcker 60 dar und können, je nach Größe, den Austausch von Granulat zwischen dem Höckerkamm 62 und der Vakuum-Matratze 1 verhindern oder erleichtern. In dieser Ausführung ist keine parallel zum Höcker 60 verlaufende Einbuchtung gezeigt, die ein Eindrücken des Höckers 60 in die Vakuum-Matratze 1 erleichtert. In Randnähe der Vakuum-Matratze ist ein Absaugventil 63 für eine Absaugvorrichtung gezeigt.The top view of a vacuum mattress 1 in FIG. 24 shows a protuberance 60 extending from the foot end 14 of the support, which in this embodiment is firmly welded to the vacuum mattress 1. The holes 61 represent an evacuable connection between the vacuum mattress and the hump 60 and, depending on the size, can prevent or facilitate the exchange of granules between the hump crest 62 and the vacuum mattress 1. In this embodiment, no indentation running parallel to the hump 60 is shown, which facilitates the pressing of the hump 60 into the vacuum mattress 1. A suction valve 63 for a suction device is shown near the edge of the vacuum mattress.

In Fig. 27 sieht man eine quergeschlitzte Vakuum-Matratze 1, die von einem Träger 67 aufgenommen ist. Der Träger 67 hat in der gezeigten Ausführungsform zwei tragende Flächen 68, 69, die von einem tragenden Holm 70 durchsetzt sind (in Fig. 27 nicht ersichtlich).
