Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a floating stretcher, intended in particular for the recovery of casualties at sea, of the type comprising a metal frame that can be hoisted supporting a plate made of composite material ensuring the buoyancy of the assembly.
  • the main object of the present invention is to remedy this drawback and, to do this, it relates to a stretcher of the aforementioned type which is essentially characterized in that the plate of composite material is pivotally fixed to the front of the 'metal frame and in that means are provided for holding said plate either in an inclined position at a determined angle relative to the plane of the frame and above it, or in the plane of the frame .
  • the means for holding the plate in an inclined position relative to the frame consists of at least one folding stand in two parts articulated respectively on the plate and on the frame by axes.
  • the crutch joints are arranged at the rear of the plate and the frame, the crutch folding forward.
  • the means for holding the plate in the plane of the frame is constituted by a bolt element slidably mounted on the frame at the rear of the latter and engaging in an element of striker fitted on the rear part of the plate.
  • the bolt element is biased by a spring in the locking direction and it is designed to automatically engage in the strike element when the plate is placed in the plane of the frame.
  • the plate when the stand is folded up, just before the stretcher is hoisted, the plate can be quickly and easily locked in the plane of the stretcher, even in difficult sea conditions.
  • the pivoting front fixing of the plate on the frame is constituted by an axis cooperating with bearings fixed respectively on the plate and on the frame.
  • the axis of the pivoting front fixing of the plate on the frame and the axis of the articulation of the stand on said plate are constituted by removable pins.
  • the stretcher shown in Figures 1 and 2 mainly consists of a metal frame 1 supporting a plate of composite material 2 which ensures the buoyancy of the whole.
  • This stretcher is indeed intended to collect the wounded or shipwrecked who fell at sea, in particular airplane pilots. It goes without saying, however, that such a stretcher can also be used in any aquatic environment, lake or river, both by the army and by civil protection.
  • the metal frame 1 is essentially constituted by a rigid main tube 3 made of stainless steel, bent at the level of the part surrounding the head of the injured person, as shown in 4, and the two branches 5 of which extend substantially in parallel up to the level feet where the tube closes by a straight part 6. It will also be noted that each of the branches 5 has a recess 7 in the middle part, which makes it possible to give more comfort to the injured person in the arms, without excessively increasing the size of the stretcher.
  • the metal frame 1 is also provided at its lower part with two secondary tubes 8 of smaller diameter, connected to the main tube 3 by junction tubes 9 and which extend parallel to the latter along the two branches 5.
  • the ends of these two tubes 8 are raised and welded to the main tube 3, thus forming two sledge runners which facilitate the introduction of the stretcher inside the rescue helicopter, allowing the winch operator to slide the stretcher on the edge of the cargo door, or inside an ambulance.
  • the tubes 8 of the sledge runners are also connected together by transverse tubes such as 10 which give the frame 1 its lateral rigidity.
  • This frame thus has a certain depth making it possible to accommodate the plate of composite material 2 intended to support the injured person.
  • the metal frame 1 also comprises, on the side of the head, a hoop 11 welded to the main tube 3 and connected to the curved part 4 of the latter by junction tubes 12. This hoop is intended to protect the head or the helmet of the injured person during transport on the stretcher.
  • Small tubes 13 and 14 are also welded to the two branches 5 of the main tube 3 so as to project upwards, thereby providing lateral protection for the injured person carried at the shoulders and shins.
  • rings 15 are welded parts in the form of rings 15 for fixing slings. These rings 15 are arranged in such a way that when the stretcher is helicopter-towed, the pantry brelating the stretcher puts this automatically in an inclined position substantially at 45 °. The injured person stowed on the plate of composite material 2 thus retains a relatively stable position.
  • tubes are welded to the front of the metal frame 1, at the level of the curved part 4, in order to form a pair of front handles 16, while a tube is also welded to the rear of the frame, at the level of the straight part 6, in order to form a rear handle 17, which makes it possible, if necessary, to transform the stretcher into a stretcher.
  • the plate of composite material 2 As for the plate of composite material 2, it closely follows the shape of the main tube 3 of the frame 1 without protruding outside and is thus perfectly protected against shocks. Its upper face is perfectly flat, while its lower face has a relatively large bulge at the front 18 which is extended towards the rear by two parallel longitudinal rafters 19.
  • this particular shape allows the stretcher, when thrown into the water, to automatically turn in the right direction and then take an inclined position at about 45 °, the upper end of the stretcher being out of the water for about 50 cm.
  • This buoyancy at 45 ° is ensured when the stretcher is equipped with all its accessories necessary for helicopter hoisting, that is to say a panty and a piece of approximately 50 meters, all weighing approximately 3 kg.
  • the plate of composite material 2 is pivotally fixed to the front of the metal frame 1 by a pin 20 cooperating with bearings carried respectively by the plate and by the frame.
  • the bearing of the plate consists of a section of tube 21 welded to a metal piece 22 attached by flanges 23, while the bearing of the frame consists of simple tabs 24 welded on the curved part 4 of the armature on either side of the tube section 21.
  • the stretcher is also equipped at the rear with a folding stand 25 in two parts 26 and 27, articulated with respect to each other at 28 and the other ends of which are articulated respectively on the plate 2 and on the frame 1 by pins 29 and 30.
  • This stand 25 is designed to bend forward and the articulation 29 of the plate is arranged on an attached metal piece 31 fixed on the underside of the plate near its end rear, while the articulation 30 of the frame is carried by a stirrup 32 welded to the rear right part 6 of the frame.
  • Means are further provided for locking the stand 25 in its extended position.
  • This means may for example be constituted by an extension of U section 33 of the lower part 27 of the stand, in which the upper part 26 of the stand will be clipped.
  • the plate of composite material 2 can be firmly held in its inclined position relative to the metal frame 1, which ensures good stability of the stretcher in the water, even in difficult sea conditions.
  • Means are then provided to ensure the automatic locking of the plate 2 in the plane of the frame 1.
  • These means are constituted here by a bolt element 34 slidably mounted in the rear right part 6 of the frame and cooperating with a strike element 35 arranged on the rear end of the plate.
  • the bolt 34 provided with an operating button 36, is biased by a spring not shown in the locking direction and it is designed to automatically engage in the keeper 35 thanks to an inclined part.
  • Such a stretcher is therefore very convenient to use for rescuers, while providing increased safety for the injured.
  • the axis 20 of the pivoting front attachment of the plate and the axis 29 of the articulation of the stand 25 on said plate are constituted by removable pins, for example ball pins .
  • the plate of composite material 2 can be easily detached from the frame 1 in order to transport the injured person directly to appropriate radiographic means without having to manipulate it unnecessarily.
  • the plate is equipped with straps 37 for securing the injured person there independently of the frame and with four flexible carrying handles 38.
