Eine Vorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 ist aus US-A-4 037 871 bekanntThe invention relates to a device for releasably connecting a Stretcher on a stretcher trolley with at least one, preferably two arranged on the stretcher trolley Fasteners and with at least a corresponding number on the Stretcher arranged with the fasteners on Stretcher chassis correspondingly designed locking elements. A device according to the preamble of Claim 1 is known from US-A-4 037 871

Beim Transport von Krankentragen in Krankentransportfahrzeugen ist es üblich, daß die Krankentragen zusammen mit einem Krankentragenfahrgestell in das Krankentransportfahrzeug eingeschoben und das Krankentragentransportgestell im Krankentransportfahrzeug verriegelt wird. Die Krankentrage ist in der Regel derart ausgebildet, daß sie formschlüssig im Krankentragenfahrgestell angeordnet ist. Diese Ausgestaltung hat sich dahingehend als vorteilhaft erwiesen, daß die Krankentrage am Einsatzort schnell und einfach aus dem Krankentragenfahrgestell herausgehoben werden kann, um beispielsweise der Aufnahme des zu bergenden Unfallpatienten zu dienen. Nachdem der zu bergende Unfallpatient auf der Krankentrage gebettet ist, wird diese auf das Krankentragenfahrgestell aufgesetzt und das Krankentragenfahrgestell zusammen mit der Krankentrage in das Krankentransportfahrzeug eingeschoben, wobei das Krankentragenfahrgestell in der Regel aus einer ausgeklappten in eine eingeklappte Position überführt und mit dem Krankentransportfahrzeug bzw. in dem Krankentransportfahrzeug angeordneten Befestigungsvorrichtungen verriegelt wird.When transporting stretchers in ambulance vehicles, it is usual that the stretchers together with a Stretcher trolley inserted into the ambulance and the stretcher rack in the ambulance is locked. The stretcher is usually designed so that it is positively arranged in the stretcher chassis. This Design has proven advantageous in that the Stretcher on site quickly and easily from the Stretcher trolley can be lifted out, for example to serve the reception of the accident patient to be rescued. After that too rescuing accident patient is on the stretcher, this is on the Stretcher chassis and the stretcher chassis together with the stretcher in the ambulance inserted, the stretcher chassis usually from one unfolded into a folded position and with the Ambulance vehicle or in the ambulance vehicle arranged fastening devices is locked.

Bei diesem Stand der Technik ist es nachteilig, daß die Krankentrage nur auf das Krankentragenfahrgestell aufgelegt ist. Im Falle eines Unfalls des Krankentransportfahrzeuges oder auch bereits bei sehr schnell gefahrenen Kurven besteht die nicht unerhebliche Gefahr, daß sich die Krankentrage von dem Krankentragenfahrgestell löst und die im Patientenraum des Krankentransportfahrzeuges mitreisenden Personen, nämlich Notarzt und/oder Rettungspersonal erheblich verletzt. Diese Gefahr tritt insbesondere bei einem Unfall des Krankentransportfahrzeuges auf.With this prior art, it is disadvantageous that the stretcher only is placed on the stretcher trolley. In the event of an accident Ambulance vehicle or even if the vehicle was driven very quickly There is a not inconsiderable risk that the stretcher detaches from the stretcher trolley and the in the patient room of the Ambulance vehicle accompanying persons, namely emergency doctor and / or emergency personnel significantly injured. This danger occurs especially in the event of an accident involving the ambulance.

Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der gattungsgemäßen Art zu schaffen, die insbesondere bei Unfällen eine erhöhte Sicherheit in einem Krankentransportfahrzeug bereitstellt.Based on this prior art, the object of the invention to create a device of the generic type that increased safety in one, especially in the event of an accident Provides ambulance.

Die Lösung dieser Aufgabenstellung sieht vor, daß die Rastelemente in die Verbindungselemente automatisch und auf Druck selbsttätig einrastbar sind und daß die Verrastung zwischen den Rastelementen und den Verbindungselementen zum Lösen der Verrastung manipulierbar ist.The solution to this problem provides that the locking elements can be automatically locked into the connecting elements and automatically when pressure is applied are and that the locking between the locking elements and Fasteners can be manipulated to release the locking.

Eine erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung hat demzufolge den Vorteil, daß zwischen der Krankentrage und dem Krankentragenfahrgestell eine sichere Verbindung bereitgestellt wird, die eine automatische Verrastung ermöglicht. Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung ermöglicht somit insbesondere in Verbindung mit einer Verrastung des Krankentragenfahrgestells im Krankentransportfahrzeug eine vollständige und sichere Verankerung des Patienten, so daß auch bei Unfällen des Krankentransportfahrzeuges eine unkontrollierte Bewegung der Krankentrage mit dem darauf auflastenden Patienten oder ausschließlich der Krankentrage vermieden wird. Durch die manipulierbare Verrastung kann die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung derart betätigt werden, daß die vorteilhaften Eigenschaften einer Kombination aus einer Krankentrage und einem Krankentragenfahrgestell am Unfallort erhalten bleiben, nämlich dahingehend, daß die Krankentrage sehr schnell vom Krankentragenfahrgestell gelöst werden kann. A device according to the invention therefore has the advantage that secure between the stretcher and the stretcher trolley Connection is provided that enables automatic locking. The device according to the invention thus enables in particular Connection with a locking of the stretcher chassis in the Ambulance vehicle anchoring the Patients, so that even in the event of an accident involving the ambulance uncontrolled movement of the stretcher with the load on it Patient or only the stretcher is avoided. Through the The device according to the invention can be manipulated in this manner be actuated that the advantageous properties of a combination of a stretcher and a stretcher trolley at the scene of the accident remain, namely that the stretcher very quickly can be detached from the stretcher trolley.

Nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß jedes Verbindungselement als im Querschnitt im wesentlichen rechteckförmiges Profilelement ausgebildet ist, dessen Schmalseiten im wesentlichen rechtwinklig zu einer Seite mit einem einseitig offen ausgebildeten Schlitz zur Aufnahme des Rastelementes verlaufend angeordnet sind, wobei der Schlitz an seinem geschlossenen Ende ein Hakenelement aufweist, welches lösbar mit dem Rastelement verbindbar und um einen im wesentlichen parallel zur Flächennormalen der die Schmalseiten verbindenden Seite verlaufenden Achse verschwenkbar ist. Diese Ausgestaltung sieht somit vor, daß das Rastelement in einen Schlitz des Verbindungselementes einführbar ist. Am Ende des Schlitzes ist ein Hakenelement angeordnet, das von dem Rastelement derart betätigt wird, daß bei Auftreffen des Rastelementes auf das Hakenelement dieses Hakenelement das Rastelement im Verbindungselement sperrt. Über einen einfachen Seilzug kann das Hakenelement des Verbindungselementes gelöst werden, so daß nach Betätigung des Seilzuges oder einer anderen Auslöseeinrichtung das Rastelement aus dem Verbindungselement herausgezogen werden kann.According to a further feature of the invention it is provided that each Connecting element as a substantially rectangular in cross section Profile element is formed, the narrow sides essentially perpendicular to one side with a slot open on one side Receiving the locking element are arranged extending, the slot has at its closed end a hook element which is detachable connectable to the locking element and by a substantially parallel to Surface normals of the side connecting the narrow sides Axis is pivotable. This configuration therefore provides that the Locking element can be inserted into a slot of the connecting element. At the At the end of the slot a hook element is arranged, which of the Locking element is actuated such that when the locking element strikes the hook element this hook element the locking element in Connection element locks. This can be done with a simple cable Hook element of the connecting element can be solved, so that after Actuation of the cable or another triggering device Locking element can be pulled out of the connecting element.

Nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß der Schlitz zu seinem offenen Ende hin sich V-förmig erweiternd ausgebildet ist. Diese Ausgestaltung hat den Vorteil, daß das Einschieben des Verrastelementes in das Verbindungselement wesentlich vereinfacht wird und daß das Rastelement in dem sich V-förmig erweiternden Schlitz in die richtige Position am Ende des Schlitzes geführt wird.According to a further feature of the invention it is provided that the slot is widened in a V-shape towards its open end. This Design has the advantage that the insertion of the locking element in the connecting element is significantly simplified and that Snap element into the correct slot in the V-shaped slot Position at the end of the slot.

Diese Ausgestaltung dient insbesondere der vereinfachten Handhabung und der konstruktiven Vereinfachung der Vorrichtung. Hierbei ist es nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung vorgesehen, daß das Auslöseelement einen Griff aufweist, der nach außerhalb des Profilelementes vorsteht. Dieser Griff kann entweder direkt oder über ein Kraftübertragungselement, beispielsweise einen Bouwdenzug, ein Gestänge oder dergleichen betätigt werden.A further development of the device according to the invention provides that Hook element as a spring-loaded pawl that can be swiveled around the axis is formed, which is connected to a trigger element. This Design serves in particular for simplified handling and constructive simplification of the device. Here it is after one Another feature of the invention provided that the trigger element Has handle that protrudes outside the profile element. That grip can either directly or via a power transmission element, for example, a Bouwdenzug, a linkage or the like operated become.

Weiterhin ist vorgesehen, daß das Auslöseelement in Querrichtung des Profilelements verschiebbar ist, wobei das Auslöseelement vorzugsweise in einer Bohrung des Profilelements geführt ist.It is also provided that the trigger element in the transverse direction of the Profile element is displaceable, the trigger element preferably in a bore of the profile element is guided.

Nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß zwischen dem Auslöseelement und dem Profilelement eine vorgespannte Zugfeder angeordnet ist, die dafür Sorge trägt, daß das mit der Sperrklinke verbundene Auslöseelement die Sperrklinke automatisch in eine Sperrstellung verschiebt. Diese Sperrstellung verläßt die Sperrklinke nur in dem Moment, in dem das Rastelement auf eine in Richtung der Schlitzöffnung angeordnete, schräg verlaufende Fläche der Sperrklinke auftrifft und aufgrund der Schrägstellung der Fläche diese Sperrklinke aus der Sperrstellung herausgedrückt wird. Unmittelbar nachdem das Rastelement vollständig an der schrägstehenden Fläche der Sperrklinke vorbei geschoben ist, zieht die Zugfeder die Sperrklinke in ihre Sperrstellung, wobei die Kraft der Zugfeder auf das Auslöseelement übertragen wird, welches Auslöseelement formschlüssig mit der Sperrklinke verbunden ist.According to a further feature of the invention it is provided that between the release element and the profile element a prestressed tension spring is arranged, which ensures that the pawl connected release element automatically into a pawl Lock position shifts. This locking position leaves the pawl only in the moment when the locking element on a in the direction of Slotted opening, sloping surface of the pawl strikes and due to the inclined surface of this pawl the locked position is pushed out. Immediately after that Locking element completely on the inclined surface of the pawl is pushed past, the tension spring pulls the pawl into its locked position, the force of the tension spring being transmitted to the release element, which release element is positively connected to the pawl.

Die Rastelemente sind vorzugsweise an einem Gestell an der Unterseite der Krankentrage befestigt. Weiterhin ist vorgesehen, daß die Rastelement jeweils einen an der Krankentrage befestigbaren Grundkörper aufweisen. Die Rastelemente sind relativ zu den Grundkörpern verstellbar.The locking elements are preferably on a frame on the underside of the Stretcher attached. It is also provided that the locking element each have a base body attachable to the stretcher. The locking elements are adjustable relative to the base body.

Nach einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, daß die Rastelemente aus einer Gewindestange oder einem Gewindestangenabschnitt und einer vorzugsweise runden Platte bestehen, die gegebenenfalls unter Zwischenanordnung eines Stabelementes an der Gewindestange oder dem Gewindestangenabschnitt befestigt ist, wobei die Außenabmessungen, insbesondere der Durchmesser der Platte größer ist als der Durchmesser des Stabelementes und/oder der Gewindestange bzw. des Gewindestangenabschnitts und der Breite des Schlitzes im Bereich des Hakenelementes.According to a further feature of the invention it is provided that the Locking elements from a threaded rod or a Threaded rod section and a preferably round plate, which if necessary with the interposition of a rod element on the Threaded rod or the threaded rod portion is attached, the External dimensions, in particular the diameter of the plate is larger as the diameter of the rod element and / or the threaded rod or of the threaded rod section and the width of the slot in the area of Hook element.

Vorzugsweise ist die Gewindestange bzw. der Gewindestangenabschnitt in eine Gewindebohrung im Grundkörper einschraubbar, so daß das Rastelement hinsichtlich einer präzisen Lage relativ zum Verbindungselement einstellbar ist.The threaded rod or the threaded rod section is preferably in a threaded hole can be screwed into the base body, so that the Locking element with respect to a precise location relative to Connecting element is adjustable.

Um die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung nachträglich an bereits bestehende Krankentragen anzuordnen ist es vorteilhaft, daß der Grundkörper aus zwei miteinander verbindbaren, vorzugsweise verschraubbaren Hälften besteht, die ein Konstruktionselement der Krankentrage umgreifen.In order to retrofit the device according to the invention to existing ones To arrange stretchers, it is advantageous that the base body from two interconnectable, preferably screwable halves, which encompass a structural element of the stretcher.

Schließlich hat es sich als vorteilhaft erwiesen, zwei Rastelemente und zwei Verbindungselemente jeweils diametral gegenüberliegend an der Krankentrage und dem Krankentragenfahrgestell anzuordnen, so daß eine sichere, auch bei Unfällen haltbare Verbindung zwischen der Krankentrage und dem Krankentragenfahrgestell erzielt wird. Die Diagonalanordnung der Verbindungs- und Rastelemente hat darüber hinaus den Vorteil, daß bei zwei Rastelementen und zwei Verbindungselementen die Verbindung zwischen Krankentrage und Krankentragenfahrgestell sehr schnell hergestellt werden kann, ohne daß umfangreiche Einfädelarbeiten notwendig sind, die eine schnelle Handhabung dieses Rettungsgerätes nachteilig beeinflussen. Finally, it has proven advantageous to have two locking elements and two Fasteners each diametrically opposite on the To arrange stretcher and the stretcher chassis, so that a secure connection between the stretcher that will last even in the event of an accident and the stretcher trolley is achieved. The diagonal arrangement of the Connection and locking elements also has the advantage that at two locking elements and two connecting elements the connection between stretcher and stretcher trolley very quickly can be produced without extensive threading are the quick handling of this rescue device disadvantageous influence.

Eine Ausgestaltung des Verbindungselementes 16 ist in der Figur 6 dargestellt. Das Verbindungselement 16 besteht aus einem rechteckförmigen Profilelement 17, welches zwei parallel zueinander verlaufende Platten 18 und 19 aufweist, die beabstandet zueinander angeordnet und über Schmalseiten 20 miteinander verbunden sind. Das Profilelement 17 weist in seiner Platte 19 einen einseitig offen ausgebildeten Schlitz 21 auf, der sich zu seinem offenen Ende hin V-förmig erweitert.An embodiment of the connecting element 16 is shown in FIG. 6 shown. The connecting element 16 consists of a rectangular profile element 17, which two parallel to each other extending plates 18 and 19 which are spaced apart arranged and connected to each other via narrow sides 20. The Profile element 17 has in its plate 19 a one-sided open Slot 21, which widens towards its open end in a V-shape.

Der Schlitz 21 dient der Aufnahme des Rastelementes 7 und weist im Bereich seines geschlossenen Endes ein Hakenelement 22 auf, welches lösbar mit dem Rastelement 7 verbindbar ist, wobei in der Figur 6 lediglich ein zylinderförmiger Abschnitt 23 des Rastelementes 7 dargestellt ist. Das Hakenelement 22 ist mit einer Lasche 24 verbunden, die um eine Achse 25 am Profilelement 17 verschwenkbar ist. An seinem der Achse 25 gegenüberliegenden Ende ist die Lasche 24 an einem Auslöseelement 26 befestigt, welches Auslöseelement 26 als L-förmige Achse ausgebildet ist, die durch eine Schmalseite 20 des Profilelementes 17 greift und an ihrem aus dem Profilelement 17 hervorstehenden Ende einen Handgriff 27 hat.The slot 21 serves to receive the locking element 7 and has in Region of its closed end a hook element 22, which is releasably connectable to the latching element 7, only 6 in FIG a cylindrical section 23 of the locking element 7 is shown. The Hook element 22 is connected to a tab 24, which is about an axis 25 is pivotable on the profile element 17. On its axis 25 the opposite end is the tab 24 on a release element 26 attached, which release element 26 is designed as an L-shaped axis, which engages through a narrow side 20 of the profile element 17 and on her end protruding from the profile element 17 has a handle 27.

Das Auslöseelement 26 ist mittels des Handgriffs 27 in Richtung eines Pfeils 28 entgegen einer Federkraft einer Feder 29 verschiebbar im Profilelement 17 gelagert.
