Description

Verfahren und Gerät zur Rettung von verunglückten Method and device for rescuing accidents
Personenpeople
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und ein Gerät in Form einer Tragvorrichtung für den vertikalen Transport einer verunglückten Person in einer horizontalen Liegesitzposition, bestehend aus zwei jeweils an ihren beiden Enden miteinander verbundenen Gurten, von denen der eine um den Oberkörper, der andere um die Oberschenkel der verunglückten Person zu legen ist, und die an ihren Enden mit einem gemeinsamen Koppelglied versehen sind, mit dem sie an ein herabgelassenes Ende einer Rettungsleine ankoppelbar sind.The invention relates to a method and a device in the form of a carrying device for the vertical transport of an accident in a horizontal reclining position, consisting of two straps each connected at their two ends, one of which around the upper body, the other around the thighs is to be placed in an accident, and which are provided at their ends with a common coupling element with which they can be coupled to a lowered end of a lifeline.

Es hat sich herausgestellt, dass diese Tragvorrichtung im Einsatz erheblich kreislaufschonender ist als einfache Rettungsschiingen in Form eines Gurtes, der um den Oberkörper der verunglückten Person geschlungen wird und dann am Ende einer von oben von Bord eines Schiffes oder eines Hubschraubers herabgelassenen Rettungsleine befestigt wird.A carrying device for the vertical transport of an accident victim in a horizontal reclining position, consist of two straps each connected at their two ends, one of which is to be placed around the upper body, the other around the thighs of the victim, and the others The ends are provided with a common coupling element with which they can be connected to a lowered end of a mountain line, was developed by Professor Schwindt in order to be able to bring a person swimming or floating in distress into the water with the means of a sports sailing ship (DE 43 26 557 C2). It has been found that this carrying device is considerably more gentle on the circulatory system than simple lifebuoys in the form of a belt that is around the upper body of the accident victim is slung and then attached to the end of a lifeline lowered from above from a ship or a helicopter.
Für das schonende an Bord eines Schiffes Holen einer Tragevorrichtung nach Prof. Schwindt, wurden dann von diesem zwei weitere Möglichkeiten entwickelt. Die eine ist in der DE 197 45 408 A1 beschrieben, die andere ist noch unveröffentlicht.Two more options were then developed for gently carrying a carrying device according to Prof. Schwindt on board a ship. One is described in DE 197 45 408 A1, the other is not yet published.
Der Einsatz dieser kreislaufschonenden Tragvorrichtung bei einer Bergung einer verunglückten Person mit einem Hubschrauber, hat sich als schwierig dadurch erwiesen, dass das Anlegen der beiden Gurte an der verunglückten Person bei den unter dem Hubschrauber auftretenden Luftwirbeln Schwierigkeiten bereitete. Ein unter dem Hubschrauber arbeitender Retter, der in unwegsamem und unzulänglichem Gelände bei der Bergrettung ebenso wie bei einer Rettung aus dem Wasser mit den Schwierigkeiten der Umgebung und des Untergrundes ebenso wie mit den durch die Bewegungsbehinderungen des Patienten bedingten Schwierigkeiten zu kämpfen hat, hat erhebliche Mühen, einen einzigen Gurt am Oberkörper des Patienten anzulegen. Das Anlegen eines zweiten Gurtes gelingt ihm nicht oder nur unter erheblichem Zeitaufwand.The use of this circuit-friendly carrying device when rescuing an accident victim with a helicopter has proven to be difficult because the application of the two belts to the accident victim was difficult with the air vortices occurring under the helicopter. A rescuer working under the helicopter, who has to struggle with the difficulties of the environment and the underground as well as with the difficulties caused by the patient's mobility impairment in difficult and inadequate terrain during mountain rescue as well as during a rescue from the water, as well as with the difficulties caused by the patient's mobility impairment to put a single belt on the patient's torso. He fails to put on a second belt or only takes a considerable amount of time.
Die Erfindung vermeidet die Nachteile des Standes der Technik. Es ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung, mit einfachen Mitteln eine Möglichkeit zu schaffen, beide Gurte auf einmal mit einem Handgriff an der verunglückten Person zu befestigen und dann mit einem zweiten Handgriff die beiden Gurte voneinander zu trennen und den zweiten Gurt unter das Gesäß der verunglückten Person zu schieben.The invention avoids the disadvantages of the prior art. It is the object of the invention to create a possibility with simple means, both belts at once with a handle on the injured person to attach and then separate the two belts from each other with a second handle and to push the second belt under the buttocks of the accident victim.
Die Erfindung geht aus von dem eingangs genannten, von Prof. Schwindt entwickeltem Rettungsgerät und besteht darin, dass die beiden Gurte in der Bereitschaftsstellung eng parallel aneinander anliegen und miteinander einen Strang bildend lösbar miteinander verbunden sind, dass Mittel vorgesehen sind, mit denen die Verbindung zwischen den beiden Gurten zu lösen ist, und dass das eine Ende beider Gurte an das Koppelglied angekoppelt oder anzukoppeln ist, während das andere Gurtende an das erstgenannte Ende oder das Koppelglied ankoppelbar ist.The invention is based on the rescue device mentioned at the outset, developed by Prof. Schwindt, and consists in the fact that the two belts lie closely parallel to one another in the ready position and are releasably connected to one another to form a strand, that means are provided with which the connection between the two belts is to be released, and that one end of both belts is coupled or to be coupled to the coupling element, while the other end of the belt can be coupled to the first-mentioned end or the coupling element.
Der Einsatz dieses Rettungsgerätes erfolgt derart, dass man vor Beginn der Rettungsaktion den Untergurt mit dem Obergurt fest aber lösbar in paralleler Lage zu einer Gurtkombination verbindet, dass man zu Beginn der Rettungsaktion der verunglückten Person zunächst die gesamte Gurtkombination um den Oberkörper legt und die Enden der Gurte miteinander verbindet und an der Rettungsleine befestigt, dass man anschließend den Untergurt aus dem Obergurt löst und ihn dann unter das Gesäß der zu rettenden Person schiebt.This rescue device is used in such a way that before the start of the rescue operation, the lower chord is firmly but detachably connected in parallel to a belt combination in such a way that at the beginning of the rescue operation of the accident victim, the entire belt combination is first put around the upper body and the ends of the Connect the straps to each other and fasten them to the lifeline so that the lower chord can then be removed from the upper chord and then pushed under the buttocks of the person to be rescued.
Dadurch ist erreicht, dass das Anlegen des Rettungsgerätes unter einem über der Unfallstelle schwebenden Hubschraubers ebenso einfach wie das Anlegen eines einfachen Gurtes ist, vielleicht sogar einfacher.It is thereby achieved that putting on the rescue device under a helicopter hovering over the accident site is just as easy as putting on a simple belt, perhaps even easier.
Da nach dem Anlegen der Gurtkombination der Untergurt entweder mit zwei Handgriffen oder automatisch mit Druck- luft aus der Gurtkombination gelöst wird, ist der Untergrund beim Anlegen des Obergurtes nicht im Wege und kann nicht durch Luftwirbel in störende Positionen gebracht werden.Since after the belt combination has been put on, the lower belt can either be moved in two steps or automatically with pressure air is released from the belt combination, the surface is not in the way when the upper belt is put on and cannot be brought into disturbing positions by air swirls.
Nach dem Anlegen des Obergurtes und dem Auswerfen des Untergurtes kann dieser leicht unter das Gesäß der verunglückten Person geschoben werden und schon kann deren Hochhieven in halb sitzender, halb liegender Position in die Hubschrauberkabine beginnen. Das geht viel kreislaufschonender als mit nur einem um den Brustkorb geschlungenen Gurt vor sich und sehr viel schneller als der Transport auf einer Tragbahre, auf die der Patient erst gelegt und festgeschnallt hätte werden müssen.After putting on the upper belt and ejecting the lower belt, it can easily be pushed under the buttocks of the person who has had the accident, and their lifting can begin in the half-sitting, half-lying position in the helicopter cabin. This is much easier on the circulatory system than with only one belt wrapped around the chest and much faster than transporting it on a stretcher on which the patient should first have been placed and strapped.
Die Unterbringung des Untergurtes im oder am Obergurt kann auf verschiedene Weise erfolgen:The lower chord can be accommodated in or on the upper chord in different ways:
Eine Möglichkeit besteht darin, dass der Obergurt zwei Wulste trägt, zwischen denen der Untergurt eingelegt ist. Dabei können die Wulste und/oder der Obergurt pneumatisch aufblasbar sein und beim Aufblasen den Untergurt auswerfen. Dabei bilden die aufgeblasenen Wulste bzw. der aufgeblasene Gurt Polsterungen für den schonenden Transport des Patienten.One possibility is that the upper flange carries two beads, between which the lower flange is inserted. The beads and / or the top flange can be pneumatically inflated and eject the bottom flange when inflated. The inflated beads or the inflated belt form padding for the gentle transport of the patient.
Eine andere Möglichkeit besteht darin, dass die Gurte durch Haftmittel, wie Klettbänder, Klebstoff, Haftfolien oder dergleichen, miteinander verbunden sind. Insbesondere wenn der Untergurt mit Handgriffen versehen ist, lassen sich die Gurte im Bedarfsfall leicht voneinander trennen. Eine weitere Möglichkeit besteht darin, dass an dem Obergurt textile, einseitig mit einem Klettverschluß und einem Handgriff versehene Halter angebracht sind, welche den Untergurt umfassen.Another possibility is that the straps are connected to one another by means of adhesive, such as Velcro strips, adhesive, adhesive films or the like. Especially if the lower chord is equipped with handles, the straps can be easily separated from each other if necessary. A further possibility is that textile holders, which are provided on one side with a Velcro fastener and a handle, are attached to the upper belt and enclose the lower belt.
Auch besteht die Möglichkeit, dass der Obergurt Klammern trägt, in die der Untergurt eingelegt ist.There is also the possibility that the upper chord carries clips in which the lower chord is inserted.
Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn das freie Ende der Gurtkombination einen Haken trägt, der in eine von mehreren Ösen am anderen Ende der Gurtkombination einhängbar ist. Dann ist die Gurtkombination leicht an die Körpergröße und -form des Patienten anpassbar. Dabei werden als Ösen zweckmäßigerweise D-Bügel verwendet, deren gerader Schenkel jeweils in einer Schlaufe am Gurt festgelegt ist.It is advantageous if the free end of the belt combination carries a hook which can be hooked into one of several eyelets at the other end of the belt combination. Then the belt combination can be easily adjusted to the patient's height and shape. D-brackets are used as eyelets, the straight leg of which is fixed in a loop on the belt.
Für eine geeignete Liege-Sitz-Position des Patienten können unterschiedliche Längen von Obergurt und Untergurt erforderlich sein. Dann bereitet die Unterbringung des Untergurtes im oder am Obergurt Schwierigkeiten. In solchen Fällen ist es zweckmäßig, wenn der eine Gurt länger als der andere ist und wenn das über die Länge des anderen Gurtes überstehende Stück gefaltet und aneinander haftend zusammengelegt ist. Dabei ist die Verwendung von Klettbändern als Haftmittel besonders zweckmäßig.Different lengths of the upper and lower belt may be required for a suitable lying-down position of the patient. Then the placement of the lower flange in or on the upper flange is difficult. In such cases, it is expedient if one belt is longer than the other and if the piece protruding over the length of the other belt is folded and folded together to adhere to one another. The use of Velcro as an adhesive is particularly useful.
Der Hubschraubertransport stellt besondere Anforderungen an eine stabile Lage des Patienten in den beiden Gurten. Die kann noch dadurch verbessert werden, dass zwischen den Gurten ein Netz ausgespannt ist, das an den Gurten angebracht ist. Eine andere Möglichkeit einer geeigneten Zusammenlegung von Ober- und Untergurt zu einer Gurtkombination besteht darin, dass seitlich am Obergurt angebrachte Wulste mit Klettverschlüssen und Handgriffen versehen sind, wobei der Obergurt und seine Wulste den Untergurt umfassen und ihn einschließen.The helicopter transport places special demands on the stable position of the patient in the two belts. This can be further improved by stretching a net between the belts, which is attached to the belts. Another possibility of a suitable combination of upper and lower belt to form a belt combination is that beads attached to the side of the upper belt are provided with Velcro fasteners and handles, the upper belt and its beads enclosing and enclosing the lower belt.
Für das pneumatische Trennen von Ober- und Untergurt und das pneumatische Aufblasen von Wülsten und Gurten ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der eine Gurt Träger einer Halterung für eine Druckluftpatrone und ein handbetätigtes Füllventil für den Gurt oder am Gurt befestigte Wulste ist. Dann reicht nach dem Anlegen des Obergurtes ein einziger Druck auf einen Auslöseknopf aus, um den Absprengvorgang des Untergurtes und die Füllvorgänge zu bewerkstelligen.For the pneumatic separation of the upper and lower belt and the pneumatic inflation of beads and belts, it is advantageous if the one belt is a holder for a compressed air cartridge and a manually operated filling valve for the belt or beads attached to the belt. Then, after putting on the upper belt, a single press of a release button is sufficient to accomplish the lower belt's detaching process and the filling processes.
Das Wesen der Erfindung ist nachstehend anhand eines schematisch in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert. Es zeigen:The essence of the invention is explained below with reference to an embodiment shown schematically in the drawing. Show it:

In betriebsbereitem Zustand sind der um den Brustkorb der verunglückten Person zu legende Obergurt 1 und der um die Oberschenkel der verunglückten Person zu legende Untergurt 2 zu einer Gurtkombination vereinigt. Diese Grutkombi- nation hängt mit einem an ihrem einen Ende angebrachten Karabiner- oder sonstigem Haken 13 in der am Ende der Bergeleine 14 befindlichen Schlaufe. In diesem in Fig. 1 gezeigten Zustand wird das Rettungsgerät z.B. von einem Hubschrauber auf die Stelle herabgelassen, an der der verunglückte Patient liegt. In diesem in Fig. 1 gezeigten Zustand wird die Gurtkombination 1 ,2 um den Oberkörper des Patienten gelegt und vor der Brust des Patienten wird der am freien Ende der Gurtkombination befindliche Verschlusskarabinerhaken 15 je nach dem Körperumfang des Patienten in eine der an der Gurtkombination 1 ,2 befindlichen Ösen in Form der D-Bügel 16 eingehängt und damit die Gurtkombination zu einem um den Oberkörper des Patienten gelegten Ring geschlossen.In the operational state, the upper belt 1 to be placed around the chest of the person involved in the accident and the lower belt 2 to be placed around the thighs of the person involved in the accident are combined to form a belt combination. This combination of spoils hangs with a carabiner or other hook 13 attached at one end to the hook at the end of the Bergeleine 14 located loop. In this state shown in FIG. 1, the rescue device is lowered, for example by a helicopter, to the place where the accident victim lies. In this state shown in FIG. 1, the belt combination 1, 2 is placed around the upper body of the patient and, in front of the patient's chest, the locking carabiner hook 15 located at the free end of the belt combination is placed in one of the belt combination 1, depending on the circumference of the patient. 2 eyelets located in the form of the D-bracket 16 and thus closed the belt combination to a ring placed around the upper body of the patient.
Diese Vorgehensweise und Handhabung des Rettungsgerätes ist die gleiche, wie sie im Stande der Technik bei Bergung einer verunglückten Person in vertikaler Stellung schon immer durchgeführt wurde.This procedure and handling of the rescue device is the same as that which has always been carried out in the prior art when rescuing an accidentally injured person in a vertical position.
Nach diesem Anlegen der Gurtkombination 1 ,2 erfolgt die Lösung der beiden Gurte 1 ,2 voneinander, damit die verunglückte Person in einer Liege-Sitz-Stellung transportiert werden kann.After the belt combination 1, 2 has been put on, the two belts 1, 2 are released from each other so that the accident victim can be transported in a reclining position.
Und damit beginnt das Neue im Rettungswesen mit diesem Rettungsgerät. Die Figur 2 zeigt die Gurtkombination 1 ,2 in dieser geöffneten Stellung für den Transport der verunglückten Person in Liege-Sitz-Stellung, in der der Oberkörper durch den Obergurt 1 und die Beine durch den Untergurt 2 getragen werden, auf dem die Oberschenkel der verunglückten Person bei abgewinkelter Stellung der Beine liegen. Hierbei ist der Obergurt 1 nebst seinem Gewebemantel 5 durch einen Verbindungsschlauch 17 und einem Klammersystem 18 mit der Unterschlaufe 2 nebst Gewebemantel 6 fest zu einer Gurtkombination 1 ,2 verbunden, wobei eine Sicherung 8, bestehend aus dem Endstück des Verbindungsschlauches 17, in dem Klammersystem 9 quer zur Öffnungsrichtung der Unterschlaufe 2 fixiert ist.And this is where the new thing in rescue begins with this rescue device. Figure 2 shows the belt combination 1, 2 in this open position for the transport of the injured person in a reclining position, in which the upper body is carried by the upper belt 1 and the legs by the lower belt 2, on which the thighs of the injured Person lying with legs bent. Here, the upper chord 1 together with its fabric jacket 5 is firmly connected to the lower loop 2 together with fabric jacket 6 by a connecting hose 17 and a clip system 18 to form a belt combination 1, 2, a securing device 8 consisting of the end piece of the connecting tube 17 in the clip system 9 is fixed transversely to the opening direction of the lower loop 2.
Am unteren Ende der so gebildeten Gurtkombination 1 ,2 ist eine zweite Sicherung 25 gegen ein vorzeitiges Auslösen des Untergurtes 2 angeordnet, die ebenfalls quer zur Öffnungsrichtung des Verbindungsschlauches 17 in dem Klammersystem 26 fixiert ist und durch den Handgriff 24 zum Lösen der Sicherung 25 betätigt und geöffnet ist, wobei eine Druckluftpatrone 30 in der Patronentasche 32 ebenfalls betätigt und geöffnet ist. Zwischen den beiden Sicherungen 8 und 25 ist der Verbindungsschlauch 17 in dem Klammersystem 18 gesichert, indem er von der Fangnetz-Taschendecke 19, die mit dem Gewebemantel 5 der Oberschlaufe 1 verbunden ist und mit dem Verschluß der Fangnetz-Taschendecke 20 auf dem Gewebemantel 6 der Unterschlaufe 2 fixiert ist, in dieser Position gehalten ist.At the lower end of the belt combination 1, 2 thus formed, a second fuse 25 is arranged against premature triggering of the lower flange 2, which is also fixed transversely to the opening direction of the connecting hose 17 in the clamp system 26 and actuated by the handle 24 to release the fuse 25 and is opened, wherein a compressed air cartridge 30 in the cartridge pocket 32 is also actuated and opened. Between the two fuses 8 and 25, the connecting hose 17 is secured in the clip system 18 by the safety net pocket cover 19, which is connected to the fabric jacket 5 of the upper loop 1, and with the closure of the safety net pocket cover 20 on the fabric jacket 6 Lower loop 2 is fixed, is held in this position.
Die so als Bergeschlinge 1 ,2 gebildete Grundkombination ist an ihrem oberen Teil, aus dem der Tragegurt 3 des Obergurtes 1 aus diesem herausgeführt ist, mit dem D-Bügel 10 verbunden. Der Tragegurt 4 des Untergurtes 2 ist mit dem D- Bügel 11 verbunden, wobei sich auf dem Tragegurt 3 das Klammersystem 9 der Sicherung 8 befindet und der Tragegurt 4 in Windungen zur Unterschlaufen-Tragegurtverlängerung 7 - z.B. durch Klettverschluß oder anderes- zusammengehalten ist und die Sicherung 8 in Bereitschaftsposition geschlossen ist, indem der Tragegurt 4 nicht ausge- löst und das Ende des Verbindungsschlauches 17, das die Sicherung 8 bildet, nicht aus dem Klammersystem 9 herausgezogen ist.The basic combination thus formed as a rescue loop 1, 2 is connected at its upper part, from which the carrying belt 3 of the upper belt 1 is guided out of this, to the D-bracket 10. The shoulder strap 4 of the lower flange 2 is connected to the D-bracket 11, the clip system 9 of the securing means 8 being located on the shoulder strap 3 and the shoulder strap 4 being held together in turns for the loop-strap extension 7 - for example by means of a Velcro fastener or otherwise - and the Safety device 8 is closed in the standby position by the carrying belt 4 not being loosens and the end of the connecting hose 17, which forms the fuse 8, is not pulled out of the clamp system 9.
Zur Befestigung der aus dem Obergurt 1 und dem Untergurt 2 gebildeten einfachen Bergeschlinge 1 ,2 ist der D-Bügel 10 mit dem D-Bügel 11 durch einen Schäkel 12 mit Wirbel oder anderes verbunden, an dem der Karabiner 13 befestigt ist, wobei dieser in das Ende des Bergeseiles 14, das von einem Hubschrauber oder anderem herangeführt ist, eingehakt ist.To fasten the simple rescue loop 1, 2 formed from the upper chord 1 and the lower chord 2, the D-bracket 10 is connected to the D-bracket 11 by a shackle 12 with a swivel or other, to which the carabiner 13 is fastened, in which the end of the rope 14, which is brought in by a helicopter or other, is hooked.
Die zum Auslösen des Untergurtes 2 aus der um den Brustkorb des Verunfallten geführten und aus Ober- und Untergurt gebildeten Gurtkombination 1 ,2 vorgesehenen zwei Handgriffe 21 auf dem Verschluß der Fangnetz-Taschendecke 20 und der zwei Handgriffe 22 an dem Untergurt 2 sind nicht betätigt, so dass Ober- und Untergurt eine einheitliche Gurtkombination 1 , 2 bilden, wobei der Verschlusskarabiner 15 für den Tragegurt 3 und den Tragegurt 4 zwei getrennte Befestigungsbeschläge aufweist, an denen die Tragegurte 3,4 gesondert und in einem vorteilhaften Winkel von ca. 120° oder anderem befestigt sind und durch den die gebildete Gurtkombination 1 ,2 einheitlich und einfach bedient ist. Der Obergurt 1 weist im Bereich des Rückens des Verunfallten einen Handgriff 23 auf, mit dem der Verunfallte in den Hubschrauber oder anderes hinein dirigiert und zu ziehen ist.The two handles 21 on the closure of the safety net pocket cover 20 and the two handles 22 on the lower belt 2 are not actuated to release the lower belt 2 from the belt combination 1, 2 which is guided around the chest of the victim and formed from the upper and lower belt, so that the upper and lower belt form a uniform belt combination 1, 2, the locking carabiner 15 for the carrying belt 3 and the carrying belt 4 having two separate fastening fittings, on which the carrying belts 3, 4 separately and at an advantageous angle of approximately 120 ° or other are attached and through which the belt combination 1, 2 formed is uniform and easy to use. The upper belt 1 has a handle 23 in the area of the back of the casualty, with which the casualty is directed and pulled into the helicopter or other.
In der Ausschnittsvergrößerung der Fig. 1 ist der Tragegurt 3 der Oberschlaufe 1 gezeigt, auf dem die U-Profil-Halter 39 mit geringem Abstand untereinander in Längsrichtung mit den Verbindungsschrauben 41 nebst Gegenplatte 40 so befestigt sind, dass eine ausreichend freie Beweg- lichkeit des Obergurtes 1 zum Bilden einer geöffneten und geschlossenen Schlaufe erhalten ist, was vorteilhaft durch einen trapezförmigen Zuschnitt der Seiten der U-Profil-Halter erreicht ist, an denen das Klammersystem 18 für den Verbindungsschlauch 17 mit einer Verbindungsschraube 43 oder anderem befestigt ist.1 shows the carrying belt 3 of the upper loop 1, on which the U-profile holders 39 are fastened at a small distance from one another in the longitudinal direction with the connecting screws 41 together with the counter plate 40 so that a sufficiently free movement Lichity of the upper belt 1 to form an open and closed loop is obtained, which is advantageously achieved by a trapezoidal cut of the sides of the U-profile holder, to which the clip system 18 for the connecting tube 17 is attached with a connecting screw 43 or other.
Auf dem Tragegurt 3 sind in Längsrichtung die U-Profil-Halter 39 angeordnet, wobei der erste U-Profil-Halter am oberen Ende des Obergurtes 1 mit innen liegenden Klammern oder anderem versehen ist, die das Klammersystem 9 der Sicherung 8 bilden. Der letzte U-Profil-Halter am unteren Ende des Obergurtes 1 ist ebenfalls mit innen liegenden Klammern oder anderem versehen, die das Klammersystem 26 der Sicherung 25 bilden, welche aus einem mit Gewebe ummantelten Schlauch oder anderem gebildet ist und die frei beweglich in das Klammersystem 26 eingespannt und ausgelöst ist.On the riser 3, the U-profile holder 39 are arranged in the longitudinal direction, the first U-profile holder being provided at the upper end of the upper flange 1 with internal clips or other elements which form the clip system 9 of the fuse 8. The last U-profile holder at the lower end of the upper chord 1 is also provided with internal clips or the like, which form the clip system 26 of the fuse 25, which is formed from a hose or other material covered with fabric and which is freely movable in the clip system 26 is clamped and triggered.
Figur 2 zeigt, wie das voll entfaltete Rettungsgerät zur kreislaufschonenden Bergung Verunfallter in schwer zugänglichen Lagen angeordnet ist, wobei der Obergurt 1 kürzer ist als der Untergurt 2, wodurch der Brustkorb des Verunfallten soweit gegenüber dem Unterleib angehoben ist, dass die technisch, medizinisch und psychologisch vorteilhafteste Körperhaltung gebildet ist. Der Unterschied in der Gurtlänge zwischen Obergurt 1 und Untergurt 2 ist durch das manuelle Öffnen der Sicherung 25 durch den Handgriff 24 und das manuelle oder automatisch-pneumatische Auslösen des Verbindungsschlauches 17 aus dem Klammersystem 18 dadurch erreicht, dass durch die Einwirkung des Körpergewichtes auf die Unterschlaufe 2 die Unterschlaufen- Tragegurtverlängerung 7 ausgelöst und dabei der Tragegurt 4 um ca. 16 cm - 26 cm verlängert ist, wobei das Ende des Verbindungsschlauches 17, das die Sicherung 8 bildet, aus dem Klammersystem 9 herausgehoben und so die Unterschlaufe 2 vollständig aus der Oberschlaufe 1 ausgelöst ist.Figure 2 shows how the fully deployed rescue device for circulatory recovery of casualties in difficult-to-reach locations is arranged, the upper belt 1 is shorter than the lower belt 2, whereby the chest of the casualty is raised so far compared to the lower abdomen that the technical, medical and psychological most advantageous posture is formed. The difference in the belt length between the upper belt 1 and lower belt 2 is achieved by manually opening the securing device 25 by means of the handle 24 and manually or automatically-pneumatically triggering the connecting hose 17 from the clip system 18 by the fact that the body weight acts on the lower loop 2 triggered the lower loop riser extension 7 and thereby the riser 4 is extended by approx. 16 cm - 26 cm, the end of the connecting hose 17, which forms the securing means 8, being lifted out of the clip system 9 and the lower loop 2 is thus completely released from the upper loop 1.
Obergurt 1 und Untergurt 2 sind an ihrem oberen Ende durch die D-Bügel 10 und 11 mit dem Wirbelschäkel 12 oder anderem zusammengehalten. Dieser ist an dem Karabinerhaken 13 befestigt. Der ist in den Beschlag am Ende des Bergeseiles 14 eingehakt. An dem unteren Ende ist er durch den Tragegurt 3 des Obergurtes 1 und den Tragegurt 4 des Untergurtes 2, die an den beiden, untereinander getrennten Befestigungsbeschlägen des Verschlusskarabiners 15 befestigt sind, verbunden. Dieser ist in einen der D-Bügel 16 an der Oberschlaufe 1 eingehakt.Upper flange 1 and lower flange 2 are held together at their upper end by the D-brackets 10 and 11 with the swivel shackle 12 or other. This is attached to the snap hook 13. It is hooked into the fitting at the end of the rope 14. At the lower end it is connected by the carrying strap 3 of the upper chord 1 and the carrying strap 4 of the lower chord 2, which are attached to the two mutually separate fastening fittings of the locking carabiner 15. This is hooked into one of the D-brackets 16 on the upper loop 1.
Damit ist die Oberschlaufe 1 ausreichend fest um den Thorax (Brustkorb) des Verunfallten gelegt und geschlossen, so dass ein Herausgleiten - wie bei dem bisher üblichen Bergen mit herunterhängenden Armen - ausgeschlossen ist. Denn der Thorax des Verunfallten ist gegenüber dem Unterleib durch die ausgelöste Unterschlaufen-Tragegurtverlängerung 7 leicht angehoben, wobei die Unterschlaufe 2 von dem Aufhängepunkt 45 des Verschlusskarabiners 15 aus in einem vorteilhaften Winkel von ca. 120° oder anderem abgezweigt und unter den Oberschenkeln des Verunfallten positioniert ist.The upper loop 1 is thus sufficiently firmly placed around the thorax (chest) of the casualty and closed, so that it cannot slide out, as in the case of the mountains that have hitherto been hanging down. This is because the thorax of the casualty is slightly raised relative to the abdomen by the triggered lower loop riser extension 7, the lower loop 2 branching off from the suspension point 45 of the locking carabiner 15 at an advantageous angle of approximately 120 ° or other and positioned under the thighs of the casualty is.
Der Untergurt 2 ist dabei durch Betätigung des Handgriffs 24 zum Lösen der Sicherung 25 und dem damit verbundenen Auslösen der Druckluftpatrone(n) 30 sowie durch strammes Aufblasen der beiden aufblasbaren Wulste 28 von dem Obergurt 1 abgespreizt und in einer die Liegesitzposition bildenden Position gehalten, indem der Untergurt 2 nicht an den Obergurt 1 herangeschoben und nicht weiter von diesem fortgeschoben ist, wobei das Fangnetz 27 zwischen Obergurt 1 , Untergurt 2 und den beiden Wülsten 28 ausgespannt ist und damit ein Durchsacken des Verunfallten zwischen dem Ober- und Untergurt ausgeschlossen ist. Der Verunfallte ist durch die Lagerung in Liegesitzposition bei aufgespanntem Fangnetz 27 vollständig gesichert. Sein Gesäß ist gegenüber den in dem Untergurt 2 gehaltenen Oberschenkeln vorteilhaft etwas tiefer gelagert, womit ein Herausgleiten zum Untergurt 2 hin und zum Obergurt 1 hin verhindert ist.The lower flange 2 is by actuating the handle 24 to release the fuse 25 and the associated Triggering the compressed air cartridge (s) 30 and by inflating the two inflatable beads 28 spread apart from the upper belt 1 and held in a position forming the reclining position by the lower belt 2 not being pushed towards the upper belt 1 and not being pushed further away from it, this being the case Safety net 27 is stretched between the upper chord 1, lower chord 2 and the two beads 28 and thus a sagging of the accident victim between the upper and lower chord is excluded. The casualty is completely secured by lying in a reclining position with the safety net 27 open. His buttocks are advantageously positioned somewhat lower than the thighs held in the lower flange 2, which prevents them from sliding out towards the lower flange 2 and towards the upper flange 1.
Die beiden Handgriffe 21 auf der Fangnetz-Taschendecke 19, die an dem Obergurt 1 am Gewebemantel 5 befestigt ist, und die beiden Handgriffe 22 an dem Untergurt 2 sind betätigt und auseinandergezogen, wenn durch widrige Umstände das automatische Aufblasen der beiden aufblasbaren Wulste 28, die in den beiden Gewebemänteln 29 geschützt gelagert sind, verhindert oder nicht vorteilhaft ist. Die Handgriffe 21 ,22 sind zusammen mit dem Handgriff 23 an dem Obergurt 1 ebenfalls betätigt, wenn der Verunfallte mit dem Rettungsgerät auf- gewinscht und in den Helikopter oder anderes hinein dirigiert und gezogen ist und wenn der in dem Rettungsgerät gesicherte Verunfallte in diesem zu einem anderen Ort getragen wird.The two handles 21 on the safety net bag cover 19, which is attached to the upper flange 1 on the fabric jacket 5, and the two handles 22 on the lower flange 2 are actuated and pulled apart when, due to adverse circumstances, the automatic inflation of the two inflatable beads 28, the are stored protected in the two fabric coats 29, prevented or not advantageous. The handles 21, 22 are also actuated together with the handle 23 on the upper belt 1 when the accident victim has been wound up with the rescue device and directed and pulled into the helicopter or other and when the accident victim secured in the rescue device has become one is worn elsewhere.
Figur 3 zeigt einen Querschnitt durch die Anordnung der Bauteile des miteinander zu einer einfachen Bergeschlinge 1 ,2 verbundenen Obergurtes 1 und Untergurtes 2. Die Verbindung ist durch den Verbindungsschlauch 17, der durch den Gewebemantel 6 an dem Untergurt 2 befestigt ist und das Klammersystem 18, das durch die U-Profil-Halter 39 mit dem Tragegurt 3 des Obergurtes 1 verbunden ist, hergestellt. Dabei ist die Verbindung des Obergurtes .1 und des Untergurtes 2 dadurch gesichert, dass die Sicherung 25, bestehend aus einem mit Gewebe ummanteltem Schlauch, der mit dem Verbindungsschlauch 17 durch den Gurt 46 oder anderes verbunden ist, in das Klammersystem 26 eingespannt und durch Betätigung des Handgriffes 24 ausgelöst ist und dadurch gesichert, dass die Fangnetz-Taschendecke 19, die an dem Gewebemantel 5 des Obergurtes 1 befestigt ist, durch den Verschluß der Fangnetz-Taschendecke 20, bestehend aus einem Klettverschluß 47 oder anderem, mit dem Gewebemantel 6 des Untergurtes 2 verbunden ist, wodurch der Verbindungsschlauch 17 in dem Klammersystem 18 gehalten ist.Figure 3 shows a cross section through the arrangement of the components of each other to form a simple rescue loop 1, 2 connected upper chord 1 and lower chord 2. The connection is through the connecting hose 17, which is fastened to the lower chord 2 by the fabric jacket 6, and the clamp system 18, which is connected to the carrying belt 3 of the upper chord 1 by the U-profile holder 39 connected. The connection of the upper chord .1 and the lower chord 2 is secured in that the securing device 25, consisting of a hose encased in fabric and connected to the connecting hose 17 by the belt 46 or other, is clamped in the clamp system 26 and by actuation of the handle 24 is triggered and thereby secured that the safety net pocket cover 19, which is attached to the fabric jacket 5 of the upper belt 1, by the closure of the safety net pocket cover 20, consisting of a Velcro fastener 47 or other, with the fabric jacket 6 of the lower flange 2 is connected, whereby the connecting tube 17 is held in the clamp system 18.
Der Obergurt 1 ist aus dem doppelt gelegten Tragegurt 3 gebildet, auf dem sich der U-Profil-Halter 39 befindet und der mit einer Gegenplatte 40 und den Verbindungsschrauben 41 fest mit dem Tragegurt 3 verbunden ist. An der außen liegenden Seite des U-Profil-Halters 39 ist das Klammersystem 18 mit der Verbindungsschraube 43 verschraubt. In dem U-Profil-Halter ist ein Kupferkabel 42 zur Ableitung/ Erdung von elektrischen Strömen geführt und befestigt. Dabei ist in den U-Profil-Halter 39 der Schaumstoffkeil 37 eingefügt, wodurch der U-Profil-Halter 39 nebst Tragegurt 3 durch den Schaumstoffkern 36, den darüber gelegten Schaumstoffmantel 35 und den darüber gezogenen Gewebemantel 5, der zwischen der Außenseite des U-Profil- Halters 39 und dem Klammersystem 18 eingespannt und arretiert ist, fest in die Oberschlaufe 1 eingefügt. An dem Gewebemantel 5 sind der Handgriff 23 und die Fangnetz-Taschendecke 19 befestigt. Zwischen der Fangnetz- Taschendecke 19 und dem Gewebemantel 5, sowie der Schutzlasche 44, die zwischen U-Profil-Halter 39 und Klammersystem 18 eingespannt und befestigt ist, sind die beiden aufblasbaren Wulste 28 nebst Gewebemänteln 29 nicht aufgeblasen zusammen mit dem Fangnetz 27 angeordnet. Dabei ist die Fangnetz-Taschendecke 19 mit dem Verschluß der Fangnetz-Taschendecke 20, der aus einem Klettverschluß 47 oder anderem gebildet ist, an dem stramm gespannten Gewebemantel 6 der Unterschlaufe 2 verschlossen, wodurch die beiden aufblasbaren Wulste 28 nebst den Gewebemänteln 29 und dem Fangnetz 27 in geordneter Position geschützt sind.The upper belt 1 is formed from the double-layered carrying strap 3, on which the U-profile holder 39 is located and which is firmly connected to the carrying strap 3 with a counter plate 40 and the connecting screws 41. On the outside of the U-profile holder 39, the clamp system 18 is screwed to the connecting screw 43. In the U-profile holder, a copper cable 42 is guided and fastened for deriving / grounding electrical currents. The foam wedge 37 is inserted into the U-profile holder 39, as a result of which the U-profile holder 39 together with the carrying strap 3 through the foam core 36, the foam jacket 35 placed over it and the fabric jacket 5 pulled over it, which lies between the outside of the U- Profile holder 39 and the clamp system 18 clamped and locked, firmly inserted into the upper loop 1. The handle 23 and the safety net pocket cover 19 are attached to the fabric jacket 5. Between the safety net pocket cover 19 and the fabric jacket 5, as well as the protective flap 44, which is clamped and fastened between the U-profile holder 39 and the clip system 18, the two inflatable beads 28 and fabric coats 29 are not inflated together with the safety net 27. The safety net pocket cover 19 is closed with the closure of the safety net pocket cover 20, which is formed from a Velcro fastener 47 or other, on the tightly tensioned fabric jacket 6 of the lower loop 2, whereby the two inflatable beads 28 together with the fabric jackets 29 and the safety net 27 are protected in an orderly position.
Der Untergurt 2 ist aus dem doppelt gelegten Tragegurt 4 gebildet. Dieser ist mit dem Gewebemantel 6 ummantelt. Der Verbindungsschlauch 17 ist durch den Gewebemantel 6 mit dem Tragegurt 4 verbunden und durch den Handgriff 22, der an dem Gewebemantel 6 befestigt ist, zum manuellen Auslösen des Untergurtes 2 aus dem Klammersystem 18 betätigt. Für das manuelle Auslösen der Unterschlaufe 2 ist der Handgriff 21 , der auf dem Verschluß der Fangnetz-Taschendecke 20 angeordnet ist, in Gegenrichtung zur Zugrichtung des Hangriffes 22 getätigt. Dadurch ist der Verschluß der Fangnetz-Taschendecke 20 geöffnet und die beiden aufblasbaren Wulste sind nebst Fangnetz zum Aufspannen freigegeben. Dabei ist der Tragegurt 4 mit der Schaumstoffeinlage 38 gepolstert, so dass die Blutzirkulation in den Oberschenkeln des Verunfallten nicht behindert ist, wobei die Schaumstoffeinlage 38 durch den Gewebemantel 6 in seiner vorteilhaften Position auf dem Tragegurt 4 gehalten ist. Die Erfindung erreicht eine horizontale Liegesitzposition für die zu bergende Person während der Bergung. Die zu bergendeThe lower flange 2 is formed from the double-layer riser 4. This is covered with the fabric jacket 6. The connecting hose 17 is connected to the carrying belt 4 by the fabric jacket 6 and actuated by the handle 22, which is attached to the fabric jacket 6, for manually releasing the lower belt 2 from the clip system 18. For the manual release of the lower loop 2, the handle 21, which is arranged on the closure of the safety net pocket cover 20, is actuated in the opposite direction to the pulling direction of the handle 22. As a result, the closure of the safety net pocket cover 20 is opened and the two inflatable beads and safety net are released for tensioning. The carrying strap 4 is padded with the foam insert 38 so that the blood circulation in the thighs of the casualty is not impeded, the foam insert 38 being held in its advantageous position on the carrying strap 4 by the fabric jacket 6. The invention achieves a horizontal reclining seat position for the person to be rescued during the rescue. The one to be recovered
Person wird mit diesem Rettungsgerät in schonenster Weise aus dem Wasser gehoben und gerettet.Person is lifted out of the water and saved in the most beautiful way with this rescue device.
In dieser Liegesitzposition sind gesundheitliche Schädigungen bei der Bergung so gut wie ausgeschlossen. In dieser Position können auch verletzte Personen schadenfrei geborgen werden.In this reclining seat position, damage to health during recovery is virtually impossible.
