Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Transportvorrichtung für den Transport einer Person aus einer ersten Position in eine zweite Position, insbesondere zur Verwendung bei der Umbettung von Personen auf dem Gebiet der Pflege, der Notfallambulanz und der Bestattung.The present invention relates to a transport device for transporting a person from a first position to a second position, in particular for use in the relocation of persons in the field of care, the emergency room and the funeral.

Eine solche Transportvorrichtung, auch Gleitvorrichtung oder Rollboard genannt, ist beispielsweise in der Patentschrift DE 38 06 470 C2 beschrieben. Die dort beschriebene Transportvorrichtung weist ein starres Brett auf, welches von einem Endlosband umschlungen ist, wobei der Reibungswiderstand zwischen dem Endlosband und dem Brett so klein ist, dass er von einer Bedienungsperson, die am Endlosband zieht, überwunden werden kann. Die gezeigte Transportvorrichtung weist einen einfachen Aufbau auf und ist eine leicht tragbare Einheit. Ein Nachteil dieser Vorrichtung ist jedoch, dass sie sperrig ist und nur auf äußerst ebenen Unterlagen verwendet werden kann. Ferner kann diese Vorrichtung ausschließlich für die Umverlagerung von liegenden Patienten verwendet werden, wodurch ihr praktischer Einsatz in der Regel auf die Verlagerung von dauernd bettlägerigen Patienten von einem Bett in ein anderes Bett beschränkt ist.Such a transport device, also called sliding device or rollboard is, for example, in the Patent DE 38 06 470 C2 described. The transport device described therein has a rigid board, which is looped by an endless belt, wherein the frictional resistance between the endless belt and the board is so small that it can be overcome by an operator who pulls on the endless belt. The transporting device shown has a simple structure and is an easily portable unit. A disadvantage of this device, however, is that it is bulky and can only be used on extremely flat documents. Furthermore, this device can be used exclusively for the relocation of recumbent patients, whereby their practical use is usually limited to the relocation of permanently bedridden patients from one bed to another bed.

Eine weitere bekannte Transportvorrichtung wird in dem Dokument US 2 918 681 beschrieben. Aufgrund ihres Aufbaus ist jedoch auch die dort gezeigte Transportvorrichtung sehr starr und schwer und ebenso in der Praxis auf die Umlagerung eines Patienten aus einem Bett in ein anderes beschränkt. Ferner kann diese Transportvorrichtung aufgrund ihrer Beschaffenheit nicht als Unterlage beim Röntgen eines Patienten unter dem Patienten verbleiben.Another known transport device is in the document US 2,918,681 described. Due to their construction, however, the transport device shown there is very rigid and heavy and also limited in practice to the rearrangement of a patient from one bed to another. Furthermore, due to its nature, this transport device can not remain under the patient as a support during x-raying of a patient.

In der Patentanmeldung DE 103 34 270 wird eine Personentransportvorrichtung beschrieben, welche zwar gegenüber den beiden oben genannten Vorrichtungen den Vorteil aufweist, dass sie rundgebogen oder aufgerollt werden kann und vergleichsweise leicht ist. Jedoch ist an dieser Transportvorrichtung als nachteilig anzusehen, dass sie aufgrund der verwendeten Vielzahl von nebeneinander angeordneten längs ausgestreckten Elementen, welche gelenkig aneinander angeschlossen sind, nicht röntgenfähig ist, das heißt, sie kann beim Röntgen nicht unter einem Patienten verbleiben. Es hat sich nämlich herausgestellt, dass alle in dieser Anmeldung offenbarten Ausführungsbeispiele "Spuren" auf den Röntgenbildern hinterlassen, welche derart ausgebildet sein können, dass ein Arzt nicht unterscheiden kann, ob diese Spuren durch den Aufbau der Transportvorrichtung oder durch Strukturen im durchleuchteten menschlichen Körper bedingt sind. Beispiele für die Ursache solcher Spuren, welche nicht unbedingt zuordnungsbar aus der Transportvorrichtung stammen, sind die Gelenke des gemäß einer Ausführung verwendeten Rolliadens sowie die Bohrungen, Schnüre, Seile, Bänder oder Drähte bei den gezeigten anderen Ausführungen, die zur Verbindung der lang ausgestreckten Elemente dienen.In the Patent Application DE 103 34 270 a passenger transport device is described which, although it has the advantage over the two abovementioned devices that it can be rounded or rolled up and is comparatively easy. However, it is to be regarded as disadvantageous in this transport device that it is not radiopaque due to the plurality of juxtaposed longitudinally extended elements used, which are hinged together, that is, they can not remain under a patient in the X-ray. It has been found that all disclosed in this application embodiments leave "traces" on the X-ray images, which may be configured such that a doctor can not distinguish whether these tracks due to the structure of the transport device or by structures in the illuminated human body are. Examples of the cause of such tracks, which are not necessarily attributable to the transport device, are the joints of the Rolliadens used in accordance with one embodiment and the holes, cords, ropes, straps or wires in the other embodiments shown, which serve to connect the elongated elements ,

Eine weitere Transport vorrichtung wird in US4686719 offenbart, welche mehrere flächige Elemente umfasst, die durch eine gemeisame Umhüllung umschlossen werden.Another transport device will be in US4686719 discloses which comprises a plurality of planar elements which are enclosed by a common enclosure.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Personentransportvorrichtung anzugeben, welche gegenüber dem Stand der Technik verbessert ist und sich insbesondere dadurch auszeichnet, dass sie bei der Verwendung in einem Röntgengerät auf den Röntgenbildern weitgehend keine Spuren hinterlässt. Ferner soll die erfindungsgemäße Personentransportvorrichtung vorteilhaft besonders leicht aufrollbar sein und kostengünstig herstellbar sein.The invention has for its object to provide a passenger transport device, which is improved over the prior art and is particularly characterized by the fact that when used in an X-ray machine on the X-ray images largely leaves no traces. Furthermore, the passenger transport device according to the invention should advantageously be particularly easy to roll up and be inexpensive to produce.

Die erfindungsgemäße Aufgabe wird durch eine Transportvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Die abhängigen Ansprüche beschreiben besonders vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung.The object of the invention is achieved by a transport device having the features of claim 1. The dependent claims describe particularly advantageous developments of the invention.

Der Erfinder hat erkannt, dass eine kostengünstige Transportvorrichtung, welche uneingeschränkt röntgenfähig ist, das heißt, welche in einem Röntgengerät keine Spuren auf den Röntgenbildern hinterlässt, wenn ein Patient auf ihr liegend geröntgt wird, dadurch erreicht wird, wenn ihr Körper, der von einem gleitbaren Endlosband umschlungen ist, eine Vielzahl von flächigen Elementen aufweist, welche stirnseitig frei aneinander anliegend in einer gemeinsamen Umhüllung angeordnet sind. Im Gegensatz zu der Personentransportvorrichtung aus der deutschen Patentanmeldung DE 103 34 270 sind die flächigen Elemente somit erfindungsgemäß nicht gelenkig miteinander verbunden, sondern liegen frei aneinander an. Man könnte auch sagen, die flächigen Elemente sind zueinander vereinzelt oder frei von einer unmittelbaren Verbindung miteinander.The inventor has recognized that a low cost transceiver that is fully radiopaque, that is, which does not leave traces on the x-ray images in an x-ray machine when x-rayed on a patient, is achieved if its body is a slidable one Endlosband is looped around, having a plurality of sheet-like elements, which are arranged frontally freely adjacent to each other in a common enclosure. In contrast to the passenger transport device from the German patent application DE 103 34 270 the flat elements are thus not hinged together according to the invention, but are free to each other. One could also say that the two-dimensional elements are isolated from each other or free from a direct connection with each other.

Um die flächigen Elemente dennoch in ihrer anliegenden Position relativ zueinander zu halten, sind sie alle gemeinsam oder gruppenweise jeweils in einer gemeinsamen Umhüllung angeordnet. Dabei braucht die Umhüllung keine vollständige Umhüllung zu sein, beispielsweise kann sie in Form eines Schlauches ausgeführt sein, welcher an einer oder an zwei entgegengesetzt angeordneten Seiten geöffnet ist. Vorteilhaft ist die Umhüllung jedoch vollständig, das heißt, sie weist keine Öffnung auf und umschließt jeweils eine Gruppe von flächigen Elementen oder alle flächigen Elemente in einem gemeinsamen Raum vollständig.In order to still hold the sheet-like elements in their adjacent position relative to each other, they are all arranged together or in groups, each in a common enclosure. In this case, the envelope need not be a complete enclosure, for example, it may be in the form of a tube which is open at one or at two oppositely disposed sides. However, the cladding is advantageously complete, that is to say it has no opening and completely encloses a group of flat elements or all planar elements in a common space.

Die erfindungsgemäßen flächigen Elemente können eine beliebige Form aufweisen, solange sie aneinander anlagefähige Stirnseiten und wenigstens eine flächige Seite zur mittelbaren Auflage des Patienten aufweisen. Man könnte die flächigen Elemente auch als tafelförmig bezeichnen. Vorteilhaft sind die flächigen Elemente als lang ausgestreckte Elemente beziehungsweise lang ausgestreckte Tafeln ausgebildet, welche insbesondere in Richtung der Längsachse oder der Querachse des Körpers ausgerichtet sind und deren Längsstirnseiten frei aneinander anliegen.The sheet-like elements according to the invention may have any shape, as long as they have abutment-capable end faces and at least one flat side for indirect support of the patient. One could also call the flat elements tabular. Advantageously, the planar elements are designed as elongated elements or elongated panels, which are aligned in particular in the direction of the longitudinal axis or the transverse axis of the body and whose longitudinal end faces rest freely against one another.

Um zu vermeiden, dass die flächigen Elemente, zum Beispiel beim Aufrollen oder Rundbiegen der erfindungsgemäßen Transportvorrichtung, dauerhaft in der gemeinsamen Umhüllung auseinander rutschen, ist gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform der Erfindung in wenigstens einem Randbereich des Körpers innerhalb der Umhüllung mindestens ein Federelement angeordnet, welches die flächigen Elemente derart aneinander presst, dass ihre Stirnseiten, die erfindungsgemäß frei aneinander anliegen sollten, wenigstens im ausgerollten Zustand gegeneinander gepresst werden. Ein solches Federelement kann ebenfalls als ein flächiges Element ausgeführt sein, beispielsweise als eine elastische Tafel. Es können auch mehrere flächige Elemente nebeneinander vorgesehen sein, beispielsweise an entgegengesetzten Enden innerhalb der gemeinsamen Umhüllung.In order to avoid that the sheet-like elements, for example during rolling or bending of the transport device according to the invention permanently slip apart in the common enclosure, at least one spring element is arranged in at least one edge region of the body within the enclosure according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention, which flat elements pressed together so that their front sides, the According to the invention should rest freely against each other, at least in the unrolled state pressed against each other. Such a spring element can also be designed as a planar element, for example as an elastic panel. It is also possible to provide several planar elements next to one another, for example at opposite ends within the common enclosure.

Gemäß einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführung der Erfindung, welche einen äußerst geringen negativen Einfluss auf die Qualität von Röntgenbildern bei der Verwendung in einem Röntgengerät ausübt, sind die flächigen Elemente aus einem Schaumwerkstoff ausgebildet. Insbesondere hat sich ein Schaum hoher Dichte als vorteilhaft erwiesen, beispielsweise mit einer Dichte von 20 kg/m3. Besonders vorteilhaft weisen die flächigen Elemente, welche aus einem Schaumwerkstoff ausgebildet sind, eine Dichte von 30 kg/m3 oder mehr auf. Es hat sich beispielsweise die Verwendung eines PE-Schaumes zur Ausführung der flächigen Elemente als hervorragend geeignet erwiesen. Ein geeigneter PE-Schaum wird unter dem Namen Tro-Block vertrieben.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, which exerts an extremely small negative influence on the quality of X-ray images when used in an X-ray machine, the flat elements are formed from a foam material. In particular, a foam of high density has proved to be advantageous, for example with a density of 20 kg / m 3 . Particularly advantageously, the flat elements, which are formed of a foam material, a density of 30 kg / m 3 or more. For example, the use of a PE foam for the execution of the sheet-like elements has proven to be outstandingly suitable. A suitable PE foam is sold under the name Tro-Block.

Wie die flächigen Elemente, die den größten Teil des Körpers der Transportvorrichtung ausbilden, können auch die Federelemente, welche insbesondere ebenfalls als flächige Elemente ausgeführt sind, aus einem Schaumwerkstoff hergestellt sein, welcher jedoch eine geringere Dichte als die übrigen flächigen Elemente aufweist. Dieser Schaumwerkstoff kann beispielsweise eine Dichte von 20 bis 40 kg/m3 insbesondere von 25 bis 35, beispielsweise von genau oder etwa 30 kg/m3 oder weniger aufweisen. Ein besonders elastisches flächiges Element kann durch Verwendung eines Schaumwerkstoffs mit einer Dichte von 5 bis 25 kg/m3 insbesondere von 10 bis 20, beispielsweise von genau oder etwa 15 kg/m3 oder weniger erreicht werden.Like the sheet-like elements, which form the largest part of the body of the transport device, the spring elements, which are in particular also designed as flat elements, can be made of a foam material, which, however, has a lower density than the other flat elements. This foam material may for example have a density of 20 to 40 kg / m 3, in particular from 25 to 35, for example of exactly or about 30 kg / m 3 or less. A particularly elastic sheet member can be achieved by using a foam material having a density of 5 to 25 kg / m 3, more preferably 10 to 20, for example, exactly or about 15 kg / m 3 or less.

Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sollen nachfolgend anhand der beigefügten Figuren näher erläutert werden.Advantageous embodiments of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the accompanying figures.

In der Figur 1 erkennt man eine schematische Draufsicht mit weggeschnittenen Bereichen einer erfindungsgemäßen Transportvorrichtung. Zwei Gruppen von flächigen Elementen 1.3 werden jeweils in einem gemeinsamen Raum vollständig durch die Umhüllung 1.4 umschlossen und bilden den größten Teil des Körpers 1 aus. Um den Körper 1, das heißt um die gemeinsame Umhüllung 1.4, welche beide Gruppen von flächigen Elementen 1.3 umschließt, ist ein gleitbares Endlosband 2 geschlungen, welches nur schematisch angedeutet ist.In the FIG. 1 can be seen a schematic plan view with weggeschnittenen areas of a transport device according to the invention. Two groups of planar elements 1.3 are each completely enclosed in a common space by the sheath 1.4 and form the largest part of the body 1. To the body 1, that is to say around the common enclosure 1.4, which encloses both groups of planar elements 1.3, a slidable endless belt 2 is wound, which is indicated only schematically.

Dadurch, dass der Körper 1 in Richtung der Längsachse 1.1 betrachtet in einem mittleren Bereich (dort wo die Querachse 1.2 eingezeichnet ist) frei von flächigen Elementen 1.3 ist, welche naturgemäß eine gewisse Dicke aufweisen, um die aneinander anstoßenden Stirnseiten auszubilden, kann der Körper 1 besonders leicht einmal über die Querachse 1.2 im axial mittleren Bereich gefaltet werden. Jedoch ermöglicht die Flexibilität und das freie Aneinanderanliegen der flächigen Elemente 1.3 in den übrigen Bereichen des Körpers 1, welche die wesentliche Liegefläche für einen Patienten ausbilden, dass auch in diesen Bereichen der Körper 1 aufgerollt beziehungsweise rundgebogen werden kann.The fact that the body 1 viewed in the direction of the longitudinal axis 1.1 in a central region (where the transverse axis 1.2 is located) is free of planar elements 1.3, which naturally have a certain thickness to form the abutting end faces, the body can. 1 especially be easily folded once over the transverse axis 1.2 in the axially central region. However, the flexibility and the free abutment of the planar elements 1.3 in the remaining regions of the body 1, which form the essential lying surface for a patient, that also in these areas, the body 1 can be rolled or curved.

An den axialen Enden ist der Körper 1 mit Laschen versehen, welche einen Griff aufweisen, so dass er, insbesondere in dem zusammengefalteten Zustand, leicht getragen werden kann beziehungsweise auf einer Fläche leicht gezogen werden kann.At the axial ends of the body 1 is provided with tabs which have a handle so that it, especially in the folded state, can be easily carried or can be easily pulled on a surface.

In den axial äußeren Bereichen des Körpers 1 in den beiden die Gruppen von flächigen Elementen aufnehmenden Hohlräumen, welche durch die Umhüllung 1.4 gebildet werden, ist jeweils ein flächiges elastisches Element eingebracht, welches ein Federelement 1.5 ausbildet. Dieses Federelement 1.5 ist zumindest in Richtung der Längsachse 1.1 federnd ausgebildet und stößt mit einer seiner Längsstirnseiten an der Längsstirnseite des axial äußeren flächigen Elements 1.3 an und mit seiner entgegengesetzten Längsstirnseite an der inneren Oberfläche der Umhüllung 1.4. Dadurch presst dieses Federelement 1.5 die Vielzahl von flächigen Elementen 1.3 in dem jeweiligen Hohlraum, der durch die Umhüllung 1.4 gebildet wird, mit den Längsstirnseiten der flächigen Elemente 1.3 aneinander. Hierdurch wird erreicht, dass ein axialer Spalt, welcher möglicherweise zwischen zwei flächigen Elementen 1.3 beim Aufrollen der Transportvorrichtung entsteht, zumindest nach dem Abrollen beziehungsweise Ausrollen wieder zusammengedrückt wird, so dass alle flächigen Elemente 1.3 einer Gruppe frei und satt mit ihren Stirnseiten aneinander anliegen, wie dies in der Figur 1 gezeigt ist. Ein Spalt zwischen zwei flächigen Elementen 1.3 könnte möglicherweise eine Spur auf einem Röntgenbild hinterlassen, wenn ein Patient für eine Röntgenaufnahme durchleuchtet wird und dabei auf einer erfindungsgemäßen Transportvorrichtung liegt oder sitzt.In the axially outer regions of the body 1 in the two groups of planar elements receiving cavities, which are formed by the sheath 1.4, each a flat elastic element is introduced, which forms a spring element 1.5. This spring element 1.5 is resilient at least in the direction of the longitudinal axis 1.1 and abuts with one of its longitudinal end faces on the longitudinal end side of the axially outer sheet element 1.3 and with its opposite longitudinal end face on the inner surface of the casing 1.4. As a result, this spring element 1.5 presses the multiplicity of planar elements 1.3 in the respective cavity, which is formed by the sheath 1.4, together with the longitudinal end faces of the flat elements 1.3. This ensures that an axial gap, which possibly arises between two flat elements 1.3 when rolling up the transport device, is compressed again at least after rolling or rolling out, so that all planar elements 1.3 of a group are free and full with their end faces abutting one another, such as this in the FIG. 1 is shown. A gap between two planar elements 1.3 could possibly leave a trace on an X-ray image if a patient is X-rayed for an X-ray while lying or sitting on a transport device according to the invention.

Obwohl in der Figur 1 zwei Gruppen von flächigen Elementen 1.3 mit jeweils einem zugeordneten Federelement 1.5 dargestellt sind, kann eine erfindungsgemäße Transportvorrichtung ebenso eine einzige oder mehr als zwei Gruppen von flächigen Elementen 1.3 aufweisen. Ferner können, insbesondere bei einer einzigen Gruppe von flächigen Elementen 1.3, zwei federnde Elemente 1.5 auf entgegengesetzten axialen Seiten am axial äußeren Rand des Körpers 1 angeordnet sein, um ausgehend von beiden axialen Enden eine Druckkraft in Richtung der Längsachse 1.1 des Körpers 1 auf die flächigen 1.3 Elemente auszuüben.Although in the FIG. 1 two groups of planar elements 1.3 are each shown with an associated spring element 1.5, a transport device according to the invention may also have a single or more than two groups of sheet-like elements 1.3. Further, in particular in a single group of planar elements 1.3, two resilient elements 1.5 may be arranged on opposite axial sides on the axially outer edge of the body 1, starting from both axial ends a compressive force in the direction of the longitudinal axis 1.1 of the body 1 on the flat 1.3 exercise elements.

Selbstverständlich können abweichend von der Figur 1 die flächigen Elemente 1.3 auch in Richtung der Längsachse 1.1 ausgerichtet sein, wobei in diesem Fall auch die Federelemente 1.5 entsprechend ausgerichtet werden sollten.Of course, deviating from the FIG. 1 the planar elements 1.3 should also be aligned in the direction of the longitudinal axis 1.1, in which case the spring elements 1.5 should be aligned accordingly.

Die flächigen Elemente 1.3 gemäß der Figur 1 sind aus einem Schaumstoff, beispielsweise einem PE-Schaum ausgebildet, welcher eine vergleichsweise hohe Dichte aufweist. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass die Poren innerhalb des Schaumes derart gleichmäßig verteilt und klein sind, dass sie keine Spuren auf Röntgenbildern hinterlassen. Die federnden Elemente 1.5 an den Enden des Körpers 1 können aus einem elastischeren Schaum ausgebildet sein, welcher eine geringere Dichte als die flächigen Elemente 1.3 aufweist, um die Elastizität, das heißt das Vermögen der Federelemente, in ihre ursprüngliche ausgedehnte Form zurückzukehren, nachdem sie zusammengedrückt wurden, zu vergrößern. Hierdurch werden Spalte zwischen den Stirnseiten der flächigen Elemente 1.3 vermieden.The sheet-like elements 1.3 according to the FIG. 1 are formed of a foam, for example a PE foam, which has a comparatively high density. This ensures that the pores within the foam are so evenly distributed and small that they leave no trace on X-ray images. The resilient elements 1.5 at the ends of the body 1 may be formed of a more elastic foam which has a lower density than the flat elements 1.3 in order to return the elasticity, that is the ability of the spring elements, to their original expanded shape after being compressed were to enlarge. As a result, gaps between the end faces of the sheet-like elements 1.3 are avoided.

Gemäß einer besonderen Ausführungsform können sowohl in Richtung der Längsachse 1.1 des Körpers 1 als auch in Richtung der Querachse 1.2 des Körpers 1 flächige Elemente 1.3 nebeneinander angeordnet sein. Auch eine diagonale Anordnung ist denkbar. Hierdurch würde eine besonders hohe Flexibilität sowohl in Längsrichtung als auch in Querrichtung des Körpers 1 erreicht.According to a particular embodiment, flat elements 1.3 can be arranged next to one another both in the direction of the longitudinal axis 1.1 of the body 1 and in the direction of the transverse axis 1.2 of the body 1. Even a diagonal arrangement is conceivable. This would be a particularly high Flexibility achieved both in the longitudinal direction and in the transverse direction of the body 1.

In der Figur 1 a wird nochmals das Gleiten des Endlosbandes 2 um den Körper 1 herum verdeutlicht. In der gezeigten Ausführung gleitet das Endlosband 2 in Richtung der Längsachse der flächigen Elemente 1.3, das heißt in Richtung der Querachse 1.2 des Körpers 1.In the FIG. 1 a is again illustrated the sliding of the endless belt 2 around the body 1 around. In the embodiment shown, the endless belt 2 slides in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the flat elements 1.3, that is to say in the direction of the transverse axis 1.2 of the body 1.

In der Figur 2 ist nochmals in einem Ausschnitt die frei aneinander anliegende Anordnung der einzelnen flächigen Elemente 1.3 sowie das freie Anliegen des Federelementes 1.5 am axial äußeren flächigen Element 1.3 dargestellt. Zum besseren Herausstellen des freien Aneinanderanliegens sind in der Figur 2 Zwischenräume zwischen den einzelnen Elementen 1.3 sowie zwischen dem Element 1.5 und dem Element 1.3 dargestellt, welche vorteilhaft in der Praxis nahezu vollständig geschlossen werden.In the FIG. 2 is again in a section, the freely abutting arrangement of the individual sheet-like elements 1.3 and the free concerns of the spring element 1.5 shown on the axially outer surface element 1.3. To better highlight the free Aneinanderanliegens are in the FIG. 2 Spaces between the individual elements 1.3 and shown between the element 1.5 and the element 1.3, which are advantageously closed almost completely in practice.

In der Figur 3 ist in einer Draufsicht eine alternative Ausgestaltung eines Federelementes 1.5 dargestellt, welches in der gezeigten Ausführung in Form einer Blattfeder ausgebildet ist. Selbstverständlich können auch andere Federn, beispielsweise Schraubenfedern, zum Einsatz kommen.In the FIG. 3 is shown in plan view an alternative embodiment of a spring element 1.5, which is formed in the embodiment shown in the form of a leaf spring. Of course, other springs, such as coil springs, are used.

In der Figur 4 ist nochmals ein Radialschnitt durch alternativ gestaltete flächige Elemente 1.3 dargestellt. Wie man erkennt, sind die flächigen Elemente 1.3 im unteren Bereich ihrer Stirnseiten mit einer Phase versehen, wodurch ermöglicht wird, dass ein Aufrollen der Transportvorrichtung zu einer Rolle mit einem besonders kleinen Durchmesser erfolgen kann. Selbstverständlich wäre es auch möglich, alternativ oder zusätzlich die oberen Bereiche der frei aneinander anliegenden Stirnseiten der flächigen Elemente 1.3 mit einer entsprechenden Phase zu versehen, um ein engeres Aufrollen in die entgegengesetzte Richtung zu ermöglichen.In the FIG. 4 is again a radial section through alternatively designed planar elements 1.3 shown. As can be seen, the flat elements 1.3 are provided in the lower region of their end faces with a phase, which is made possible that a rolling of the transport device can be made into a roll with a particularly small diameter. Of course, it would also be possible alternatively or additionally to provide the upper regions of the freely abutting end faces of the sheet-like elements 1.3 with a corresponding phase in order to allow a closer rolling in the opposite direction.

Die dargestellte erfindungsgemäße Transportvorrichtung weist den Vorteil auf, dass sie röntgenfähig und besonders leicht aufrollbar ist. Zudem sind die einzelnen flächigen Elemente, dadurch, dass sie ausschließlich frei aneinander anliegen, relativ zueinander bewegbar, so dass eine besondere Flexibilität der Transportvorrichtung erreicht wird, welche beispielsweise dann günstig ist, wenn ein Patient sitzend von einer ersten in eine zweite Position transportiert wird.The illustrated transport device according to the invention has the advantage that it is radiopaque and very easy to roll up. In addition, the individual planar elements, by virtue of the fact that they lie exclusively free against each other, are movable relative to one another, so that a special flexibility of the transport device is achieved, which is favorable, for example, when a patient is transported sitting from a first to a second position.

Da die erfindungsgemäße Transportvorrichtung eine solche Vielzahl von flächigen Elementen umfasst, dass sie rundgebogen oder aufgerollt werden kann, umfasst die Vielzahl vorteilhaft fünf oder wenigstens fünf flächige Elemente, insbesondere pro Gruppe von flächigen Elementen, wobei, wie oben dargestellt, jede Gruppe insbesondere jeweils in einem gemeinsamen Raum vollständig durch eine Umhüllung umschlossen ist und zwischen den einzelnen Gruppen ein Bereich vorgesehen ist, welcher frei von entsprechenden flächigen Elementen ist.Since the transport device according to the invention comprises such a multiplicity of flat elements that it can be rounded or rolled up, the plurality advantageously comprises five or at least five planar elements, in particular per group of planar elements, wherein, as illustrated above, each group is in each case in particular one common space is completely enclosed by an enclosure and between the individual groups an area is provided, which is free of corresponding planar elements.

Gemäß einer Ausführungsform weist die Transportvorrichtung insgesamt, insbesondere wenn sie mit einer einzigen Gruppe von flächigen Elementen ausgebildet ist, drei oder wenigstens drei flächige Elemente auf oder drei oder wenigstens drei flächige Elemente pro vorgesehener Gruppe.According to one embodiment, the transport device as a whole, in particular if it is formed with a single group of planar elements, comprises three or at least three planar elements or three or at least three planar elements per intended group.

Der Begriff "flächige Elemente" in der vorliegenden Offenbarung soll die Elemente nicht auf solche beschränken, welche eine ebene oder weitgehend ebene Oberfläche aufweisen, sondern die Form der flächigen Elemente kann, wie dargestellt, beliebig sein, solange sie aneinander anlagefähige Stirnseiten aufweisen, um auf einem Röntgenbild keine Grenzspuren zwischen den flächigen Elementen abzuzeichnen oder zumindest weitgehend zu vermeiden.The term "sheet-like elements" in the present disclosure is not intended to limit the elements to those having a flat or substantially planar surface, but the shape of the sheet-like elements may be arbitrary as long as they have abutting facets, as shown To mark an X-ray image no boundary marks between the sheet-like elements or at least largely avoided.

Ausführungsformen von erfindungsgemäß ausgeführten Personentransportvorrichtungen, welche sich in Tests als besonders geeignet erwiesen haben, wiesen eine Länge zwischen 80 und 180 cm auf, wobei die kürzeren Ausführungsformen bis etwa 1 m Länge eine einzige Gruppe von flächigen Elementen aufwiesen und längere Transportvorrichtungen von 1 m bis 1,80 m zwei Gruppen von flächigen Elementen aufwiesen. Bei einer 80 cm langen Personentransportvorrichtung werden vorteilhaft 32 (allgemein zwischen 29 und 35) flächige Elemente in einer einzigen Gruppe angeordnet, wohingegen bei einer 1,80 m langen Ausführung vorteilhaft zwei Gruppen mit je 90 flächigen Elementen (zwischen 85 und 95 flächigen Elementen) verwendet werden, wobei entweder beide Gruppen dieselbe Anzahl von flächigen Elementen aufweisen oder eine Gruppe eine größere Anzahl als die andere aufweisen kann.Embodiments of inventively embodied passenger transport devices, which have been found in tests to be particularly suitable, had a length between 80 and 180 cm, the shorter embodiments to about 1 m in length a single group of had flat elements and had longer transport devices from 1 m to 1.80 m two groups of sheet-like elements. In an 80 cm long passenger transport device advantageously 32 (generally between 29 and 35) planar elements are arranged in a single group, whereas advantageously used in a 1.80 m long design two groups with 90 flat elements (between 85 and 95 flat elements) where either both groups can have the same number of areal elements or one group can have a larger number than the other.
