Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Tragvorrichtung zur Rettung von Personen, insbesondere aus einem Raum mit einer kleinen Zugangsöffnung, wobei die Tragvorrichtung die Personen in einer lang gestreckten Transportstellung aufnimmt.The invention relates to a support device for rescuing persons, in particular from a room with a small access opening, wherein the support device receives the persons in an elongated transport position.

Aus der DE 20 2005 003 316 U ist bereits eine Vorrichtung zur Rettung von Personen aus Räumen mit kleinen Zugangsöffnungen bekannt. Es kommt eine die zu bergende Person aufnehmende Transporteinrichtung zum Einsatz, die zur Fixierung der aufgenommenen Person in einer lang gestreckten Transportstellung ausgebildet und deren Außenkontur auf die Zugangsöffnung abgestimmt ist.From the DE 20 2005 003 316 U already a device for the rescue of persons from rooms with small access openings is known. There is a person to be sheltered receiving transport device used, which is designed to fix the recorded person in an elongated transport position and the outer contour is matched to the access opening.

Gelegentlich ist es erforderlich, geschlossene Räume oder Behälter wie beispielsweise Trockenzylinder oder auch andere Behälter, wie beispielsweise Dampfkessel in einer Maschine zur Herstellung einer Faserstoffbahn, insbesondere einer Papier- oder Kartonbahn, zu Montage-, Umrüstungs-, Reparatur- oder Wartungszwecken zu betreten, wozu eine oder mehrere Personen durch eine verhältnismäßig kleine Zugangsöffnung, beispielsweise eine ovale Zugangsöffnung den Raum bzw. den Behälter betreten müssen.Occasionally, it is necessary to enter closed spaces or containers such as drying cylinders or other containers, such as steam boiler in a machine for producing a fibrous web, in particular a paper or board web, for assembly, conversion, repair or maintenance purposes, including one or more persons must enter the room or container through a relatively small access opening, for example an oval access opening.

Die Höhen- und Breitenabmessungen einer derartigen elliptischen Öffnung liegen zwischen 280 und 300 mm einerseits und zwischen 380 und 400 mm andererseits. Für den Fall, dass eine Person bei den Arbeiten verletzt oder bewusstlos wird, ist es erforderlich, diese aus dem Behälter zu bergen, wobei eine weitere Schwierigkeit darin besteht, dass auch außerhalb des Behälters oft enge Raumverhältnisse bestehen.The height and width dimensions of such an elliptical opening are between 280 and 300 mm on the one hand and between 380 and 400 mm on the other hand. In the event that a person becomes injured or unconscious during the work, it is necessary to retrieve it from the container, with the further difficulty that there are often tight spaces outside the container as well.

Die bekannte Vorrichtung ist als geschlossene oder teilweise geschlossene Röhre ausgestaltet, die es erlaubt, eine beispielsweise verletzte oder bewusstlose Person in einer lang gestreckten, insbesondere liegenden Transportstellung mit entweder seitlich anliegenden oder nach oben ausgestreckten Armen zu fixieren und anschließend die Transporteinrichtung mit der darin befindlichen Person durch die Zugangsöffnung zu schieben.The known device is designed as a closed or partially closed tube, which allows to fix an injured or unconscious person in an elongated, in particular lying transport position with either laterally adjacent or upwardly outstretched arms and then the transport device with the person therein to push through the access opening.

Aus der US 2,394,264 ist ebenfalls eine Tragvorrichtung zur Rettung von Personen mit einem im Wesentlichen bogenförmig ausgebildeten, nach oben offenen Aufliegeteil bekannt.From the US 2,394,264 is also a support device for the rescue of persons with a substantially arcuate, upwardly open Aufliegeteil known.

Es ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine einfacher ausgebildete Vorrichtung zur Rettung von Personen aus einem Behälter mit einer engen Zugangsöffnung zu schaffen, die insbesondere auch unter beengten Platzverhältnissen eingesetzt werden kann.It is the object of the invention to provide a simpler device for the rescue of persons from a container with a narrow access opening, which can be used in particular in confined spaces.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe bei einer Tragvorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, dass das Mittelteil ein verjüngtes Kopfende und ein verjüngtes Fußende aufweist, d. h. ein Kopf- und ein Fußende, die jeweils einen gegenüber dem Mittelteil verringerten Umfang und Durchmesser bzw. vergrösserte Krümmung aufweisen. Durch diese an dem Kopf-und Fußende verjüngte Form wird eine der Körperkontur angepasste "stromlinienförmige" Kontur erzielt.According to the invention this object is achieved in a supporting device of the type mentioned above in that the central part has a tapered head end and a tapered foot, d. H. a head and a foot, each having a reduced relative to the central part circumference and diameter or increased curvature. By this at the head and foot tapered shape of the body contour adapted "streamlined" contour is achieved.

Dadurch erhält die Tragvorrichtung auch einen stabilen Aufbau.As a result, the support device also receives a stable construction.

Durch die offene Ausgestaltung bekommt die zu bergende Person in der Tragvorrichtung keine Platzangst. Die Tragvorrichtung ist universell einsetzbar. Die zu bergende Person wird in der Tragvorrichtung bevorzugt auf den Rücken gelegt, wobei Hände und Arme über dem Kopf fixiert werden können. Bevorzugt mit dem Kopfende voran wird die Person aus dem Behälter herausgeschoben oder herausgezogen.Due to the open design gets the person to be sheltered in the support no fear of space. The support device is universally applicable. The person to be rescued is preferably placed in the carrying device on the back, with hands and arms can be fixed over the head. Preferably with the head end first, the person is pushed out of the container or pulled out.

Selbstverständlich ist es jedoch auch möglich, die Arme neben dem Rumpf der Person festzulegen, wenn der Platz innerhalb des Mittelteils dies zulässt.Of course, it is also possible to set the arms next to the person's torso, if the space within the middle part allows it.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung lässt sich in vorteilhafter Weise die Handauflage aus dem Mittelteil herausziehen, wenn sie beispielsweise am Kopfende des Mittelteils angeordnet ist. Ebenso kann die Handauflage dann auch von dem Mittelteil abnehmbar angeordnet sein.In a further embodiment of the invention, the hand rest can be pulled out of the central part in an advantageous manner, if it is arranged for example at the head end of the middle part. Likewise, the hand rest can then be arranged removably from the middle part.

Von Vorteil ist es ebenso, wenn an der Handauflage mindestens ein Haltegurt angebracht ist, um hiermit die Hände der zu transportierenden Person an der Handauflage zu fixieren.It is also advantageous if at least one tether is attached to the palm rest to hereby fix the hands of the person to be transported on the palm rest.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist an dem Mittelteil eine Fußauflage zur Abstützung der Füße und gegebenenfalls auch der Unterschenkel angebracht oder an dieses anbringbar, wenn das Mittelteil keine ausreichende Länge aufweist, um auch Personen mit größerer Körperlänge aufzunehmen. Wenn jedoch eine Fußauflage zum Einsatz kommt, lässt sich die Länge des Mittelteils auf ca. 1200 mm bis 1500 mm beschränken, wodurch eine minimale Längserstreckung erreicht wird. Befinden sich die Hände und Arme der zu transportierenden Person außerhalb des Behälters, dann können diese vorteilhafterweise oder auch gezwungenermaßen während des weiteren Herausziehens der Person nach hinten geschwenkt und an den Körper angelegt werden.In a further embodiment of the invention, a footrest for supporting the feet and possibly also the lower leg is attached to the central part or attached to this, if the central part does not have sufficient length to accommodate even persons with greater body length. However, if a footrest is used, the length of the central part can be limited to about 1200 mm to 1500 mm, whereby a minimum longitudinal extension is achieved. If the hands and arms of the person to be transported are located outside the container, then they can be advantageously or even forcedly pivoted backwards during the further withdrawal of the person and applied to the body.

Auch die Fußauflage lässt sich aus dem Mittelteil herausziehen und/oder schwenken, insbesondere in horizontaler und/oder vertikaler Richtung; ebenso lässt sich vorsehen, dass das Fußteil von dem Mittelteil abgenommen werden kann. Im nicht benutzten Zustand der Tragvorrichtung wird die Fußauflage vorzugsweise in den Mittelteil eingeschoben. Durch eine federbelastete Befestigung bleibt sie automatisch in dieser Position.The footrest can also be pulled out of the central part and / or pivot, in particular in the horizontal and / or vertical direction; Similarly, it can be provided that the foot can be removed from the middle part. In the unused state of the support device, the footrest is preferably inserted into the middle part. By a spring-loaded attachment, it automatically remains in this position.

Auch an der Fußauflage wird mit Vorteil mindestens ein Haltegurt angebracht, um die Füße der zu bergenden Person zu fixieren.Also on the footrest is advantageously attached at least one tether to fix the feet of the person to be sheltered.
