The invention relates to a rescue cage for a Hubrettungsfahrzeug, in particular a fire truck with aerial ladder, comprising a basket bottom, a Korbumwehrung and at least one particular columnar trained and towering from the basket bottom support element, which is arranged at least one support element in an outer edge region of the basket bottom. Furthermore, the invention also relates to a rescue rescue vehicle equipped with such a rescue vehicle, as described in the preamble of claim 15.

The EP 2 374 749 A1 describes a rescue basket for fire fighting with a suspension for connecting the rescue cage with one end of a ladder. The rescue cage comprises a basket bottom and a basket surround fixedly connected to the basket bottom, which is arranged at least in the region of a basket front side, in the region of a left and right side of the basket and in the region of a rear side of the basket. Furthermore, the Korbumwehrung is fixedly connected to the basket bottom and has columnar-shaped uprights. The stanchions are at least partially cladding elements attached. In the area of the back of the basket, a recess in the basket surround is formed, which can be closed at the height of a handrail with a safety bar. In the basket bottom, a large recess is arranged, in which an underbody module slidably inserted from the back of the rescue cage in the recess and connected to the suspension for connection to the ladder. The underbody module forms in its located in the recess position of a part of the basket bottom as a base for a person in the rescue cage. Furthermore, pivoting doors are arranged on the underbody module in the region of the rear side of the basket and are pivotally mounted on further uprights arranged in an upright position by the underbody module. The other posts are fixed to the underbody module connected to the basket front, the Korbumwehrung on an additional front panel. The provision of the underbody module provides the possibility to separate the rescue cage from the underbody module and to leave the subfloor module mounted with its relative to the rescue cage to smaller dimension while driving to the job site at the head end. The detached rescue cage can be transported separately from the ladder set on the emergency vehicle.

Furthermore, the possibility is also created of attaching differently shaped rescue baskets to the ladder set by means of the underbody module.

From the DE 20 2006 019 106 U1 is a rescue cage for receiving a stretcher with coupling device for rescuing persons from greater ups and downs has become known. Also, this rescue basket includes a basket bottom and a fixed connected to the basket bottom Korbumwehrung, which includes a plurality of basket floor towering uprights. The individual posts are connected to each other by means of struts. At the side facing away from the basket bottom of the uprights these are connected to a handrail. In the area of the front of the basket, the Korbumwehrung on two swing doors, which allow in their pivoted position access to the rescue basket and the inclusion of a platform as a stretcher receiving device. Furthermore, a receiving bushing is arranged in the basket bottom, in which a fixed to the underside of the platform latching bolt can be inserted for pivotally mounting the platform. In addition, in the front door area, a pivoting pedestal is connected to the basket bottom, which forms a part of the Korbumwehrung in the folded position. In the folded down position, the pedestal serves as additional support for the platform supported on the basket bottom and protruding beyond the front of the basket. The pedestal can also be used to easily accommodate a wheelchair in the rescue cage when the platform is not needed. Due to the fixed connection of the Korbumwehrung with the basket bottom, only that area of the Korbumwehrung can be opened for receiving the platform and the male stretcher to be picked thereon, in which the swing doors are arranged.

In previous Hubrettungsfahrzeugen, in particular with an aerial ladder, and the rescue basket arranged thereon was at least one so-called multi-functional column at the outer peripheral portion of the rescue basket fixedly arranged on this for receiving and holding a hospital storage. This multifunctional column protrudes from the bottom of the basket into the area of the handrail or upper guardrail. At the end region facing away from the basket bottom, the at least one multifunctional column has a receiving device for a connection element connectable therewith. The connecting element may be arranged on the hospital truss bearing or another attachment, such as a water gun, a Löschmitteldüse, a headlight or the like. Since the height of the multi-function column is chosen so that it extends into the area of the handrail ranges, is the trolley storage above the handrail and can be pivoted or twisted depending on the design of the bearing by a large angle range as needed with respect to the rescue cage. In this case, the arrangement of the at least one multi-function column in the region of the left and / or right side of the basket can be done. In another embodiment, two multi-functional columns have been fixedly secured in a central portion of the basket front to the bottom of the basket. A disadvantage of the lateral recording of the ambulance storage on the rescue cage introduced on the ladder set torsional moment. Furthermore, the handling, in particular the immediate assistance by the helper or the rescue personnel, on the patient carried on the stretcher storage stretcher is difficult because of the located high above the basket bottom position.

The present invention has for its object to provide a rescue cage for a Hubrettungsfahrzeug, in particular with an aerial ladder, as well as equipped with such a rescue cage Hubrettungsfahrzeug, in which the handling of the patient easier and better care of the same during the rescue operation is possible. Furthermore, but also independent of the inclusion of at least one person sitting on a wheelchair or a stretcher chair persons in this rescue basket should be made easier and more power saving for the rescue personnel. In addition, a high possibility of variation of the rescue cage for a wide variety of operating conditions should generally be created.

This object of the invention is achieved in that at least one first Aufhahmevorrichtung is arranged or formed on the basket bottom in the region of at least one disposed in the outer edge region of the basket bottom support member, and the at least one first receiving device is formed as a sleeve. The at least one support element has, on its side facing the bottom of the basket, a first connection element, which first connection element can be detachably connected, if necessary, to the first receiving device. The first connecting element is designed as a plug-in pin, wherein the plug-in pin is connected to a bottom of the basket facing the end of the support element. When the support element is removed from the first receiving device, at least one second connecting element arranged or formed on an accessory part can be detachably connected to the first receiving device as required.

The advantages achieved thereby are that even with turntables with a rescue cage the possibility can be created to open this otherwise accessible only through narrow passages or access openings basket bottom in the region of its front basket so far that near the bottom of a person receiving unit can be attached if necessary , As a result of the design of the first receiving device as a sleeve, a receptacle of the first connecting element together with the supporting element or even a second connecting element of an accessory or a person receiving unit can thus be accommodated in the smallest space. This allows a simple combination option for a variety of applications can be created. By removing the at least one support element of the first receiving device, the possibility is created that released by removing it in the bottom area of the rescue cage, the corresponding receptacle and for an accessory or a functional element connected to a first receiving device connecting element and thus can be held on the rescue cage , Furthermore, but also a high degree of flexibility of the rescue cage is achieved, since in this after the removal of the support element in the vacant recording device, the most diverse tools can be used and maintained.

Due to the possibility now created, parts of the Korbumwehrung removable, displaced or fold away form, so the care of the person to be rescued and the subsequent handling of the stretcher for the auxiliary staff is much easier. This creates a reversible conversion possibility of a closed Umwehrungsstruktur the rescue cage to a basket in the area of his Korbumwehrung, especially its front, freely accessible basket bottom and back to the full closed training. Compared with the otherwise usual arrangement of trained as a stretcher receiving device person receiving unit above the handrail, in which a direct intensive care, such as a resuscitation during transport in the rescue cage is difficult to impossible, this is greatly simplified in the close-up recording in the rescue cage. If, on the other hand, the person to be rescued or rescued is close to the bottom of the basket bottom, immediate rescue measures can be taken immediately after receiving the stretcher on the person receiving unit and these can be carried out until further rescue personnel are present on the ground. It will continue but also facilitates the subsequent removal of the stretcher from the stretcher receiving device in the area of the footprint or the terrain of the Hubrettungsfahrzeugs, since the removal height can be lowered to near the ground level. If, on the other hand, a wheelchair or a stretcher chair is accommodated in the rescue cage for rescue purposes together with a person, a discharge close to the floor can also be carried out here simply. This opening can thus be done if necessary, in normal use for firefighters or other rescue and rescue the Korbumwehrung protects the person or persons located in the rescue cage from falling.

Furthermore, it is advantageous if a first locking element is arranged or formed on the at least one supporting element, in particular on its first connecting element, or on the at least one second connecting element of the accessory, and on the at least one first receiving device, a second locking element, which arresting elements in the interconnected position of the first connecting element and the first receiving device or the second connecting element and the first receiving device engage with each other and each form a locking device. As a result, an unintentional removal of the support element, in particular if this part of the Korbumwehrung is prevented. By arranging or providing the locking elements and the locking device formed therefrom, a secure positional fixation can be created until the locking device is deliberately released. This can significantly increase the safety of the person in the rescue cage. In this case, a multiple locking or Mehrfacharretierung is possible. Furthermore, so that a variety of accessories, in particular the people receiving units, with the at least disposed thereon second connection element also locked in the rescue cage are kept. This also prevents inadvertent loosening of the accessories from the rescue cage.

Another possible embodiment has the features that the at least second connecting element of the accessory with the interposition of at least one spacer element, if necessary, releasably connected to the first receiving device is connected. Thus, by arranging the additional spacer element, the distance of the accessory, in particular of the person receiving unit, from which the base surface defining basket bottom varies become. This can create an even more universal possibility of using the rescue cage with the attached accessory.

A further embodiment provides that, in particular in a middle section of the basket front side and in the longitudinal extent thereof, a plurality of, in particular two, spaced-apart first receiving devices are arranged or formed on the basket bottom. This creates the possibility of being able to position the support element or elements in different positions on the rescue cage. In addition, however, as well as several support elements next to each other in the region of the basket circumference, if necessary, be releasably secured. As a result, an even greater possibility of variation for the opening of the basket surround the rescue cage can be created. Furthermore, but also a mutually different placement of the accessories, in particular the person receiving unit, can be achieved on the rescue cage.

Another embodiment is characterized in that in each case one of the support elements can be fastened to each of the first receiving devices, wherein the support elements are connected to one another, in particular in the region of their ends facing away from the basket bottom, via at least one connecting element extending between them. This can be created in particular in the area of the front basket side with mounted support elements a secure conclusion and the formation of the Korbumwehrung. Furthermore, the free space formed between the two support elements can also serve as access opening, which can be closed as required by arranging a folding ladder.

A further preferred embodiment is characterized in that the at least one support element has a second receiving device in its end region facing away from the basket bottom, wherein the second connection element of the accessory can be detachably connected to the second receiving device if required. By providing the second receiving device, an attachment can be detachably held on the support basket arranged on the rescue cage, if necessary. In addition, however, the possibility is also created to be able to hold the person receiving unit, in particular the stretcher receiving device, in a position distanced from the basket bottom.

Furthermore, it is advantageous if the Korbumwehrung has at least one closable access opening, which access opening is arranged in particular in the region of the basket front. Thus, a lighter approach can be achieved or leaving the rescue cage for the rescue services and the operator can be facilitated. By providing the closable access opening so that despite the removable support elements in the presence of an entry into the rescue cage or leaving the same easily be made possible. If the access opening is provided in the area of the front of the basket, a larger opening width of the front of the basket can thus be achieved when the or the support elements are removed. So can be done with little effort, a rapid reconstruction of the rescue cage and thus at this the various accessories, in particular the person receiving unit, are arranged and fixed.

A further possible embodiment has the features that the at least one closable access opening extends from the at least one support element into the region of the left and / or right-hand basket side. This creates the possibility of achieving the largest possible opening width of the rescue cage in the area of its front basket. Since the access openings are usually closed by swiveling or sliding doors, the opening of the basket front side can also be carried out quickly and without the aid of auxiliary tools for the conversion for receiving the person receiving unit. Furthermore, almost the perfect width or length of the front of the basket can thus be easily opened, and a large receiving space is available on the rescue cage. This can be easily loaded or unloaded in ground level location.

Another embodiment is characterized in that the rescue cage and / or the accessory at least one adjusting means, in particular a winch, a chain hoist, a pulley, a linear drive, a spindle drive, a rack drive, a fluid-actuated drive, or a deflection roller is arranged. Thus, the inclusion of the stretcher or a wheelchair or a stretcher chair on the person receiving unit for the rescue personnel is much easier. The support of the actuating means thus makes it possible to more easily transport even heavier persons, for example via ramps or other aids, into the area of the rescue cage and the person-receiving unit arranged there.

Furthermore, it is advantageous if the actuating means is connected by means of a coupling device, if necessary releasably connected to the accessory. This allows even greater flexibility in rescue operations and rapid conversion to changing conditions of use.

A further preferred embodiment is characterized in that the accessory is selected from the group of headlamps, high-pressure ventilators, water cannons or holders thereof, ramp, person receiving unit such as stretcher receiving device, stretcher chair receiving device or wheelchair receiving device. Due to the different designs of the male accessories a more universal use of the rescue cage is made possible. Thus, a change or conversion from one accessory to another accessory can be done quickly, which can be responded to changing conditions quickly.

Another possible embodiment has the features that the ramp is arranged on the accessory formed as a person receiving unit, which is in particular releasably held thereto. Thus, the acquisition or transfer of the stretcher, the wheelchair or stretcher chair on the person receiving unit or the rescue cage can be substantially facilitated. Furthermore, the possibility can also be created to form an additional platform as an extension of the respective person receiving unit in order to be able to bridge larger distances between buildings and the rescue cage.

Another embodiment is characterized in that the ramp is designed to be pivotable. Thus, after receiving the respective transport or rescue means on the person receiving unit as well as for the subsequent transport in the area of the rescue cage an additional safeguard against unintentional shifting up to the crash can be created.

A further preferred embodiment is characterized in that the ramp can be locked in at least one of its pivotal positions by means of a locking device is. This can be an even better protection against unwanted shifts are created.

The object of the invention is, however, independently solved by the features of claim 15. The advantages resulting from the combination of features of this claim are that so also in turntables with a rescue cage the possibility is created to open this otherwise accessible only through narrow passages or access openings basket bottom in the area of his Korbumwehrung so far that near the bottom of an accessory , In particular, a person receiving unit can be attached if necessary. Due to the possibility now created, parts of the Korbumwehrung removable or fold away form, thus the care and the subsequent handling of the stretcher for the auxiliary staff is much easier. Furthermore, due to the roughly central arrangement of the person receiving unit with respect to the longitudinal extension of the ladder set, the rotary ladder can introduce a smaller eccentric introduction of force onto the rotary ladder. Thus, twisting of individual conductors of the ladder set of the turntable can be reduced or even avoided.

Compared to the otherwise usual arrangement of the person receiving unit, in particular the stretcher receiving device, above the handrail, in which a direct intensive care, such as a resuscitation during transport in the rescue cage is difficult, if not impossible at all, this is much easier at the ground level recording. In addition, as well as the removal in the ground area can be significantly facilitated by the rescue personnel, since the removal height can be lowered to near the ground level and thus the footprint of the Hubrettungsfahrzeugs. If, on the other hand, the person to be rescued is close to the floor of the basket bottom, immediate action can be taken immediately after receiving the stretcher on the person receiving unit with life-saving immediate measures and these are carried out until further rescue personnel are present at the ground. This opening can thus be done if necessary, in normal use for firefighters or other rescue and rescue the Korbumwehrung protects the person or persons located in the rescue cage from falling.

Furthermore, it can be provided that on the person receiving unit, in particular a stretcher receiving device, stretcher chair receiving device or wheelchair pickup device, an adjusting means, in particular a winch, a chain hoist, a pulley, a linear drive, a spindle drive, a rack drive, a pressure medium-actuated drive is arranged. Thus, the inclusion of the stretcher or a wheelchair or a stretcher chair on the person receiving unit for the rescue personnel is much easier. The support of the actuating means thus makes it possible to more easily transport even heavier persons, for example via ramps or other aids, into the area of the rescue cage and the person-receiving unit arranged there.

Another possible embodiment has the features that the adjusting means by means of a coupling device, if necessary, detachable with the person receiving unit, in particular a base frame, is connected. This can be done simply as needed, a retooling and only if an additional tensile force is needed, the designated actuating means can be coupled and thus held.

Furthermore, it is advantageous if a ramp is arranged on the person receiving unit, which is in particular releasably held thereto. Thus, an additional tool for the loading or unloading process can be arranged quickly on site as needed and purpose. Thus, a more universal use of the person receiving unit can be achieved.

Finally, a further embodiment provides that the ramp is designed to be pivotable and in particular can be locked in at least one of its pivotal positions by means of a locking device. This makes it possible for the loading process or the unloading process to be adapted even better to different height levels. In addition, however, at the same time a protective and / or securing effect for the recorded person can be achieved at the same time even with the corresponding position.

For a better understanding of the invention, this will be explained in more detail with reference to the following figures.

The term "in particular" is understood below to mean that it may be a possible more specific training or specification of an item, but not necessarily a compelling, preferred embodiment of the same must represent.

In the Fig. 1 is simplified a Hubrettungsfahrzeug 1 shown, which can be used in the fire department or other relief and / or rescue organizations. The Hubrettungsfahrzeug 1 can also serve only for firefighting, but also people or animal rescue operations or technical assistance in different heights or depths can be performed with it. Thus, in the present exemplary embodiment, the rescue vehicle 1 can comprise a chassis 2 shown only in simplified form, an aerial ladder 3 arranged thereon with a ladder set and a rescue cage 4 held on the ladder set of the rotary ladder 3. The turntable 3 comprises a rotary or pivoting arrangement, by means of which the ladder set can be adjusted accordingly.

The Hubrettungsfahrzeug 1 but could also have a telescopic or articulated mast in place of the aerial ladder. The rescue cage 4 is usually arranged on a side facing away from the chassis 2 or from the rotary or swivel assembly end of the ladder set of turntable 3 and can be pivoted or adjusted as needed for the approach or departure to and from the site and during normal use ,

In the following, the rescue cage 4 is shown and described by itself, wherein the holder or storage on the turntable 3 is not discussed in more detail. For the training of the rescue cage 4 is also referred to the applicable standards, which also tried to make a corresponding term selection.

In the Fig. 2 to 9 the rescue cage 4 is shown in various views and different examples of application, wherein this comprises a basket bottom 5, a basket surround 6 and at least one, in particular columnar trained support member 7. The support element 7 can also be referred to as a multifunctional column. The basket bottom 5 can also be referred to as platform or working platform. The Korbumwehrung 6 serves to protect those on the basket bottom 5 person or persons from falling and also optionally protect against heat and / or radiation. Thus, the Korbumwehrung 6 may also be referred to as a protective device, which may be formed from a variety of individual component components. Thus, it is provided here that the support element or elements 7 are designed to be removable or removable from the basket bottom 5 as required.

The basket casing 6 may e.g. a handrail, baseboards in the region of the basket bottom 5, an upper guardrail and / or a plurality of additional uprights 30 or columns. The additional posts 30 are arranged in the lateral region of the rescue cage 4 in this exemplary embodiment. The one or more uprights 30 are usually fixed to the rescue cage 4, in particular the basket bottom 5 is connected. It should be noted that the arrangement of the or the support elements 7 and the or the uprights 30 has been shown only by way of example and any other arrangement thereof is possible. It would also be possible to form the Korbumwehrung 6 only by removable support elements 7 or from individual formed by the support members 7, related parapet parts. Thus, the entire Korbumwehrung 6 can be removed from the basket bottom 5.

In order to allow access within the Korbumwehrung 6 to reach the basket bottom 5, one or more closable access openings 8 can be arranged or formed in the region of the Korbumwehrung 6. The access opening 8 may e.g. be formed closable by means of a hinged door, a folding ladder, a sliding door, a folding door or the like. The handrail may additionally be arranged above the access opening 8. The at least one closable access opening 8 is arranged in the present embodiment in the region of the front basket side 9, but this can also be arranged in the corner region and / or another basket side of the basket reinforcement 6.

The Korbumwehrung 6 is arranged in this embodiment in the region of a basket front side 9, in the region of a left and / or right basket side 10, 11 and possibly also in the region of a rear basket side 12.

Furthermore, the rescue cage 4, in particular its Korbumwehrung 6, also at least one, but preferably more of the columnar-like support elements 7. The columnar support elements 7 project from the basket bottom 5 and are arranged in the outer edge region of the basket bottom 5 at this. In the present embodiment, two support elements 7 are arranged in the central portion 13 in the region of the basket front side 9, which in addition to increase the inherent rigidity and formation of a frame element in particular in the region of their ends facing away from the basket bottom 5 over at least one connecting element 14 extending between these - in the present exemplary embodiment a spar - can be connected to one another. However, the connecting element 14 can also be formed by another component, for example a sheet metal part, a flat iron or the like. It is possible to form from at least two support elements 7 and one or more connecting elements 14 a matching parapet part, which is collectively removable from the basket bottom 5.

The one or more support elements 7 have a height or length that they extend from the basket bottom 5 to approximately the area of the handrail. This is located at least 1.1 m above the defined by the basket bottom 5 footprint. This height is currently the applicable standard and should be adjusted accordingly.

As already described above, a folding ladder can be arranged between the two, in particular columnar, support elements 7, which in the folded-in position closes the gap forming the access opening 8. Furthermore, at least one further, closable access opening 8 can also extend from the at least one support element 7 into the region of the left-hand basket side 10 and / or the right-hand basket side 11. The at least one closable access opening 8 is preferably arranged on both sides of the at least one support element 7. The access opening 8 can also be arranged several times and so also in the corner and / or at least one of the other sides of the basket 10 to 12.

In the present exemplary embodiment, the further access openings 8 arranged on both sides of the two columnar support elements 7 can each be closed by means of an inwardly openable hinged door or door.

In order to be able to form a nearly free access into the rescue cage 4 from its basket front side 9 or from the basket bottom 5 to the front basket reinforcement 6, it is provided here that at the basket bottom 5 in the region of at least one support element 7, Favor in both of Support elements 7, at least a first receiving device 15 is arranged or formed.

The at least one columnar support element 7 has on its side facing the basket bottom 5 a first connecting element 16. If necessary, the first connecting element 16 can be detachably connected to the first receiving device 15. This makes it possible, if necessary, to be able to remove the two support elements 7 in the region of the front basket side 9 from the rescue cage 4, or in the present exemplary embodiment. This removal can be done by removing, moving or pivoting. If two or more such support elements 7 are provided, a separate first receiving device 15 in the region of the basket bottom 5 is to be arranged or formed for each of the support elements 7 as well.

As a consequence, the at least one further access opening 8 arranged on both sides of the columnar support elements 7 and closed by the hinged door or swinging door can also be opened by pivoting it away. In this way, when the access openings 8 are opened on both sides, almost the full width of the basket bottom 5 in the region of its basket front side 9 can be released. This is best from the Fig. 3 to see. In the area of the basket front side 9, the two first receiving devices 15 can also be seen in the region of the basket bottom 5.

Due to the possibility now created to be able to open the Korbumwehrung 6 to a certain extent by removing at least one of the support members 7, in the at least one vacant first receiving device 15, an accessory 17 with a suitably trained counterpart can be held. The accessory 17 may be selected from the group of headlamps, high-pressure ventilators, water cannons or holders thereof, ramp, person receiving unit such as stretcher receiving device, stretcher chair receiving device or wheelchair picking device.

How now from the Fig. 4 can be seen, after releasing the basket front side 9, for example, the trained here as a person receiving unit accessory 17 mounted near the ground in the rescue cage 4 or recorded. The person receiving unit is formed in this embodiment as a stretcher receiving device, wherein the following description refers to this embodiment.

At least a second connecting element 18 is arranged or formed on the person receiving unit. For holding or attaching the person receiving unit to the rescue cage 4, the second connecting element 18 with the first receiving device 15, if necessary, releasably connectable. The person receiving unit may also have a pivot bearing, whereby the relative angular position of the person receiving unit with respect to the longitudinal orientation of the ladder set of the rotary ladder 3 is adjustable within certain limits. This can be done by the operator or rescue person in the course of the recording process of the stretcher with the patient to be transported. As a result, depending on the position of the rescue cage 4 with respect to the picking direction of the stretcher, a certain alignment can take place.

In addition, the columnar support element 7 may have a second receiving device 19 in its end region remote from the basket bottom 5 - see Fig. 2 , Thus, in the bottom of the basket 5 held on the first receiving device 15 support member 7 in the height of the handrail not shown further accessory 17 or other attachment, such as a water cannon, a Löschmitteldüse, a headlight, a cable drum, a hose reel , A hose reel or the like as needed attached thereto, in particular, if necessary, releasably connected. Furthermore, there is also the possibility of the person receiving unit with its at least one second connecting element 18, if necessary, releasably connected to the second receiving device 19.

To facilitate the postponement movement of the person to be accommodated on the support unit including patient can be arranged on the rescue cage 4, in the region of the rear basket side 12 and / or directly to the person receiving unit 20. The adjusting means 20 may be formed for example by a winch, a chain hoist, a pulley a linear drive, a spindle drive, a rack drive, a fluid-operated drive, or a deflection roller or the like. The pressure-medium-actuated drive can be, for example, a hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder. Furthermore, however, the adjusting means 20 can also be in drive connection with a drive unit in order to effect the required force application. The combination of the person receiving unit with the actuating means 20 may optionally represent an independent invention in itself. If the actuating means exerts a tensile force, this can also be referred to as traction means.

For holding or fixing the adjusting means 20 to the rescue cage 4, e.g. in the region of the rear side of the basket 12, a column-shaped support member 7 or a post 30 may be arranged and the adjusting means 20 with the arranged at the upper end portion of the support member 7 or the post 30 or second receiving device 19, if necessary, be releasably connected. For this purpose, however, the adjusting means 20 should also be equipped with at least one second connecting element 18, which can be detachably connected to the second receiving device 19 as required.

Furthermore, the adjusting means 20 could also be connected in the bottom area of the rescue cage 4 with a specially provided first receiving device 15. In addition, however, could also be the adjusting means 20 by means of a coupling device 31, if necessary releasably connected to the accessory 17 and / or the rescue cage 4. The actuating means 20 serves to carry the stretcher or stretcher, the wheelchair or the stretcher chair together with each person thereon easier and more efficient on the person receiving unit, in particular the stretcher receiving device, the wheelchair pick-up device or the stretcher chair receiving device, in particular. The stretcher or stretcher, the wheelchair or stretcher chair can also be generally referred to as a means of transport, which can be accommodated depending on its training on a trained accordingly receiving unit. This is usually done by a tensile force.

Furthermore, it would also be possible for a ramp 32, which is in particular detachably held thereon, to be arranged on the accessory 17, in particular the stretcher receiving device, designed as a person receiving unit. The ramp 32 may also be designed to be pivotable in order to be able to set different positions or positions thereof relative to the person receiving unit, in particular the patient carrier receiving device. In addition, the ramp 32 may be lockable in at least one of its pivotal positions by means of a locking device 33.

The person receiving unit can be designed differently and adapted in its execution to the respective requirements. To accommodate a stretcher, even in the different size training depending on body size and / or mass or weight of the patient, this is generally used as a stretcher receiving device or ambulance storage designated. Due to the possibility of preferably in the area of the basket front side 9 almost open trained Korbumwehrung 6 and the ground-level arrangement of the person receiving unit, the assistant or rescue person much better the recorded person, especially the patient, supervise. This especially if even during the removal in the rescue cage 4 must be started immediately with life-saving immediate measures. For this purpose, the patient is preferably recorded with his head and shoulder area in the direction of the back of the basket 12 pointing in the rescue cage 4. Thus, the legs may protrude to the side facing away from the back of the basket 12 on the front side of the basket 9, but are supported by the stretcher and by the person receiving unit. For the resuscitation to be carried out, the assistant or rescue person can thus assume a considerably more ergonomic and more energy-saving posture in the heart massage than would be the case with an arrangement of the person receiving unit above the handrail.

How better of the Fig. 5 can be seen, at the at least one columnar and removably formed support member 7, a first locking member 21 may be arranged or formed. The first locking element 21 may preferably be provided or arranged in the region of the first connecting element 16. At the at least one first receiving device 15, a second locking element 22 is arranged or formed, wherein in locking engagement elements 21, 22, these form a locking device 23. This takes place when the first connecting element 16 is also in the position connected and / or coupled to the first receiving device 15. Thus, this or the support elements 7 can be secured against accidental removal of the rescue cage 4.

If at least one of the support elements 7 has now been removed from the first receiving device 15 with its first connecting element 16, the first receiving device 15 is available for receiving another connecting element. Thus, as described above, for example, a required accessory 17 with its at least one second connecting element 18 can be connected to the first receiving device 15 provided for this purpose. In order to achieve an unintentional loosening and / or additional fixation here too, the first locking element 21 can also be arranged or formed on the at least one second connecting element 18. This can now also with the first Receiving device 15 arranged or formed second locking element 22 are brought into engagement to form the locking device 23. Thus, the accessory 17 can be locked or kept fixed.

In order to support the accessory 17, in particular the person receiving unit designed as a stretcher receiving device, at a predetermined distance above the contact surface defined by the basket bottom 5, it would also be possible for the at least second connecting element 18 of the accessory 17 with the interposition of at least one spacer element, not shown releasably connect to the first receiving device 15. The formation of the at least one spacer element can be carried out analogously to the formation of the support element 7, wherein, however, the length or height can be designed to be shorter or shorter or even longer in comparison.

The support element 7 is usually tubular. The first connection element 16 is designed as a plug-in pin 24 which is connected to the end of the support element 7 facing the basket bottom 5. In this case, the plug-in pin 24 protrude with a spigot 25 in the tubular support member 7. The end region of the plug-in pin 24 may be tapered conically or wedge-shaped at least in sections. Furthermore, a front end 26 of the support member 7 may be supported on a mostly flange-shaped projection 27 of the spigot 24 in the axial direction. The projection 27 can serve as a support member for the entire support member 7 and cause an axial support on the first receiving device 15.

The first receiving device 15 is designed here as a sleeve 28, which has in its interior a substantially opposite to the spigot 24 formed spatial form. Thus, a recording and, associated therewith, a certain centering of the plug-in pin 24 and the associated support element 7 in the first receiving device 15 can be achieved. In the axial direction, the sleeve 28 may be supported thereon by a flange 29 disposed or formed thereon.

Another possibility of an embodiment of the accessory 17 as a person receiving unit would be to form it as a wheelchair receiving device or as a stretcher chair receiving device. This is in the Fig. 6 to 9 shown in simplified form.

Thus, even with a rescue cage 4 in conjunction with a turntable 3 by opening the Korbumwehrung 6 as needed created the possibility to record a person sitting on a wheelchair or a stretcher chair person in the rescue cage 4 easier without the person including wheelchair or stretcher chair must be lifted over the handrail in the rescue cage 4. For transport in the rescue cage 4 is still to provide additional support or safety device so that either the stretcher together with the patient or the wheelchair and the person sitting on it is kept secured against falling.

In this context, however, it should also be pointed out that, for safety reasons, at least one, but preferably several, distributed retaining elements are provided on the rescue cage 4, in particular in the area of the cage surround 6, for safety reasons Rescuers or the rescuers eg via a securing element, such as a safety rope or the like, even before a crash from the front open rescue cage 4 can secure or can.

In the Fig. 6 is now shown that in the rescue cage 4 at the basket bottom 5 a wheelchair is taken for rescue purposes and parked. For this purpose, in the present embodiment, in the region of the front basket side 9, the basket surround 6 has been at least partially removed. In order nevertheless to have a certain protection against an unintentional fall from the rescue cage 4, it is additionally shown here that the handrail is continuously formed by means of an additionally arranged, in particular rod-shaped auxiliary element 34 in the region of the basket front side 9. The one or more removable support members 7 have already been removed here, wherein portions of the basket front side 9 can still be closed by door leaves or the like.

In the Fig. 7 and 8th is still shown at the rescue cage 4, that on this to facilitate the insertion and removal of the wheelchair or the Kantentragestuhls the ramp 32 is disposed in the region of the basket bottom 5 on the rescue cage 4. The ramp 32 can be detachably attached to the rescue cage 4, in particular its basket bottom 5. For this purpose, in turn, a cooperation of a second connecting element 18, which is arranged on the ramp 32, take place with the first receiving device 15. Thus, the ramp 32 as needed attached and also quickly removed if necessary. Furthermore, the ramp 32 may also be designed to be pivotable in order to be able to set different positions or positions thereof relative to the basket bottom 5. Likewise, in turn, the ramp 32 may be formed lockable in at least one of its pivotal positions by means of the locking device 33.

For example, if a control device not shown in detail for performing the adjustment of the rescue cage 4 provided directly in the rescue cage 4 in the area of Korbumwehrung 6, it is possible to arrange the ramp 32 off-center with respect to the width of the rescue cage 4 at this. Likewise, it is also possible, even in a plane parallel to the basket bottom 5 to store the ramp 32 pivotally on this. Furthermore, the viewing direction of the recorded in the rescue cage and sitting on the wheelchair or stretcher chair person can be freely selected as needed. In the present exemplary embodiment, it is shown that the viewing direction is from the basket rear side 12 in the direction of the basket front side 9.

When in the Fig. 9 selected representation is now shown that the ramp 32 is aligned in its folded-down position relative to the basket bottom 5 thereto. Thus, in the present embodiment, the person receiving unit includes the ramp 32 and a running in the region of the basket bottom 5 guide assembly for the wheels of the wheelchair or stretcher chair. The attachment and / or mounting of the person receiving unit can be done by connecting the second connecting element 18 with the first receiving device 15. Furthermore, the pivoting doors arranged in the corner area are shown in their open position, whereby almost the full width of the basket front side 9 is available for receiving the wheelchair or the stretcher chair.

Thus, if necessary, a person sitting on a wheelchair or a stretcher chair person can be easily and effectively absorbed in the rescue cage. Additional aids, such as the previously described adjusting means 20 can be used to support this.
