Description

  The present invention relates to a stretcher that carries a patient or the like made of a laminate of kraft paper and polyethylene cloth (PE), and can be folded and stored during storage.

  There is a stretcher as a tool to carry victims etc. from disaster sites and accident sites, but typically, in a state where a pair of support rods having gripping portions at both ends are positioned parallel to each other at a predetermined distance, A configuration in which a sheet is constructed between the support rods is known.

However, since such a stretcher is bulky, it is difficult to secure a storage location when a large amount of storage is to be prepared in preparation for a catastrophe or the like, and a higher storage property is desired. Moreover, a cheaper one is desired.
As an attempt to improve storage performance, reduce weight, or facilitate transportation in a narrow place, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a light weight that uses a hollow pipe made of carbon fiber reinforced resin for a pair of support rods and a connecting arm. A telescopic stretcher with excellent storability is described.

  Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a stretcher in which a bent handle portion is formed on a paper main body plate portion, which is made of paper so that it can be easily manufactured, reduced in weight, and easily stored. It is estimated that

  However, since this stretcher uses a paper plate, it seems that there is a limit to the size of the stretcher, which is insufficient with respect to the storage property, and is still uneasy about the strength during use.

  An object of the present invention is to solve a conventional problem, and to provide a stretcher that can be folded and stored during storage, has sufficient mechanical properties as a stretcher, and is relatively inexpensive.

  As a result of intensive studies, the inventor has found that a preferable stretcher can be obtained by using a laminate of a kraft paper and polyethylene cloth (PE) bonding structure as a material, and has reached the present invention.

  The stretcher of the present invention is as follows.

  A stretchable stretcher that consists of a laminate of kraft paper and polyethylene cloth (PE), with the polyethylene cloth (PE) side as the underside of the stretcher and the kraft paper side as the top surface (the victim's side) The stretcher is characterized in that an oval cutout is provided at each of the four left and right side portions in the longitudinal direction, and a left oval cutout is applied to the left portion, and the remaining portion is bent and the cutout is used as a handle portion.

  Since the stretcher according to the present invention is made of a laminate of kraft paper and polyethylene cloth (PE), it is very lightweight and easy to carry. It can be folded to save storage space and can be stocked in large quantities. Since it is made of paper, it can be used as a stretcher to which blood or other dirt easily adheres, and can be disposable, and has an advantage not found in conventional products such as being inexpensive.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a stretcher according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a view showing a state in which the stretcher according to the present invention is widened. FIG. 3 is a view showing a state in which the stretcher according to the present invention is folded.

  The stretcher according to the present invention is composed of a laminate in which polyethylene cloth (PE) and kraft paper are bonded together, and has a basic size of 1200 (width) × 1800 (length) mm.

The stretcher body consists of a laminate of kraft paper and polyethylene cloth (PE). The polyethylene cloth (PE) side is the lower surface of the stretcher, and the kraft paper side is the upper surface (the victim's side). The left and right sides to be formed are preferably covered with polyethylene cloth (PE).
On both the left and right sides, oval cutouts are made with a part left in each of the four places, and the left parts are bent and the cutouts are used as handle parts.

The advantages of the stretcher of the present invention are as follows.
-It is much lighter than conventional stretchers, so it is much easier to carry.
・ Because it can be folded, it can be stored in a small storage space, and many stretchers can be stored.

-Since it is disposable, it can be used without worrying about blood and other dirt.
・ Victims can be placed on ambulances and beds with the stretcher of the present invention.
・ When carrying small and heavy objects other than children and people, the length can be adjusted to two levels by folding back.

If tricolor four-color tape is attached to the kraft paper side of the stretcher body, it can be used when triage is necessary.
Triage tape is used in place of triage tags during rescue operations, and the selected color tape is attached to the victim.

Triage tape is used in the following categories:
Black Category 0 (Death group)
No death or vital signs and no chance of life saving.
Red Category I (high priority treatment group)
It should be treated as soon as possible in a serious state related to life.
Yellow Category II (Waiting treatment group)
It is not as red, but should be treated early.
In general, it is not a life-threatening condition right now, but treatment is needed,
In some cases it may turn red.
Green Category III (holding group)
There is no need for transportation now.
Including those that do not require complete treatment.

  An embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described based on the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

1-3 show an embodiment of the present invention.
The stretcher main body is made of a laminate of kraft paper and polyethylene cloth (PE), and the left and right side portions 3 forming the back surface and the grip portion are covered with polyethylene cloth (PE).

The left and right side portions 3 are provided with cutouts for forming handle portions at four locations. The cutout leaves a part, bends at the remaining portion, and uses the cutout as the handle portion 4.
The shape of the cutout hole is an oval, but may be an ellipse as shown in FIGS. Since the oval has a straight portion, it is easy to bend and use as a handle.
Carry with this handle. Usually 4 people hold the handle on both sides.

As shown in FIG. 2, four color tapes 5 (black, red, yellow, and green) for triage may be attached to the kraft paper side of the stretcher main body. In that case, four color tapes can be used for triage.
The stretcher is folded and stored as shown in FIG.

In use, it is spread on site and the patient is placed on the central body. Then, if necessary, the victim is triaged, but since the surface is kraft paper, symptoms and other information can be written without the triage tag, and sufficient space can be secured.
When four colors of black, red, yellow, and green tape for triage are attached to the surface of the stretcher, use the triage tape of the identification color judged by the doctor or nurse on the spot, the wrist, ankle, etc. Can be attached to.
The victim is transported to an ambulance etc. according to the priority of triage.

  Since the stretcher of the present invention is made of paper on the top surface, it absorbs a small amount of blood and water, so it is possible to reduce contamination during transportation. Moreover, since the polyethylene cloth (PE) on the back surface repels moisture, it can be placed in a wet place, and can be carried without getting wet in the rain if it is put on another sheet.

Since the stretcher is relatively thin and can be disposable, the patient can be placed on an ambulance, a bed, or an operating table in a hospital while being on the stretcher.
In addition, when the strength test was performed using 1/4 of the stretcher of FIG. 1, it was able to endure a load of 100 kg. Therefore, the stretcher of the present invention can sufficiently withstand a load of 300 kg in actual use. In addition, similar strength was confirmed even in a wet state.

  The foldable retractable stretcher according to the present invention can be manufactured at a low cost and can be stored more compactly, so that it can be stocked more than ever in preparation for major disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis that frequently occur in recent years. It is a meaningful thing. In addition, since it can be disposable, it can be used without worrying about some dirt, and it is very practical to use.
