Definitions
- Marmorek ABSTRACT This invention concerns a device for optionally coupling a stretcher with different implements permitting the releasing of the stretcher from one implement and the coupling of the stretcher with another implement, to which it is to be transferred, to be performed simultaneously without passing an intermediate position in which the stretcher is disconnected from both implements.
- the invention is characterized in that the stretcher has two transverse cylinders, of which one is mounted for eccentric rotation so as to permit to vary the space between the cylinders by rotation of the eccentric cylinder.
- One of the implements has a member with two cylindrical recesses in its end edge portions to be engaged by the cylinders in their closest position.
- the other implement has a fork-shaped support with cylindrical recesses in the sides of the fork legs to be engaged by the cylinders in their most spaced-apart position, the eccentricity of the eccentric cylinder and the spacing of the cylinders and recesses being such that when transferring the eccentric cylinder from its engagement with one implement to the other,
- the present invention concerns a device for the optional coupling of a stretcher with different implements, such as a stretcher carriage and a lifting device.
- the invention is characterized in that the stretcher has transverse cylinders, of which one is journaled excentrically so that the space between the sides of the cylinders turned away from or facing each other can be varied, that the one implement has a plate or frame orthe like, the end edges of which have recesses for the cylinders, and that the other implement has a fork-shaped support with corresponding recesses on the sides of the fork leg facing each other, the cylinders, upon rotation of the excentric cylinder in one direction or the other, optionally engaging and clamping the frame between them or gripping the fork legs simultaneously as the stretcher is released from the fork legs or the frame, respectively.
- FIG. i is a side view of a stretcher placed on a stretcher carriage in position ready for the transfer to a lifting device.
- FIG. 2 shows a section along line llll in FIG. 3 through the locking device and the cooperating parts on the stretcher carriage and the lifting device.
- MG. 3 shows a section along line Ill-III in FIG. 2.
- FIGS. 41 and 5 show sections corresponding to FIG. 2 but with the locking device in different coupling positions.
- the stretcher carriage comprises a frame 2 mounted on wheels 1 and comprising a vertical standard 3 formed as a hydraulic cylinder with a piston rod 4, which can be hoisted and lowered by means of a pump mounted on the frame.
- a plate supporting a frame 6 which can be swung relative to the plate about a pivot 7 mounted on its one end wge, whereby an inclination of a few degrees can be obtained by means of a knee link 8 provided at the other end edge, and permitting to lower the frame 6 onto the plate 5 or to maintain the frame 6 in an inclined position by means of a lever 9.
- the stretcher it has in its median part bearing supports 1 I 12 extending downwards from the underside, in which transverse cylinders 13, M are rotatably mounted.
- One cylinder M is excentric relative to its axis of rotation and is rotatable by means of an operating lever H5.
- the cylinders l3, 114 are preferably of steel and the cylinder 14 is surrounded by a sleeve to freely rotatable thereon.
- This sleeve can be of resilient material, such as rubber, plastic material or the like.
- the lifting device shown in FIG. ll which can be used for lowering the stretcher into a bath or the like, comprises a vertical hydraulic cylinder 19 enclosing a piston with a piston rod 20 supporting at its upper end a rotatable head 21 with a downwards extending supporting ann 22, formed at its lower end into a fork with horizontal fork legs 23 presenting cylindrical recesses 24, 2f for the cylinders 13, it on their sides facing each other, the space between said recesses being somewhat larger than the distance between the sides of the cylinders turned away from each other when the excentric cylinder is in its middle position.
- the device just described works as follows.
- the excentric cylinder 14 is turned by means of the lever 15 so that the distance between the rollers becomes larger than the space between the end edges of the frame a so that the stretcher can be freely put down onto the latter with the cylinders facing the recesses l7, 18.
- the excentric M is turned and the space between the cylinders is thereby reduced, the cylinders engage the recesses l7 and i8 and are pressed against the frame 6 on the stretcher carriage, so that the stretcher is fixedly secured thereon.
- the fork legs 23 are exactly adjusted at the same level as the cylinder l3, l4 and the stretcher carriage is moved in over the fork legs so that the recesses 24, 25 are placed opposite the cylinders, which can be facilitated by means of an abutment provided on the supporting arm.
- the locking device above described is very simple and reliable and permits a rapid transfer from one implement to another, there being no risk for the stretcher in any position to be released without a corresponding locking being simultaneously effected.
- a device for the optional coupling :of a stretcher to different implements comprising, in combination,
- At least one of said cylinders being excentrically rotatable
- an implement including an inner supporting member defining first recesses for the cylinders, the distance between said first recesses being such as to allow a passage of said inner supporting member between said locking cylinders when said excentrically rotatable cylinder is turned away from the other cylinder, and locking said inner supporting member when said excentrically rotatably cylinder is turned towards said other cylinder, and another implement including a fork-shaped supporting member having corresponding second recesses for said cylinder on the sides of the fork legs turned towards each other, the distance between said second recesses being such that said cylinders upon rotation of the exbentrically rotatable mounted on said plate, so that said frame can be inclined with respect to said plate, and the ends of said frame being provided with said first recesses.
