Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of medical equipment, and more particularly to a foldable stand for securing first aid kits on cross-country running courses. [Background technology]
[0002] In cross-country running events, ensuring the rapid access and stable storage of first aid kits is crucial to ensuring the safety of participants. However, conventional methods for securing first aid kits have significant drawbacks. Due to the complex terrain of the course (e.g., mountainous, muddy, and gravel roads), conventional stands require stakes or belts to be driven into the ground. However, this takes more than five minutes to set up and is limited by the hardness of the ground (stakes cannot be driven into rocky areas), resulting in the first aid kit tilting (a 40% risk of falling at an angle of more than 15 degrees) and a lack of stability. Furthermore, while open shelves are convenient for accessing items, they lack impact resistance, making medicines inside the first aid kit susceptible to collisions and breakage due to vibrations during running (e.g., glass ampoules break at a rate of more than 10%). Furthermore, rescuers must hold the box with one hand while operating it, resulting in missed critical moments. Existing solutions for folding stands mainly use hinge structures, but these are not rigid enough after unfolding (load capacity is less than 10 kg) and cannot accommodate a standard first aid kit (generally 15-20 kg). Furthermore, dust easily accumulates in the folding joints, causing malfunctions (failure rate exceeds 30%), making them difficult to adapt to harsh competition environments.
[0003] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the present invention provides a foldable stand for fixing first aid kits on cross-country running courses to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The object of the present invention is to provide a foldable stand for securing first aid kits on cross-country running courses in order to solve the above problems. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] To achieve this purpose, the present invention provides the following technical means: That is, it is a foldable stand for fixing a first aid kit for a cross-country running course, which is equipped with a first aid kit, a support mechanism for fixing the position of the first aid kit engaged with the outer end of the first aid kit, the first aid kit being installed on the bottom of the inner wall of the support mechanism, and an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the height at which the first aid kit is used being attached to the lower end of the support mechanism.
[0006] In a more preferred configuration of the present invention, the support mechanism includes two sets of upper plates, which are rotatably connected by hinges, and a fixed frame is rotatably connected to the upper surfaces of the upper plates. A slidable engagement block is connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the fixed frame, and the lower end of the engagement block is inserted and connected inside the upper plates. The two sets of fixed frames abut on both the left and right sides of the first aid kit on the sides closest to the hinges.
[0007] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the adjustment mechanism includes four U-shaped brackets attached to the undersides of two upper plates. A rotatable connecting block is connected to the inside of the U-shaped brackets, a fixed sleeve is provided on the underside of the connecting block, and a slidable connecting sleeve is connected to the inside of the fixed sleeve. Four arch-shaped folding plates are provided on the underside of the fixed sleeve, and a fixing ring for rotating the four arch-shaped folding plates is slidably connected to the outer periphery of the fixed sleeve.
[0008] In yet another preferred embodiment of the present invention, a push rod is engaged inside the connecting sleeve.
[0009] In another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the upper plate is provided with a fastening screw threadedly connected thereto, and the lower end of the fastening screw is attached to the inside of the connecting block.
[0010] In yet another preferred configuration of the present invention, a magnetic strip is provided on the upper plate on the side closer to the center point of the support mechanism, and two sets of magnetic strips are attracted to each other on the side farther from the adjustment mechanism. [Effects of the Invention]
[0011] The present invention has the following advantages over the prior art: 1. When using this device, the two upper plates are pushed out and the fixed frame is rotated, inserting and connecting the adjustment mechanism at the lower end of the support mechanism to the ground. The positioning slot inside the fixed frame is then adjusted to be directly above the positioning slot inside the upper plate, and the engaging block is moved downward and its lower end is inserted into the positioning slot of the upper plate, forming a U-shaped installation platform for the support mechanism. Next, the first aid kit is pushed between the two fixed frames, and the support mechanism forms a structure to support the first aid kit, allowing the rescuer to use both hands freely to quickly retrieve the necessary emergency medicines and equipment, thereby improving the practicality of the device. 2. To use this device, pull out the connecting sleeve and insert the fixing cone at its bottom into the ground of the cross-country running. Then, adjust the position of the support mechanism horizontally and push out the fixing ring, sliding it along the outer circumference of the fixing sleeve. The sliding movement of the fixing ring causes the four sets of arch-shaped folding plates to rotate, and the inner walls of the anti-slip pads adhere tightly to their outer circumference. In this way, the fixing ring limits the sliding position of the arch-shaped folding plates within the fixing sleeve, preventing the first aid kit from tipping over due to uneven ground. This prevents the contents of the first aid kit from being damaged or scattered by shaking or impact, allowing rescuers to quickly and orderly retrieve the first aid supplies.

[Figure 4] FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of part A in FIG. 2. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0013] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that the described embodiments are only a part of the present invention and do not cover all the embodiments. Based on the disclosure of the present invention, all other embodiments that can be obtained by a person skilled in the art without any creative efforts are included in the protection scope of the present invention.
[0014] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, in one embodiment of the present invention, a foldable first aid kit holder for cross-country running courses includes a first aid kit 1. A support mechanism 2 is engaged with the outer end of the first aid kit 1 to fix the position of the first aid kit 1. The first aid kit 1 is attached to the bottom of the inner wall of the support mechanism 2. The lower end of the support mechanism 2 is provided with an adjustment mechanism 4 for adjusting the height of the first aid kit 1 when in use. Specifically, the support mechanism 2 is unfolded, the adjustment mechanism 4 is extended, and the lower end of the adjustment mechanism 4 is inserted into the ground. Then, the first aid kit 1 is pushed down to engage between two sets of fixing frames 202. This allows the support mechanism 2 to support the first aid kit 1, and the adjustment mechanism 4 can be used to adjust and move the first aid kit 1 and support mechanism 2 to a horizontal position. This allows rescue workers to use both hands freely during rescue operations and quickly retrieve necessary emergency medicines and equipment. This also prevents items in the first aid kit 1 from being damaged or scattered due to shaking or impact, greatly improving the practicality of the device.
[0015] The support mechanism 2 includes two sets of upper plates 201, which are rotatably connected by hinges. A fixed frame 202 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the upper plate 201, and an engagement block 203 is slidably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the fixed frame 202. The lower ends of the engagement blocks 203 are inserted inside the upper plate 201, and the sides of the two sets of fixed frames 202 closest to the hinges abut on both the left and right sides of the first aid kit 1. An engagement groove is provided on the upper surface of the upper plate 201, and fixing through-holes are formed in the inner walls on both the front and rear sides of the engagement groove. The fixed frame 202 is rotatably connected to the two fixing through-holes of the upper plate 201 with dampers. Positioning engagement grooves are formed on the bottom of the inner wall of the fixed frame 202 and on the upper surface of the upper plate 201, and the engagement block 203 is inserted and connected to the engagement grooves of the fixed frame 202 and the upper plate 201. A GPS location information module is embedded inside the upper plate 201.
[0016] Specifically, by spreading the two sets of upper plates 201 and rotating the fixed frame 202, the adjustment mechanism 4 provided at the lower end of the support mechanism 2 is inserted into the upper edge of the ground, and the positioning engagement groove inside the fixed frame 202 is moved to directly above the positioning engagement groove inside the upper plate 201. The engagement block 203 is then pushed downward, inserting the lower end of the engagement block 203 into the positioning engagement groove of the upper plate 201, forming the support mechanism 2 as a U-shaped installation platform. Next, the first aid kit 1 is pushed in to engage between the two sets of fixed frames 202, and the support mechanism 2 supports the first aid kit 1, allowing the rescue worker to use both hands freely during emergency rescue operations and quickly take out necessary emergency medicines and equipment, improving the practicality of the device. Furthermore, by restoring the position of the fixed frame 202 and folding the two sets of upper plates 201 so that their top surfaces are tightly attached, the worker can move the entire device simply by lifting up the two sets of fixed frames 202, improving the convenience of rescue staff on cross-country running courses when carrying the device. Furthermore, a GPS location information module is installed inside the upper plate 201, and by activating this GPS module while the rack is in use, it is possible to transmit the location information of the rack and first aid kit to a remote emergency center, minimizing loss during use and enabling the rapid dispatch of additional medical staff as needed.
[0017] The adjustment mechanism 4 includes four sets of U-shaped support frames 401, which are respectively attached to the undersides of the two upper plates 201. A connecting block 402 is rotatably connected to the inside of the U-shaped support frame 401, and a fixed sleeve 403 is installed on the underside of the connecting block 402. A connecting sleeve 404 is slidably connected to the inside of the fixed sleeve 403. Four sets of arc-shaped folding plates 405 are attached to the underside of the fixed sleeve 403, and a fixing ring 408 for rotating the four sets of arc-shaped folding plates 405 is slidably connected to the outer periphery of the fixed sleeve 403. The four sets of U-shaped support frames 401 are respectively arranged at the four corners of the underside of the support mechanism 2, and anti-slip pads 406 are adhered to the inner surfaces of the four sets of arc-shaped folding plates 405. The inner surfaces of the four sets of anti-slip pads 406 are in close contact with the outer periphery of the connecting sleeve 404. A taper pin 407 for fixing is attached to the underside of the connecting sleeve 404, and all four sets of arc-shaped folding plates 405 are arranged on the moving path of the fixing ring 408;
[0018] Specifically, by pulling out the connecting sleeve 404, the fixing tapered pin 407 at the bottom end of the connecting sleeve 404 is inserted and fixed into the ground of the trail running, adjusting and moving the support mechanism 2 to a horizontal position. Next, the fixing ring 408 is pushed to slide along the outer end of the fixing sleeve 403, causing the fixing ring 408 to rotate the four sets of arc-shaped folding plates 405 during the sliding process. At this time, the inner walls of the four sets of anti-slip pads 406 press against the outer surfaces of the arc-shaped folding plates 405, thereby restricting the sliding position of the arc-shaped folding plates 405 within the fixing sleeve 403. This prevents the first aid kit 1 from tipping over due to uneven ground and prevents items in the first aid kit 1 from being damaged or scattered due to shaking or impact, making it easier for rescuers to quickly and orderly retrieve emergency supplies. This improves the practicality of the device. Furthermore, by pulling out the fixing sleeve 403 and adjusting the length of the adjustment mechanism 4, the height of the first aid kit 1 and the support mechanism 2 can be adjusted during use, and the first aid kit 1 can be kept at an appropriate height and in a stable state. This reduces the time required for workers to retrieve medical supplies, improves rescue efficiency, and ensures more time to save the injured player;
[0019] At the same time, in the process of carrying and transporting this device, by pushing the fixed sleeve 403, the connecting block 402 is rotated inside the U-shaped support body 401, and the outer surface of the fixed sleeve 403 is brought into contact with the underside of the top plate 201, allowing the adjustment mechanism 4 to be folded when not in use. This allows the actual size of the device after folding to be reduced, making it more convenient for the worker to carry and transport this device.
[0020] Furthermore, the push rod 6 is fitted inside the connecting sleeve 404, and a slot is provided on the outer surface of the connecting sleeve 404, into which the push rod 6 is fitted. Specifically, by pushing the push rod 6, the push rod 6 is fixed in the slot of the connecting sleeve 404, and then by stepping on or pressing the push rod 6 with one's foot, the connecting sleeve 404 moves downward, allowing the operator to quickly insert the fixing tapered pin 407 into the ground of the trail running. This eliminates the need for the operator to manually hold down the support mechanism 2 when installing and fixing the lower end position of the adjustment mechanism 4, thereby reducing the time required for installation.
[0021] A fastening screw 5 is threadedly connected to the interior of the top plate 201, and the lower end of the fastening screw 5 is attached to the interior of the connecting block 402. Threaded holes are provided on the top surfaces of the top plate 201, the U-shaped support 401, and the connecting block 402, respectively, and the outer threaded portion of the fastening screw 5 passes through the threaded holes of the support mechanism 2 and the U-shaped support 401 and is connected to the threaded hole of the connecting block 402. Specifically, by rotating the fastening screw 5, the outer threaded portion of the fastening screw 5 passes through the threaded holes of the support mechanism 2 and the U-shaped support 401 and is screwed into the threaded hole of the connecting block 402, thereby allowing the fastening screw 5 to limit the rotational position of the connecting block 402 within the U-shaped support 401. This minimizes shaking of the connecting block 402 during use, improving the stability of the adjustment mechanism 4 when in use.
[0022] A magnetic strip 3 is attached to the top plate 201 on the side closer to the center point of the support mechanism 2, and the two sets of magnetic strips 3 are arranged so that the sides farther from the adjustment mechanism 4 are attracted to each other. A slot is provided on each of the two sets of top plates 201 on the side closer to the center of the support mechanism 2, and the two sets of magnetic strips 3 are attached inside this slot. Specifically, by rotating the two sets of top plates 201 and causing the adjacent sides of the magnetic strips 3 to attract each other, the magnetic strips 3 limit the relative positions of the two sets of top plates 201. This prevents the two sets of top plates 201 from rotating while the support mechanism 2 is being deployed and the adjustment mechanism 4 is being extended, and shortens the time it takes for an operator to use this device to secure the first aid kit 1 in a predetermined position.
[0023] The working principle of this device is: To use the device, the two top plates 201 are pushed out and the fixed frame 202 is rotated to insert the adjustment mechanism 4 at the lower end of the support mechanism 2 above the ground. The positioning slot inside the fixed frame 202 is then adjusted to be directly above the positioning slot inside the top plate 201. The lock block 203 is then pushed downward and its lower end is inserted into the positioning slot of the top plate 201, so that the support mechanism 2 forms a U-shaped installation platform. The first aid kit 1 is then pushed in, fitting it between the two fixed frames 202 and allowing the support mechanism 2 to support the first aid kit 1. This allows the rescuer to use both hands freely to quickly retrieve necessary medicines and equipment in an emergency. Furthermore, by returning the fixed frame 202 to its original position and folding the two top plates 201 so that their top surfaces are tightly pressed together, the worker can move the device by simply lifting the two fixed frames 202, making transportation easier.
[0024] At the same time, the operator pulls the connecting sleeve 404 to insert the fixed cone 407 at its lower end into the trail running ground, adjusting the position of the support mechanism 2 horizontally. Then, the fixing ring 408 is pressed and slid outside the fixing sleeve 403. During the sliding process, the four sets of arc-shaped folding plates 405 rotate, pressing the inner surfaces of each anti-slip pad 406 against the outer surfaces of the arc-shaped folding plates 405. The fixing ring 408 thus restricts the sliding position of the arc-shaped folding plates 405 inside the fixing sleeve 403, preventing the first aid kit 1 from tipping over due to uneven ground and preventing damage or scattering of the contents inside the box due to shaking or collisions. The operator also pushes the pusher rod 6 to fit into the slot in the connecting sleeve 404, and then steps or pushes the connecting sleeve 404 downward, allowing the operator to quickly insert the fixed cone 407 into the ground. This eliminates the need to hold the support mechanism 2 when installing the lower end of the adjustment mechanism 4, improving work efficiency.

A person skilled in the art can make equivalent substitutions or modifications to the technical means and inventive concepts based on the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, and all of these shall fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
