To provide a simple stretcher that can be carried out with a small number of people even in narrow places such as corridors or stairs, reduces the physical burden on rescuers, is safer for both rescuers and wounded persons, and allows the wounded person to be transported with ease.SOLUTION: Two bands 3a are sewn to a back surface of a main body 1 so as to cross each other in an X-shape at a central portion 3b, and buckles 4 are attached to terminals of the bands. Handles 2 are respectively sewn to the end, head side, foot side, left side, and right side of the main body, and bands 5 for fixing a wounded person are sewn to two end portions of the main body. A harness is attached to the upper body of each of rescuers at the head side and the foot side. Each harness is composed of a band, a buckle for connecting to the main body, and a band-length-adjusting adjuster, and the band crosses in an X-shape and is sewn on the back side.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention is a simple stretcher that allows two rescuers to carry an injured person out of narrow passages or stairs, and reduces the physical burden on the rescuers. [Background technology]

[0002] This type of simple stretcher has handles sewn onto the ends of the main body 1, the head side 2a, 2b, the foot side 2c, 2d, the left side 2e, 2f, 2g, 2h, and the right side 2i, 2j, 2k, 2l. After placing the injured person on the simple stretcher, the handles are used to transport them. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] Conventional simple stretchers involve placing an injured person on the main body, and rescuers holding onto handles sewn onto the ends of the main body to carry the injured person. Handles are attached to the left and right sides, and multiple rescuers hold these handles from the head, foot, left and right sides to carry the injured person.

[0004] However, when transporting someone indoors, the general width of a Japanese house is about 90 cm, making it physically difficult for rescuers to enter on the left and right sides. Therefore, we provide a simple stretcher that can be transported by just two rescuers, one at the head and one at the foot, without putting any physical strain on two people. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] Two bands 3a are sewn to the back of the main body 1, crossing at the center 3b in an X-shape. Buckles 4a, 4b, 4c, and 4d are attached to the ends of the bands, allowing the band length to be adjusted using the buckles. Handles are sewn to the ends of the main body: head ends 2a and 2b, foot ends 2c and 2d, left side 2e, 2f, 2g, and 2h, and right sides 2i, 2j, 2k, and 2l. Bands for securing the victim are sewn to two ends 5a and 5b of the main body, and the length of each band can be adjusted using the buckles. A harness is attached to the upper body of the rescuer on the head and foot sides. Each harness consists of bands 7a and 7b, buckles 8a, 8b, 8c, and 8d that connect to the main body, and adjusters 9a, 9b, 9c, and 9d for adjusting the band length. Bands 7c and 7d are sewn to the back, crossing at an X-shape. This problem can be solved by connecting the rescuer wearing a harness and the main body carrying the injured person with a buckle. [Effects of the Invention]

[0006] In the present invention, two bands sewn in an X shape on the main body 1 are connected with a harness worn around the rescuer's upper body using buckles, allowing two rescuers, one at the head and one at the foot, to carry the injured person out.

[0007] Since the patient can be carried out by rescuers at both the head and foot sides, it is easy to carry the patient out through the corridors, stairs, and narrow spaces of a typical Japanese house.

[0008] The stretcher is lifted using a harness, which reduces the physical burden on the rescuer compared to conventional types that require lifting by handles.In addition, both hands can be released from the main body, and the rescuer can hold onto the handrails of corridors or stairs while transporting the stretcher, which is expected to improve the safety of the rescuer and the peace of mind of the injured person.

[0010] Figures 3, 4, 5, and 6 show embodiments of the simple stretcher according to the present invention. In Figure 3, the injured person is placed on the simple stretcher body 1, the injured person's feet are placed in tabi socks 6, bands 5a are passed through the injured person's armpits and connected with buckles, bands 5b are passed through the injured person's upper legs and connected with buckles, and each belt is fastened to secure the injured person to the body.

[0011] As shown in Figure 4, two sets of harnesses are attached to the upper bodies of two rescuers. The X-shaped cross section is attached to the back of the rescuer. The harness bands have adjustable buckles, so the length of the bands can be adjusted.

[0012] As shown in Figure 5, connect the main body and the harness band with the buckle, and adjust the length of the band to the appropriate length using the adjuster on the main body. The same method is used for both the head-side and foot-side rescuers.

[0013] The injured person is lifted and transported as shown in Figure 6. The length of the strap on the main body is adjusted according to the condition of the injured person, and the position is managed. [Explanation of symbols]
