Abstract
A rescue device includes a support plate connected to a rescue basket. The support plate includes one or more alignment slots. One or more alignment tabs on a weight transfer member of a frame are inserted into the alignment slots to align the support plate on the frame. An extension member connected to the frame moves a set of handles away from the frame to accommodate the rescue basket. A wheel on the frame is driven by a motor to facilitate the rescue of individuals.
Claims20
A rescue device, comprising:
- a single wheel oriented in a direction of motion of the rescue device and configured to contact the ground, the single wheel having a first lateral side in a first lateral direction normal to the direction of motion and a second lateral side in a second lateral direction normal to the direction of motion;
- a motor configured to rotate the single wheel;
- a frame connected to the single wheel, the frame including a first weight transfer member positioned on the first lateral side of the single wheel including one or more first alignment tabs positioned on the first lateral side of the single wheel, and a second weight transfer member positioned on the second lateral side of the single wheel including one or more second alignment tabs positioned on the second lateral side of the single wheel;
- a support plate configured to connect to the frame, the support plate including:
- one or more first slots configured to align with the one or more first alignment tabs on the first lateral side of the single wheel;
- one or more second slots configured to align with the one or more second alignment tabs on the second lateral side of the single wheel;
- a first tab on a bottom of the support plate configured to removably connect to the first weight transfer member at the first lateral side of the single wheel;
- and
- a second tab on the bottom of the support plate configured to removably connect to the second weight transfer member at the second lateral side of the single wheel;
- and
- a handle connected to the frame.
