Patient containment systems for use with patient transport apparatuses

A patient transport system comprising:

• a patient transport apparatus comprising a seat section and a back section for supporting a patient;
• a patient containment system comprising:
• an upper strap having a seat end coupled to the seat section, a back end, a shoulder region extending between the seat end and the back end, a first magnetic element, and a strap handle coupled to the shoulder region and arranged for engagement by the patient;
• a lower strap having a thigh region, a waist region, and a connection region arranged between the thigh region and the waist region, wherein the waist region defines a width larger than a width defined by at least one other strap of the patient containment system;
• a connector coupled to the connection region of the lower strap;
• and
• a coupling system to facilitate releasable attachment of the patient containment system to the patient transport apparatus, the coupling system comprising:
• an anchor operatively attached to one of the patient transport apparatus and the lower strap;
• and
• a receiver shaped to releasably secure the anchor, the receiver operatively attached to the other of the patient transport apparatus and the lower strap;
• and
• wherein the coupling system is operable between:
• an engagement configuration to at least partially limit movement of the anchor relative the receiver;
• and
• a disengagement configuration to release the anchor from the receiver;
• wherein the patient transport apparatus includes a second magnetic element arranged to releasably attach to the first magnetic element to at least partially restrict movement of the upper strap relative to the patient transport apparatus.
