Abstract
A stretcher for the non-traumatic transport and lifting of people including a frame with a pair of longitudinal beams that each have a toothed bars. Further, included is a plate positioned between the frame, the plate has a flexible sheet placed completely around the plate. The flexible sheet is retained around the plate by a piece that is fixed to a base that is positioned over the frame. Contained within the base is a driving axle that has dented wheels that correspond to the tooth bars of the frame. The rotation of the driving axle moves the dented wheels which will move the tooth bars and causes the base to move the inclined plate with the flexible sheet.
Claims7
A stretcher that lifts the patient on to the stretcher from a plane surface and capable of being used to carry the patient to transportation, the stretcher comprising;
- a frame having longitudinal beams with an inclined plate therebetween;
- a flexible sheet positioned about the inclined plate, the flexible sheet having ends positioned in a lower position of said plate;
- a bow-shaped base which surrounds the longitudinal beams of the frame, the bow-shaped base having legs that provide support;
- a piece fixed to the base for joining each end of the flexible sheet at the lower position and allowing the flexible sheet to slide as the plate is moved along by the longitudinal beams;
- a driving axle projecting through a side of the base;
- the driving axle having a coupling for receiving a means for rotating the axle;
- and
- said longitudinal beams each having a superior edge with a toothed bar to receive dented wheels that are mounted onto the drive axle within the base, the means for rotating the drive axle is capable of causing the dented wheels to engage the toothed bars to move the base and in turn move the flexible sheet.
