Abstract
A human transporting system for efficiently removing an injured person out of water. The human transporting system generally includes a handle, a pair of straps attached to the handle, a pair of sliding loops attached to the straps forming looped portions for receiving the wrists of an injured human, and a pair of biasing members attached between the handle and the sliding loops. The looped portions receive the wrists of the injured human and the user pulls the injured human from the water by pulling upon the handle which tightens the looped portions upon the wrists. Once the injured human is pulled out of the water, the handle is lowered thereby allowing the biasing members to loosen the looped portions about the wrists.
Claims20
A human transporting system, comprising:
- a handle;
- a first strap attached to said handle;
- a first sliding loop attached to said first strap, wherein said first sliding loop slidably receives a portion of said first strap forming a first looped portion opposite of said handle for receiving a first wrist of an injured human;
- a first biasing member attached between said handle and said first sliding loop, wherein said first biasing member applies a force upon said first sliding loop drawing said first sliding loop toward said handle thereby loosening said first looped portion;
- a second strap attached to said handle;
- a second sliding loop attached to said second strap, wherein said second sliding loop slidably receives a portion of said second strap forming a second looped portion opposite of said handle for receiving a second wrist of an injured human;
- and
- a second biasing member attached between said handle and said second sliding loop, wherein said second biasing member applies a force upon said second sliding loop drawing said second sliding loop toward said handle thereby loosening said second looped portion.
