Предлагаемая полезная модель относится к санитарному оборудованию и используется для доставки пострадавших в лечебное учреждение с применением транспортных средств, преимущественно авиации.Устройство для крепления санитарных носилок в летательном аппарате, установленное в транспортной кабине, состоит из закрепленных в нем передних стоек и задних стоек, выполненных наклонно и имеющих разную длину. При этом на стойках установлены замки крепления санитарных носилок, а также кронштейны, имеющие разную высоту крепления на стойках, для установки профилей относительно тангажа летательного аппарата. При этом на внутренних поверхностях профилей установлены накладки, а на кронштейнах установлены фиксаторы, на которых при помощи замков крепится страховочная сетка.Технический результат полезной модели - уменьшение время обслуживания погрузки и выгрузки санитарных носилок, а также обеспечение в полете горизонтального положения пострадавших. В случае непредвиденных ситуаций (жесткая посадка, поломка носилок, разрыва полотна носилок) страховочная сетка предупреждает падение пострадавшего.

Representative embodiments include a support apparatus that can be positioned between a load element and a support element to cushion the load element against vibration with respect to the support element. The apparatus includes a base member and a receiving member. The receiving member has an element engaging surface facing away from the base member to receive the load element. A vibration reduction device is mounted between the base member and the receiving member to yieldably resist relative movement of the members toward one another along an axis of movement which is substantially normal to the element engaging surface. A load element securing device is attached to the receiving member to allow the load element to be secured to the element engaging surface. One of the base member or the receiving member is partially received within the other member for sliding motion along the axis.

A stretcher clamp mountable on a gurney designed to be quickly opened for inserting a cylindrical stretcher handle and then quickly closed. When closed, the stretcher clamp remains in a closed, locked position regardless of bumps and jolts received when the gurney is moved across rough terrain. When the gurney reaches its destination, the novel stretcher clamps are easily and reliably openable to release the stretcher handle therefrom. Unlike stretcher clamps of the prior art, the stretcher clamp of the invention is not prone to jamming caused by bending or other distortions during transit. The clamp has two major components: an elongated latch handle and an elongated handle retainer, both rotatively mounted in a rigid, U-shaped frame or base. These two components are interconnected by a linkage assembly that is rotatively connected to the elongated latch handle and the elongated handle retainer and positioned therebetween.

A disposable transporter that is absorbent, portable, and lightweight, and having sufficient strength to carry an injured soldier or medical patient is provided. The transporter has a backing substrate, an absorbent body, and a gripping device in an edge formed by the backing substrate. The absorbent body absorbs a large amount of body fluids, and can have an active agent that reduces contamination, infection, and odor. A transporter kit that encloses the transporter in a case for ease of storage and transport is also provided. 1. A disposable transporter having a top surface for carrying a person , comprising:a backing substrate having a first side;an absorbent body secured to the first side of the backing substrate, being sized less than the backing substrate so that a portion of the backing substrate forms an edge about the absorbent body, wherein the absorbent body is co-planar with the backing substrate and the transporter, and wherein when the person is positioned on the top surface of the transporter, the absorbent body is located directly beneath the person, and contacts the back portion of the person, to absorb exuded body fluids and thereby acts to dry the person; anda gripping device in the edge.2. The transporter according to claim 1 , wherein the gripping device is unencumbered by the absorbent body.3. The transporter according to claim 1 , wherein the transporter can carry a person weighing up to at least 250 pounds.4. The transporter according to claim 3 , wherein the transporter is at least eighteen (18) inches in width claim 3 , at least sixty-five (65) inches in length claim 3 , and has a total weight of less than four (4) pounds.5. The transporter according to claim 4 , wherein the transporter is about thirty-three (33) inches in width claim 4 , about seventy-eight (78) inches in length claim 4 , and has a total weight of less than three (3) pounds.6. The transporter according to claim 1 , wherein the backing substrate further comprises a second ...

Techniques for Detecting a Force Acting on a Base of a Patient Transport Apparatus

A patient transport apparatus for use with a vehicle, comprising a lift mechanism between a base and a support frame to move between an extended configuration defining a first distance and a retracted configuration defining a second distance. An interface generates a user signal. A sensor generates a sensor signal corresponding to force acting on the base relative to the support frame. A controller determines if the user signal corresponds to an extend or retract command; determines if the force acting on the base has exceeded a predetermined threshold value based on the sensor signal; drives the lift mechanism toward the extended configuration where the user signal corresponds to the extend command and toward the retracted configuration where the user signal corresponds to the retract command; and interrupts driving the lift mechanism to stop motion of the lift mechanism in response to the sensor signal exceeding the predetermined threshold value.
