Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a floating stretcher, intended in particular for the recovery of casualties at sea, of the type comprising a metal frame that can be hoisted, supporting a plate of composite material ensuring the buoyancy of the assembly.
  • the main object of the present invention is therefore to remedy this drawback and, to do this, it relates to a floating stretcher of the aforementioned type which is essentially characterized in that the plate and the frame are articulated in their middle part, in order that the assembly can be folded back on itself lengthwise.
  • the stretcher has a reduced size which facilitates both its storage and its transport by helicopter or on human back.
  • the metal frame is essentially constituted by a rigid main tube bent at the level of the wounded person's head and whose two branches extend substantially in parallel up to the level of the feet, each branches of this tube being provided in its middle part with a joint and a means for blocking this joint making it possible to stiffen the armature in the unfolded position.
  • the articulation is constituted by a connecting rod pivotally mounted on each branch portion by means of an axis, while the locking means is constituted by a female ring slidably mounted on one of the branch portions and coming screw on a male ring, provided on the other portion of branch, by enclosing the rod.
  • the plate made of composite material it is produced in two rigid parts connected to each other by two articulations arranged on the sides, a means for blocking these articulations being provided to stiffen said plate in the unfolded position.
  • the articulation is constituted by a connecting rod pivotally mounted on each of the plate parts by means of an axis, while the locking means is constituted by a U-shaped profile mounted sliding and engaging on the contiguous edges of the two parts of the plate on either side of the joint.
  • the floating stretcher according to the invention can be easily folded or unfolded as required, while having very good rigidity in the unfolded position of use.
  • the composite material plate follows the shape of the main tube of the frame and has a perfectly flat upper face, while its lower face is provided with a bulge at the level of the head which is extended towards the feet by two rafters. parallel longitudinal.
  • This particular shape of the composite material plate allows the fully equipped stretcher thrown into the water to automatically turn in the right direction and then float in a position inclined at about 45 °, which considerably facilitates the recovery of the injured, the latter floating approximately in the same position due to his life jacket.
  • the plate of composite material is removably attached to the metal frame by means of a recess provided in the front part, engaging on the curved part of the main tube, and two pins supported by the frame and engaging in lateral holes provided for this purpose in the plate at the feet.
  • the plate is advantageously provided radiolucent.
  • the metal frame is provided at its lower part with a secondary tube of smaller diameter, connected to the main tube by junction tubes and extending parallel to the latter along its two branches in order to forming two sledge runners, this secondary tube being interrupted at each of the joints of the main tube.
  • the stretcher shown in Figures 1 and 2 mainly consists of a metal frame 1 supporting a plate of composite material 2 which ensures the buoyancy of the assembly.
  • This stretcher is indeed intended to collect the wounded or shipwrecked who fell at sea, in particular airplane pilots. It goes without saying, however, that such a stretcher can also be used in any aquatic environment, lake or river, both by the army and by civil protection.
  • the metal frame 1 is essentially constituted by a rigid main tube 3 made of stainless steel, bent at the level of the part surrounding the head of the injured person, as shown in 4, and the two branches 5 of which extend substantially in parallel up to the level feet over a length of about 2 meters.
  • each of the branches 5 of the main tube 3 is provided in its central part with a hinge 6 allowing the stretcher to fold back on itself, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • This hinge 6 is constituted here by a connecting rod 7 pivotally mounted on each branch portion by means of an axis 8.
  • the metal frame 1 is also provided at its lower part with two secondary tubes 11 of smaller diameter, connected to the main tube 3 by junction tubes 12 and which extend parallel to the latter along the two branches 5.
  • the ends of these two tubes 11 are raised and welded to the main tube 3, thus forming two sledge runners.
  • the tubes 11 are cut at the link joints 6, as shown in 13, so as not to impede the folding of the frame, but nevertheless form continuous pads facilitating the introduction of the stretcher inside from the rescue helicopter, allowing the winchman to slide the stretcher over the edge of the cargo door.
  • the tubes 11 of the sledge runners are also connected together by transverse tubes such as 14 which give the frame 1 its lateral rigidity.
  • This frame thus has a certain depth making it possible to accommodate the plate of composite material 2 intended to support the injured person.
  • the metal frame 1 also comprises, on the side of the head, a hoop 15 welded to the main tube 3 and connected to the curved part 4 thereof by junction tubes 16. This hoop is intended to protect the head or the helmet of the injured person during transport on the stretcher.
  • an extendable toe clip 17 At the other end of the frame is an extendable toe clip 17, slidably mounted in sheaths 18 welded to the inner edge of the two branches 5 of the main tube 3.
  • a locking means not shown constituted for example by quarter-turn pins, is further provided for locking this toe clip, either in its retracted position or in its extended position.
  • Small tubes 19 and 20 are also welded to the two branches 5 of the main tube 3 so as to protrude upwards, thereby providing lateral protection for the injured person carried at the shoulders and shins.
  • the metal frame 1 is also equipped, at the front with a pair of extendable handles 22, and at the rear with a pair of extendable handles 23, which makes it possible, if necessary, to transform the stretcher on a stretcher.
  • the front handles 22 are slidably mounted in sleeves 24 welded to the lower edge of the main tube 3, while the rear handles 23 are slidably mounted directly in the ends of the two branches 5 of this same main tube.
  • the plate of composite material 2 it is produced in two rigid parts 25 and 26, connected to each other by articulations 27 arranged on the sides. These joints are formed here, as can be seen more clearly in Figures 5 and 6, by a rod 28 pivotally mounted on each of the parts 25 and 26 of the plate 2 by means of an axis 29.
  • the plate 2 can thus fold back on itself according to a kinematic movement studied, together with the folding of the frame 1, as illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • the composite material plate 2 closely follows the shape of the main tube 3 of the frame 1 without protruding outside and is thus perfectly protected against shocks. Its upper face is perfectly flat, while its lower face has at the front a relatively large bulge 31 which is extended towards the rear by two parallel longitudinal rafters 32.
  • This particular shape which has been the subject of a long study, allows the stretcher, when thrown into the water, to automatically turn in the right direction and then take a position inclined at about 45 °, the upper end of the stretcher being out of the water about 50 cm. This buoyancy at 45 ° is ensured when the stretcher is equipped with all its accessories necessary for helicopter hoisting, that is to say a panty and a piece of approximately 50 meters, all weighing approximately 3 kg.
  • the plate of composite material 2 is removably fixed on the metal frame 1.
  • the front part of the plate is provided with a recess engaging on the curved part 4 of the tube main 3, while the rear part is provided with two ears 33 pierced with a hole in which engages a quarter-turn spindle 34 supported by the frame.
  • the plate is equipped with straps 35 making it possible to directly secure the injured person there, independently of the frame 1, as well as four flexible carrying handles 36.
  • the straps 35 will be provided with a system of '' quick coupler, the female part of which will be fixed to the plate, allowing the rescuer to secure the injured person on the plate with one hand.
  • the composite material constituting the plate will advantageously be provided radiolucent, which will make it possible to x-ray the injured person without having to move it unnecessarily.
  • the stretcher eventually turns into a stretcher, thanks to its extendable handles 22 and 23, then the plate of composite material 2, secured to the injured person, is unlocked from the frame 1 by simply retracting the two quarter pins tower 34 provided for this purpose.
  • Frame 1 can then be fitted with a new plate for another rescue, while the injured person is transported in the best conditions to a hospital, still on his plate of composite material, by means of the carrying handles 36, while being firmly held thereon by the straps 35.
