A mechanism for initiating movement of a stretcher includes a drive wheel, and a lever or pedal actuated assembly. Moving the pedal or the lever moves a flexible drive link which is wound around a hub of the drive wheel. As the flexible drive link is pulled and unwound from the hub, the drive wheel engages the floor and rotates a sufficient distance to overcome inertia and align the swivel wheels of the stretcher in the desired direction. |

A carrier for an object having castors at each corner and a steering system comprised of a fixed pair of spaced steering wheels deployable to contact the surface proximate the midpoint of the carrier. The pair of steering wheels are separated by a distance that improves tracking of the carrier and allows the carrier to more easily be turned around corners. A linkage is connected between a foot pedal and the pair of steering wheels; and the pair of steering wheels is moved into surface contact simultaneously with said castors contacting the surface by pressing the foot pedal. |

A uniquely constructed stretcher or sled provided with mounting hardware to support existing medical equipment in a compact and effective manner thereby providing an extremely effective neonatal emergency transport system. The stretcher includes mounting hardware at the central portion thereof for a transport incubator and attached to the incubator is a bracket specifically constructed to mount a heated humidifier. Adjacent the incubator unit toward the right end of the stretcher is a rack system of brackets to consolidate and support several pieces of equipment used in monitoring the neonate and the environment inside the incubator including an infusion pump, oxygen monitor, pulse oximeter and ECG monitor. At the other end of the stretcher, an aircraft approved battery system is mounted on bracket structure along with a power switching device to provide capability of using standard AC power for standby operation prior to transfer to the helicopter with the power switching arrangement enabling the power source to switch between AC and DC power on demand as needed. |

A wheeled stretcher for transferring and carrying a person lying on a bed, such as an invalid, is shown wherein the height of the stretcher is low enough to go under the bed. A lifting device narrower than the width of the wheeled stretcher is provided in the middle but at a position offcenter in a transversal direction of the wheeled stretcher which can be moved in both longitudinal and transversal directions. A bed frame is attached to the top of the lifting device at approximately the center of the wheeled stretcher, and a bed mat is placed on the bed frame. The surface of the mat is covered with a transfer sheet which can be moved across the bed mat. To transfer a person lying on a bed onto the wheeled stretcher, the stretcher is placed beside the bed, the bed frame is once lifted over the bed, then is lowered onto the bed. Then the transfer sheet is moved to a side of the lying invalid person who is then put onto the sheet. The sheet is then moved to the original position at the center of the bed mat. With the lifting device which moves the bed frame up and down positioned to either the right or left side, the bed frame can be overlapped deeply with the bed. |

The carriage of the present invention includes front and rear legs pivotally mounted to a frame. The front legs include first roller members mounted to carry the frame along a first directional path and steering roller members are mounted to the rear legs for carrying the frame along a plurality of directional paths to effect steering of the carriage. In addition to the first roller means, the front legs include front steering roller members which are also mounted to carry the frame along a plurality of directional paths transverse to the first directional path to effect steering at the front of the carriage. The front legs may be locked in a plurality of pivotal positions in which the front end of the carriage will rest either only on the first roller members or the front steering roller members. The location of the first roller members and the front steering roller members with respect to each other on the front legs is effective to cause only the first roller members to support the frame when the front legs are in one of the pivotal positions and to cause only the front steering roller members to support the frame when the front legs are in another of the pivotal positions for the front legs. |

The transport for a cadaver has an undercarriage with four wheels arranged to define a rectangle. A pair of upright columns are mounted upon the undercarriage near opposite ends thereof and are connected at their upper ends to a frame which is preferably rectangular and elongated. The upright columns may include fluid pressure actuated cylinders which extend between the frame and the undercarriage. A canopy support is comprised of a pair of flat support members engageable at one edge of each to define a flat canopy support, each support member having a pair of legs rigidly secured at one end of each to the support member and pivotally connected at the other end of each to the frame whereby the support members can be pivoted between horizontal coplanar positions of engagement with each other and substantially upright positions at the opposite ends of the frame. A lock is provided to hold the support members in their horizontal positions, and a flexible canopy is adapted to be supported by the canopy support so that it encloses the top and sides of the space between the frame and the canopy support. A stretcher can be placed within the space upon the frame when the support members are in their upright positions. |
