PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an emergency vehicle capable of easily loading a stretcher.
SOLUTION: This emergency vehicle has a loading compartment (2) which houses the movable stretcher (15) provided with two truss head pins (23, 24) at the front and rear ends. The loading compartment has a width less than a length of the stretcher (15) and comprises a longitudinal opening (6) for passing the stretcher (15), a locking unit (28) located in one edge facing the longitudinal opening (6) for locking one of two pins (23, 24), and a guide unit (29) recessing from the longitudinal opening (6) on the same plane with the locking unit (28). One of the pins (23, 24) of the guide unit (29) slides when the other pin is inserted.

A patient transport loading and unloading apparatus for an emergency vehicle includes at least one support configured for mounting at the access opening of the vehicle and a stationary mount. The support is deployable relative to the stationary mount between a stowed position (in which the support cannot support the patient transport apparatus) and a loading position. Further, the support is configured to remain stationary when the patient transport apparatus is loaded onto the support and while the patient transport apparatus is moved into the vehicle through the access opening. |

A simple, adjustable lift system to load a cot bearing a patient into and out of an ambulance and a method of transferring a load on a transport into a vehicle is provided. More specifically, the lift system provides a pair of rails that may be adjusted to accommodate any cot currently in use by an ambulance. The rail system is extendable and is operated by a linear actuator to couple to a cot or other transport and lift the cot or other transport to a height from which the cot may be laterally inserted into the ambulance without undue strain on the EMT, firefighter, or other user. |

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. |

An ambulance stretcher support is described for an ambulance having a floor with a top floor surface. In one embodiment, each support includes a stretcher leg receiving member that is adapted to releasably receive an ambulance stretcher leg. A base, configured to be mounted to the ambulance floor, mounts the stretcher leg receiving member for movement between a position substantially coplanar with the top floor surface, and a position below the top floor surface. A vibration reduction device is mounted between the base and the stretcher leg receiving member such that the stretcher leg can be releasably supported on the stretcher leg receiving member and the vibration reduction device will reduce transfer of vibration from the ambulance floor to the stretcher. |
