An ambulance has two stretcher support stages placed one over the other next to one side wall of the ambulance for taking up stretchers and near the side wall there is a single guiding upright or two spaced guiding uprights, on which runners are guided and on which they may be locked at different heights. On the runners or sleeves, brackets are fixed, more specially by way of horizontal bearings, the stretcher stages being supported on the brackets. Rails running in the length-direction of the ambulance, and designed for supporting the stages, may be changed in length so that the separate runners may undergo separate adjustment in height. The front upright or a support with the same effect is fixed to the side wall of the ambulance or to the ambulance's floor, while the back guiding upright is supported by way of a floor wheel on the ambulance floor, such wheel being fixed directly to the lower end of the upright or to a post on which the upright is supported. Furthermore, the ends of the brackets supporting the lower stage which are nearest to the middle of the ambulance are supported by way of floor wheels on the ambulance floor. The front brackets are joined up by way of bearings (with an upright axis) with the front guiding upright or the support so that the back ends of the two stretcher support stages may be turned towards the middle of the ambulance in a horizontal plane. Furthermore, the guide rails placed towards the middle of the ambulance may be turned about a front upright bearing and may be moved, using a horizontal guide tube with a runner, towards the middle of the ambulance.The back supporting and guiding upright has a locking system for fixing it to the ambulance side wall. Furthermore, the back end of the top stretcher support stage, which is nearer the middle of the ambulance, may be locked with the back door of the ambulance in the transport position by using a locking bolt. |

An electrically actuated wheeled stretcher system which is adapted to provide electrically actuated raising or lowering of a stretcher mounted on a gurney. The system is primarily composed of a stretcher and a gurney, and may be used to transport patients and load and unload the patients by automated transfer of the stretcher from the gurney to other medical equipment, for example, a hyperbaric chamber, and automated transfer from the other medical equipment back on to the gurney. The system further includes an additional electrically actuated fifth wheel configured to provide smoother turning and rotation in place of the system. The system further includes continuous treatment items, such as intravenous fluid and medical gasses to travel with the system. |
