The invention relates to a strap for carrying a human body, in particular to a strap for carrying a human body which can be used anywhere without an auxiliary tool.
In hospitals and nursing homes, many inpatients have difficulty in mobility because of inconvenience to walk, surgical recovery, psychological disease or disability. In general, it is commonly necessary that needs more than two people who unite their efforts to carry an inpatient in the emergency situations such as fire and earthquake. For this reason, how to quickly adopt a safe and effective carrying means in emergency evacuation situations has become a considerable concern for the carriers.
Therefore, the inventor of the present invention has developed a utility model patent with the Taiwan No. M567626 that relates to a reinforcing strap for mattress which can be arranged under a mattress. Also, in the emergency situations, a carrier is able to conveniently use the reinforcing strap for mattress to carry a patient or an old person along with the mattress to quickly escape from the accident site. However, the person to be carried may not lie in the bed in the right position as an emergency happens. Moreover, it is also possible that the person to be carried may slip and fell over in a bathroom or a kitchen due to a slippery floor, and then causes injury and clumsiness of movement. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for the above-mentioned utility model patent to provide effective assistance. Therefore, the present invention provides a more versatile rescue tool which is developed from the previous successful experience.
It is an object of the invention to solve the problem that the carrying strap in the prior art needs to be matched with a mattress, which features insufficient in versatility.
To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a strap for carrying a human body, which comprises a plurality of longitudinal fixing straps arranged in parallel and at intervals from each other, a plurality of transverse fixing straps arranged in parallel and at intervals from each other, and a plurality of securing pieces. Each of the plurality of longitudinal fixing straps overlaps with each of the plurality of transverse fixing straps, and each of the plurality of securing pieces respectively connects one of the plurality of longitudinal fixing straps and one of the plurality of transverse fixing straps. Further, two ends of each of the plurality of longitudinal fixing straps are adjustably connected to form a loop, and two ends of each of the plurality of transverse fixing straps are adjustably connected to form a loop. The strap for carrying a human body is characterized by comprising a bearing bed, wherein the bearing bed is arranged between the plurality of longitudinal fixing straps, each of the plurality of transverse fixing straps is superposed on the bearing bed. Furthermore, one side of the bearing bed is defined as a bearing surface, and each of the plurality of longitudinal fixing straps and each of the plurality of transverse fixing straps are connected to form a loop on a same side of the bearing surface.
Further, the strap for carrying a human body comprises a first lifting handle positioned between the plurality of longitudinal fixing straps, and the first lifting handle comprises a dragging part.
Further, the strap for carrying a human body comprises a second lifting handle positioned between the plurality of longitudinal fixing straps and spaced apart from the first lifting handle.
Further, the second lifting handle comprises a holding part, two movable rings movably connected with each of the plurality of longitudinal fixing straps respectively, and two limiting parts arranged along each of the plurality of longitudinal fixing straps and arranged at two ends of each of the two movable rings respectively.
Further, the strap for carrying a human body comprises a foot cover positioned between the plurality of longitudinal fixing straps.
Further, the foot cover includes a foot cover strap for a person being carried to pass through a foot, and an interior space between the foot cover strap and the bearing bed.
Further, the strap for carrying the human body comprises a hard plate combined with the bearing bed.
Therefore, compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. by the arrangement of the bearing bed, the strap for carrying a human body is able to support a body of a person to be carried, so that the carriers enable of picking up the person to be carried at any place without matching with tools such as a mattress; and 2. by the arrangement of the holding part which is movable, the two movable rings, the limiting parts and the like, the carriers is able to completely pull up the strap for carrying a human body at a lower degree of constraint, such that the present invention can prevent the person being carried from discomfort with being strapped tightly by the strap during carrying.
Please refer to
In the present embodiment, each of the plurality of longitudinal fixing straps 10 and each of the plurality of transverse fixing straps 20 may be made of nylon, cotton or blended fibers. Each of the plurality of securing pieces 30 may be a sewing thread sewn to each of the plurality of longitudinal fixing straps 10 and each of the plurality of transverse fixing straps 20. Each of the plurality of longitudinal fixing straps 10 disposes corresponding to the length of a human body, and each of the plurality of transverse fixing straps 20 disposed corresponding to the width of a human body. Each of the plurality of longitudinal fixing straps 10 and each of the plurality of transverse fixing straps 20 forms a loop space where a human body is constrained.
More specifically, the strap for carrying a human body 100 includes a bearing bed 40 arranged between the plurality of longitudinal fixing straps 10, each of the plurality of transverse fixing straps 20 is superposed on the bearing bed 40. Furthermore, one side of the bearing bed 40 is defined as a bearing surface, and each of the plurality of longitudinal fixing straps 10 and each of the plurality of transverse fixing straps 20 are connected to form loops on a same side of the bearing surface. In this embodiment, the bearing bed 40 may be made of canvas, plastic cloth or blended fiber. During carrying, a carrier is able to unfold the strap for carrying the human body 100, move the person to be carried to the bearing bed 40, and then fasten each of the plurality of longitudinal fixing straps 10 and each of the plurality of transverse fixing straps 20 to form a loop, so that the body of the person to be carried is firmly constrained in the bearing bed 40. And then, one end of the bearing bed 40, which is the same side of the head of the person to be carried, is lifted and dragged to move. Thus, the purpose of quick and laborsaving carrying is achieved in the present invention.
In addition, the strap for carrying a human body 100 further includes a first lifting handle 50 arranged between the plurality of longitudinal fixing straps 10, and the first lifting handle 50 includes a dragging part 51 for a carrier to carry on a shoulder of the carrier. The dragging part 51 is preferably arranged to have a length that is able to be around an upper torso of the carrier, thereby assisting the carrier to exert force during carrying. Moreover, the strap for carrying a human body 100 further includes a second lifting handle 60 arranged between the plurality of longitudinal fixing straps 10 and spaced apart from the first lifting handle 50 so as to be dragged by a carrier from the other end.
In the present embodiment, a preset position of the second lifting handle 60 is at the foot of the person being carried. Considering when the carrier need to lift feet of the person being carried, a fixed length of the handle may tightly strap the feet of the person being carried and cause discomfort, with reference to
With reference to
In view of the above, the strap for carrying a human body 100 according to the present invention can surely support the body of a person to be carried by the bearing bed 40, so that carriers enable of picking up a person to be carried by the strap for carrying a human body 100 at any place without matching with tools such as a mattress. In addition, by the arrangement of the holding part 61 which is movable, the movable rings 62, the limiting parts 63 and the like, the carrier is able to prevent the feet of the person being carried from being strapped tightly by the strap for carrying a human body 100. Thus, the present invention has the beneficial effect of reducing discomfort.
