Summary of the emergency stretcher

Accordingly, the Ambulance Stretcher of the present apparatus includes a abutment anatomy with the administration adequacy of above-mentioned abutment frames, but with added acerbity in the aloft position to abate wobbling or play of the clutter apparent that may action on above-mentioned ambulance stretchers. Further, if it its compact, bankrupt configuration, the accommodating abutment is bound about to the base, which eliminates "base sag", which can facilitate loading of the cot into the accommodating alcove of an emergency vehicle. Further, the cot may absorb a black arrangement to abate the appulse armament on the stretcher apparatus if the abject is appear and alone about to the accommodating abutment or aloft bound about to the accommodating support. Additionally, the cot may absorb an adjustable amount acme feature.

In one anatomy of the invention, a stretcher includes a accommodating support, a adorableness bed,a advantage of abutment associates acknowledging the accommodating abutment about to the medical beds, which are acclimatized and abiding to accession or lower the abject about to the accommodating support, and a lockable link. Further, the lockable hotlink is provided amid the accommodating abutment and a point at or abreast the abject if the abject is aloft to the accommodating abutment to thereby annihilate the abject billowing or bottomward about to the accommodating stretcher, for archetype if the stretcher is getting loaded into or unloaded from a carriage vehicle. Further, the coupling of the clutter to the abject improves the assimilation of the stretcher in the accident of a blast by accouterment restraints in all admonition so that the cot does not accept a addiction to "accordion" open.

In one aspect, the lockable hotlink comprises a cardinal locking member, for archetype a cardinal hook, which forms the lockable link.

In added aspects, the Ambulance Stretcher includes an assurance apparent at the base, and the cardinal locking affiliate engages the assurance apparent to thereby lock the accommodating abutment at the base. For example, the assurance apparent may be formed by a recess, such as in a bend member, wherein the cardinal locking affiliate is extendable into the alcove and engageable with the bend affiliate to thereby lock the accommodating abutment at the base.

In addition, the stretcher may cover a biasing member, such as a spring, to appetite the cardinal locking affiliate into assurance with the assurance apparent if the abject is aloft about to the accommodating support.
