Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an emergency rescue mat used to rescue a non-walkable person living in a facility such as a hospital or an elderly home in the event of an emergency disaster such as a fire or earthquake. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In the event of an emergency disaster such as a fire or earthquake,
Conventionally, since a stretcher, a cart, or the like is mainly used, and a person who cannot walk is carried on these, they have the following problems.

[0003] In the case of a stretcher, at least two carriers (nurses or nurses) are required, and if the number of carriers is small, there are cases where not all of them can be rescued. In the event of a fire or earthquake, the elevators are stopped and cannot be used, so they must be rescued through corridors or stairs. It is hard work. In the case of a trolley, the stairs cannot be moved up and down freely.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the problems described in the prior art.
An object of the present invention is to provide an emergency rescue mat that can freely go up and down a corridor and stairs, and can carry a person unable to walk by towing alone.

[0005]

An urgent rescue mat according to the present invention comprises a flexible mat provided with a rotating means such as a caster on the back surface thereof, and a tightening means for fastening a human body to the front surface of the mat. And a flexible handle for pulling the mat is provided at a front portion of the mat.

[0006]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. As shown in FIGS. ing.

The mat 1 has a foldable flexibility which is used as a normal exercise tool.

As shown in FIG. 2, for example, the turning means A is provided with a caster 3 mounted on a plate 2 made of wood, metal, hard plastic or the like, and a surface fastener is mounted on the upper surface of the plate 2.
4 is affixed.

On the back surface of the mat 1, as shown in FIG.
A plurality (three in this example) of grooves 5 parallel to the short side of the mat 1
Is provided.

At the bottom of the groove 5 of the mat 1, a hook-and-loop fastener 6 fitted to the hook-and-loop fastener 2 stuck to the plate 2 of the rotating means A is stuck.

As shown in FIG. 4, the turning means A is mounted in the groove 5 of the mat 1, and the hook-and-loop fastener 4 of the turning means A is fitted into the hook-and-loop fastener 6 of the groove 5 of the mat 1. . Thereby, the rotating means A can be fixed to the back surface of the mat 1. Note that the plate member 2 of the rotating means A may be directly attached to the groove 5 of the mat 1 by a fastening tool such as a screw or a binding wire, and the attaching method is not particularly limited.

A tightening means B for fastening a human body to the surface of the mat 1 is provided. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the tightening means B has a band 7, 7 ′ made of cloth such as canvas sewn to the side of the mat 1.

A hook-and-loop fastener 8 is provided on the upper surface of the tip of the band 7.
And a surface fastener (not shown) fitted to the surface fastener 8 of the band 7 is attached to the back surface of the tip of the band 7 '.

The bands 7, 7 'constituting the tightening means B are usually mounted in three sets for fastening the armpits, waist, and legs, but the present invention is not limited to this. The number of sets can be freely increased or decreased.

It is also possible to use a normal buckle or the like instead of the hook-and-loop fastener attached to the bands 7, 7 '.

At the front of the mat 1, there is provided a handle 9 having flexibility for pulling the mat 1.

The handle 9 is, for example, as shown in FIG.
It is made of cloth, leather, etc., has flexibility, and is sewn to the side surface of the mat 1.

Considering the vertical movement of the stairs and the physique of the towing person, it is convenient to form a two-stage structure as shown in FIG. 1, for example.

At the time of implementation, a person who is unable to walk is tightened on the surface of the mat 1 with the bands 7 and 7 ', and then the handle 9 is pulled and carried out. At this time, since the mat 1 is equipped with the rotating means A, it can be easily towed by one person.

Further, since the mat 1 has flexibility, the stairs can be easily moved up and down. Since a caster is used for the rotating means A, the direction of the mat 1 can be freely changed.

Since the handle 9 is flexible, when descending the stairs, the handle 9 is hung on the shoulder of the carry-out person, the tip of the mat 1 is lifted, and the person who cannot walk The head of the person can be moved as if lifted, thereby alleviating the pain of a person unable to walk.

[0022]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects. In the event of an emergency disaster such as a fire or earthquake, a person unable to walk can be carried out to a safe place by a single carry-out person. Even when the elevator stops and the elevator cannot be used, it can be carried out through the stairs. Since a single exporter can carry out the cargo, the rescue efficiency is doubled as compared with a conventional stretcher. Since the structure is simple, mass production can be performed at low cost.
