Definitions
- the invention consists of a floating stretcher made for example from '' a polyamide fabric coated with polyurethane (ref 1015/2 from the company Pennel & Flipo) or any other material.
- the belt also includes inflatable elements (26) arranged at the level of the injured person's chest when the latter is in a dorsal position
- the belt clip (2) is a wide Velcro (registered trademark) (32).
- the belt is shaped so as to surround the injured person under the armpits making it possible to center the injured person in height and in width on the stretcher
- the stretcher also comprises a pad (28) of thin foam for supporting the neck of the injured at the central area of the inflatable part (1) allowing, on the one hand, good lumbar support for the injured and, on the other hand, to prevent the stretcher from offsetting when carried out of the water
- the rescue and rescue device according to the invention is substantially in the form of a backpack.
- - attachment means for example "Velcro” (registered trademark) type bands to keep the stretcher rolled up, of different colors making it easy to identify them under the conditions of use
- - fixing means for an inflation cartridge for example "Velcro” (registered trademark) type bands to keep the stretcher rolled up, of different colors making it easy to identify them under the conditions of use
- the design difficulty lies in the good distribution of the air insufflation to avoid any overturning or tilting. It is necessary to do this to put the injured person in the back position using floats (5) integrated in the belt. In addition, it is imperative that the distribution of air in the inflatable part (1) is carried out as homogeneously as possible.
- the inflatable part (1) to comprise at least one front compartment (20a), a right rear compartment (20b) and a left rear compartment (20c).
- each compartment has an independent air intake duct allowing simultaneous and balanced air distribution during the blowing
- the inflatable elements (26) arranged at the waist and the inflatable part (1) are connected to the same insufflation system (see FIG. 8).
- the shape of the underside of the stretcher should at best approach the shape of the groove caused by the towing boat (13) in order to obtain the best comfort.
- the constant speed tractor smooths the surface of the water behind it to avoid shock waves caused by ripples.
- it is advisable to provide stabilizers of the deveve (14) or fin (15) type.
- - small capacity scuba tank for example 4 liter block at 200 bar or 800 liters of available air.
- a maximum of 200 liters is used for inflation and the rest can supply the injured person with a breathing mask or regulator (supply of air or oxygen).
- the bottle or cartridge can be inserted inside a protective pocket (17) under or next to the injured person or even on the boat with a connection.
- This stretcher can be optionally fitted with attachments for hoist towing or other means facilitating land movement compatible with current equipment.
- a mask (19) can be provided for oxygenating the injured person.
- FIG. 3 shows another possible embodiment of the invention.
- the inflatable part In the storage position of the stretcher, the inflatable part is wound above and below the bottles (18) which are fixed on a rigid support (24) while in FIG. 1, the inflatable part is wound around the bottles. (18).
- Figure 9 there is shown another preferred embodiment.
- the central area of the inflatable part (1) has a reinforcement plate (33) at the level of the injured person's feet.
- the stretcher also has a strap (34) at the level of the injured person's shins.
- a strap (34) at the level of the injured person's shins.
- the reinforcement plate (33) as it is arranged is an ideal support for the winding of the lower zone of the inflatable part when it is deflated, allowing a more homogeneous and more compact shape of the stretcher in position. storage (see Figure 10).
- the device comprises at least one drain valve (35) located in the center of the device by folding the stretcher.
- the inflatable part being folded from the outside towards the interior of the rescue device, it is difficult to empty the air by the ends of the stretcher and the central position of the drain valve facilitates the expulsion of the air. 10
- the stretcher in the storage position, is immersed in water and then taken out again, it tends, if it is not then deployed, to store a large quantity of water in the different folds, which has the effect of increasing the mass of the wound stretcher.
- the invention advantageously comprises perforations provided with eyelets (not shown).
- the floats (5), the belt (2), the inflatable part (1) are inseparable.
- This stretcher can be used:
- the performance of a rescuer must be calculated in terms of the length of the monitored area. Thanks to a boat and stretcher assembly, efficiency is all the more important as the number of rescuers is halved for the same supervised area. Severe and permanent prevention considerably reduces the number of interventions.
- the reduced cost of investment and operation of a boat and stretcher assembly allows better prevention.
- the stretcher can fit in the trunk (16) of the traction boat provided for this purpose and does not in any way disturb the pilot or the maneuverability of the boat.
- intervention on an injured and conscious person with a hydrojet (turbine) it is possible to approach very close without danger, unlike all other motorized boats.
- the conscious wounded person can immediately agglomerate the time to unroll the stretcher, fix it to the boat and trigger inflation.
- the injured person (4) can then sit in the prone position and grip the handles (10) of the stretcher. This type of intervention is very effective, whether in calm or very agitated weather.
- the device can also be used as a backup device for underwater interventions.
