Description
SPECIFICATION
This harness relates to "A harness for rescuing trapped or injured patients"
The accepted past practice to rescue victims from a confined or restricted space has been, To secure the patient to a lifting harness and extract offering no protection from injury do to abrasion or obstructions .
Or if you wanted to protect the patient from injury you would then first have to secure them to a rigid support and then attach a separate lifting system over this.
This procedure is very time consuming and complicated requiring at least two separate types of rigging.
With my invention I have overcome these disadvantages by constructing a lifting system and a backboard into a garment, with an independently moving headharness.
The head restraint slides up and down through slots provided in the backboard, this allows the patients body to stay as a unit when the system is being lifted and compensates for patient slippage.
Providing superior patient protection while giving a high degree of upper body stabilization and control.
My invention is also of modular design with two threaded attachment points built into the harness backboard, this provides for the quick attachment of a skid plate, which is currently being drafted for patent filing.
This modular design is unique to my invention and will provide for a quicker and easier use Fig. l Shows a front view of harness # 1 is the main lifting ring for harness #2 is the head harness which slides up and down in slots #3 built into garment and backboard.
#4 is a Velcro chest strap designed to help reduce verticle slippage during verticle lifts Adjustable D rings and straps #5 secure upper body by criss crossing to attachment points #6 on back of harness.
There us a removable backboard, which is, secured in a pocket #7 with a Velcro closure #8 The leg bib with adjustable attachments #9 attach to fasteners #10 located on back of harness.
Flg#2 Is a front view of harness showing how to correctly locate and attach patients leg straps #9 to attachment points #10 and also the correct attachment of chest restraining strap #4 Fig#3 Another front view of harness with upper body straps fastened #5 to attachment points #6 also the head harness #2 is secured by chinstrap # 1 l and forehead strap # 12 Fig#4 Back view of harness shows built in access points # 13 for accepting skid plate module "notshown"
Fig#5 Removable backboard fits into pocket #7 fig #1 this board has slots #14 and threaded attachment points# 15 for accepting skid plate module

1. This harness readies the patient for rescue by securing patient to a half board, this is accomplished by two upper thigh quick connect straps, one Velcro upper chest strap, two crisscrossing quick connect upper body straps, and a traveling head harness, all sewn into a single garment capable of being used as a lifting or lowering harness.
2. It has a removable backboard with two slots that the head restraining cradle slides up and down in, this allows for easy and quick adjustment to a wide range of patient size, and compensates for patient slippage when victim is being raised or lowered vertically, minimizing any stress to patients head and spine
3. Its modular in design with two bolt on attachment points built into backboard and accessed through holes provided in back of harness, these are for the quick attachment of other rescue aids such as a skid plate.
4. The claims in 1. 2. And 3. combined in a single rescue harness is unique to the field of confined space rescue.
5. This harness is a vertical - horizontal rescue system that provides a high degree of patient control, stabilization and protection which can be applied as a single rescue system in confined spaces that prior art can not.
