Abstract

Cloth carrier intended to lift and transfer an inert human body, injured or ill, comprising a carrying plane and a plurality of handles. The carrying plane is comprised of two rectangular and similar cloth portions (1 and 2) arranged one on the other and made integral by a stitching (3) forming a grid, the handles (4) are comprised of cloth bands and are fixed to the edge of the carrying plane independently from each other, symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal axis of the carrier so that, on each side, a handle is immediately at the vicinity of each hand and two other handles at 1/3 and 7-12 approximately, respectively, of the length. The carrier avoids any handling of the body between the moment when the body is taken in charge and the medical attendance place.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif destiné à déplacer le corps d'une personne, et plus particulièrement un portoir permettant de soulever, transférer voire transporter sur une faible distance un corps humain inerte, blessé ou malade, tendant à faciliter les manipulations dans les formations hospitalières et dans les espaces extra-hospitaliers.The present invention relates to a device intended to move the body of a person, and more particularly a rack making it possible to lift, transfer or even transport over a short distance an inert human body, injured or sick, tending to facilitate handling in hospital formations. and in non-hospital spaces.

La prise en charge d'un corps humain inerte, blessé ou malade, est un problème permanent.Caring for an inert, injured or sick human body is an ongoing problem.

Dans ce domaine, on sait que les matériels le plus communément admis et largement développés, sont fondés sur le principe du brancard ou de la civière. Parallèlement les techniciens hospitaliers et ceux des premiers secours ont mis au point des dispositifs et des matériels relativement plus performants et sophistiqués, mais coûteux, voire contrai-. gnants sur le plan de la maintenance.In this area, we know that the most commonly accepted and widely developed equipment is based on the principle of stretcher or stretcher. At the same time, hospital technicians and first aid technicians have developed relatively more efficient and sophisticated devices and equipment, which are costly or even costly. inconvenient in terms of maintenance.

Depuis longtemps, on a cherché un moyen simple et surtout interchangeable, "banalisable", allant jusqu'à préconiser la constitution de véritables "banques" de matériel, essentiellement centrées sur les formations hospitalières. En effet celles-ci sont l'aboutissement logique du cheminement depuis les lieux de prise en charge et d'autre part l'espace naturel dans lequel le blessé ou le malade sont appelés à être soulevés, transférés, transportés d'un emplacement à un autre, d'un matériel à un autre, voire d'un établissement à un autre plus spécialisé.For a long time, we have been looking for a simple and above all interchangeable, "trivialized" means, going so far as to recommend the creation of real "banks" of equipment, essentially focused on hospital training. Indeed these are the logical outcome of the journey from the places of care and on the other hand the natural space in which the injured or the sick are called to be lifted, transferred, transported from a location to a other, from one material to another, or even from one establishment to another more specialized.

La norme AFNOR NF S 90 311 visait à ce que le brancard, considéré comme étroitement lié au corps humain transporté, soit interchangeable, permettant ainsi un échange facile, à tous les niveaux et à tous les stades du cheminement extra puis infra-hospitalier, entre un brancard "vide" et le brancard "chargé".AFNOR NF S 90 311 aimed to ensure that the stretcher, considered to be closely linked to the transported human body, is interchangeable, thus allowing easy exchange, at all levels and at all stages of the extra journey. then sub-hospital, between an "empty" stretcher and the "loaded" stretcher.

Cependant, la multiplicité des services de secours et de soins a comme conséquence de compliquer et de sophistiquer les moyens en matériels et en hommes, et ce, pour le meilleur traitement de la grande urgence, heureusement peu fréquente, méconnaissant en cela les transports simples et les manipulations quotidiennes. Ainsi aujourd'hui, aucune "banalisation" logistique du matériel n'est réalisée, chaque système voulant récupérer à chaque étape son propre équipement, la plupart du temps très coûteux, et rompant de ce fait à chaque fois l'unité entre le corps humain transporté et le moyen utilisé pour son transport. Le malade ou le blessé subit donc de six à dix transferts, entre divers matériels depuis sa prise en charge, tout au long de son transport extra-hospitalier, à son admission dans la formation hospitalière et lors de son cheminement intra-hospitalier. Ces transferts sont effectués par un, deux, exceptionnellement trois ou. quatre manipulateurs, à la force de leurs mains et de leurs bras, en l'absence d'interchangeabilité entre les matériels. Il s'ensuit toute une série de manipulations, inconfortables pour les manipulateurs et souvent préjudiciables au blessé ou malade manipulé.However, the multiplicity of rescue and care services has the consequence of complicating and sophisticated means in terms of materials and men, and this, for the best treatment of the great emergency, fortunately infrequent, ignoring in this simple transport and daily manipulations. So today, no logistical "trivialization" of the material is carried out, each system wanting to recover at each stage its own equipment, most of the time very expensive, and thereby breaking each time the unity between the human body transported and the means used for its transport. The patient or injured person therefore undergoes from six to ten transfers, between various materials since his care, throughout his extra-hospital transport, upon admission to hospital training and during his intra-hospital journey. These transfers are made by one, two, exceptionally three or. four manipulators, using their hands and arms, in the absence of interchangeability between the materials. This results in a whole series of manipulations, uncomfortable for the manipulators and often harmful to the injured or ill being handled.

Des solutions visant à permettre une manipulation simplifiée ont été proposées, et décrites par exemple au brevet français 2.465.475. Le dispositif décrit dans ce brevet comporte une toile dans laquelle sont formées des poignées par découpe de la toile et renforcement des bords; il est destiné à se substituer à un brancard, mais se révèle peu avantageux par sa structure, et il pêche par la régularité de la disposition des poignées le long du plan de portage, laquelle ne respecte pas la répartition non homogène du poids des différentes structures anatomiques humaines. Ainsi la manipulation à l'aide de ce dispositif ou de ceux qui en sont dérivés entraine-t-elle un déséquilibre et.des efforts inégaux de la part de ceux qui manipulent, rendant la manoeuvre aléatoire voire inconfortable, autant pour celui qui est porté que pour ceux qui l'effectuent. Le brevet US 2.788.530 décrit un dispositif de sauvetage relativement complexe comportant une toile renforcée sur ses bords, complétée par des poignées réparties régulièrement. Outre sa complexité, ce dispositif présente les mêmes inconvénients que ci-dessus. Le fait aussi que les sangles formant poignées passent sous le plan de portage dans un souci de meilleur support, impose dans la réalité des contraintes au corps placé dessus qui ne correspondent pas obligatoirement aux points d'appui naturels, lesquels sont variables d'un corps à l'autre. La fabrication industrielle de tels dispositifs dans des matériaux à base de diverses matières notamment du plastique, engendre une dégradation rapide de ce type de matériel vulnérable dans sa matière et au niveau des coutures ou soudures, et, de toutes façons, interdit l'entretien par le lavage en machine à 100 degrés, voire la stérilisation, condition indispensable pour, une utilisation hospitalière.Solutions intended to allow simplified handling have been proposed, and described for example in French patent 2,465,475. The device described in this patent comprises a canvas in which handles are formed by cutting the canvas and strengthening the edges; it is intended to replace a stretcher, but is not very advantageous by its structure, and it fishes by the regularity of the arrangement of the handles along the carrying plane, which does not respect the non-homogeneous distribution of the weight of the different structures human anatomical. Thus manipulation using this device or those derived therefrom does it cause an imbalance and unequal efforts on the part of those who handle, making the maneuver random or even uncomfortable, as much for the one who is worn as for those who carry it out. US Patent 2,788,530 describes a relatively complex rescue device comprising a reinforced canvas on its edges, supplemented by regularly distributed handles. Besides its complexity, this device has the same drawbacks as above. The fact also that the straps forming handles pass under the carrying plane for the sake of better support, in reality imposes constraints on the body placed on them which do not necessarily correspond to the natural support points, which are variable from one body to the other. The industrial manufacture of such devices in materials based on various materials including plastic, generates rapid degradation of this type of vulnerable material in its material and at the seams or welds, and, in any case, prohibits maintenance by machine washing at 100 degrees, or even sterilization, an essential condition for hospital use.

Tous les autres dispositifs connus sont, soit inadaptés à la pluralité des situations, soit uniquement adaptés à un type précis de situation.All the other known devices are either unsuitable for the plurality of situations, or only suitable for a specific type of situation.

La présente invention a pour objet un portoir évitant les inconvénients précités et permettant de faire en sorte que le corps humain inerte, blessé ou malade, soit placé une fois pour toutes sur celui-ci, réduisant les manipulations au minimum (deux) entre la prise en charge et la mise soit sur le lit hospitalier de réception, soit sur le matériel de réception au niveau du plateau technique rendu nécessaire par son état (radiologie, pansement, explorations, bloc opératoire).The present invention relates to a rack avoiding the aforementioned drawbacks and making it possible for the inert human body, injured or sick, to be placed once and for all thereon, reducing handling to a minimum (two) between the taking in charge and placing either on the hospital reception bed, or on the reception equipment at the level of the technical platform made necessary by its condition (radiology, dressing, explorations, operating room).

L'invention a également pour objet un portoir en toile de fabrication simple et peu coûteuse, d'utilisation aisée pour soulever et transférer un corps, et le cas échéant pour le transporter sur une courte distance.The invention also relates to a canvas rack of simple and inexpensive manufacturing, easy to use for lift and transfer a body, and if necessary to transport it for a short distance.

L'invention a encore pour objet un portoir réalisé intégralement en toile d'entretien aisé par lavage à température élevée ou autoclave, permettant son utilisation en milieu hospitalier.The invention also relates to a rack made entirely of easy-care fabric by washing at high temperature or autoclave, allowing its use in a hospital environment.

Le portoir en toile selon l'invention est du type comportant un plan de portage associé à une pluralité de poignées, et se distingue notamment en ce que le plan de portage est constitué de deux toiles rectangulaires identiques placées l'une sur l'autre et solidarisées par un surpiquage suivant un quadrillage, les poignées sont constituées de bandes de toile et sont fixées au bord du plan de portage indépendamment les unes aux autres, symétriquement par rapport à l'axe longitudinal du portoir, de telle sorte que, sur chaque côté, une poignée soit immédiatement à proximité de chaque extrémité et deux autres poignées à 1/3 et 7/12 environ, respectivement,. de la longueur.The canvas rack according to the invention is of the type comprising a carrying plane associated with a plurality of handles, and is distinguished in particular in that the carrying plane consists of two identical rectangular fabrics placed one on the other and secured by an overstitching along a grid, the handles are made of strips of canvas and are fixed to the edge of the carrying plane independently of each other, symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal axis of the rack, so that, on each side , one handle is immediately near each end and two other handles at 1/3 and 7/12 approximately, respectively ,. of the length.

Selon une forme préférentielle de réalisation de l'invention, les poignées, au nombre de huit, sont fixées sur les bords du plan de portage, entre les deux toiles, par surpiquage, quatre poignées sur chaque longueur. Le cas échéant, une ou deux poignées supplémentaires sont fixées de la même façon à chaque extrémité, sur les petits côtés du plan de portage.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the handles, eight in number, are fixed on the edges of the carrying plane, between the two fabrics, by topstitching, four handles on each length. If necessary, one or two additional handles are fixed in the same way at each end, on the short sides of the carrying plane.

Suivant une forme avantageuse de réalisation, le portoir a une dimension de 1,80mx0,55m et dans ce cas les poignées extrêmes sont placées à 5cm environ de l'extrémité de la longueur et un intervalle de 30cm sépare la deuxième poignée de la première, et la troisième de la deuxième, tandis que chaque poignée, en forme de demi-boucle occupe une largeur de 15cm environ, ces valeurs pouvant varier de 2 à 3cm.According to an advantageous embodiment, the rack has a dimension of 1.80mx0.55m and in this case the extreme handles are placed about 5cm from the end of the length and an interval of 30cm separates the second handle from the first, and the third of the second, while each handle, in the form of a half-loop occupies a width of approximately 15cm, these values being able to vary from 2 to 3cm.

Il est important, conformément à l'invention, que le portoir soit constitué de deux toiles identiques, par exemple en lin et en coton, fixées l'une sur l'autre par un surpiquage en quadrillage. Cette disposition procure en effet d'excellents résultats en ce qui concerne la résistance et la stabilité dimensionnelle. De plus, les bords de chaque toile sont repliés vers l'intérieur, de telle sorte que le repli de l'une des toiles soit contre le repli de l'autre, et que les poignées soient fixées entre ces replis. Cette disposition permet de procurer une résistance suffisante.It is important, in accordance with the invention, that the rack consists of two identical fabrics, for example of linen and cotton, fixed one on the other by a stitching in grid. This arrangement in fact provides excellent results with regard to strength and dimensional stability. In addition, the edges of each fabric are folded inward, so that the fold of one of the fabrics is against the fold of the other, and the handles are fixed between these folds. This arrangement provides sufficient resistance.

Il peut être avantageux suivant l'invention, de replier les bords de chaque toile suivant les quatre côtés de manière à former un renforcement en bordure du plan de portage, qui améliore la résistance du portoir et son maintien lorsqu'il est soulevé par les poignées. Suivant une variante, ce renforcement peut être obtenu en fixant une ou plusieurs bandes de toiles sur le bord du plan de portage, sur l'une des toiles ou sur les deux. La fixation se fait par surpiquage.According to the invention, it may be advantageous to fold the edges of each fabric along the four sides so as to form a reinforcement at the edge of the carrying plane, which improves the resistance of the rack and its retention when it is lifted by the handles. . According to a variant, this reinforcement can be obtained by fixing one or more strips of fabrics on the edge of the carrying plane, on one of the fabrics or on both. The fixing is done by stitching.

Dans cette variante en particulier, il est avantageux de fixer ce renforcement de manière à ce qu'il forme un fourreau, sur chaque bord du plan de portage, permettant la mise en place d'un moyen accessoire de rigidification tel que .barre ou longeron. Ce fourreau peut comporter une ouverture dans sa partie centrale, sur la longueur du portoir, et dans ce cas les longerons sont formés par deux barres qui s'assemblent par emboîtement ou clippage au milieu. L'ouverture permet de déverrouiller les deux barres.In this variant in particular, it is advantageous to fix this reinforcement so that it forms a sheath, on each edge of the carrying plane, allowing the installation of an accessory stiffening means such as .bar or spar . This sheath can have an opening in its central part, along the length of the rack, and in this case the side members are formed by two bars which are assembled by interlocking or clipping in the middle. The opening allows the two bars to be unlocked.

Selon l'invention, les inconvénients des dispositifs connus sont évités, le portoir comportant un plan de portage réalisé avec deux pièces de toile identiques, cousues entre elles face contre face suivant un quadrillage, offrant un espace en lisière, où sont introduites au moins huit poignées indépendantes les unes des autres (quatre le long de chaque grand côté du plan de portage), confectionnées dans le même type de toile, lesquelles sont prises dans le surpiquage et les replis de renforcement des lisières, conférant l'homogénéité originale du dispositif.According to the invention, the drawbacks of known devices are avoided, the rack comprising a carrying plane produced with two identical pieces of canvas, sewn together face to face along a grid, offering a space at the edge, where at least eight are introduced. handles independent of each other (four along each large side of the carrying plane), made in the same type of canvas, which are caught in the stitching and the reinforcement folds of the selvedges, giving the original homogeneity of the device.

Aucun autre matériau, à l'exception du fil naturel utilisé pour les surpiquages, n'entre dans la confection du dispositif, lui conférant solidité et possibilité d'être lavé en machine à 1000C avec adjonction d'un liquide aseptisant (eau de javel par exemple), voire d'être stérilisé à l'autoclave au même titre que le linge chirurgical.No other material, with the exception of natural thread used for topstitching, enters into the making of the device, giving it solidity and possibility of being machine washed at 100 ° C. with the addition of a sanitizing liquid (water bleach for example), or even to be sterilized in an autoclave in the same way as surgical linen.

En repliant la partie du portoir située entre les poignées consécutives les plus largement espacées et en faisant coin- cider en superposition très exactement les poignées entre elles, on obtient une réduction de la longueur du plan de portage, permettant le levage, le transfert et le transport éventuel sur une faible distance d'un corps d'enfant. Le fait de pouvoir être plié dans sa totalité donc facilement stocké. est un avantage supplémentaire.By folding the part of the rack located between the most widely spaced consecutive handles and making the handles overlap very exactly between them, we obtain a reduction in the length of the carrying plane, allowing lifting, transfer and possible transport over a short distance of a child's body. The fact that it can be folded in its entirety therefore easily stored. is an added advantage.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple non limitatif en référence au dessin annexé dans lequel :

  • La figure 1 représente le dispositif dans son ensemble, montrant en particulier la position exacte, non régulièrement espacées, des poignées, le long du plan de portage.

Other characteristics and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description which follows, given solely by way of nonlimiting example with reference to the appended drawing in which:
  • Figure 1 shows the device as a whole, showing in particular the exact position, not evenly spaced, of the handles, along the carrying plane.
  • FIG. 2 represents a first variant of the device in that it comprises additional handles along the two short sides of the carrying plane, allowing the translation of one material to another placed in its extension, without lifting.

  • Figure 6 and Figure 7 show the detail of the mounting of the stiffening means between them.

Le dispositif selon les figures 1 et 2, implique la manipulation par quatre personnes, ou éventuellement trois. Cependant le nombre de personnes disponibles peut être réduit à deux. Dans ce cas il est prévu des moyens de rigidification du dispositif selon les figures de 4 à 7, permettant la manipulation par deux personnes seulement.The device according to Figures 1 and 2, involves handling by four people, or possibly three. However, the number of people available can be reduced to two. In this case, means are provided for stiffening the device according to the figures from 4 to 7, allowing handling by only two people.

Comme le montrent les figures, le portoir suivant l'invention comprend deux toiles (1 et 2) rectangulaires, identiques, fixées l'une sur l'autre par un surpiquage (3) suivant un quadrillage en lignes parallèles aux côtés. Quatre poignées (4) sont fixées sur chaque côté, et, le cas échéant deux poignées supplémentaires sont fixées à chaque extrémité (fig. 2).As shown in the figures, the rack according to the invention comprises two identical rectangular fabrics (1 and 2) fixed one on the other by an over-stitching (3) according to a grid in lines parallel to the sides. Four handles (4) are fixed on each side, and if necessary two additional handles are fixed at each end (fig. 2).

La figure 3 montre, en vue agrandie, la fixation des poignées. Les bords des toiles (1) et (2) sont repliés vers l'intérieur, et les pattes de la poignée (4) sont placées entre les replis (5) et (6), puis l'ensemble est solidarisé par surpiquage.Figure 3 shows, in enlarged view, the fixing of the handles. The edges of the fabrics (1) and (2) are folded inwards, and the tabs of the handle (4) are placed between the folds (5) and (6), then the assembly is secured by stitching.

Selon la·seconde variante de la figure 4, on dispose le long des quatre côtés du plan de portage, à faible distance des lisières, des bandes de tissu (7) et (8) formant un fourreau pour le passage des moyens de rigidification comme montré sur la figure 5. Ces bandes découpées dans le même matériau que le dispositif sont surpiquées de façon à ménager aux quatre coins de la surface du plan de portage un angle libre permettant le passage et le montage des moyens de rigidification. Ces bandes peuvent être remplacées par des pièces de tissu tubulaires préalablement préparées, confectionnées dans un matériau identique ou compatible avec celui du dispositif.According to the second variant of FIG. 4, there are strips of fabric (7) and (8) forming a sheath for the passage of the stiffening means along the four sides of the carrying plane, at a short distance from the selvedges. shown in Figure 5. These strips cut from the same material as the device are topstitched so as to provide at the four corners of the surface of the carrying plane a free angle allowing the passage and mounting of the stiffening means. These strips can be replaced by pieces of tubular fabric previously prepared, made from a material identical or compatible with that of the device.

Les moyens de rigidification selon les figures 6 et 7 se composent de deux longerons (9) pouvant s'insérer dans les pièces de tissu formant fourreau disposées le long des deux grands côtés du plan de portage et de deux pièces transversales (10), pouvant s'insérer dans les pièces de tissu formant fourreau disposées le long des deux petits côtés du plan de portage et coopérant avec les deux longerons (9) pour for- mer le cadre rigidificateur.
