Method and device for rescuing injured people

摘要

The invention relates to a method and device provided in the form of a carrying device for transporting an injured person in a horizontal reclined position. Said device is comprised of two belts whose ends are joined to one another. One of the belts is placed around the upper body and the other belt is placed around the thighs of the injured person. The ends of the belts are provided with a shared coupling element, by means of which they can be coupled to a lowered end of a rescue line. The aim of the invention is to use simple means to provide the ability to fasten both belts at once to the injured person by using a handle, to then separate both belts from one another using a second handle, and to slide the second belt under the buttocks of the injured person. The invention is based on the above-mentioned rescue device developed by Professor Schwindt and is characterized in that both belts, when in a standby position, are closely positioned next to one another in a parallel manner and are detachably joined to one another while forming a strand. In addition, means are provided with which the joining between both belts can be released, and one end of both belts is coupled or to be coupled to the coupling element whereas the other belt end can be coupled to the first-mentioned end or to the coupling element.
