Embodiments of an emergency mat of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The mat body M is made of cloth (tent cloth, etc.) or synthetic leather or natural leather having excellent impact resistance and abrasion resistance, and is formed by dividing into five independent hollow portions. The support mats 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 are formed. Each of the support mats 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 has an air mat 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 made of a flexible and tough airtight material in each hollow portion S thereof. The corresponding support mats can be freely expanded and contracted by injecting and discharging air to and from the mats, and each expansion mat is kept in a predetermined shape during expansion.

Of the five support mats 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, at the front position, three support mats 1, 2, 3 each having a vertically long columnar shape in the front-rear direction are arranged in parallel adjacent to each other. 2 (see FIGS. 1 and 2), and two support mats 4 and 5 each having a triangular prism shape so as to form a mountain-shaped slope in the front-rear direction are combined and combined at the rear position (see FIG. 1 and FIG. 2). 1 to 3). The triangular pillar-shaped support mat 4 located below has a mountain-shaped front slope skirt portion adjacent to the rear ends of the pillar-shaped support mats 1, 2, and 3. The triangular pillar-shaped support mat 5 located above is superposed on the entire rear slope of the triangular pillar-shaped support mat 4 below to form a chevron shape with a higher peak as a whole (Fig. 2 and FIG. 3).

Air mats 6, 7, in each of the support mats
8, 9 and 10 respectively communicate with branch pipes 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20 which are separated by a branch pipe 11 with an opening / closing cock, and are connected to a small air cylinder 12 by a supply pipe 1
3 and the branch pipe 11 are detachably connected to each other via the coupler 14, so that desired support mats can be selected and air can be injected (see FIGS. 4 and 5). At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, the pipe paths of the branch pipes 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20 are set so that the load of the sick and sick is not applied and the conveyance is not hindered.
The emergency mat and the air cylinder 12 are separated so that they can be carried freely. Further, on the opening / closing cocks 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 for sending air to the air mats 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, respectively, a mark (indicated by a number in the drawing) that clearly indicates the corresponding location.
It is desirable to attach (see FIG. 5). The branch pipe 11 with an opening / closing cock is attached to the side surface of the supporting mat 4 having a triangular prism shape below with a cloth piece 15 with a sponge, and the branch pipe 11 with an opening / closing cock can be covered with the cloth piece 15 so as to be concealed (Fig. (See 2), it prevents obstacles such as direct collision with other objects during transportation. Reference numeral 31 is a hook-and-loop fastener that engages the cloth piece 15 when it is concealed.

In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the one-dot chain line shows that the supporting mats 1, 2, by attaching the surface fasteners 21 attached to the outer surfaces of the columnar supporting mats 1, 3 on both sides. 3 is a shape-retaining band 32 for preventing the spread of 3 in the left-right direction. A plurality of pairs of mounting rings 22 mounted around the mat body M are for mounting a belt for fixing a body and a belt for carrying the body, which will be described later. Each mounting ring 22 can also be used as a handle that is directly held during transportation.

Next, the case of using the emergency mat of the present invention to change and maintain the position of a victim will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8.

First, for unconscious victims, see FIG.
Since it is necessary to take a laterally lying position like (a) in (a), air is sent only to the air mats 6 or 8 in the columnar support mat on either the left or right side to inflate it, and all other remaining mats are inflated. By leaving the air deflated, the body of the injured person is turned sideways by the action of the expanded support mats 1 or 3 (see (b) in FIG. 6). In addition, in the case of a patient with abdominal tension such as abdominal pain, it is necessary to raise the head as shown in FIG. The air is sent to only the air mat 9 in the mat to inflate it, and the rest is deflated, and the undulating device (not shown) attached to the stretcher B is used to move the front part of the mat. By standing up diagonally, the body of the victim is placed in a state in which the head is elevated and the knees are bent (see (b) in FIG. 7). Further, in the case of a victim in a shock state due to a decrease in blood pressure, it is necessary to lower the head and raise the feet as shown in (a) of FIG. 8, and therefore, the air mats 9 and 10 in the triangular support mats located above and below. By inflating by sending air to the other and leaving the rest deflated, the inflated support mats 4 and 5 bring the injured person's body to the lower head and higher legs (Fig. 8). (See (b)).

If this emergency mat is always laid on the upper surface of the stretcher waiting for the ambulance, it is possible to immediately convert the patient's body to the required posture in response to the symptoms of the injured person at the emergency site. Further, the air can be injected into the air mat by appropriately selecting the five opening / closing cocks 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 and opening the cocks, and the time required for the air filling is 10 seconds. End within.

Next, when the rescue mat of the present invention is used as a stretcher for transportation on narrow stairs or narrow passages, air mats 6, 7, 8, 9, 1 in all five support mats.

At this time, especially in a narrow passage or a narrow staircase, the support belts 26, 26, 26 can be slid while being carried, so that the carrying is easy, and since the emergency mat is filled with air, it is highly cushioning and safe. is there. The support belt 26
The attachment points may be provided at locations corresponding to the feet, if necessary, or may be provided at two locations in the front and rear.

[0017]

As described above, in the emergency mat according to the present invention, it is possible to inject air by selecting the air mat in each support mat formed by partitioning the mat body, and the expansion of the support mat by the air injection. By enabling the body position to be changed, it is possible to reliably and quickly change the body position according to the symptoms of the injured person.For example, if it is laid on a stretcher in an ambulance that is on standby, an emergency is possible. It can be dealt with immediately at the required emergency site and is optimal from the viewpoint of lifesaving.

The emergency mat can be used as a carrier for carrying by injecting air into all the support mats of the main body of the mat, and a support belt can be used especially in a narrow passage or a narrow stairway where it is difficult to carry the product. Since it is possible to carry the sick person while carrying it around, it is possible to carry out the transportation work quickly without exhausting the physical strength of the emergency personnel, and with the fact that the emergency mat itself has cushioning properties,
It is excellent in safety without causing unnecessary pain to the victim.

Furthermore, if air is removed from the mat body, it is not bulky, is lightweight, is convenient for carrying, and can be carried and used at an emergency site quickly and effectively.
