Abstract: According to the present invention, when a stretcher mounted in an ambulance car is used at an intermediate position with legs being folded, the stretcher can be moved forward and backward and left and right by rotatable casters. The stretcher (100) is provided with front leg fixed casters (23) fixed to front legs of the stretcher (100), and rotatable auxiliary casters (24) provided above the casters (23). When the stretcher (100) is set to the intermediate position, rotatable auxiliary casters (39) contact the ground in place of the front leg fixed casters (23), and together with the rotatable rear casters (24), make the stretcher (100) movable forward and backward and left and right.

Abstract: A stretcher (100) has casters on front legs (15) and rear legs (17), an upper frame (11) on the upper part of which a stretcher body is placed, constant load springs (28,29) in a slide mechanism for vertically varying the position of the upper frame (11), and mechanical locking devices (32,33) for stopping the upper frame at desired positions. The stretcher (100) further has a lock mechanism (31) for locking front leg-assisting frames (16), for supporting the front legs, so as not to slide, and has rear leg-assisting frames (18) for supporting the front legs (15), the front leg-assisting frames (16), and the rear legs (17).

Abstract: A stretcher fixture installed on the floor surface of the cargo bed of an ambulance or the like to fix a stretcher on the cargo bed of the ambulance or the like, characterized by having a front hook which is mounted on the front floor surface of the cargo bed of an ambulance or the like to fix the front part of the stretcher; and a lock plate which is installed on the rear floor surface and has a lock piece engaging with a lock supporter installed in the rear part of the stretcher.

Abstract: A highly safe stretcher that can be moved up and down smoother and where are stopper mechanism is more reliable, so that the stretcher can be correctly handled by ambulance crews. A stretcher (100) has casters on front legs (15) and rear legs (17), an upper frame (11) on the upper part of which a stretcher body is placed, constant load springs (28,29) in a slide mechanism for vertically varying the position of the upper frame (11), and mechanical locking devices (32,33) for stopping the upper frame at desired positions. The stretcher (100) further has a lock mechanism (31) for locking front leg-assisting frames (16), for supporting the front legs, so as not to slide, and has rear leg-assisting frames (18) for supporting the front legs (15), the front leg-assisting frames (16), and the rear legs (17). The stretcher (100) is characterized in that rollers (36) are provided between supporting portions of the lock mechanism (31) and of the rear leg-assisting frames (18) and a center rail (14).
