Abstract: An Evacu Zip and Carry Strap with Clamp device has a body generally rectangular in shape with a chest merging to a neck that widens to a shoulder. From the shoulder, a cover and a spaced below lower jaw extend opposite the neck. Beneath the cover, an upper jaw pivots upon a pin to mutually engage teeth with teeth upon the lower jaw. A knob joined to a shaft advances a rod to move the upper jaw from an open position to a closed position. In the closed position, the device grips a pillowtop or other material for rapid conversion of it into a stretcher for evacuation. The knob to turns towards counterclockwise for closing the upper jaw to the lower jaw. The invention also includes a strap extending from the chest. An alternate embodiment includes lighting directed towards the two jaws.
