  • Patent number: 4790051
    Abstract: A strong, flexible, waterproof, odorproof pouch for transporting dead human bodies comprising an outer envelope that encases and is sealed at the outer edges to a transparent inner liner within which is placed the body or bodies to be moved. The outer envelope has a primary panel and the inner liner has a complementing secondary panel for gaining access to the interior of the inner liner to place or examine the remains therein. The primary panel is sealable using a heavy duty, zipper-type, slide fastener, to handle the weight and stresses of movement and the secondary panel is sealable against the odors and fluids of decomposition using a rib-and-groove, zip-lock type fastener. The outer envelope is supported and carried by two or more lengthwise straps and two or more widthwise straps attached to the underside of the outer envelope, which straps have extensions looped at their ends to form handholds.
