The present disclosure includes litter platform support and positioning systems described generally comprising at least one lift column mounted to an interior floor in an emergency vehicle or structure. The lift column is connected to at least one support assembly, the at least one support assembly adapted to receive and position a litter assembly. In some implementations, the support assembly is connected to the lift column and adapted to independently adjust the litter assembly vertically, laterally, longitudinally, and rotate 360°. The litter platform support and positioning system further includes at least one individual motor associated with each lift column which is operatively connected to a drive screw to independently adjust and control the location of each support assembly to individually position a corresponding litter platform assembly.

The invention relates to an accommodating door configured to be connected to a vehicle body, and a support cradle. The accommodating door has an inside face which defines an accommodation space configured for accommodating the support cradle. The support cradle in turn is configured to support a mobility aid device within a support compartment thereof.

A wheelchair for transporting a patient comprising a support frame, the support frame having an upper portion located substantially near a first end of the support frame and a lower portion located substantially near a second end of the support frame, at least one seat extension, the seat extension moveably coupled to the support frame between the lower portion and upper portion of the support frame, at least one leg, a first leg coupled to the lower portion of the support frame, at least two wheels mounted on the support frame, an anti-tip bar, the anti-tip bar being substantially horizontally disposed on the lower portion of the support frame and projecting in the lateral direction for stabilizing the wheelchair in the lateral direction, and an extendable beam positioned on the upper portion of the support frame and moveable coupled to the support frame.

A displacement mechanism contains: a support rack, a sitting assembly, a slide rod, two fixing feet, a back, a first holding plate, a second holding plate, and an expandable sheet. The support rack includes a fixer having a post, a rolling stand having multiple first rollers, and a lifter. The sitting assembly includes a receiving orifice and a rotatable mounting. The slide rod includes an elongated hole for connecting the slide rod with the post. A respective foot includes a second roller. The back is disposed on a rear end of the sitting assembly. The first holding plate is mounted on a seat of a wheelchair, and the sitting assembly is slid between the fixer and the first holding plate. The second holding plate is connected on a seat of a car. The expandable sheet is disposed between the fixer and the second holding plate.

The present disclosure provides a patient transporting device having a docking member at one end of the patient transporting device that allows to attach to and detach from a receiving portion of the patient loading systems in an emergency vehicle. The device includes a moveable base member that a patient lies down on, a pathway member for the base member to slidably move along tracks of the pathway member, and a docking member at one end of the pathway member that fits and mates with the receiving portion of the vehicle. In operation, the docking member docks with the receiving portion and establishes an extended bridge formed of the pathway member and the docking member of the device and the receiving portion of the vehicle. The extended bridge has a substantially coplanar surface so that the patient lying down on the base member may be easily loaded to the vehicle.

A height adjustable wheelchair docking system for releasably securing a wheelchair to the floor of a transport vehicle includes: a base frame with an open end, and for rigid attachment to the floor of a transport vehicle; a middle frame for sliding back and forth in a horizontal direction within the base frame and through the open end; means to slide the middle frame in relation to the base frame; and a top frame for covering at least a part of the base frame and middle frame, and to move up and down in a vertical direction in relation to the base frame when the middle frame is sliding back and forth in a horizontal direction within the base frame and through the open end. The top frame further includes a female or male docking fixture for locking engagement with a male or female docking fixture on a wheelchair.

The embodiments described and claimed herein are a restraint system for securing a gurney in a vehicle. In one embodiment, a conventional antler and rail-type gurney restraint system is improved by the addition of a center latch restraint that engages with a latch member secured by a support bracket to the underside of the gurney. In one configuration, the latch member enters into engagement with the center latch restraint through lateral movement of the control end of the gurney. In that respect, the EMT may use the same autonomic movements used with the conventional antler and rail-type system to secure the gurney in the vehicle. Optionally, one or more of the gurney occupant restraint belts are directly connected to the support bracket, whereby occupant loads during an accident will bypass the gurney and occupant head excursions can be reduced.
