Abstract (en)

A collapsed stretcher (30) is moved on to an ambulance floor. A restriction loop 20 directly secured to the front of the upper frame 29 passes beneath guide rails 15 as the stretcher is being loaded into the ambulance to correctly align the front of the stretcher and, when fully loaded, to directly retain the front of the upper frame against sideways movement and upwards movement. When fully loaded, fixed rearwardly facing catches 52 partly surround a bar 31 secured to the upper frame 29 with movable catches 53 also partially surrounding the bar 31 to retain the rear of the upper frame against upwards or downwards movement, sideways movement and fore and aft movement. <IMAGE>
