Abstract (en)
A stretcher (1) and, in particular a scoop stretcher, is provided comprising two half-stretchers (2, 3) connected by connccting means (4, 5). The connecting means (4, 5) are provided respectively at a head end and a foot end of the stretcher (1) to permit the stretcher to be unfastened at the head end and/or at the foot end as desired. At least one but preferably both of the connecting means (4, 5) comprises a catch (11) moveably mounted on one half-stretcher that engages a locking pin (12) provided on the other half-stretcher. A detent (13) is mounted adjacent the locking pin (12) and is moveable between a locking position wherein it acts to prevent movement of the catch (11) in a direction tending to disengage from the locking pin (12) and an unlocked position wherein the catch (11) can be disengaged from the locking pin (12) to permit the two half-stretchers (2, 3) to be disconnected from one another. The detent reduces the risk of the connecting means (4, 5) accidentally opening during transportation of a patient.
