    AUSTRALIA PATENTS ACT 1990 COMPLETE SPECIFICATION FOR A STANDARD PATENT (Original) APPLICATION NO: LODGED: COMPLETE SPECIFICATION LODGED: ACCEPTED: PUBLISHED: RELATED ART: NAME OF APPLICANT: Terence John Dunlea Debra Ann Dunlea ACTUAL INVENTOR: Terence John Dunlea ADDRESS FOR SERVICE: LORD AND COMPANY, Patent and Trade Mark Attorneys, of PO Box 530, West Perth, Western Australia, 6872, AUSTRALIA. INVENTION TITLE: "A CASUALTY HANDLE" DETAILS OF ASSOCIATED PROVISIONAL APPLICATION NO'S: Australian Provisional Patent Application Number 2012900719 filed on 24 February 2012 The following Statement is a full description of this invention including the best method of performing it known to me: TITLE "A CASUALTY HANDLE" The present invention relates to a casualty handle. It is well known that carers or first aid responders are often put into difficult and dangerous situations when it comes to moving incapacitated persons from positions where they may have been injured or to continue there treatment. Generally it is necessary to either manhandle or lift the incapacitated person which places the carer or first aid responder under a lot of strain and risk of muscular and skeletal injury. For instance, some motor vehicle accidents end with the occupants of the vehicle being incapacitated inside the cabin of the vehicle either through the action of the cabin being compressed due to damage to the vehicle or through the occupant of the vehicle sustaining injuries that otherwise prevent them moving or being moved from the vehicle. In these types of major motor vehicle accidents it is common for emergency services to respond to the scene of the accident and to be responsible for extricating the incapacitated person from the vehicle. To achieve this emergency service crews employ a number of devices which they if necessary may use to cut or separate components of the car so that they may gain access to the vehicle or to clear a path so that the incapacitated person may be removed without risking further injury. One of the many problems faced by emergency service crews in this situation is how to safely manoeuvre a possibly injured occupant out of the cabin of the vehicle without causing further injury. In the past emergency service personnel have used the clothing of the casualty to attempt to gain a purchase on the occupant when removing them from the vehicle, however; increasingly it is common for paramedics to cut through the occupants clothing to gain access to any areas requiring treatment. 2 The present invention attempts to overcome at least in part the aforementioned disadvantages of previous casualty removal tools In accordance with one aspect of the present invention there is provided A casualty handle comprising a relatively thin handle member, the handle member being provided with a plurality of cut away portions, the casualty handle being arranged, in use, to be slid under a casualty, wherein the cutaway portions provide hand holds to assist in the maneuvering of the casualty while maintaining body alignment. The present invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a top view of a casualty handle in accordance with the present invention Figure 2 is a top view of a casualty handle in accordance with another aspect of the present invention. Figure 3 is a top view of a casualty handle in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4, is a top view of a casualty handle in accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5, is a top view of a casualty handle in accordance with yet another preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring to the Figure 1, there is shown a casualty handle for manoeuvring an incapacitated person from one position to another, the casualty handle 10 comprises a handle member 12 that is relatively thin. The casualty handle 10 preferably consists of a polymer material, preferably a plastic material, more preferably high molecular weight polyurethane; although any material with good strength and lack of friction characteristics may be chosen. The handle member 12 of the casualty handle 10 is generally elongate and is arranged to be sufficiently long enough to pass under the occupant of a vehicle such that the cut away portions 14 are reachable on either side of the incapacitated person. 3 In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention the casualty handle 10 further comprises straps 16 as is shown in figure 2. The straps are arranged to pass through the cut away portion 14 in the casualty handle 10 and then around the end thereof such that the casualty handle 10 is secured in a loop of the strapping 16. In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention the casualty handle may further comprise straps 16. The straps are arranged to pass through a slot 18 in the casualty handle and then around the end thereof such that casualty handle is secured in a loop of the strapping 16. Figure 3 shows a casualty handle in accordance with the present invention wherein the handle member is generally hexagonal in shape, with the points of the triangle being removed to form a hexagon. The applicant has found that such a shape is beneficial for placing under the hips of a casualty for assisting in the manoeuvring of the casualty. Figure 4 shows a casualty handle in accordance with the present invention wherein the handle member is in the shape of a cross. Preferably, the addition projections of the handle member are afforded cut away portion and or straps to assist in the manoeuvring or a casualty. Figure 5 shows a casualty handle in accordance with the present invention wherein the handle member is in the shape of a crucifix. The addition projections of the handle member extend from a central portion thereof, such that one projection is substantially longer then the opposing projection. Preferably, the addition projections of the handle member are afforded cut away portion and or straps to assist in the manoeuvring or a casualty. In use, for example in a motor vehicle accident situation, the casualty handle 10 is inserted in at least one position under the incapacitated person about to be moved by emergency service personnel. The casualty handle 10 is inserted by sliding the casualty handle 10 between the occupant and the vehicle, for example, it may be inserted under 4 the buttocks of the occupant and the base of the seat. The cut away portions 14 of the casualty handle 10 are arranged to allow an emergency services worker to gain a handhold such that they may be able to bear some or all of the weight of the occupant of the vehicle. In certain situations in may be necessary for more then one casualty handle 10 to be placed under an occupant of the vehicle to assist in holding the occupant in a certain orientation whilst remove them from the vehicle. In accordance with another preferred embodiment of the present invention the casualty handle 10 further comprises straps 16 that are arranged to afford personnel additional hand holds as required. Further, if necessary the straps 16 may be placed over a shoulder or other body part so that additional leverage may be provided when lifting or manoeuvring an occupant of the vehicle. In accordance with yet another preferred embodiment of the present invention the casualty handle 10 comprises straps 16 that may be arranged to engage straps 16 of other casualty handles 10 that are placed under the occupant of the vehicle to maintain a certain orientation whilst removing the occupant from the vehicle. In accordance with yet another preferred embodiment of the present invention the casualty handle 10 comprising straps 16 is arranged to help lift incapacitated persons from a bed or gurney. As such the straps 16 are arranged so that they may engage lifting equipment such as a hook or pulley to allow the incapacitated person to be lifted. In accordance with this preferred embodiment a plurality of casualty handles 10 may be employed to assist in the support of the incapacitated person whilst they are being lifted. Modifications and variations as would be apparent to a skilled addressee are deemed to be within the scope of the present invention. 5
