Description

PERSONENTRANSPORTVORRICHTUNG PEOPLE TRANSPORTER
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Transportvorrichtung für den Transport einer Person aus einer ersten Position in eine zweite Position, insbesondere zur Verwendung bei der Umbettung von Personen auf dem Gebiet der Pflege, der Notfallambulanz und der Bestattung. Eine solche Transportvorrichtung, auch Gleitvorrichtung oder Rollboard genannt, ist beispielweise in der Patentschrift DE 38 06 470 C2 beschrieben, deren mit der vorliegenden Erfindung gemeinsamen Merkmale im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 zusa mengefasst sind. Die dort beschriebene Transportvorrichtung weist ein starres Brett auf, welches von einem Endlosband umschlungen ist, wobei der Reibungswiderstand zwischen dem Endlosband und dem Brett so klein ist, dass er von einer Bedienungsperson, die am Endlosband zieht, überwunden werden kann. Die gezeigte Transportvorrichtung weist einen einfachen Aufbau auf und ist eine leicht tragbare Einheit. Die gezeigte Vorrichtung weist jedoch Nachteile auf. Sie ist sperrig und nur auf äußerst ebenen Unterlagen verwendbar. Würde nämlich diese Vorrichtung über Hohlräume gelegt, so droht sie zu brechen. Ferner kann diese Vorrichtung ausschließlich für die Umverlagerung von liegenden Patienten verwendet werden, wodurch ihr prakti- scher Einsatz in der Regel auf die Verlagerung von dauernd bettlägerigen Patienten von einem Bett in ein anderes Bett beschränkt ist. Auch die im Dokument US 2 918 681 gezeigte Transportvorrichtung ist vergleichsweise starr. Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eineThe present invention relates to a transport device for transporting a person from a first position to a second position, in particular for use in transferring people in the field of care, emergency ambulance and funeral. Such a transport device, also called a sliding device or rollboard, is described, for example, in the patent specification DE 38 06 470 C2, the features of which are common to the present invention are summarized in the preamble of claim 1. The transport device described there has a rigid board which is wrapped in an endless belt, the frictional resistance between the endless belt and the board being so small that it can be overcome by an operator pulling on the endless belt. The transport device shown has a simple structure and is an easily portable unit. However, the device shown has disadvantages. It is bulky and can only be used on extremely flat documents. If this device were placed over cavities, it threatens to break. Furthermore, this device can be used exclusively for the relocation of lying patients, as a result of which its practical use is generally restricted to the relocation of permanently bedridden patients from one bed to another bed. The transport device shown in document US 2 918 681 is also comparatively rigid. The invention has for its object a
Transportvorrichtung darzustellen, welche gegenüber dem Stand der Technik verbessert ist und die oben genannten Nachteile ausräumt. Insbesondere soll eine Personen- oder Patiententransportvorrichtung angegeben werden, welche leicht transportierbar und auf beliebig geformten Auflageflächen verwendbar ist. Diese Aufgabe wird durch eine Transportvorrichtung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Die Unteran- sprüche beschreiben besonders vorteilhafte Weiterentwicklungen der Erfindung. Gemeinsam mit herkömmlichen Transportvorrichtungen weist die erfindungsgemäße Transportvorrichtung einen Körper auf, um welchen ein Endlosband geschlungen ist. Das Endlosband ist dabei gleitbar um den Körper herum derart angeordnet, dass es eine Gleitbewegung um die Längsachse des Körpers ausführen kann. Der Erfinder hat jedoch eine ebenso technisch vorteilhafte wie kostengünstige Möglichkeit erkannt, die Transportvorrichtung flexibel im Einsatz und handlich zu gestalten. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung des umschlungenen Körpers mit einer Vielzahl von lang ausgestreckten Elementen, insbesondere von tafelförmigen und/oder rollenförmigen Elementen, ist die gesamte Trans- portvorrichtung aufrollbar oder zumindest rundbiegbar.To represent transport device, which is improved compared to the prior art and eliminates the disadvantages mentioned above. In particular, a person or patient transport device is to be specified which is easy to transport and can be used on any shape of support surface. This object is achieved by a transport device with the features of claim 1. The subclaims describe particularly advantageous developments of the invention. Together with conventional transport devices, the transport device according to the invention has a body around which an endless belt is wrapped. The endless belt is slidably arranged around the body in such a way that it can perform a sliding movement about the longitudinal axis of the body. However, the inventor has recognized an equally technically advantageous and inexpensive way of making the transport device flexible in use and manageable. The inventive design of the wrapped body with a plurality of elongated elements, in particular tabular and / or roll-shaped elements, makes it possible to roll up or at least bend the entire transport device.
Unter aufrollbar ist dabei nicht unbedingt eine vollständige oder mehrfache Aufrollung zu verstehen, sondern in Abhängigkeit der Länge bzw. der Breite der Transportvorrichtung auch eine teilweise Aufrollung. So können bei- spielsweise in der Regel besonders lange Transportvorrichtungen leichter vollständig aufgerollt werden als kürzere. Die Aufrollbarkeit bzw. Rundbiegbarkeit bietet Vorteile sowohl beim Transport als auch beim Einsatz auf verschiedensten Unterlagen. Die Transportvorrichtung schmiegt sich nämlich an nahezu beliebig geformte Unterlagen, wie zum Beispiel Oberflächen von Röntgentische, Betten mit neigbar eingestellten Liegeflächen, Rollstühlen, Kernspintomographen usw., an, so dass Patienten auch in anderen Positionen als der liegenden Position trans- portiert werden können. In einer besonders kostengünstigen Ausführung ist der Körper aus einem Lamellenrollladen ausgebildet. Der Lamellenrollladen kann dabei ein herkömmlicher Rollladen sein, wie er zum blickdichten Verschließen von Fenstern von Wohngebäuden bekannt ist. Die einzelnen Lamellen des Rollladens sind gelenkig miteinander verbunden, wodurch- der gesamte Rollladen aufrollbar wird. Um eine komfortable Liegefläche bzw. Sitzfläche für die zu transportierende Person herzustellen, ist der Lamellenrollladen vorzugsweise auf seiner Oberfläche gepolstert. Diese Polsterung ist insbesondere durch Schaumstoff ausgeführt. Beispielsweise kann der Rollladen in einen Schaumstoffschlauch eingesteckt sein, wobei vorteilhaft die Längsachse des Schlauches in Richtung der Aufrollrichtung des Rollladens ausgeführt ist. Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführung ist der gesamte Rollladen in einer Tasche, welche aus Schaumstoff ausgebildet ist, eingeschlossen. Erfindungsgemäß ist der Rollladen in Richtung der Längsachse des Körpers aufrollbar, das heißt, die Achse der gelenkigen Verbindung zwischen den einzelnen Lamellen verläuft in Querrichtung des Körpers. Selbstverständlich sind kreuzweise gelenkig miteinander verbundene Lamellen denkbar. Ferner ist es möglich, den Rollladen mit zusätzlichen Gelenken beziehungsweise gelenkigen Bereichen zu versehen, so dass der Rollladen und damit die gesamt Transportvorrichtung klappbar ist. In einer hinsichtlich des Gleitvermögens und hinsichtlich von hygienischen Eigenschaften besonders günstigen Ausgestaltung ist der Rollladen in einem Schaumstoffschlauch oder einer Schaumstofftasche aufgenommen und alles zusammen von einem Gleitgewebe umschlossen. Das Gleitgewebe kann dabei eine flüssigkeitsdichte Umhüllung ausbilden, welche beispielsweise besonders leicht abwaschbar ist. Das Gleitgewebe ist zumindest auf seiner äußeren Oberfläche mit einem niedrigen Reibungskoeffi- zienten ausgeführt, so dass das Endlosband, welches in dieser Ausführung auf der äußeren Oberfläche des umschließenden Gleitgewebes gleitet, mit einem geringen Kraftaufwand zum Gleiten gebracht werden kann. Vorteilhaft ist das Endlosband zumindest auf seiner das umschließende Gleitgewebe berührenden Innenseite mit einem niedrigen Gleit- beziehungsweise Haftreibungskoef- fizienten ausgeführt. Eine zusätzlich klappbare Ausführung der Transportvorrichtung wird dadurch erreicht, dass eine Mehrzahl von Rollläden gelenkig beziehungsweise klappbar zueinander angeordnet sind und insbesondere von einem gemeinsamen Schaumstoffkörper und/oder Gleitgewebe umschlossen werden. Der Schaumstoffkörper kann dabei beispielsweise wiederum als Schlauch ausgebildet sein, währen das umschließende Gleitgewebe vorteilhaft in Form einer insbesondere flüssigkeitsdichten Tasche ausgebildet ist. Dabei können mehrere, insbesondere zwei oder drei, Rollläden nebeneinander in Längsrichtung des Körpers angeordnet sein und so den Körper ausbilden. Natürlich können auch alternativ oder zusätzlich mehrere Rollläden in Querrichtung des Körpers angeordnet und klappbar zu- einander positioniert sein, um so den Körper auszubilden. Die Erfindung soll nachfolgend anhand der Figuren, welche Ausführungsbeispiele zeigen, näher erläutert werden. Es zeigen:Roll-up is not necessarily to be understood as complete or multiple roll-up, but also partial roll-up depending on the length or width of the transport device. For example, particularly long transport devices can generally be rolled up more easily than shorter ones. The rollability or round bendability offers advantages both during transport and when used on a wide variety of documents. This is because the transport device conforms to almost any shaped documents, such as the surfaces of X-ray tables, beds with reclining lying surfaces, wheelchairs, magnetic resonance scanners, etc., so that patients can also be transported in positions other than the lying position. In a particularly inexpensive embodiment, the body is formed from a slatted roller shutter. The Slatted roller shutters can be a conventional roller shutter, as is known for the opaque closing of windows in residential buildings. The individual slats of the roller shutter are connected to one another in an articulated manner, which means that the entire roller shutter can be rolled up. In order to create a comfortable lying surface or seating surface for the person to be transported, the slatted roller shutter is preferably padded on its surface. This padding is carried out in particular by foam. For example, the roller shutter can be inserted into a foam tube, the longitudinal axis of the tube advantageously being designed in the direction of the rolling direction of the roller shutter. According to a further embodiment, the entire roller shutter is enclosed in a pocket which is made of foam. According to the invention, the roller shutter can be rolled up in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the body, that is to say the axis of the articulated connection between the individual slats runs in the transverse direction of the body. Of course, crosswise hinged slats are conceivable. Furthermore, it is possible to provide the roller shutter with additional joints or articulated areas, so that the roller shutter and thus the entire transport device can be folded. In a configuration which is particularly favorable with regard to the sliding ability and with regard to hygienic properties, the roller shutter is accommodated in a foam tube or a foam bag and everything is enclosed together by a sliding fabric. The sliding fabric can form a liquid-tight covering which, for example, is particularly easy to wash off. The sliding fabric is designed at least on its outer surface with a low coefficient of friction, so that the endless belt, which in this embodiment slides on the outer surface of the surrounding sliding fabric, has a low one Force can be made to slide. The endless belt is advantageously designed with a low coefficient of sliding or static friction, at least on its inside touching the surrounding sliding fabric. An additional foldable design of the transport device is achieved in that a plurality of roller shutters are arranged in an articulated or foldable manner relative to one another and in particular are enclosed by a common foam body and / or sliding fabric. The foam body can, for example, in turn be designed as a tube, while the surrounding sliding fabric is advantageously designed in the form of an in particular liquid-tight pocket. Several, in particular two or three, roller shutters can be arranged next to one another in the longitudinal direction of the body and thus form the body. Of course, as an alternative or in addition, a plurality of roller shutters can also be arranged in the transverse direction of the body and positioned so as to be foldable relative to one another in order to form the body. The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the figures, which show exemplary embodiments. Show it:
Figur 1 eine erfindungsgemäße Transportvorrichtung, welche einen Körper in Form von zwei Rollläden aufweist; Figur 2 eine weitere Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Transportvorrichtung, welche einen Körper in Form von rollenförmigen Elementen auf- weist;Figure 1 shows a transport device according to the invention, which has a body in the form of two shutters; Figure 2 shows a further embodiment of a transport device according to the invention, which has a body in the form of roller-shaped elements;
Figur 3 eine besondere Ausführungsform einer erfindungsgemäßen Transportvorrichtung mit einem Körper in Form von rollenförmigen Elementen; Figur 4 einen Querschnitt eines teilweisen Ausschnittes der Transportvorrichtung aus der Figur 3. In der Figur 1 erkennt man erkennt die einzelnen Lamellen eines für sich genommen herkömmlichen Rollla- dens, welche die tafelförmigen Elemente 1.3 des Körpers 1 ausbilden. Die Lamellen sind vorzugsweise vollständig aus Kunststoff, insbesondere PVC, hergestellt. Selbstverständlich sind aber auch andere Materialien, beispiels- weise Holz, Blech, oder Pappe denkbar. Insgesamt sind zwei Felder von Lamellen vorgesehen, das heißt zwei voneinander getrennte Rollläden. Beide Rollläden sind von einem gemeinsamen Schlauch 3 aus Schaumstoff eingehüllt. Auf der äußeren Oberfläche des SchaumstoffSchlauches 3 ist ein Gleitgewebe 4 vorgesehen, welches die Rollläden zusammen mit dem Schaumstoffschlauch 3 vollständig einschließt. Auf der äußeren Oberfläche des Gleitgewebes 4 gleitet das Endlosband 2, welches lediglich durch die gestrichelte Linie angedeutet ist. Die beiden Rollläden sind durch einen gelenkigen Bereich 1.4 gegeneinander klappbar angeordnet. Dabei wird der klappbare Bereich 1.4 dadurch erreicht, dass das Gleitgewebe 4 zwei Taschen aufweist, wobei in jeweils eine Tasche ein Rollladen eingebracht ist. Im Bereich 1.4 ist das Gleitgewebe 4 frei von jeglicher Lamelle 1.3 eines Rollladens und somit gegenüber den Bereichen mit Lamellen 1.3 nochmals deutlich schlaffer ausgeführt. Das Gleitgewebe 4 ist an seinen Schmalseiten über den Bereich mit den Rollläden hinaus weitergeführt und bildet jeweils ein Griffelement 5 auf. Somit kann die gesamt Transportvorrichtung entweder in ausgeklapptem Zustand an einem Griffelement gefasst werden oder bei zusammengeklapptem Zustand gleichzeitig an beiden Griff- elementen 5. Bei der vorliegenden Ausführung wird der Körper 1 durch den Verbund aus den beiden Rollläden mit der Vielzahl von Lamellen 1.3, dem Schaumstoffschlauch 3 und dem Gleitgewebe 4 gebildet. Der Körper weist eine Längsachse 1.1 und eine Querachse 1.2 auf. Das Endlosband 2 rotiert um den Körper 1 um die Längsachse 1.1 herum, das heißt in Längsrichtung der Lamellen 1.3 der Rollläden. Die Figur 2 zeigt eine Ausführung, in welcher der Körper 1 eine Vielzahl von rollenförmigen Elementen 1.5 aufweist. Diese sind wiederum gelenkig aneinander angeschlossen, und zwar im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel mittels der Seile 6. Diese Seile sind durch Bohrungen in den rollenförmigen Elementen 1.5 durchgeführt. Man könnte auch sagen, die rollenförmigen Elemente 1.5 sind auf den Seilen 6 aufgefädelt. Vorteilhaft sind zumindest die beiden rollenförmigen Elemente 1.5 an den beiden Enden der Seile 6 gegen ein Lösen von den Seilen 6 gesichert. Dies kann beispielsweise in einer besonders einfachen Form durch einen Knoten in dem Seil oder durch eine Plombe auf dem Seil erreicht werden. Andere Verbindungstechniken, wie Kleben, Verschweißen, Tackern, Schrauben, Nageln etc. sind denkbar. Selbstverständlich kann auch eine andere Anzahl von Seilen 6 verwendet werden. Dabei können, wie dargestellt, einzelne Seile parallel zueinander angeordnet werden. Es ist jedoch auch denkbar, beispielsweise ein einziges Seil anstelle der gezeigten drei Seile 6 derart vorzusehen, dass es an einem äußeren Ende durch die Vielzahl von rohrförmigen Elementen 1.5 hindurchtritt, d.h. senkrecht zu diesen verläuft, am letzten rohrförmigen Element austritt, parallel zu diesem Element verläuft, versetzt gegenüber dem Austritt wieder eintritt und in die entgegengesetzte Richtung in Richtung der Längsachse 1.1 verläuft, usw. Weiterhin ist alternativ oder zusätzlich zu der Auf- fädelung der rohrförmigen Elemente 1.5 auf den Seilen 6 eine Umschlingung der rohrförmigen Elemente 1.5 durch beispielsweise Seile denkbar, um somit die rohrförmigen Elemente 1.5 gelenkig aneinander anzuschließen. In einer Ausführungsform ist dabei die Seilführung derart gewählt, dass es auf einem rohrförmigen Element über die Oberseite hinweg tritt, und auf dem benachbarten rohrförmigen Element über die Unterseite hinweg tritt. Man könnte auch sagen, die rohrförmigen Elemente 1.5 sind in die Seile 6 eingewebt . Grundsätzlich ist unter dem Begriff Seil jeglicher linienförmigen weitgehend biegeschlaffer Körper zu ver- stehen. So können beispielsweise auch Drähte oder Bänder zum Aneinanderanschließen der einzelnen rohrförmigen Elementen bzw. von tafelförmigen Elementen vorgesehen werden . Die rohrförmigen Elemente können beispielsweise aus Schaumstoff ausgebildet sein. Insbesondere kommt Schaumstoff mit einem kleineren bis mittleren Raumgewicht in Betracht. Diese Schaumstoffrollen können beispielsweise unmittelbar von einem Gleitgewebe 4 umschlossen sein, wie in der Figur 2 dargestellt ist. Eine zwischengelagerte SchaustoffSchicht, wie in der Figur 1 dargestellt ist, kann entfallen. In einer anderen Ausführung sind die rollenförmigen Elementen 1.5 aus Kunststoff, insbesondere PVC ausgeführt. Natürlich kommen auch andere Werkstoffe, wie beispielsweise Holz in Betracht. Diese Elemente kön- nen je nach Oberflächenfestigkeit mit oder ohne Schaum- stoffpolsterung ausgeführt sein. Um wiederum ein auf dem Markt erhältliches Produkt zum Ausbilden des Körpers zu verwenden, können die rollenförmigen Elemente 1.5 herkömmliche Rohrleitungsisolie- rungen von beispielsweise wasserführenden Leitungen sein. Solche Isolierungen sind in der Regel aus einem Schaumstoff hergestellt und werden herkömmlich für die Isolation von beispielsweise Heizkörperleitungen oder Leitungen von Klimaanlagen verwendet. Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform, welche nicht im Einzelnen dargestellt ist, können anstelle der in der Figur 2 gezeigten rollenförmigen Elemente tafelförmige Elemente verwendet werden, die entsprechend durch Schnüre, Seile, Bänder oder Drähte miteinander verbunden sind. Natürlich kommen auch andere Querschnittsformen als rechteckige bzw. runde Querschnittsformen in Betracht. Beispielsweise seien dreieckige oder ovale Querschnitts- formen für die lang ausgestreckten, gelenkig miteinander verbundenen Elemente des Körpers genannt. In den Figuren 3 und 4 ist eine weitere Ausführungsform der Erfindung mit rollenförmigen Elementen 1.5 ge- zeigt. Die Elemente 1.5 sind PVC-Rohre mit einer hohlen Zylinderform. Die PVC-Rohre sind jeweils mit vier Bohrungen 1.6 versehen, von denen sich in Radialrichtung je zwei Bohrungen gegenüberstehen. Dabei sind die zwei sich gegenüberstehenden Bohrungen mit den entsprechenden Boh- rungen der benachbarten PVC-Rohre fluchtend ausgerichtet. Durch die Bohrungen 1.6 ist eine Nylonband 6 geführt, im vorliegenden Fall ein einziges, welches alle PVC-Rohre gelenkig miteinander verbindet. Die Vielzahl von PVC-Rohren ist ähnlich den Lamellen in der Figur 1 in Taschen, beispielsweise in einer Tasche oder in zwei Taschen, eines Gleitgewebes 4 eingeschlossen. Auch die Verwendung eines Gleitgewebeschlauches ist möglich. Auf diesem Gleitgewebe 4 gleitet das Endlosband 2. Je nach Härte der PVC-Rohre sind diese zusätzlich mit einem Schaumstoff gepolstert. In dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel ist keine Polsterung vorgesehen, vielmehr werden die PVC-rohre 6 unmittelbar von dem Gleitgewebe 4 umschlossen. Ferner sind in dem Ausführungsbeispiel, ähnlich wie in der Figur 1, zwei Felder von lang ausgestreckten Elementen vorgesehen, die durch einen zusätzlichen gelenkigen Bereich 1.4 voneinander getrennt sind. Dadurch ist die gezeigte Transportvorrichtung besonders leicht zusam- menklappbar. Auch weist das Gleitgewebe 1.4 wiederum Griffelemen- te 5 an seinen beiden Enden der Längsseite auf. Figure 3 shows a particular embodiment of a transport device according to the invention with a body in the form of roller-shaped elements; FIG. 4 shows a cross section of a partial section of the transport device from FIG. 3. In FIG. 1, the individual slats of a conventional roller shutter can be seen. dens, which form the tabular elements 1.3 of the body 1. The slats are preferably made entirely of plastic, in particular PVC. Of course, other materials, for example wood, sheet metal or cardboard, are also conceivable. A total of two fields of slats are provided, that is, two separate shutters. Both roller shutters are enveloped by a common hose 3 made of foam. A sliding fabric 4 is provided on the outer surface of the foam hose 3, which completely encloses the roller shutters together with the foam hose 3. The endless belt 2, which is only indicated by the dashed line, slides on the outer surface of the sliding fabric 4. The two roller shutters are arranged such that they can be folded against one another by an articulated area 1.4. The foldable area 1.4 is achieved in that the sliding fabric 4 has two pockets, a roller shutter being inserted in each pocket. In the area 1.4, the sliding fabric 4 is free of any slats 1.3 of a roller shutter and is therefore significantly slower than the areas with slats 1.3. The sliding fabric 4 is continued on its narrow sides beyond the area with the roller shutters and in each case forms a grip element 5. Thus, the entire transport device can either be gripped by a handle element in the unfolded state or simultaneously by both handle elements 5 in the folded state. In the present embodiment, the body 1 is formed by the composite of the two roller shutters with the plurality of slats 1.3, the foam tube 3 and the sliding fabric 4 formed. The body has a longitudinal axis 1.1 and a transverse axis 1.2. The endless belt 2 rotates around the body 1 around the longitudinal axis 1.1, that is to say in the longitudinal direction of the slats 1.3 of the roller shutters. FIG. 2 shows an embodiment in which the body 1 has a large number of roller-shaped elements 1.5. These are in turn connected to one another in an articulated manner, specifically in the present exemplary embodiment by means of the ropes 6. These ropes are carried out through bores in the roller-shaped elements 1.5. One could also say that the roller-shaped elements 1.5 are threaded on the ropes 6. At least the two roller-shaped elements 1.5 at the two ends of the cables 6 are advantageously secured against loosening from the cables 6. This can be achieved, for example, in a particularly simple form by a knot in the rope or by a seal on the rope. Other joining techniques, such as gluing, welding, stapling, screwing, nailing, etc. are conceivable. A different number of ropes 6 can of course also be used. As shown, individual ropes can be arranged parallel to each other. However, it is also conceivable, for example, to provide a single rope instead of the three ropes 6 shown in such a way that it passes through the plurality of tubular elements 1.5 at an outer end, that is to say runs perpendicular to them, and exits at the last tubular element parallel to this element runs, offset in relation to the outlet and enters in the opposite direction in the direction of the longitudinal axis 1.1, etc. Furthermore, as an alternative or in addition to the threading of the tubular elements 1.5 on the ropes 6, a wrapping of the tubular elements 1.5 by, for example, ropes is also conceivable , in order thus to connect the tubular elements 1.5 to one another in an articulated manner. In one embodiment, the cable guide is selected such that it passes over the upper side on a tubular element and over the lower side on the adjacent tubular element. You could too say the tubular elements 1.5 are woven into the ropes 6. Basically, the term rope is to be understood as any line-shaped, largely flexible body. For example, wires or tapes can also be provided for connecting the individual tubular elements or tabular elements to one another. The tubular elements can be made of foam, for example. Foam with a smaller to medium density is particularly suitable. These foam rolls can, for example, be directly surrounded by a sliding fabric 4, as shown in FIG. 2. An intermediate layer of foam material, as shown in FIG. 1, can be omitted. In another embodiment, the roller-shaped elements 1.5 are made of plastic, in particular PVC. Of course, other materials, such as wood, can also be used. Depending on the surface strength, these elements can be designed with or without foam padding. In order in turn to use a product available on the market for forming the body, the roller-shaped elements 1.5 can be conventional pipe insulation, for example of water-carrying pipes. Such insulations are usually made of a foam and are conventionally used for the insulation of, for example, radiator lines or air conditioning lines. According to a further embodiment, which is not shown in detail, instead of the roller-shaped elements shown in FIG. 2, tabular elements can be used which are connected to one another by means of cords, ropes, tapes or wires. Cross-sectional shapes other than rectangular or round cross-sectional shapes are of course also possible. For example, triangular or oval cross-sectional forms for the elongated, articulated elements of the body. 3 and 4 show a further embodiment of the invention with roller-shaped elements 1.5. The elements 1.5 are PVC pipes with a hollow cylindrical shape. The PVC pipes are each provided with four holes 1.6, of which two holes face each other in the radial direction. The two opposing holes are aligned with the corresponding holes in the neighboring PVC pipes. A nylon tape 6 is guided through the holes 1.6, in the present case a single one, which connects all PVC pipes to one another in an articulated manner. The plurality of PVC pipes, similar to the fins in FIG. 1, is enclosed in pockets, for example in one pocket or in two pockets, of a sliding fabric 4. The use of a sliding fabric hose is also possible. The endless belt 2 slides on this sliding fabric 4, depending on the hardness of the PVC pipes, these are additionally padded with a foam. In the exemplary embodiment shown, no padding is provided, rather the PVC pipes 6 are directly surrounded by the sliding fabric 4. Furthermore, in the exemplary embodiment, similarly as in FIG. 1, two fields of elongated elements are provided, which are separated from one another by an additional articulated region 1.4. As a result, the transport device shown can be folded up particularly easily. The sliding fabric 1.4 in turn also has grip elements 5 at its two ends on the long side.
