ABSTRACT:
The transport for a cadaver has an undercarriage with four wheels arranged to define a rectangle. A pair of upright columns are mounted upon the undercarriage near opposite ends thereof and are connected at their upper ends to a frame which is preferably rectangular and elongated. The upright columns may include fluid pressure actuated cylinders which extend between the frame and the undercarriage. A canopy support is comprised of a pair of flat support members engageable at one edge of each to define a flat canopy support, each support member having a pair of legs rigidly secured at one end of each to the support member and pivotally connected at the other end of each to the frame whereby the support members can be pivoted between horizontal coplanar positions of engagement with each other and substantially upright positions at the opposite ends of the frame. A lock is provided to hold the support members in their horizontal positions, and a flexible canopy is adapted to be supported by the canopy support so that it encloses the top and sides of the space between the frame and the canopy support. A stretcher can be placed within the space upon the frame when the support members are in their upright positions.
