ABSTRACT:
An evacuation or rescue device for a bed-ridden or non-ambulatory person adapted to quickly secure the person to a movable underlying mattress or the like comprises two sheets deployable one from the head-end and one from the foot-end. When deployed the head-end sheet meets the foot-end sheet over the persons chest or abdomen; the head-end sheet having an opening for the head. The two sheets, which are interconnected underneath the mattress, are then tightened downwardly over the long sides of the mattress by means of looped ropes pulled one from the head-end side and the other from the foot-end side. The ropes are self cleating when tightened and quickly secure the person in readiness for rescue and evacuation by a single individual if necessary.
