ABSTRACT:
A collapsible, foldable transport surface capable of supporting an individual when carried by one or more assisting personnel utilizing hand hold components. The transport surface includes a primary body support surface and a secondary leg extension support surface that are connected together. The primary body support surface incorporates an array of straps extending across the back side thereof to form loop based hand holds positioned on the side edges of the transport surface. A set of longitudinally oriented straps are positioned on the support surface and extend from a top edge to form two loop based hand holds which further together terminate into a single loop hand hold at the opposite edge. The secondary leg extension support surface includes a smaller array of straps that extend across the extension support surface forming additional hand holds on either side. The secondary leg extension surface may be retained against the primary support surface when not in use. Each of the loop based hand holds are constructed from flexible tubing through which the support straps are threaded. The balance of the support straps likewise extend across and are sewn to the underside of the support surface. The device may be rolled into a cylindrical configuration and secured utilizing a closure tab. A peripheral strap is positioned on the upper and side edges of the primary support surface to open and fully extend the body support surface.
