straps provided at either side of the frame member to secure a patient to the patient support, wherein the straps comprise a male buckle member and a female buckle member; and
magnetic members coupled to the upper frame member, said upper frame member including a first side and a second side, wherein a first magnetic member having a rectangular shape is removably coupled to an outer surface of said first side, wherein a second magnetic member having a rectangular shape is removably coupled to an outer surface of said second side,
wherein the male buckle member and the female buckle member are coupled to the magnetic members to secure the straps from falling down when the male buckle member and the female buckle member are not coupled or not in use.
2. The gurney of claim 1 , wherein the gurney comprises wheels provided beneath the axle members to maneuver the gurney.
3. The gurney of claim 1 , wherein the straps are coupled to the upper frame member.
4. The gurney of claim 1 wherein said base members include a sheet located therebetween adapted to hold clothing.
5. The gurney of claim 1 wherein said lower frame brackets include loading wheels mounted thereon.
6. The gurney of claim 1 wherein said upper frame member includes a first collapsible side rail and a second collapsible side rail.
7. The gurney of claim 1 wherein said gurney includes an elevation assist member adapted to help raise or lower said support frame members.
8. A gurney, comprising:
a) a first base member and a second base member, wherein said first base member and said second member are placed parallel to each other, said first base member and said second base member being coupled through a first axle member at a first end, said first base member and said second base member being coupled through a second axle member at a second end, a sheet located between said first base member and said second base member, wherein said sheet is adapted to store dressing and medical equipment, wherein said first axle member and said second axle members includes brackets at each end, wheels being coupled to said brackets;
b) a first scissor frame member and a second scissor frame member being parallel to each other and coupled at ends of said first axle member and said second axle member, wherein said gurney further includes an elevation assist member adapted to help raise and lower said first scissor frame member and said second scissor frame member;
c) a lower frame member coupled to said first scissor frame member and said second scissor frame member, wherein said lower frame member includes lower frame brackets fixedly secured to a first end of said lower frame member, wherein said lower frame brackets includes loading wheels attached thereon, wherein a second end of said lower frame member includes a housing adapted for placing components for treating a patient;
d) an upper frame member mounted on top of said lower frame member, wherein said upper frame member is a tubular frame, wherein said upper frame member includes a first collapsible side rail and a second collapsible side rail, wherein said gurney further includes a patient support being a flat mattress mounted to a top end of said upper frame member;
e) a first strap and a second strap coupled to said upper frame member at opposite sides, wherein said first strap includes a male buckle member, wherein said second strap includes a female buckle member;
f) a first magnetic member and a second magnetic member removably coupled to said upper frame member, wherein said upper frame member includes a first side and a second side, said first magnetic member having a rectangular shape and coupled to an outer surface of said first side of said upper frame member, wherein said second magnetic member has a rectangular shape and is coupled to an outer surface of said second side of said upper frame member, wherein said male buckle member of said first strap is coupled to said first magnetic member, wherein said female buckle member of said second strap is coupled to said second magnetic member.
