Abstract
A carrying strap arrangement for use in supporting stretchers in land vehicles, aircraft, or watercraft. A carrying strap is attached to a vehicle ceiling and floor by fittings disposed at ends of the carrying strap. At least one support strap is disposed on the carrying strap and is formed into a strap loop to accommodate the carrying handle of the stretcher. The support strap is guided in a sliding manner through a pass-through fitting to form the strap loop. An end of the support strap is secured to the pass-through fitting such that under load the support strap is drawn through the fitting and the strap loop is constricted. A spring element is disposed in the strap loop and expands the strap loop when it is not loaded.
