Abstract:
A patient transport apparatus comprises a support structure. The support structure comprises a base, a frame, and a patient support surface to support a patient. One or more handle assemblies are coupled to the frame to maneuver the patient transport apparatus. The handle assemblies comprise one or more handles to be manipulated by a user. The handles are capable of being adjusted to facilitate maneuvering of the patient transport apparatus, such as pushing/pulling the patient transport apparatus along a floor surface, lifting the patient transport apparatus over obstacles, loading the patient transport apparatus into an emergency vehicle, and/or unloading the patient transport apparatus from the emergency vehicle.

Claim (Index 15):
A patient transport apparatus for transporting a patient, the patient transport apparatus comprising:\n a support structure comprising a base, a frame, and a patient support surface to support the patient; wheels coupled to said base to facilitate movement of said support structure; and a handle assembly coupled to said frame and comprising a handle to be manipulated by a user, said handle assembly further comprising one or more handle extensions with said handle assembly being configured to translate relative to said frame from a stowed position to an extended position, wherein said handle is adjacent to said frame in said stowed position and said handle is spaced from said frame by said one or more handle extensions in said extended position, said handle assembly configured to freely articulate relative to said frame in said extended position between a first orientation and a second orientation, wherein said handle is located at a first height relative to said frame in said first orientation and said handle is located at a second height relative to said frame, different than said first height, in said second orientation.
