Use for conveyances carried by people or animals moving in tandem, consisting generally of a bed or couch, often boxlike in form, enclosed by curtains and suspended between two poles. For conveyances used to transport the sick, wounded, or dead consisting of canvas or similar material stretched on a frame, use "stretchers (conveyances)." For portable, often elaborate, chairs carried between poles, use "sedan chairs."
