ABSTRACT:
A horizontal trigger bar is centrally pivotally mounted on the top of a telescoping pole provided with conventional support bars from which an intravenous bottle is suspended. A clutch retains the pole at a length such that the bottle is at the desired height above a patient in a hospital bed. In the event the bed is raised and the trigger bar engages an overhead object, such as a light fixture, or a cubicle partition rail, the trigger bar will yield and assume either a lowered or a tilted attitude, thereby disengaging the clutch and allowing the pole to telescope downwardly to avoid damage to the equipment and possible harm to the patient.
