ABSTRACT:
A device for attaching a column of an intravenous stand to a frame of a patient support apparatus comprises a bracket attached to the frame, a bar mounted in the bracket and a clamping means on the second end of the bar. The bar may be folded substantially flat against the frame and it may be extended outwardly to at least one position. Preferably, the brakcet has an arcuate slot therein with a threaded bolt passing therethrough to engage the bar. The bar may be extended approximately 180.degree. and secured in all desired intermediate positions therebetween. The clamping means is a clip hingably connected to the second end of the bar with an intermediate portion and a second end. The intermediate portion has a configuration complementary to the column of the intravenous stand. A spring latch is mounted on the bar adjacent to the clip. The spring latch has a latch hook to engage the hook on the clip. When so engaged, the intermediate portion encompasses the column of the stand and is clamped in place thereby supporting the intravenous stand on the patient support device and preventing inadvertent movement of the intravenous stand during use thereof. In another embodiment, the bar is telescoping and adjustable in length.
