  • Patent number: 6231016
    Abstract: A medical support carrier unit that holds medical equipment attached to a person bound to a wheelchair. The medical support carrier is attached to the back frame of a wheelchair. The medical support carrier includes an upper and lower set of vertical frame grippers, a turnbuckle connecting each set of grippers, vertical telescoping IV holders attached to the ends of the turnbuckles, and telescoping IV poles secured within the IV holders. The turnbuckles can be rotated to loosen and tighten the vertical frame grippers to the back of the wheelchair. The telescopic IV poles are detachable from the IV holders. The IV holders are attached to the turnbuckles by pivoting pins which allow free rotational movement when the turnbuckles are separately adjusted. The turnbuckles and IV holders essentially permit the medical support carrier as a unit to adjust both vertically and horizontally.
