Abstract: A coupling is provided for interconnecting a wheeled intravenous feeding bottle support stand with a wheelchair or wheeled bed in a hospital so that a single attendant can move the wheelchair/stand combination together down the hall when necessary. The coupling includes a first hollow tubular member attached to the wheelchair or bed. This member receives a rotatably mounted second tubular member having an extension mounted on one end with a clamp for removable attachment to the pole of the wheeled intravenous feeding bottle support stand. The second tubular member and the clamp are rotated to a stored position adjacent the bed or behind the wheel chair when not in use. When use is desired, the second tubular member and the clamp are rotated to a use position which extends the clamp away from the bed or wheelchair a sufficient amount to permit the attachment to the pole of the intravenous feeding bottle support stand.

Abstract: A patient support apparatus for use with medical X-ray equipment to provide a convenient arm support for patients during the time medical X-rays are being taken comprises an elongated rectangular anchor member mounted on the wall adjacent the medical X-ray apparatus. The anchor member has a number of vertically aligned apertures formed in it for receiving a horizontally extending arm support bar. The support bar is dimensioned to fit snugly into the various apertures and can be removed readily from any one of such apertures for re-insertion into another aperture. This permits adjustment of the height of the support bar relative to the X-ray equipment to accommodate patients of different heights and to adapt the support bar for use with standing patients or patients who are sitting on an examination table adjacent the X-ray apparatus.
