  • Patent number: 6715722
    Abstract: A support structure for mounting equipment, such as a video monitor, to a transportable anesthesia machine includes an elongate vertical member adapted to mount the video monitor and/or other equipment and an elongate horizontal member extending perpendicularly from the vertical member for removable attachment to the anesthesia machine. The horizontal member extends from a lower end of the vertical member and is removably attached to a frame of the anesthesia machine in a desired angular position. The support structure and anesthesia machine move as a unit when the anesthesia machine is transported along a floor surface, with the video monitor or other equipment disposed at an advantageous location for use by an anesthesiologist during a medical procedure. The support structure has a foot that prevents or inhibits undesired tipping or tilting of the anesthesia machine.
