  • IV pole stand stop
    Patent number: 10111793
    Abstract: A stop for an IV pole stand comprising a collar having a central opening for receiving the pole of the IV stand. The front ends of the collar form a split and the front ends of the collar members and are biased closed. The front ends of the collar are shaped to form cam surfaces such that upon front ends of the collar being forcefully pressed against a pole, the cam surfaces force the front ends of the collar open to receive the pole in the central opening. A stop pad is carried on a spring arm cantilevered from the collar such that upon the stop pad being stepped on by a nurse the spring arm will resiliently deflect downwardly and the stop pad will be pressed against the floor to hold the pole stand in place on the floor.
