Abstract: An accessory clamp and method thereof for receiving and engaging a portion of a structural member are disclosed. The clamp can include a main body, a handle pivotally connected to the main body at a pivot point, in which the handle can comprise a distal portion that is distal from the pivot point, and the distal portion includes a distal inner portion having a cam surface that extends outwardly from the distal inner portion. When the handle is rotated down into a locked position, the main body and the handle form a receiving area therewithin configured to receive and engage the portion of the structural member, and in the receiving area, the main body can comprise a receiving surface and a side surface that are each configured to receive and engage the portion of the structural member.

Abstract: A cot operable to fold one or more legs thereof with the advancing of the cot onto a support object is disclosed. The cot comprises a wheeled transporter, having a frame and legs, and a leg release assembly. The leg release assembly comprises a contact member, a leg release member releasably engaged with at least one of the legs, and a linkage member operably connecting the contact member and the leg release member. The contact member is pressure-sensitive and activates with an application of pressure thereto. The leg release member releases the at least one of the legs from an engagement therewith with activation of the contact member. The at least one of legs folds relative to the frame with the release of the engagement with the leg release member.
