Abstract: Apparatus for supporting intravenous bottles, or the like, which includes a first elongate rod member adapted to be suspended from the ceiling, and a second elongate rod member telescopically related to the first member, and depending therefrom. A bottle supporting structure is adjustable lengthwise along the second member and is secured at different locations along the second member by a readily accessible first lock device disposed substantially below a second lock device that releasably secures the second member to the first member at different locations therealong, the second lock device being controlled by a mechanism operated from a remote location along the second member positioned below the bottle supporting structure. By virtue of the above apparatus, the rod members can be adjusted with respect to each other to enable the same apparatus to be used in rooms having different ceiling heights, the bottle supporting structure being shiftable to convenient desired locations along the second rod member.
