Abstract: A medical support carrier unit that holds medical equipment attached to a person bound to a wheelchair. The medical support carrier is attached to the back frame of a wheelchair. The medical support carrier includes an upper and lower set of vertical frame grippers, a turnbuckle connecting each set of grippers, vertical telescoping IV holders attached to the ends of the turnbuckles, and telescoping IV poles secured within the IV holders. The turnbuckles can be rotated to loosen and tighten the vertical frame grippers to the back of the wheelchair. The telescopic IV poles are detachable from the IV holders. The IV holders are attached to the turnbuckles by pivoting pins which allow free rotational movement when the turnbuckles are separately adjusted. The turnbuckles and IV holders essentially permit the medical support carrier as a unit to adjust both vertically and horizontally.

Abstract: In a spring-loaded curtain mount, the mount includes a pole interface at a proximal end, a compressive mechanism, and a head at a distal end. The pole interface is adapted to receive the end of a standard length adjustable pole or a painter's pole. The compression mechanism is disposed between the proximal end of the mount and the head. The mount includes a coupling device adapted to receive a portion of a curtain. During installation, the curtain mount is coupled to the end of an extension pole and the length of the pole is adjusted such that the combined length of the pole and mount is slightly longer than the distance between the floor and ceiling. At ground level, a portion of the curtain is attached to the head of the curtain mount. The curtain and mount are raised to the ceiling and the mount and pole are compressed between the floor and the ceiling. This compressive force operates to urge the head toward the ceiling, securing the mount in place.
