Abstract
A transport wheelchair comprises a frame with a chair base movably carried by a wheel base displaceable on a set of wheels. A seat, a backrest and a legrest are carried by the chair base of the frame. An intravenous (IV) pole attachment is carried by the frame and to receive and carry an IV pole. An IV pole lock is associated with IV pole attachment. The IV pole lock comprises a plug slidably received in a tube of the IV pole. The plug is bifurcated at an inclined angle with respect to a longitudinal axis with opposing inclined surface abutting to one another. A rod extends through the plug. A cam lever is coupled to proximal end of the rod. The cam lever is pivotal to selectively position a cam against the frame to selectively draw and release the rod to selectively displace and release the bifurcated plug laterally.
