Abstract

A holder for a plasma container has a bracket designed to be fastened to the ceiling of an ambulance. The bracket comprises a ceiling plate having an elongated slot, a support prism extending across the slot, and spring clip means resiliently urging the prism against the plate for holding a flat face of the prism against the plate but permitting a substantial force to rotate the prism to another face. A hanger extends from the prism through the slot so that, in one position of the prism, it is held parallel to the ceiling and out of the way, but, by merely rotating the prism, it is held normal to the ceiling for receiving a plasma container. A hook and loop cloth strap extends about the hanger for holding the container on the hanger.
