Abstract
The assembly is used with a conventional intravenous stand having a generally vertically disposed pole. An upper support includes a first body having a bore receiving an adjusting screw adapted to engage the pole for securing the upper support in adjusted position on the pole. A support member defines a downwardly facing recess adapted to fit over the upper edge of the headboard of a hospital bed. The support member also includes a pair of free ends slidably supported within bores in the body and held in place by clamping screws. A lower support includes a second body having a bore receiving a second adjusting screw adapted to engage the pole. A pair of independently movable support arms have outer ends which are movable toward and away from one another. The inner ends of the arms are slidably supported within bores in the second body and are held in place by clamping screws.
