Abstract
A housing secures an intravenous fluid bag along a portion of a support pole. The intravenous bag is suspended inside the housing, which is formed from three molded parts. A molded back part and a molded end part are joined in a permanent manner along a seam line, and these molded parts define a majority of the housing. A molded door part completes the housing, the molded door part being hingedly attached to the molded back part, providing the housing with an open and a closed position. Aligned slots in the molded end part allow the support pole portion to pass through the housing interior when the housing is in the closed position, and at least one cradle, attached to the molded end part, secures the support pole portion. The molded door part can be latched when in the closed position.
