    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
  • Referring to FIGS. 1-4, an exemplary embodiment of the invention generally includes an intravenous equipment support 10 mounted to a mobile pole assembly 12. The intravenous equipment support 10 includes a telescoping support assembly 14 defining an inner bar 16 that is selectively movable within an outer bar sleeve 18. In other words, the inner bar 16 slidably fits within the outer bar sleeve 18 and can be selectively adjusted depending on the desired height of the intravenous equipment support 10. The inner bar 16 may be held in position at the desired height using any known technique including the depicted clamping collar 17, pins, set screws, fasteners, and the like.
  • Referring to FIG. 4, the outer bar sleeve 18 defines an upper end 32 from which extends the inner bar 16 and a lower end 34 that, as described below, mounts to the mobile pole assembly 12. The inner bar 16 and outer bar sleeve 18 define a generally tubular shape and cooperatively engage with each other. The inner bar 16 and outer bar sleeve 18 may be made of any suitable lightweight material, such as aluminum or stainless steel. Other shapes and configurations of the inner bar 18 and outer bar sleeve 18 may be used to provide the desired telescoping feature.
  • A hanger 20 is mounted to end 36 of the inner bar 16. The hanger 20 may be rotated or turned by selectively rotating or turning the inner bar 16. The hanger 20 defines outwardly extending arms 22 and one or more hooks 24 connected to, or formed integral with, the arms 22. The hooks 24 serve to hang the intravenous solution bags, not shown, near the patient. The hooks 24 may define any known shape and configuration that will serve to hang the intravenous solution bags.
  • In an exemplary embodiment, a pair of support brackets 26 extends outwardly from the outer bar sleeve 18. The support brackets 26 at end 28 are mounted or attached to the outer bar sleeve 18. At the opposite end 30, the support brackets 26 define an L-shape that serve to hang the outer bar sleeve 18 to a wall mount plate 31. The present invention is thus adaptable from a wall mount configuration to a mobile configuration and described herein. Referring to FIGS. 2-3, in an exemplary embodiment, a support arm or brace 27 extends between the support brackets 26 to provide additional structural integrity to the support brackets 26.
  • As depicted in FIGS. 1-2, the lower end 34 of the outer bar sleeve 18 mounts to the mobile pole assembly 12. The mobile pole assembly includes a vertically extending pole 40 that is mounted to a wheel assembly 42. The pole 40 at end 44 defines a mounting sleeve or collar 46 which receives and mounts the lower end 34 of the outer bar sleeve 18. Once the lower end 34 of the outer bar sleeve 18 is positioned on the pole 40, a detent pin 48 is inserted through the collar 46 and pole 40 and into the outer bar sleeve 18 to secure the outer bar sleeve 18 to the pole 40. One skilled in the art will understand that other techniques for securing the outer bar sleeve 18 to the pole 40 are possible with the invention.
  • As illustrated by FIG. 5, the pole 40 at end 50 is fastened to the wheel assembly 42 through the use of a fastener 52. The wheel assembly 42 includes a base 54 that further includes a plurality of support legs 56 that are centrally joined together at the location where the pole 40 mounts to the wheel assembly 42. The support legs 56 are held in position through the use of a fastener 57. As depicted by FIGS. 5-6, the support legs 56 extend radially outwardly and in a spaced-apart relation, and each leg defines a leg end 58 on which is mounted a conventional wheel or caster 60. Each wheel 60 is secured to each leg end 58 through the use of a fastener 62. Each wheel will rotate and turn relative to the leg end 58 and relative to each other to provide a wheel assembly 42 with easy movability. However, it should be understood that with the invention one or more of the wheels 60 may be fixed or non-rotatable relative to the other wheels. One skilled in the art will realize that other wheels and wheel assemblies may be used with the invention to provide a movable wheel assembly.
  • Referring to FIG. 6, each support leg 56 defines a top surface 64 on which are located hazard markings 66 that are visible from above. The hazard markings 66 preferably include alternating black and bright yellow stripes; however, other hazard markings or indicators may be used with the invention. The hazard markings 66 draw one's attention to the wheel assembly 42 and to therefore warn the person of the wheel assembly 42 so that the person does not trip over, or become entangled with, the wheel assembly 42.
  • Variations and modifications of the foregoing are within the scope of the present invention. It should be understood that the invention disclosed and defined herein extends to all alternative combinations of two or more of the individual features mentioned or evident from the text and/or drawings. All of these different combinations constitute various alternative aspects of the present invention. The embodiments described herein explain the best modes known for practicing the invention and will enable others skilled in the art to utilize the invention.
