| 20090142172 | TRANSFORMABLE INTRAVENOUS POLE - A patient transporting device having a mobile IV pole comprising a wheeled base, a mast, and a gas spring. Actuating the gas spring retracts the base with little or no effort on the part of a user. With the base retracted the IV pole can be positioned for engagement to a bed, gurney, or wheelchair. The IV pole may be releasably attached to one or more supporting mounts on the bed, gurney, or wheelchair to take the weight off of the wheeled base. This weight relief allows for easy retraction of the base by the gas spring. The supporting mounts can be pulled close to the bed, gurney, or wheelchair by biasing mechanism. | 06-04-2009 |
