1 This invention relates generally to intravenous fluid container carriers such as are used in hospitals, and more particularly, relates to a novel intravenous fluid container carrier which includes a quick adjust-ment mechanism for vertically positioning the intra-venous fluid containers,and detent devices for stabi-lizing the carrier arms in both storage and use positions.
The carrier according to the invention is rela-tively light in weight and very compact, being slim in cross sectional diameter and lengthwise contractible for ease of storage and shipment. It is made of stainless steel and plastic and can be autoclaved for sterilization.
As illustrated it can hold up to nine intravenous fluid containers simultaneously. An anti-rotation feature is built into the carrier to prevent tangling o~ the intra-venous fluid lines.
Briefly, the carrier according to the i~ventio~
is an elongated telescopic device having an outer tubu-lar shell within which is positioned an extension rod spring loaded to retract the rod into the tubular shell, and a rod locking device to hold the extension rod locked in any position between full extension out of the shell and full retraction within the shell. The locking device is releasable by a spring loaded actu-ating collar surrounding the shell proximate to thelower end thereof.
The upper end of the extension rod is formed with a loop for suspension from a ceiling track mounted carrier, from a wall mounted bracket, or from a floor supported stand or carrier. A pair of vertically spaced collars are locked to the tubular shell at the top and near the bottom, each collar having pivotally secured thereto four arms for carrying an intravenous fluid container, each arm being pivotable between a detented use position extend~ng outward away from the tubular , . ~

1 shell and a detented storage position extending closely parallel to the tubular shell.
A primary object of the invention is to provide a novel sterilizable intravenous fluid container car-rier which is compact and light in weight for ease ofstorage and shipment.
Another object of the invention is to provide a novel carrier as aforesaid which is continuously adjust-able in length to almost twice its compacted length, and which includes an anti-rotation device.
A further object of the invention is to provide a novel carrier as aforesaid including a novel length adjusting lock mechanism.
Yet another object of the invention is to pro-vide a novel carrier as aforesaid in which the carrierarms are positively detented in both their use and stor-age positions.
The foregoing and other objects of the invention will become clear from a reading of the following speci-fication in conjunction with an examination of the appendeddrawings, wherein:-Figure 1 is a side elevation of the carrier infull extended position suspended from a cei]ing track and shown supporting a ?air of intravenous fluid con-tainers;
Figure 2 is a perspective of the carrier in itsunextended condition and with the carrier arms in both use and storage positions;
Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view through the carrier as would be seen when viewed on line 3-3 of Figure 2;
Figures ~ through 10 are sectional views through the carrier as would be seen when viewed on the lines 4-4 through 10-10 on Figure 3;
Figure 11 is an enlarged fragmentary view of 355~
1 the extension lock which appears in the phantom el-lipse on Figure 3 marked Fig. 11; and Figure 12 is a horizontal jump section as would be seen when viewed along line 12-12 on Figure 11.
In the several figures, like elements are de-noted by like reference characters.
Referring now to the drawings, and first to Figures 1 and 2, there is seen the intravenous fluid container carrier according to the invention designa-ted generally as 20 including an elongated hollow tubular shell or casing 21 within which is positioned an extension rod 22 terminating at its upper end in a hanger loop 23 supported from a track carrier 24 movable in a ceiling track 25. Secured to the upper end of the tubular shell 21 by set screws 26 is a collar 27 carrying a set of support arms 28 from one of which is carried an intravenous fluid container 29.
Spaced upward à short distance from the lower end of the tubular shell 21 and secured thereto by set screws 30 is a second collar 31 carrying a second set of 8SS4~
l support ~rms 28 from one of which is also carr:i.ecl an intravellous fluid container 29. The upper end of the extension rod 22 below the hanger loop 23 passes through and is secured to a stop block 32 by means of a pin 33.
The lower end of tubular shell 21 is closed by a plug hook 34 secured to the shell by a pin 35. The manually operable exterior ring 36 of the extension rod locking mechanism actuator is positioned about the lower end of the tubular shel.l 21 just below the lower collar 31.
Considering now Figures 3 through 12, and principally Figure 3, the previously described struc-tures are visible in so.newhat more detail, as well as further views which illustrate the operation of the extension rod locking mechanism, the anti-rotation de-vice, and the support arms detent structures. Con-sidering first the extension rod locking mechanism and re~erring to Figures 3 l~nd 8 through 12, there is seen an L-shaped actuating rod 37 extending through the shell 21 substantially parallel to the extension rod 22 and having a lower horizontal leg 38 extending outward through a slot 39 in the tubular shell 21 and terminat-ing within a bore ~0 in the locking actuator exterior ring 36. The actuating rod 37 extends upward within the tubular shell 21, passing loosely through a bore 41 in the guide plug 42 through which the extension rod 22 freely passes, and terminates in a reduced dia-meter neck 44 surmounted by an enlarged head 45.
The neck ~l4 is disposed in a slot 46 in a friction lock plate 47 through a hole 48 through which passes the extension rod 22.
Held ~aptive to the lower end of the extension rod 22 by means of pin 49 is one end of extension spring 50 the other end of which is secured by a pin 51 within a bore 52 formed in the upper end of the interior cylin-drical plug portion 53 of the locking actuator. Disposed ~ 2~3~54~
1 within the lower bore 54 of the locking actuator in-terior plug 53 is the upper end of a compression spring SS the lower end of which is seated in a bore 56 in the upper end of plug hook 34. The compression spring 50 biases the locking actuator plug 53 upward until it is restrained from further upward movement by the lower leg 38 of the actuating rod which engages the upper end of slot 39 in the wall of tubular shell 21.
The spring 50 biases the extension rod 22 downward into the interior of the tubular shell 21.
With the lDcking mechanism parts as shown in Figures 3, 11 and 12, the extension rod 22 is friction-ally wedge locked by the lock plate 47 against moving upward out of the tubular shell 21, which latter is accordingly prevented from being pulled downward to lower the containers 29. In order to release the lock, the locking actuator exterior ring 36 is pulled downward which cau~es the actuating rod 37 to be moved downward within the tubular shell 21 to thereby pull the friction locking plate 47 down into a horizontal position. This allows the hole 48 in the lock plate to align with the extension rod 22 so that the latter can slide upward out of the shell 21 against the restraining force of extension spring 50.
At the desired extension the actuator ring 36 is released which immediately causes the friction lock plate 47 to be restored to -the position shown in Figures 3, 11 and 12, which wedge locks the extension rod 22 against further outward movement. The extension rod 22 is withdrawn back into the tubular shell 21 with the assistance of the spring 50 by simultaneously pulling down on the actuator ring 36 and lifting the shell 21.
The required lifting force is m:inimized by the contrac-tion force of the extension spring 50.
The anti-rotation device is best seen in Figures - ~
1 3 and 5 and is formed by the actuating rod 37 and pins 57 and 58 which are projected through the extension rod 22 just above and below the guide plug 42, which latter is retained in position by the pins. As best ~en in Figure 5, the pin 57, and also pin 58, does not engage the inside wall of the tubular shell 21 but is of sufficient length that a ninety degree rota-tion of the extension rod 22 in either direction within the shell 21 causes the pins to engage against the side of the actuating rod 37 ~hich then prevents further rotation of the extension rod 22. This device prevents winding and unwinding of the spring 50, and tangling of the tubing leading from the intravenous fluid containers hung on the various support arms.
Referring now tn Figures 3 through 7 for details of the support arms detent structures, it is seen that each of the support arms 28 is retained in its collar 27 or 31 by a pin 59 for pivoting movement between a support position extending outward from the tubular shell 21 and a storage position extending parallel to the tubu-lar shell 21. As best seen in Figures 3, 4 and 6, each arm 28 is disposed within a channel 60 having a pair of resilient flaps or lips 61 presenting horizontally inward toward one another at an elevation above the floor of the channel equal to the diameter of the sup-port arm. These flaps 61 are the "use position"
detents and overlie a portion of the surface of the arms 2-8 when the arms are in their down or use position and are resiliently opened as the arms are pushed up into storage position, all as best seen in Figure 6.
Also disposed within each channel 60, as best seen in Figures 3, 6 and 7, are a pair of resilient flaps or lips 62 presenting vertically inward toward one another and spaced from the inner wall of the chan-nel at a distance equal to the diameter of the support ~ ~ 8`~
l arm. These flaps 62 are the storage posikion detentsand embrace a portion of the surface of the arms 28 when the arms are in their up or storage position and are resiliently opened as the arms are pushed down into use position.
Having now described the invention in connection with a particularly illustrated embodiment thereof, it will be understood that modifications and variations of the invention may now naturally occur to those normally skilled in the art, and accordingly it is intended to claim the invention broadly as well as speci-fically as indicated by the appended claims.
