This invention relates to improvements in holding devices or clamps and an object of this invention is to provide a holding device or clamp of simple and eflicient construction which can be quickly and easily attached to or detached from a supporting member and which will firmly grip the supporting member and can be used as a means for mounting other devices on the supporting member.
Another object is to provide a clamp of this type which is capable of carrying an upwardly extending post or like member and is particularly well adapted to be attached to a support which has two flanges at right angles to each other, such as a bracket shaped to receive the clamp or an angle bar which forms the side rail of a bed, the upwardly extending member being used to support various articles above the bed or device to which the clamp is attached.
Another object is to provide a clamp having two parallel spaced apart sides of unequal length, one of said sides overhanging and extending beyond the other side, the overhanging end portion of the longer side having post supporting means and having a locking pin capable of releasably engaging a member of angle shaped cross section to which the clamp is applied.
/ In the care and treatment of patients in bed or on wheeled stretchers and the like it is often desirable to support receptacles, such as flasks or containers for intravenous fluid, drainage bottles and similar things at higher elevations than a patient. Also in many instances it is desirable to support bed lamps, trays and like articles in predetermined positions above a bed. Also it is sometimes desirable to relieve a patient of the weight of bed covers by supporting the bed covers above parts of the body of the patient. In doing this it is desirable to attach upwardly extending supporting devices of some form to the bed and the object of this invention is to provide an eflicient and reliable and readily attachable and detachable clamping device for firmly and securely attaching the upwardly extending support to the bed.
Other objects of this invention will be apparent from the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings:

This clamp comprises a U shaped member having two sides 10 and 11 spaced a short distance apart so as to provide therebetween a relatively narrow recess 12 which will fit over and receive a plate shaped support, such as the upright flange of an angle bar 13, shown in Figs. 2, 3 and 4, or the side of a bracket of the form shown in Fig. 6 and hereinafter described. The side 11 is substantially longer than the side 10 and extends beyond and overhangs the end of the side 10 at the open end of the clamp. The two sides 10 and 11 are parallel and are of substantial width and are externally provided with preferably three spaced apart reinforcing ribs 14, 15 and 16 which extend substantially entirely around the clamp and across the closed end of the same. Two of the reinforcing ribs 14 and 16 are positioned at the respective edges of the clamp and the rib 15 is approximately midway between them. All parts of the clamp are preferably made of non-corrosive metal.
The ribs 14 and 16 extend a short distance beyond the end of the shorter side 10 of the clamp and the terminal portions of these two n'bs constitute two spaced apart bearing elements 17 which engage with and press against the inner side of any supporting flange which overhangs them and thus help to prevent tilting of the clamp on a support as hereinafter. explained. Preferably the end of the shorter side member 10 has its inside corner 18 beveled or chamfered ofl to facilitate application of the clamp to a support, such as the angle bar 13.
The longer side 11 of the U shaped member is provided with a post supporting means, which may be varied in form. The post supporting means shown in Figs. 1 to 4 comprises an enlarged portion or boss 19 on the exterior of the longer side 11. A short stub post 20 is pressed or cast into the boss 19 and can be rigid relative to the boss. When the stub post 20 is rigid then a tubular post 21, Fig. 2, of any desired'length and shape can have its bottom end fitted telescopically over the stub post 20.
This tubular post'21 can be free to turn on the stub post 20 or the two relatively telescopic parts 20 and-21 can be of non-circular cross section so that the part 21 will be held against rotation. Also the stub post 20 can be omitted and the end of an upright post 22, see Fig. 7, can fit directly into a socket 23 in a boss 24 which corresponds to the boss 19. When this is done the post 22 can be held against withdrawal from the socket 23 and either be left free to rotate or locked against rotation in said socket by a screw 25 which is threaded through the wall of the boss 24 and seats in an annular groove 26 in the lower end portion of the post 22.
The upper end of the longer side 11 of the clamp has a medially positioned integral tubular boss 27 extending crosswise thereof. A locking pin 28, Fig. 5, is slidably disposed in a bore 29 of the boss 27. The end of the locking pin '28 shown at the left in Figs. 2 and is of enlarged diameter and terminates in a tapered or conically shaped locking portion 30. A compression spring 31 is disposed inthe bore '29 between a shoulder 32 formed by the enlarged end of pin 28 and a shoulder formed by an end wall 33 of the boss 27. The end portion of the pin- 28 shown at the right in Figs. 1, 2 and 5 extends through the end wall 33 and is threaded into a knob 34 by which said pin may be retracted against the force of spring 31. The slot 12 in the clamp is deep enough so that, in practice, the support Over which it fits;will be clear of the'bottom of said slot. This lets the top flange of the support, such as angle bar 13, rest on the, bearing elements '17 and the taper of the pin tip 30 makes it self adjusting to variations in flange thickness and insures firm holding engagement at all times.
Fig. 6 shows a bracket which can be used to facilitate attachment. of this clamp to articles or surfaces to which the clamp could not otherwise be applied and one of these brackets can be supplied with each clamp. This bracket comprises a flat side portion 4i over which the recess 12 of the clamp will fit andan end wall or flange 41 at right angles to the side 40 and against which the 7 contact elements 17 can rest. vAlso this bracket has side walls 4-2 provided with perforated flanges 43 through which screws or bolts may be inserted to secure the bracket to any supporting means from which the clamp is to be supported; For instance, thebracket maybe secured to arail or flat side of a bed which .therecess 12 will not fit over or to the side of a wheeled stretcher or to a piece of furniture or to a wall. The clamp is applied to the bracket of Fig. 6 in the same manner in which it is applied to the angle bar 13.
In applying this clamp to a support the locking pin can be retracted by exerting a pull on the knob 34 or it can be retracted by pressing the end of the same against the support to which it is being applied. The locking pin will snap into a locked position as soon as it is clear of the part against which it is pressed. The tapered end 30 of the locking pin wedges against the overhanging part of the support midway between the two points engaged by the two spaced apart contact elements 17. i The support is thus engaged at three spaced apart points and the clamp is very firmly secured to the support and will not tilt or rock on the support.
Fig. 8 shows two of these clamps attached to the two spaced apart angle bar side rails 13' of a bed and shows an arch shaped bed cover supporting member 45 carried by these clampsand extending across the bed above the mattress :46, indicated by dot and dash lines, so that the arch member 45 will support bed covers above the mattress far enough so the bed covers will not rest" on the body of a person in the bed. The arch 45 can be tubular with its ends fitted over stub posts on the clamp or said arch can have end portions of the type shown in Fig. 7 .fitting within suitable sockets in the clamps.
The clamps shown in Figs. 1 to 7 are ordinarily used in an upright position, as shown, but they can be applied horizontal or inverted or at any desired angle.
Fig. 9 shows a clamp of modified form which will lit over and attach to the horizontal flange of an angle bar 49, which may be one side rail of a bed. This Fig. 9 clamp is similar to the one-shown in Figs. 1 to 8 in that it :comprises a U shaped member having a shorter side 50, a longer side '51 and preferably three external flanges 52, two of which areshown, with the two outside flanges 52 terminating in contact-elements 53 like the-flangesl? 4 previously described. In the clamp shown in Fig. 9 the post supporting boss is omitted and the boss 54 which extends crosswise of the end of the longer side 51 is modified in shape so that it will receive and support a post 55 or like member. The post 55 may be of any desired length and shape or it may be one end portion of an archmember similar to the arch member 45 of Fig. 8. The boss '54 has a tubular bore 56 into which the post 55 fits loosely enough so that it will not bind and will move freely in longitudinal directions. The lowermost end of 'the bore 5'6 is enlarged by a counterbore 57 and the post 55 has two spaced apart annular grooves within which are two snap rings 58 and '59. One snap ring 59 operates within the counterbore 57. v The other snap ring 58 is positioned outwardly from but adjacent to the end of the boss '54 remote from the counterbore. The snap rings are far enough apart so they allow a substantial amount of longitudinal movement of the post 55. The lower end 60 of the post 55 is preferably of conical shape and this lower end 60 functions as a latch bolt which engages with the angle bar 49 and firmly locks the clamp thereto. The weight of the post '55 holds the lower end 60 of said post in engagement with the angle bar 49 and said end 60is retracted clear of the angle bar 49 by. exerting a lift on'the post 55. Thus the use of a spring is dispensed with in-the construction shown in Fig.9. r
Obviously posts of telescopic form affording adjustment in height can be supported from anyof theclamps herein disclosed. I i
