A device for securely yet removably attaching a pole, for example, an intravenous pole of the type having wheels supporting it for movement across a surface, to a wheeled patient transport device, such as, a wheeled stretcher, wheelchair, or the like, so that the pole and the patient transport device can be moved as a contiguous unit across a surface, the device comprises a clamp member for removably clamping the intravenous pole and a member rigidly associated with a portion of the patient transport device for receiving the clamp thereby securing the intravenous pole thereto.

A wheeled patient transport device adapted to having a vertically elongated pole removably attached thereto comprising in combination: an outer frame defining a frame periphery, said frame having at least one support member interiorly disposed relative to said frame periphery; a bracket rigidly fixed to said support member and defining an aperture therein; an elongated male member slideably received in said aperture and including at one end clamping means for removably clamping said pole to said patient transport device so that said pole and said patient transport device are moveable as a contiguous unit when clamped one to another, wherein said bracket includes means permitting reciprocal movement of said male member between an extended position wherein said clamping means extends beyond the frame periphery to permit said clamping means to removably clamp said pole and a retracted position wherein said clamping means is retracted interiorly of the frame periphery so as to be substantially hidden.
