A transport support for securing a free standing transportable accessory having a high center of gravity such as a portable IV stand to a transporting vehicle having a relatively low center of gravity such as a wheeled gurney or wheelchair. The transport support comprises a first member secured to the transporting vehicle and a matingly indentical second member coupled to the transportable accessory, and releasable members for coupling the first and second members together. The releasable members including mating serrated washers for fixing a desired angular relationship between the vehicle and accessory.
