Abstract
A selectively transportable equipment support system is provided for operative association with an invalid transport vehicle such as a hospital bed. The system includes a transport bracket for selective secured association with a hospital bed or a service column. Various patient care items are secured to the transport bracket. Such items preferably comprise infusion pumps with associated fluid bags that are typically transported with the patients and employed in surgical rooms or intensive care units. The transport bracket includes a pivot post for reception in a service column latching assembly which allows pivotable movement of the transport bracket when it is secured to a service column support arm. The service columns are pneumatically powered for powered lifting and positioning of the transport bracket.
