Abstract

An apparatus arranged to fixedly mount a syringe bottle in a downwardly angulated orientation, including a support member formed with a concave semi-cylindrical sleeve, with the sleeve mounting an elastomeric band selectively securable to a side of the sleeve for assembly of the bottle to the sleeve to permit access of the bottle in filling of a syringe therefrom. A modification of the invention includes illumination structure to enhance visibility of the organization in use.

Claims

1. A syringe bottle support apparatus comprising, in combination,

a first support base, the first support base defined by a first height and including a first support base forward vertical wall, and

a first support base horizontal top wall, and

a second support base defined by a second height less than the first height extending from a lower terminal end of the first support base and fixedly mounted to the first support base vertical wall and extending below the horizontal top wall, and

the second support base mounting a sleeve at an upper terminal end of the second support base, and

strap means mounted to the sleeve for securement of a chemical dispensing container to the sleeve, and

wherein the sleeve is of a semi-cylindrical configuration and fixedly mounted to the upper terminal end of the second support base, and the sleeve coextensively mounted to the upper terminal end of the second support base and extending forwardly thereof and extending downwardly relative to the first support base vertical wall, and defining an acute included angle between the sleeve and the first support base vertical wall, and

wherein the strap means is formed of elastomeric material and is fixedly mounted to a first side of the sleeve, wherein the strap is selectively and reasonably securable to a second side of the sleeve, wherein the second side of the sleeve includes a second hook and loop fastener patch, and the strap includes a first hook and loop fastener patch selectively cooperative with the second hook and loop fastener patch, with the first hook and loop fastener patch mounted to a free end of the strap remote from the first side of the sleeve, with the strap oriented to overlie the sleeve, and the sleeve defining a concave trough to receive the container therewithin, and

further including an adjustably mounted deformably positionable support arm fixedly mounted at its lower terminal end to the horizontal top wall, and a forward end of the supprt arm spaced from the horizontal top wall is radially and fixedly mounted to a magnification lens housing, including a magnification lens therewithin, and the housing including a light housing mounted to the magnification lens, with a light member mounted within the light housing positioned below the magnification lens, with a switch mounted within the light housing to selectively actuate the light member.

2. An apparatus as set forth in claim 1 wherein the first support base includes a vertical first side wall spaced from and parallel to a vertical second side wall, the first side wall includes an elongate coextensive groove and the vertical second side wall includes an elongate tongue member to permit securement of a further first support base, with the further first support base including a vertical first side wall and a vertical second side wall, with the vertical second side wall of the further support base receivable within the vertical first side wall of the first support base.
