Abstract
This disclosure includes apparatuses and methods for temporarily securing a movable accessory structure relative to a movable patient-support structure. Some of the present apparatuses include an S-shaped body having a front, a back, a top, a bottom, a first side, a second side, and a longitudinal axis extending through the first and second sides, the body defining a first hook on the first side, and a second hook on the second side, the first hook opening toward the front of the body to define a first opening, and the second hook opening toward the back of the body to define a second opening. In some apparatuses, the first hook is dimensioned to receive a first member of the patient-support structure, and the second hook is dimensioned to receive a second member of the accessory structure, such that the body will resist separation of the accessory structure from the patient-support structure during movement of the patient-support structure.
