Abstract
A system for securing a wheeled pole, such as an IV pole, to an adjustable height mobile bed to form a movable assembly. The system includes a linkage element with first and second mounting blocks effective to secure the linkage element to an intermediate frame portion of the bed. An elastomeric member is extendable from the linkage element for engagement with a plurality of engagement members disposed on opposite sides of a channel formed in the linkage element. The elastomeric member effectively secures the IV pole in the channel for transport of the IV pole/bed assembly.
