Abstract
Hospital equipment includes a member and a clip mounting to the member. The clip includes a first clip member and a second clip member pivotally interconnected with the first clip member about a pivot axis. Each of the first and second clip members has a receiving portion for receiving the member. A biasing member urges the first clip member and the second clip member toward each other wherein when the first clip member and the second clip member straddle the frame or rail member and the frame or rail member is positioned in the receiving portions, the biasing member urges the first and second clip members to engage the frame or rail member. An accessory mounting member is configured for mounting an accessory to the clip and is coupled to one of the clip members wherein the clip may be used for mounting an accessory to the member.
