Intravenous device attachment mechanism for wagons

An accessory attachment mechanism for a wagon, comprising:

• a mounting bracket connected to the wagon, the mounting bracket having a first opening, a second opening, and a pivot member;
• a pivot arm having a first end and a second end, the first end of the pivot arm being pivotally connected to the mounting bracket at the pivot member, the pivot arm pivoting about a pivot arm plane generally parallel to a base of the wagon between a storage position and a use position;
• a pin extending through the pivot arm entirely about a plane generally parallel to the pivot arm plane and into the first opening of the mounting bracket when the pivot arm is in the storage position, the pin extending into the second opening of the mounting bracket when the pivot arm is in the use position, and the pin being retractable from the first and second openings to allow the pivot arm to transition therebetween, the pin having a flange extending therefrom to operate as a stop against an interior surface of the pivot arm;
• and,
• a retention mechanism at the second end of the pivot arm, the retention mechanism having a moveable clamp member adapted to secure an accessory thereto.

• a pivot arm having a first end and a second end, the first end of the pivot arm being pivotally connected to the mounting bracket at the pivot member, the pivot arm pivoting between a storage position and a use position, wherein the pivot arm pivots between 40° and 80° when pivoted from the storage position to the use position;
• a pin connected to the pivot arm, the pin extending into the first opening of the mounting bracket when the pivot arm is in the storage position, the pin extending into the second opening of the mounting bracket when the pivot arm is in the use position, and the pin being retractable from the first and second openings to allow the pivot arm to transition therebetween;
• an end cap connected to the pivot arm at the first end thereof, the end cap extending beyond the first end of the pivot arm, the end cap having a stop that engages the mounting bracket in the use position to prevent over-rotation of the pivot arm;
• and,
• a retention mechanism at the second end of the pivot arm, the retention mechanism having a moveable clamp member adapted to secure an accessory thereto.
