Medical device support apparatus for litter

An apparatus for mounting medical devices, the apparatus including a frame assembly, comprising:

• a pair of parallel rails fixed to at least two transverse rails extending between the pair of parallel rails;
• a pair of arm assemblies pivotally attached to opposing first and second ends of the pair of parallel rails;
• each arm assembly including a pair of parallel arms with each arm including a clamp at a distal end for engaging a pole of a litter having a pair of parallel poles, each arm assembly including two transverse rails extending between the pair of parallel arms;
• each arm depending downwardly and normal to a respective one of the pair of parallel rails in an open position of the frame assembly and extending parallel to the respective one of the pair of parallel rails in a folded position of the frame assembly;
• a pair of retractable spring plungers inserted through respective openings in the first ends of the pair of parallel rails and through respective openings in proximal ends of the pair of parallel arms to lock the pair of parallel arms of the arm assembly at the first end of the parallel rails normal to the first ends of the parallel rails;
• and
• a tensioner assembly including a threaded rod with one end of the tensioner assembly pivotally attached to a lower one of the two transverse rails of the arm assembly at the second end of the pair of parallel rails and another end of the tensioner assembly disposed in a slotted receiver fixed to one of the at least two transverse rails extending between the pair of parallel rails.
