Abstract
A collapsible holder for receiving an oxygen container is configured to be attached to a support structure of a patient transport apparatus. The holder includes elongated upper and lower panels, a flexible interface extending between the upper panel and the lower panel to form an expandable compartment with an opening for receiving the oxygen container in a lateral direction, and lower sliding strips extending laterally along an interior surface of the lower panel. The lower sliding strips are configured to provide a decreased frictional force relative to the lower panel when receiving the oxygen container within the expandable compartment.
