A holder apparatus, being attachable on a wheelchair frame for holding a catheter bag and the like, includes a pouch defining a rectangular-shaped compartment closed at its bottom and open at its top for permitting a catheter bag to be easily inserted therein or removed therefrom, and attachment components in the form of an elongated pivot rod mounted across the pouch adjacent to the closed bottom thereof and being adapted for mounting the pouch to a portion of a wheelchair frame so as to locate the pouch below and behind the wheelchair seat. The attachment components also include a pair of clamps connected to the opposite ends of the pivot rod and being adjustable for attaching them upon and releasing them from the wheelchair frame portion. The pivot rod also mounts the pouch for pivotal movement relative to the wheelchair frame portion so as to permit the pouch to be tilted away from the wheelchair seat to a service position in which the catheter bag can be easily inserted into or removed from the pouch or tilted toward the wheelchair seat to a storage position in which the pouch holds the catheter bag substantially out of sight and out of the way while a patient uses the wheelchair. The pivot rod defines a pivotal axis across the pouch being situated relative to the pouch such that when the pouch is in its stored position, its center of gravity is located between the pivotal axis and the wheelchair seat which tends to maintain the pouch in its stored position.
