There is provided apparatus which has an elongated, preferably telescopingly adjustable member having at one end thereof a latch engaging the vertically extending pole or standard of a free-wheeling IV mechanism, and a machanism on the opposite end thereof for attaching the same to a vehicle, preferably a wheelchair. In a preferred embodiment, the latch engaging the vertically extending pole or standard has a symmetrical pair of hingedly joined hemicylindrical pieces which are adapted to encircle the pole or standard, one of the pieces being fixedly attached to the elongated member, and there is on one of the two hemicylindrical pieces a locking pin and on the other one of the two hemicylindrical pieces a latch for engaging locking pin. With the aid of such apparatus, a person acting unaided may safely and conveniently transport a passenger-patient connected to IV equipment or apparatus, despite the need to traverse places where the flooring is uneven.
