Claim:
A device for attaching a respiratory ventilator and a respiratory ventilator power supply to a support of a movable conveyance, such support being reclinable from a first position to a second position, the device comprising: a carrier having a generally open framework, including: a front portion and a rear portion opposite said front portion; said front portion and said rear portion defining a receiver therebetween that receives the respiratory ventilator; said front portion including a first front rail and a second front rail; said rear portion including a first rear rail and a second rear rail; said first rear rail terminating in a generally semi-circular first coupling; said second rear rail terminating in a generally semi-circular second coupling; a first side rail extending between said first front rail and said first rear rail; a second side rail extending between said second front rail and said second rear rail; a first bottom rail extending between said first front rail and said first rear rail; a second bottom rail extending between said second front rail and said second rear rail; a third bottom rail extending between said first bottom rail and said second bottom rail; a first pivotal connector that permits said first coupling to pivot with respect to said first rail between a locked position and an unlocked position; a second pivotal connector that permits said second coupling to pivot with respect to said second rail between a locked position and an unlocked position; a first spring that biases said first coupling towards said locked position; and a second spring that biases said second coupling towards said locked position; a first power supply attachment portion and a second power supply attachment portion connected to said front portion of said carrier; said first power supply attachment portion and said second power supply attachment portion each extending outwardly from said front portion of said carrier in a direction away from said receiver; said carrier having an upper portion proximate said first coupling and said second coupling and a lower portion proximate said third bottom rail; said first coupling and said second coupling each being configured to engage the support of the movable conveyance and to cause said carrier to hang from and pivot readily about the support of the movable conveyance as the support moves between the first position and the second position; said first coupling and said second coupling each being configured to cause said lower portion of said carrier to move relative to and towards the support of the movable conveyance as the support reclines from the first position to the second position; and said first coupling and said second coupling each being configured to cause said lower portion of said carrier to move relative to and away from the support of the movable conveyance as the support moves from the second position to the first position.
