Patent attributes
A clamp is provided for securing an accessory to a rail of a patient support apparatus. The clamp comprises a first jaw adapted to be placed on the rail, a second jaw coupled to the first jaw for movement between an open position and a closed position, a resilient member that is forced against the rail when the second jaw is moved from the open position to the closed position, and a latch coupled to the second jaw and movable relative to the second jaw between a latched position in which the second jaw is locked in the closed position relative to the first jaw and an unlatched position in which the second jaw is movable between the open and closed positions. The resilient member engages the rail with sufficient force to inhibit movement of the clamp along the rail when the second jaw is in the closed position.
