A support stand formed from a generally flat sheet of rigid material and having a base member, a generally vertical tube support member extending from the base, and a generally C-shaped portion interposed between the tube support and the base, the tube support having a generally circular edge with a plurality of generally circular notches defined therein. A canopy support member is provided having a generally vertical member with an elongate adjustment member extending therefrom and slidingly and detachably coupled to the tube support, and having a generally horizontal member hingedly attached to the generally vertical member, the generally vertical member having an opening for receiving a tube therethrough, the generally vertical member having at least one stop and the generally horizontal member having at least one surface capable of being positioned in a face to face relationship with and supporting a portion of the surface. A generally transparent canopy is preferably provided draping over the canopy support to form a space thereunder, the canopy having at least one air inlet opening, at least one air outlet opening, and at least one access opening. The horizontal member preferably has a quadrilateral shape with an opening defined therein. Alternatively, the generally horizontal member may be formed by an elongate arm with at least one finger pivotally mounted thereto and/or the apparatus may be provided without the tube support. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Generally described, the present invention provides a support apparatus for a flexible medical canopy and tubes for use with an infant bed or the like, comprising a support stand having a generally flat base member and a generally vertical tube support member extending from the base member, the tube support member having an edge with a plurality of notches defined therein, and a canopy support member comprising a generally vertical member slidingly coupled to the tube support and a generally horizontal member hingedly attached to the generally vertical member.
A canopy is preferably provided for draping over the canopy support, having access openings defined therein which provide access for attendants to reach into the canopy to comfort, reposition, and treat the infant, and typically having two openings for connecting tubes supplying oxygen, moisture and/or heat.
A first preferred embodiment of the present invention provides the support stand formed from a generally flat sheet of rigid material and having a generally C-shaped portion interposed between the tube support and the base.
The tube support edge is in a spaced apart relationship with the base and defines generally a semicircle, triangle, quadrilateral, irregular shape, or combination thereof.
The notches are generally semi-circular, and preferably at least one of the tube support notches has a larger radius than at least one other of the tube support notches.
The generally vertical member of the canopy support has an elongate adjustment member.
Preferably, the elongate adjustment member has a slot defined longitudinally therein and the tube support has a slot defined therein, the slots having an overlapping portion in a longitudinally aligned relationship with each other permitting at least one fastener to be extended through the aligned slots.
Alternatively, the elongate adjustment member has a releasable latch and the tube support has a generally vertical track with at least one catch surface, the track receiving the elongate adjustment member and the at least one catch surface operatively engaging the latch
