Abstract: A bottle holder assembly in a preferred embodiment adapted for use as an inflight intravenous bottle holder aboard an aircraft on an aeromedical airlift mission. The holder comprises: a cradle, generally configurated in the form of an inverted T, with an upper and a lower end and with a slot in each end, and with each end bent backwardly; a hook removably connected to the upper end; and, a strap subassembly attached to the cradle and suitably configurated and dimensioned to accept a standard intravenous bottle which is in the inverted, operative position. The intravenous bottle holder is removably attachable to, and slideably movable along, any one of the plurality of conventional litter support straps which such an aircraft is equipped. The cradle of the bottle holder is held in a gripping action with the support strap because of friction. The bottle holder is exceptionally well suited for the purpose intended, and obviates the current, unsatisfactory, use of makeshift methods to support and use the inverted intravenous bottle.
