ABSTRACT:
A bracket unit for holding devices having tanks of various diameters such as fire extinguishers. In one embodiment, a pair of straps and a shim are detachably affixed to the body of the bracket by tabs so that the entire unit is initially of one piece construction. After being detached from the body, one end of each of the straps is engaged within one of a plurality of apertures defined at either side of the body. The bracket unit is adaptable to cylinders of various diameter by engaging the straps within appropriate apertures in the body. A clamp, having two prongs, at the upper portion of the body engages the neck portion of the fire extinguisher and stops at the ends of each prong limits possible rotation of the fire extinguisher so that the gauge is kept facing away from the bracket. A support at a lower portion of the body accommodates a portion of the cylinder. A shim may be removably attached to the support to accommodate smaller diameter cylinders.
