ABSTRACT:
A carrier for manual transport of a cylindrical tank of the type used for containing oxygen, acetylene, propane, helium, and the like. The carrier includes a pair of jaw members in assembled relationship surrounding a portion of the cylindrical tank wall. The jaw members have arcuate yokes located on diametrically opposite sides of the tank wall, each yoke having a relatively sharp upper arcuate gripping edge. Coupling means connect the yoke members to permit relative pivotal movement of the jaw members about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tank. Handle means are associated with each of the jaw members whereby upward movement on one or more of the handle members to lift the tank effects relative pivotal movement of the jaw members and gripping engagement of the gripping edges of the jaw members with the tank side wall whereby the tank is lifted and transported.
