ABSTRACT:
A portable carrier for hand conveyance of cylindrical tanks in a substantially horizontal position, particularly useful for carrying SCUBA compressed air storage tanks. The carrier includes a rigid saddle contoured to mate against a portion of the circumference of the cylindrical tank to be carried, a handle rotatably mounted on the saddle, and a flexible strap for surrounding the remaining portion of the perimeter of the tank. One end of the strap is connected to one end of the saddle and the other end of the strap is wrapped around a portion of the handle such that as the handle is lifted, the strap is tightened against the tank. Length of the strap is adjustable to accommodate different diameter tanks and to provide optional means for rotating and holding the handle against the saddle in a fixed stored position. The carrier is also releasable and quickly removable from the tank.
