ABSTRACT:
A ring assembly for compressed gas cylinders includes either a separate adaptor removably attachable to existing gas cylinders or, a ring member integral with the top portion of manufactured cylinders. In any case, a ring plate provides a horizontal, radially disposed lift plate that serves to allow lifting, transporting and storage of the cylinders. In the adaptor version, the ring plate surrounds a collar having upper and lower portions respectively provided with external and internal threads. The lower portion threads engage with the existing external threads on the top portion of gas cylinders and which normally provide for attachment of the required safety cap while the upper portion threads duplicate the cylinder threads and thus enable attachment of the protector cap thereto. Manipulation or hanging of a cylinder equipped with the ring adaptor may be by manual grasping of the ring plate or by insertion of lift hooks into holes formed in the ring plate or by placing lift forks beneath the plate. Such lifting means may be part of a hand operated grappling device, suspended from a hoist line, mounted upon a hand truck or the like or, fixedly attached to a wall or panel. Securing and removal of the ring adaptor from a cylinder is facilitated through use of a spanner tool having prongs engageable within diametrically opposed notches on the periphery of the ring plate.
