ABSTRACT:
A mounting plate or bracket, of the type used by firefighters or members of rescue squads, is equipped with rollers at the free ends of springable clamp arms. The location and the extent of projection of the rollers, in respect to the form and location of the clamp arms, facilitates entry and removal of the air cylinder of a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). An air cylinder favored today is of the composite type, comprising a lightweight aluminum shell about which glass fiber filaments impregnated with epoxy resin are wrapped both longitudinally and helically. A cylinder of this type presents a disadvantage in that breakage of even a few filaments causes loosening of the entire wrap. This in turn requires that the cylinder by re-wrapped completely, at substantial expense. The present invention, as compared to mounting plates or air cylinder support brackets previously in use, allows the air cylinder to be moved into or out of engagement with the clamp arms without breakage or other damage to the glass fiber filaments of the supported cylinder.
