ABSTRACT:
An apparatus adapted to be secured to an emergency vehicle such as a fire truck which is adapted to store a collapsible water storage tank and to be moved upwardly to the stored position with the stored tank in the inverted position to facilitate drainage therefrom. The apparatus includes a main bracket secured to the vehicle with a back arm pivotally secured to the main bracket and extending upwardly therefrom and a lower arm pivotally secured to the main bracket and extending outwardly therefrom. A shelf arm is pivotally secured to the distal ends of the lower arm and the back arm to facilitate control and movement thereof. Pivotal connection between the back arm and the shelf arm is made through an actuator drive pin. The actuator drive pin is also pivotally secured with respect to an axially extensible actuator such as an electrically powered piston adapted to facilitate movement of the article retaining apparatus between the stored and lowered positions. An article retaining device is fixedly secured with respect to the lower arm in order to be movable therewith from the lowered position wherein access to the interior thereof is available to the upper position which is the stored position for retaining of the article within an article holding chamber in an inverted fashion. An adjustment capability is included for varying the positioning of the various arms with respect to one another and maintaining alignment thereof.
