ABSTRACT:
A protective container for a scuba tank. The container is made of rugged, flexible material, such as plastic or rubber. The container has an open top for placing the container over the tank, a cylindrical body for protecting the side of the tank, and a base for protecting the bottom of the tank. The upper portion of the container is tapered gently inwardly and upwardly to decrease resistance to the water. The inner surface of the container has longitudinal ribs for draining water from the top to the bottom of the container. The outer surface of the container has five longitudinal outriggers to prevent rolling of the tank when it is lying on a surface and providing the least amount of resistance to the water when the tank is in use. The container wall is extended below the base to supply protection against vertical stress when the tank is dropped. The inner surface of the base contains radial drainage channels to dispose of water inside the container. The outer surface of the base contains strengthening ribs. A central opening in the base serves as an outlet channel for water inside the container and as an inlet for an air valve which allows the easy removal of the container from the tank.
