ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for holding an elongated tank such as a propane tank in an upright position when the apparatus is positioned on an inclined surface is disclosed. The apparatus includes a base support to provide a footing for the apparatus on the surface, a tank support for carrying the tank. The tank is secured to the tank support with the longitudinal axis of the tank extending substantially perpendicular to a plane of support associated with the tank support. Further, the tank support is pivotally connected to the base support to permit pivotal movement of the tank support relative to the base support about a pivot axis extending parallel to the plane of support, and is pivotable about the pivot axis between a position where the plane of support extends substantially parallel to the inclined surface and a braced position where the plane of support extends substantially horizontally.
