ABSTRACT:
A valve guard for a gas tank having a valve at the top of the tank and an apertured flange at the top of the tank which is spaced from the valve. The valve guard comprises a top wall which is adapted to overlie the valve handle and extend over the top of the flange to a point outside of the flange. The valve guard also has a plurality of vertical walls and a bottom wall which has a slot through which the valve stem extends so that the bottom wall is positioned between the valve handle and the valve casing. The forward end of the bottom wall extends through an opening in the flange so that it underlies the forwardly extending portion of the top wall and has an aperture which is aligned with a similar aperture in the top wall for receiving the shackle of a lock.
