MOUNTING BRACKET WITH INERTIA DAMPENING MECHANISM FOR HOLDING A CYLINDRICAL TANK

摘要

A mounting assembly for mounting a tank including a backing plate, a foot plate secured to a bottom portion of the backing plate and a clamping assembly secured to a top portion of the backing plate spaced from the foot plate such that a tank receiving zone is defined between the foot plate and the clamping assembly. The clamping assembly includes a bracket secured to the backing plate and a clamping member pivotally secured to the bracket and movable between a clamping position and a releasing position. An inertial assembly is configured to engage a portion of the clamping member and configured such that upon a high pivoting force, the inertial assembly prevents pivoting o the clamping member while allowing pivoting under a normal pivoting force.
