<p>A mounting assembly for self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) comprises a back plate 20 having a plurality of apertures 6 formed therein, arranged in two columns which extend along opposing side edges of the plate. The apertures are able to receive and engage mounting straps 2 which can be interfaced with mounting straps of a carrying jacket so as to fasten, in use, the plate to the jacket. A tank securing means 10 (for example a strap with a quick release mechanism) is fastened to the plate 1 and, in use, is engageable with a supply tank, securely and releasably fastening the tank to the back plate. A valve retaining means 11 is also provided on the plate for releasably securing, in use, a valve of an air supply means (12, Fig 2) to the back plate for engagement with a supply tank. The plate may further include quick release fastening means 5 associated with each column of apertures for, in use, securing the top/bottom of a mounting strap (extending through the apertures) to the plate.</p> |
