A cylinder holder is provided for supporting a cylinder while the assembly rests on a generally horizontally oriented work surface. A radially disposed support surface provides for contact with the work surface. A tank contacting chamber is provided which has a tank contacting surface radially disposed therein which contacts a lower tank outer surface of the cylindrical tank in close proximity to a sealed end. The tank contacting chamber also has a plurality of extensions radially disposed therein to extend inward from a lower extent of the tank contacting surface. These extensions contact the sealed end of the cylindrical tank while the cylindrical tank is positioned within the tank contacting chamber. Connection means are provided to position the support surface relative to the tank contacting chamber. Binding means are provided to produce a compression contact between at least a portion of the tank contacting surface of the tank contacting chamber and the lower tank outer surface of the cylindrical tank while the cylindrical tank is positioned within the tank contacting chamber. This combination provides for the cylinder holder to be retained on the cylindrical tank during usage of the cylindrical tank while allowing for the cylindrical tank to be unattendedly positioned in a vertically oriented position on the work surface. |
