Abstract
A cylinder tote for carrying a compressed gas cylinder of the type having a flangeless neck and a valve assembly mounted atop thereof includes a handle member having a first end and an open-ended opposite end, a yoke member having a second end and an open-ended third end, the third end including a pair of legs adapted to support the valve assembly, and an intermediate member disposed between and connecting the first end of the handle member and the second end of the yoke member wherein, when the yoke member is disposed on and engages the valve assembly disposed atop the compressed gas cylinder, the cylinder tote may be used to transport the compressed gas cylinder.
Claims17
A cylinder tote for carrying a compressed gas cylinder of the type having a flangeless neck and a valve assembly mounted atop thereof, the cylinder tote comprising:
- a handle member having a first end and an open-ended opposite end;
- a yoke member, the yoke member having a second end and an open-ended third end, the third end including a pair of legs adapted to support the valve assembly of the compressed gas cylinder when engaged thereon;
- an intermediate member, the intermediate member disposed between and connecting the first end of the handle member and the second end of the yoke member, such that the handle member and the yoke member are disposed relatively parallel to one another;
- wherein when the yoke member is disposed on and engages the valve assembly disposed atop the compressed gas cylinder, the cylinder tote may be used to transport the compressed gas cylinder.
The cylinder tote according to clam 1, wherein:
- the intermediate member is disposed between and connects the first end of the handle member and the second end of the yoke member in a substantially parallel relationship.
A cylinder tote for carrying a compressed gas cylinder of the type having a flangeless neck and a valve assembly mounted atop thereof, the cylinder tote comprising:
- a handle member having a first end and an open-ended opposite end;
- a yoke member, the yoke member having a second end and an open-ended third end, the third end including a pair of legs adapted to support the valve assembly of the compressed gas cylinder when engaged thereon;
- an intermediate member, the intermediate member disposed between and connecting the first end of the handle member and the second end of the yoke member;
- wherein when the yoke member is disposed on and engages the valve assembly disposed atop the compressed gas cylinder, the cylinder tote may be used to transport the compressed gas cylinder;
- and
- the intermediate member disposed between and connecting the first end of the handle member and the second end of the yoke member is substantially planar and extends relatively perpendicular therebetween.
