Patent attributes
Portable apparatus for receiving and supporting scuba diving tanks when not in use. A collapsible or folding sawhorse supports an overlying scuba tank caddy. The caddy includes a horizontal top panel and a horizontal lower panel disposed below the top panel. The top panel has one or more openings adapted to receive a scuba tank. Each scuba tank, when inserted through an opening in the top panel, is supported by the lower panel, which in turn is supported by the sawhorse whereby the tank is maintained upright within the caddy and at a height suitable for a diver to mount a tank from the caddy to his back and vice-versa. In one embodiment, intended for two or more divers who each wear a single scuba tank, the openings are spaced about two feet apart. In an alternative embodiment, intended for a diver who wears dual scuba tanks, the openings are spaced about six inches apart.
