Abstract

See full text

A mounting arrangement for securing the neck of a compressed gas cylinder to a bulkhead is designed to permit articulation of the cylinder axis relative to the bulkhead without placing undue stress on the cylinder neck. The mounting includes a ball-and-socket-type arrangement in which the bail is provided by a ring formed from a sphere with a cylindricai through-passage, the ring fitting over the cylinder neck, and the socket is provided by a pair of mated flanges with flared inner edges which together contact and capture the spherical curvature of the ring. The flanges are bolted to the bulkhead. An anti-rotation plate is also mounted to the bulkhead over the protruding end of the cylinder neck, permitting the cylinder neck freedom of motion in two orthogonal directions but not rotation.
