Abstract

A holder for SCUBA tanks or other similar cylindrical articles for storing such tanks along the deck of a boat or the like is molded from a unitary sheet having at least one concavity extending from the upper surface interiorly between the lateral sides, the sheet being sufficiently flexible that the weight of a SCUBA tank stored within the concavity causes flexure of the sheet so that the concavity rests on the supporting surface.
