A carrying holder for a gas cylinder in a respirator is provided with a device for attachment and detachment of the cylinder in the carrying holder. The device includes a recess provided on the carrying holder, and is adapted to receive a support plate provided on the valve of the gas cylinder, and also a locking latch which, in the locking position, grips a support surface on the valve. The locking latch rotates around a shaft and is activated by a spring to assume the locked position.
