Abstract

A neck ring has inwardly projecting fingers for engaging a threaded neck of a gas cylinder. The fingers are flexible and sloped upwardly to securely hold the neck ring on the cylinder while permitting removal without damaging the neck ring. Identification labels are mounted on flat, translucent or opaque tags. The separate tags are hinged and spaced apart to accommodate differently configured cylinders.
