Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
107 words
A support for a cylinder, said support comprising at least a pair of loop-like members, each adapted to at least substantially encircle a cylinder, a single arm extending from each said member and at a substantially right angle to the plane of the loop thereof, and supporting means including a pair of fastening means for fastening the respective arms to a supporting structure, each fastening means being adapted to receive one of said arms, and a tubular member between said fastening means adapted to slidably receive the respective arms at opposite ends of said tubular member to prevent rotation of said arms about the respective fastening means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
107 words
A support for a cylinder, said support comprising at least a pair of loop-like members, each adapted to at least substantially encircle a cylinder, a single arm extending from each said member and at a substantially right angle to the plane of the loop thereof, and supporting means including a pair of fastening means for fastening the respective arms to a supporting structure, each fastening means being adapted to receive one of said arms, and a tubular member between said fastening means adapted to slidably receive the respective arms at opposite ends of said tubular member to prevent rotation of said arms about the respective fastening means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
The support of claim 1 further comprising means for limiting longitudinal movement of a cylinder in one direction through said loop-like members.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
The support of claim 2 wherein said limiting means comprises a generally U-shaped member mounted to one of said loop-like members and disposed to engage a cylinder received by said loop-like members.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
41 words
The support of claim 2 wherein said loop-like members consist of an upper and a lower member and said lower member is integral with said limiting means whereby downward movement of an upright cylinder encircled by said loop-like members is limited.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
The support of claim 4 wherein said limiting means comprises a generally U-shaped member disposed to engage said cylinder.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
29 words
The support of claim 1 wherein said fastening means permits relative vertical movement of said loop-like members whereby said members may be adjusted to receive cylinders of varying length.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
17 words
The support of claim 1 wherein each loop-like member is rotatably positionable within the respective fastening means.
