Abstract: A device for securing a fire extinguisher to a welding tank is disclosed. In the preferred embodiment, an adjustable retaining strap is connected to a fire extinguisher hanger having opposing flanged members that define a receiving area for the neck of a fire extinguisher. Each flanged member has sections of stepped thickness to provide a press fit for the neck of the fire extinguisher into the receiving area. A utility hook is also attached to the retaining band for hanging hoses, welding masks and respirators. A utility box is also attached to the retaining band to provide storage for smaller objects such as welding tips. Alternative embodiments provide a retaining clip for receiving and retaining the fire extinguisher and a retaining clamp for receiving the welding tank. Other alternative embodiments provide a collar and hanging assembly for attaching the fire extinguisher hanger to the welding tank. A securing strap is also disclosed for securing collared embodiments to the welding tank.
