Abstract: Apparatus for retaining a canister having an adjustable base and at least one swing member attached to the base and preferably two swing members attached to the base opposite each other. The base further has a spring member disposed thereupon and in contact with the swing member to keep the swing member in a first open position. The swing member has a first end that is rotatably attached to the base via a hinge member and a second end that has a semicircular recess formed therein. The base is adjustable to provide an adjustable range of motion of the swing member with respect to the base. In operation, the apparatus moves from a first open position to a second closed position upon application of a force upon the swing members to retain a canister placed between the swing members. Use of the apparatus results in no temporary movement or constricting of a worker's limbs which can cause imbalance or injury nor requires a second person to stabilize the canister.

Abstract translation: 用于保持具有可调节底座的罐和连接到基座的至少一个摆动构件的装置，并且优选地，两个摆动构件连接到彼此相对的基座。 基座还具有设置在其上并与摆动构件接触的弹簧构件，以将摆动构件保持在第一打开位置。 摆动构件具有通过铰链构件可旋转地附接到基座的第一端和形成有半圆形凹部的第二端。 基座是可调节的，以提供摆动构件相对于底座的可调运动范围。 在操作中，当在摆动构件上施加力以保持放置在摆动构件之间的罐时，设备从第一打开位置移动到第二关闭位置。 使用该装置不会导致工作人员肢体的暂时移动或收缩，这可能导致不平衡或受伤，也不需要第二人稳定罐。
