The lower portion (2) comprises a portion (8) that projects laterally relative to the cylinder and comprises a downwardly opening cut out (12) permitting the support by hooking of the cap/cylinder assembly on a structural support element. The projecting portion (8) has a transverse external profile which is flat or of large radius of curvature permitting supporting on a flat surface the cap/cylinder assembly. The upper portion (1) comprises a transverse handle (22) in substantially vertical alignment with the laterally projecting portion (8). The upper portion (1) comprises two lateral vertical ribs (23A, 23B) connecting the handle (22) to the projecting portion (8). The cap/cylinder assembly is useful particularly for medical oxygen.
