Abstract
A mounting assembly for mounting a tank including a backing plate, a foot plate secured to a bottom portion of the backing plate and a clamping assembly secured to a top portion of the backing plate spaced from the foot plate such that a tank receiving zone is defined between the foot plate and the clamping assembly. The clamping assembly includes a bracket secured to the backing plate and a clamping member pivotally secured to the bracket and movable between a clamping position and a releasing position. The clamping assembly further includes a mechanical lock-out mechanism including a lock-out member moveable between an open position wherein the clamping member is free to pivot to the releasing position and a closed position wherein the lock-out member engages a portion of the clamping member and prevents pivoting thereof. The lock-out member is biased to the open position but moves to the closed position upon application of a high lateral force.
