A bracket assembly for supporting a cylindrical canister, such as a fire extinguisher, includes a base unit having a longitudinally extending, transversely concave, front surface for cradling the canister therein and a separate flexible strap member which can be wrapped around the canister to hold it against the base unit. The base unit includes opposing cutouts in the sides thereof into which a central section of the strap can be pressed before mounting on the wall so as to interlock the strap member with the base unit. One end of the strap has a hook member thereon for engaging the other end of the strap by way of a selected one of a plurality of mating apertures therethrough. The back surface of the base unit is transversely concave and the strap member has rearwardly projecting wedge members which engage the wall during mounting and preset the strap to conform generally to the shape of the back surface. The bracket assembly is inexpensive to produce, provides support for a canister, is universal in nature in that it will accommodate different canister sizes and configurations, and it is capable of quick release if necessary.

A bracket assembly for supporting a cylindrical object thereon comprising: a rearwardly opening base unit including a longitudinally extending transversely concave front surface for cradling the object therein, a transversely convex inner wall, longitudinal side wall members extending rearwardly from said front surface, a cut-out in each of said side wall members, and means for mounting said base unit to a wall or the like; and a flexible strap member including a central locking section of reduced width relative to the width of the remainder of said flexible strap member engageable with said cut-outs, a plurality of first locking means on one end portion of said strap member, and second locking means on the other end portion of said strap member engageable with a selected one of said first locking means; whereby with said central locking section of said strap member engaging said cut-outs, said base unit may be mounted to a wall or the like with each of the end portions of said strap member extending away from the base unit side wall member, a cylindrical object may be placed against the front surface of said base unit, and said strap end portions may be wrapped around the object with the second locking means moved into locking engagement with a selected one of said first locking means to secure the object against said base unit front surface.
