A lined composite pressure vessel is adapted for mounting in upright position on a flat surface or the like in which a filament wound pressure vessel has a polar closed end and is formed with a liner. An end boss extends through the closed end with an annular skirt positioned adjacent to an outside surface of the liner in which the skirt is encapsulated by the filament windings of the pressure vessel. The end boss has a generally axial portion extending from the skirt forming an outwardly opening annular recess, the recess having an outer knurled surface, and receives therein winding filaments of the pressure vessel body so that the end boss is encapsulated in place. A face portion of the end boss is provided with a means by which a support platform may be mounted on the end boss for supporting the torsional and bending stresses are distributed by the end boss over a substantial area of the pressure vessel.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A lined composite pressure vessel for mounting in an upright position on a flat surface or the like, comprising a filament wound wall having a polar closed end and having a liner therein, an end boss formed with a skirt positioned adjacent to an outside surface of such liner at said polar end, and said boss having a generally axial portion extending from said liner, said filament wound wall encapsulating said skirt and said axial portion, a face portion of said boss being positioned exteriorly of said closed end, and a support platform mounted at the face portion of said end boss by which said pressure vessel may be supported with its cylindrical body on a generally vertical axis.
