A lower portion of a shell is slidable along the length of the body of a gas cylinder, the upper portion of the shell is larger than the lower portion and includes a wall extending fixedly from the lower portion configured to laterally surround the valve, gauge and regulator on an end of the gas cylinder and is movable with the lower portion so that it can movably extend over the body of the cylinder. In another design, a rigid shield is mounted on a bar so that it extends over a periphery of the valve, gauge and regulator group that is mounted on an end of the gas cylinder to protect the group against damage by a foreign object when the cylinder is pressed into spaced apart brackets on the bar that prevent rotation of the cylinder around the bar, by a belt around the cylinder and bar. At least one of the brackets is configured to receive a second cylinder.

[What is claimed is:] [1.]a shell having a top,a lower portion of said shell, slidable along the length of the body of the gas cylinder,an upper portion of said shell having a bottom larger in diameter than said lower portion, open at the top of said shell, comprising a circumferential vertical wall

[What is claimed is:] [1.]a shell having a top,a lower portion of said shell, slidable along the length of the body of the gas cylinder,an upper portion of said shell having a bottom larger in diameter than said lower portion, open at the top of said shell, comprising a circumferential vertical wall extending to said lower portion, configured to extend from at least the level of the top of the valve, gauge and regulator to the bottom of the valve, gauge and regulator when the lower portion of said shell is mounted on the body of the gas cylinder, configured to laterally surround the valve, gauge and regulator as the top of said upper portion moves with said lower portion past at least one of the valve, gauge, and regulator when said lower portion is slid along the length of the body of the gas cylinder away from the valve, gauge and regulator.
