A tank holding assembly for releasably securing a tank therewithin which is attachable to a hollow seat back to facilitate rapid tank donning when seated. A housing is included with a tank receiving recess positionable in the hollow seat back area. The housing is preferably made of a flexibly resilient plastic material for protection of the tank but includes a retaining bracket, preferably of metal, secured to the rear portion for strengthening and securement to a seat back. A restraining strap extends through openings defined in the housing and the retaining bracket and around the tank for firm securement thereof. A releasable clasping device can be included for selectively holding the restraining strap extending about the tank. A release lanyard can be included for facilitating speedy disengaging of the clasping device. A magnetic device is designed for holding the clasp in the opened position.

The invention of claim 1 wherein each said appendage comprises a protruding vertical wall integrally formed with a generally angular projection for deflecting and engaging said bendable prong. 3. The invention of claim 1, wherein each said central hub engaging section comprises one or more elongated projecting flanges to assist in mounting and securing the hub member between said first disc-shaped side retaining member and said second disc-shaped side retaining member. 4. A pair of disc-shaped side retaining members each formed with a central hub engaging section with an annular projecting collar defining a central primary opening for engaging a shaft, a secondary opening, an appendage integrally formed with said secondary opening, and a bendable prong, each of said prongs having a distal end and defining a slotted opening for releasably engaging said appendage of the other of the side retaining members; and, a hub member having opposing sides and defining a central aperture therethrough for receiving said annular projecting collar and a shaft, and openings therethrough for receiving said bendable prongs, wherein said bendable prongs pass through said openings for receiving said bendable prongs and extend outwardly toward opposing disc-shaped side retaining members, whereby said bendable prongs are deflected outwardly as the distal end of each said prong engages said respective appendage and recoils to enable said slotted opening to retentively engage said appendage.
