Fire Extinguisher Bracket

thingiverse

This fire extinguisher bracket is designed for mounting the extinguisher to the top of my vehicle emergency kit. Other methods of carrying an extinguisher in a vehicle typically require some sort of mounting hardware that installs via drilling and inserting bolts into the vehicle itself. By mounting the fire extinguisher to the vehicle emergency kit, vehicle modifications are no longer needed. This design allows the fire extinguisher to go with the bag and into whichever vehicle. The bracket allows the extinguisher to snap into place and does not allow the extinguisher neck to easily dismount without intentional effort. The circles throughout the design are for weight savings. The 1* symbol comes from the military and first responder patch reminding them to be careful because they only have one "butt" to risk. Typically, you have no obligation to fight the fire...even if you are trained to do so. The phrase printed on the bracket is to remind the user to complete a situational assessment before attempting to fight a fire with a 2.5 pound extinguisher and to be safe while doing so. Note: I found that the extinguisher gauge facing down could prevent it from being damaged from impacts. However, I did not think of that part prior so I made it with the gauge side up handle in the bracket, which holds it more securely. Depending on how you mount yours, you may need to reverse my design to have the gauge face down and have the handle in the bracket. Last Note: The 3D printed mount does hold the extinguisher securely. However, out of an abundance of caution, this bag/extinguisher/bracket combination should be placed in the trunk so that no flying objects will be in the cabin should something come loose in a collision.
