Design Concept

The quick release fire extinguisher mount is designed for rapid access during emergencies. The robust construction ensures a secure attachment while allowing for an effortless release with a simple motion.

Purpose

Ideal for vehicles or workshops, this mount is perfect for ensuring safety against fires by providing quick access to fire extinguishers or any other thing that needs a quick release bracket.

This is a quick release mount for fire extinguishers but, can be used for any small cylinder shaped object that needs a quick release. It can be scroll clamped to roll cages or it has holes for mounting screws. To use just pull the pin and it'll release one side of the bracket then slide it out the slot. I added a honey comb shim that is ment to be a pad if wanted/needed. The pad is ment to be printed in TPU.

Parts list

1) 1/4x20 bolt 3/4 inches long (Pivot bolt)

2) 1/4 bolt 4 inches long (this is your pull pin and will be trimmed)

3) a 0.031x0.31x1 coil spring

4) a 1/8 or smaller roll pin 0.4 inches long (Im using a 1/8" hard plastic pin) This is your spring retaining pin

Assembly instructions

1) Clean and debur part as needed

2) Check fitment between the two brackets

3) Tap the 1/4x20 hole for the pivot pin

4) Slide pivot bolt through pivot bushing as you assemble. Start threads and then add a drop of super glue to the female threads. Tighten to snug

5) Start assembly of Quick Release (QR) pin. Put bolt hadle and spring housing on to bolt. Make sure the head of the bolt is seated into the recess of the handle. Make a mark on the bolt where it is sticking out spring housing.

6) Disassemble. Center punch and drill a hole through the bolt that is the size of your spring retaining pin.

7) Re-assemble QR pin assembly with spring and spring retainer.

8) Temp mount QR pin assembly to bracket. Make sure to fully seat the spring housing and bolt. This will make it so you can mark the pin to be cut

9) Make a mark on the back side of the braket. Your mark should be about 2.55 inches from the bottom of the head of the bolt. Cut bolt and debur. (make sure not to get the bolt hot as you cut it)

10) Test fit QR assembly one last time. Make sure the pin slides smoothly and doesn't snag. Check to make sure that when the pin is pulled that it fully retracts to the spring side. File down any of the bolt that sticks into the center gap with pin retracted. If the pin isn't flush to spring side of mount, it will not release when fully assembled. Once you think the QR pin is good, test it with the other bracket, confirm that the pin retracts fully and both brackets seperate.

11) Now you can glue the spring housing to the side of the backet. Once glue is dry, it is ready to have a tank mounted to it.

12) I recomend that you soften the honey comb ears with heat before you mount your tank. This will help to avoid stress and/or cracking as you tighten the scroll clamp on a tank that is offside. You could also add the TPU pad thats in the file.
