Abstract
An apparatus includes a compressor. The compressor has an air pump and a tank configured to store air compressed by the air pump. The compressor is configured to be used while in an operating position in which the tank is in an upright position. In the upright position, the tank has a vertical cylindrical side surface and a rounded top surface. A storage case is configured to be removably mounted on top of the tank in a mounted position in which the case engages both the top surface and the side surface of the tank at different locations selected so as to prevent the case from sliding off the tank when a horizontal force in any horizontal direction is applied to the tank urging the case to slide off the tank.
