Abstract (en)
The cap can be push-fitted, for example, on a keg spear and has teeth 13 which engage over an annular projection 50 on the spear. The teeth are designed to permit easy fitting, but difficult removal. Each tooth 13 is hinged at 41 to the cap skirt, so as to move pivotally to permit passage over projection, but is biased to a position resisting removal. Each tooth is pivotally in the reverse direction when an attempt is made to remove the cap, causing a tail member (45) associated with the tooth to engage a stop (39) and serve as a resistive support for the tooth. <IMAGE>
