ABSTRACT:
A cap assembly for a container, such as a "beer ball", is disclosed wherein a cap member is removably attached to a neck, portion of the container. The assembly includes a seal between the cap member and the container neck and uses a split ring to urge the cap member into contact with the container neck in order to keep them sealed. The cap member has a first cam surface which interacts with a second cam surface formed on the split ring member to convert a transverse force exerted on the cap member by the split ring member into a generally axial force acting on the cap member to urge it into contact with the container neck. The cap member may close the end of the container neck and may also be used to attach various accessories to the container.
