ABSTRACT:
A pressurized cylinder has a cap mounted thereto by a coupling comprising tabs in the cap which are rotatable within an annular groove carried by the cylinder. Stops are provided which limit rotation of the cap in both directions once the cap is installed. One of the stops comprises a movable latch which can be released to permit the cap to be removed by rearward rotation. The tabs are loosely disposed within the groove to minimize chances of the tabs becoming rusted thereto. The tabs are of elongate dimension in the circumferential direction to maximize the resistance to inadvertent dislodgement of the cap. The tabs are formed separately of the cap and are mounted within slits formed in a ductile wall of the cap to render the arrangement more shock resistant.
