Abstract From the Canadian patent

A self-centering rotatable closure retainer adapted for use with a conventional cylindrical primary container cap is disclosed. The retainer comprises a support to which three or more radially inwardly projecting flexible ribs are attached so that they tangentially engage the outer wall of the cap frictionally securing the retainer to the cap. The self-centering closure retainer can be readily rotated about and removed from the primary cap without disturbing the cap.
