Abstract
A device for holding an automobile fuel-tank filler port cap comprises a mounting member secured to a position near the filler port, a ring-like holding member rotatably fitted in an annular groove of the cap, and a connecting member connecting the mounting and holding members. The connecting and holding members are folded over the mounting member when the cap is fitted on the filler port. When the cap is removed, all the members are extended into a strip-like form to hold the cap in a hanging state.
