A container cap assembly for capping large bottles, jars and the like that provides a latch device in combination with a container cap assembly which includes a cap body and hinged cover on which is formed a latching tongue adapted to latch to the cap body. The latching tongue is formed having a midsection member that is preferably provided with an arcuate cross-sectional configuration having inwardly bent free edges which define a spring-action biasing means, whereby the free edges are placed in tension when the latching tongue is flexed outwardly away from a protruding lip member formed on the cap body.
