Abstract
A device for fitting a screw cap to a container, the device comprising a guide () for insertion of a container () along a first axis (), and a holding area () for loading of the cap(s) () along a second axis (). The holding area is coupled to the guide so as to form a channel () there-between. A slider () is movable along the channel so as to allow loading of the cap into the holding area and subsequently bring the cap into contact with a rotating engaging element (). The slider holds the cap in place against the rotating engaging element while it rotates to fit the cap to the container. The first axis is different from the second axis such that the cap is supported by a portion of the guide upon release from the holding area.
