A cap device or fuel cap has a cap main body, a cover, and a torque plate
that transmits a rotational torque. The torque plate is attached to the
cap main body in a rotatable manner through engagement of catching claws
formed on the outer circumference of the torque plate with catching
projections formed on the cap main body. The cover is held on the torque
plate in a rotatable manner through engagement of engagement projections
formed on the inner wall of the cover with catching claws formed on
respective fixation elements. The engagement projections are arranged
about an axis of the cap main body and outside the catching claws. The
engagement projections are thus readily released from engagement with the
catching claws under application of an external force in any of diverse
directions, for example, due to a collision of a vehicle, so as to
maintain the sufficient sealing properties of the cap main body.
