A cap device that closes a tank opening engages with an opening engagement
element formed in a periphery of a tank opening. The cap device includes
a handle mechanism that is rotationally mounted on a closer. The handle
mechanism rotates the closer to close and open the tank opening. A torque
mechanism is located between the handle mechanism and the closer and
selectively transmits torque in the closing direction and the opening
direction to the closer. The torque mechanism is constructed to prevent
an engagement sound from being produced when the tank is being opened.
