A method for securing a closure on a cylindrical container (such as a pharmaceutical vial) includes: positioning a closure (C) in a first position, the closure being substantially centered via a centering assembly (130) along an axis (A2) that is generally normal to the closure; translating the substantially centered closure along the axis to a second position; positioning a cylindrical container, the container being substantially centered via the centering assembly (130) along the axis (A2); translating the substantially centered closure (C) along the axis to a third position in which it is adjacent the substantially centered container (V); and relatively rotating the closure and the container to secure the closure to the container. With such a method, both the closure and the cylinder can be centered along the axis, thereby registering them with each other for reliable securing

L'invention concerne un appareil pour faciliter la fixation d'un capuchon sur un contenant cylindrique, l'appareil comprenant une base et une pluralité de lames, chacune des lames comprenant un bord tranchant et étant montée sur la base de telle sorte que le bord tranchant est exposé. Les lames sont montées dans un agencement généralement circulaire, les bords tranchants rayonnant généralement à partir d'une partie centrale de la base, de telle sorte que les bords tranchants sont positionnés pour venir en contact avec un bord périphérique d'un capuchon lorsqu'il est fixé au contenant cylindrique. Dans cette configuration, l'appareil peut maintenir fermement le capuchon lorsque le contenant cylindrique (tel qu'un flacon pharmaceutique) est tourné pour fixer le capuchon sur le contenant.
