Abstract: An apparatus and method for retaining pressure vessel closures (14, 15) on a container is described which utilizes alignment slots (26) disposed about the container and closure, with a filament (28) wound about the container and closure for retaining the closure to the container. The fiber, which includes a curable polymer, assures that the closure is firmly retained on the pressure vessel. Utilizing a fiber for retaining the closure to the container avoids welding, impact fasteners or the use of threaded fasteners and thus significantly reduces the weight and complexity of the pressure vessel.
