Apparatus for closing containers such as jars with caps with a device for guiding the caps from a cap supply compartment utilizing spring biased guide pins having cylindrical parts which cooperate with an upper cap portion and guide heads in helping the maintain the caps horizontal. The guide members are arranged relative to a cam surface so that the edges of the cap will be controlled to properly position the cap so that during further passage of the container, the cap will be preliminarily tightened. After preliminary tightening, the cap is firmly tightened at a subsequent station in the apparatus.
