<p>OF THE DISCLSOURE A device for pivoting a pivotable member about its pivot axis between its closed and open positions includes a pivot arm pivotally supported about an axis parallel and adjacent to the pivot axis of the pivotable member. A free end of the pivot arm has a mechanism attached thereto, which mechanism supports a member which is movable in a direction normal to a circular arc path taken by the free end of the pivot arm. A connector is attached to the movable member and is further connectable to the pivotable member. Upon movement of the pivot arm into correspondence with the pivotable member under action of a pivot arm actuator, the connector is connected to the pivotable member with the movable member positioned at a predetermined position by a positioning device. Once the pivot arm and pivotable member are connected by means of the connector, the positioning device permits the movable member to move in a direction normal to a circular arc path taken by the free end of the pivot arm, thereby allowing the pivot arm and pivotable member to be pivoted together despite misalignment of their pivot axes.</p> |
