LID OPENING/CLOSING DEVICE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To protect an opening/closing lid against damage which occurs when the lid is forcibly opened beyond a prescribed opening position limit. SOLUTION: A shaft 12 which serves as a pivot center when an opening/ closing lid 11 is opened or closed is held as pinched between a bearing 13 and a leaf spring 14. When the opening/closing lid 11 is forcibly opened beyond a prescribed opening position limit, the leaf spring 14 is deflected to relieve the shaft 12, and the opening/closing lid 11 is put in a detachable state, so that the opening/closing lid 11 and the bearing are protected against damage.
