摘要

A lid opener comprises a frame having a first axis and a second axis which extend substantially in parallel. A first member is integrally moveable with the lid for rotation about the first axis. A second member is in engagement with the first member and rotatable about the second axis. Means are provided for driving the second member for rotation in such a predetermined direction as to move the first member in such a direction as to open the lid, and are constructed and arranged as to allow movement of the first and second members during closing movement of the lid.
