| | Cover opening and closing mechanism patent invention (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | The cover body stays in the closed position by locking a striker on a side of the cover body with latch means on a side of the main body in the closed position. |
 | | However, in this mechanism, when the cover switches from the open position to the closed position, it is necessary to move the cover body toward the closed position while pushing against the force of the forcing means with a hand, finger, or the like, thereby lacking high quality. |
 | | Also, the cover body is always forced toward the closed position, so that there is no risk such as being switched unexpectedly from the closed position to the open position by malfunction of the latch means and the safety being impaired as in a conventional mechanism. |
