Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent deterioration and fatigue in a spring by providing an auxiliary spring to support an open/close cover energized in an open direction with the spring fitted to a hinge part to be in the open state so as to lock the open/close cover with a simple mechanism. CONSTITUTION:When an open lever at a lower part of a front edge of a base cabinet 2 is pressed, an open/close cover 4 is unlocked with a lock machine screw 40 and a lock spring 41 provided in the vicinity of a hinge spring 23. Thus, the upper part of the cover 4 is open around a support shaft 36 through the energized spring 23 to push up a front edge 37b of the support bracket 37 and the machine screw 40 is moved upward between a couple of arms 41b of the lock spring 41. Furthermore, when the cover 4 is raised manually, a tip 40a of the machine screw 40 moves upward a narrowest part of the arm 41b against the elasticity and engages with the tip 41c and is locked thereat. Thus, most of the weight of the cover 4 is supported by the spring 41 and deterioration and fatigue of the spring 23 are prevented with the simple device.

Next, the operation will be described. In the present invention,
Since the lock screw 40 and the lock spring 41 are provided near the hinge spring 23, when the release lever provided at the lower front end of the base cabinet 2 is pushed, the opening / closing cover 4 is unlocked, and the hinge spring 23 is released.
The front edge 37b of the support bracket 37 is pushed up by the urging of the support bracket 37 and is opened upward around the support shaft 36.
The lock screw 40 moves upward between the pair of arm portions 41b of the lock spring 41. When the open / close cover 4 is further raised manually, the tip portion 40 of the lock screw 40 is
As shown in FIG. 5 (b), “a” spreads the narrowest part of the arm portion 41b against the elastic force and moves upward, and when the hand is released, FIG.
As shown in (a), the tip portion 41c is engaged and locked, and the load of the opening / closing cover 4 is supported by the lock spring 41 and the hinge spring 23 in cooperation with each other. At this time, most of the load is supported by the lock spring 41, so that the load of the opening / closing cover 4 is hardly applied to the hinge spring 23.
