Abstract
An opening/closing device for a lid adapted to openably cover an opening of, for example, a trunk of a motorcar does not substantially project into the trunk when the lid is closed. An elongated guide slot extends along a side edge of the opening. A first arm member has one end fixedly secured to the lid and the other end slidably fitted in the guide slot. A second arm member has one end pivotably mounted on the first arm member or on the lid and the other end pivotably mounted on the side edge of the opening. The first and second arm members are adapted to be folded into positions substantially parallel to each other when the lid is closed.
