Abstract
A flipper door mechanism for allowing a door to be moved between a closed position and an open position comprising a door and a support having a first surface and a second surface. The door is opened and closed by a movement device which is attached to the door by an attachment device. The movement device comprises 1) a pivoting device to pivot the door between the closed position and the open position and vice versa; 2) an engagement device to engage the first surface of the support; and 3) a guide to engage the second surface so that when the door is pivoted between the closed position and the open position the engagement device and the guide translationally move along the support to a retracted position.
