Abstract
When a lid is situated at its fully closing position, a guide pin of a drive shoe is contacted with the front end of a guide groove formed in a guide member. From this state, as a drive shoe is driven and rotated forwardly, the guide pin is moved backwardly from the front end of the guide groove, so that the lid can be moved to the fully closing position, tilt-up position and flap position sequentially in this order.
