Abstract
An opening and closing device in which a movable gear is movably disposed on a fixed plate, and a fixed gear engaged with the movable gear is secured to a right end of a spring member applying a force to a movable plate in a moving direction. This right end of the spring member is installed in an L-shaped guide hole and a left end of the spring member is attached to the movable plate. With this structure, the opening and closing device offers combined operations in an up-and-down direction and a right-and-left direction orthogonal to the up-and-down direction.
