Abstract:
1. A device comprising: a receptacle structure, the receptacle structure coupled to a door, the receptacle structure having a top surface and an angled guiding surface, the top surface forming an angled protrusion, the receptacle structure having a receptacle, the receptacle formed between the top surface and the angled guiding surface; a latching rod; and a sliding assembly coupled to the latching rod; wherein upward movement of the sliding assembly causes the latching rod to move upwardly in said receptacle to contact the angled protrusion; wherein the contact of the latching rod with the angled protrusion of the receptacle structure causes the rod to push the receptacle structure and the door to a partially open position; wherein after the latching rod contacts the angled protrusion, the latching rod moves downwardly and slides along the angled guiding surface of the receptacle structure, thereby pushing the receptacle structure and the door to a further partially open position.
