Abstract:
1. An opening and closing device comprising: a cylindrical stationary unit having a stationary cam at one of an outer wall, inner wall, and an end of the stationary unit; a ring-shaped movable unit disposed so as to rotate in an opening direction or a closing direction with respect to the stationary unit, and having movable cam protruding on one of an inner wall and an outer wall of the movable unit; a spring for urging the movable cam toward the stationary cam; and a cylindrical reversing unit disposed movably along an axial direction, and having a reversing cam formed on its face confronting the movable cam, wherein when the reversing cam moves along a direction apart from the movable unit while the movable cam elastically urges against the reversing cam and the movable unit is urged along the closing direction by spring, the movable cam elastically urges against the stationary cam and the movable cam rotates along the opening direction so that the movable unit rotates along the opening direction, and after the movable cam elastically urges against the stationary cam and rotates along the opening direction, the movable cam elastically urges against the reversing cam and the movable cam rotates along the opening direction so that the movable unit rotates along the opening direction.
