Abstract:
1. A retracting mechanism, comprising: a striker body provided in either one of a rotational body or a main body to which the rotational body is rotatably attached; a catcher provided on the other of the rotational body or the main body for capturing the striker body when the rotational body is rotated from an open position to a reference position; a braking device for applying a resistance force to a movement of a movable member; and a linkage device between the catcher and the braking device, wherein the catcher is provided so as to be reciprocatingly rotatable between a standby position and a rotated position for capturing the striker body at the standby position, and rotating forward to the rotated position, wherein due to the linkage device, the movable member comprising the braking device is moved farther in proportion to a rotation volume of the catcher, and wherein the linkage device comprises a linkage gear member including a small-diameter gear member connected to the catcher, and a large-diameter gear member connected to the movable member of the braking device and rotating together with the small-diameter gear member, the small-diameter gear member and the large-diameter gear member being coaxially arranged.
