Abstract:
1. A door operating mechanism, comprising: a door having a support arm projecting from the door, said support arm having a sector gear, and a rotary gear disposed substantially in a center of the sector gear, a base for rotatably supporting the door to open between a closed position and an open position, said base including a first gear having internal teeth disposed to engage said sector gear, a gear cover attached to the base and having an opening therein, and a movable part including a body via a shaft situated in the opening to be slidable relative to the gear cover, a second gear fixed to the body, and a resilient section attached to the body to resiliently and displaceably hold the body relative to the gear cover, said second gear engaging said rotary gear so that when a load is applied to the door in the closed position towards a bottom of the base, the load applied to the rotary gear and second gear is absorbed by resilient displacement of said body holding the second gear.
