Abstract:
1. A closing device for a flap on an incubator hood, the closing device comprising: a first closing element arranged at the flap; a second closing element arranged at the incubator hood, said second closing element comprising a roller mounted on an axle with a clearance in the range of a few mm in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the axle extends and spring means for biasing said axle in a direction perpendicular to the direction the axle extends, wherein said first closing element and said second closing element are in functional connection with one another, with said first closing surface having an outer surface so said first closing element and said second closing element can be transferred into an opened position upon said roller acting on said outer surface and with said first closing element having an inner surface receiving said roller to assume a closed position in which the roller extends behind said first closing element, and wherein said second closing element is pre-stressed by said spring means such that the two closing elements can be brought from said opened position into a closed position to set the position of the flap or conversely can be brought from said closed position into said opened position with a pulling force on the flap and/or a force on the roller sufficient to overcome the restoring force of the spring.
