Publication number: 20120085036Abstract: A rotating mechanism includes a biasing device (4) and a damper device. When a movable body (2) is changed over from a first position to a second position and from the second position to the first position of a main body (1), the rotating mechanism operates to rotate the movable body (2) against a biasing force of the biasing device (4) up to midway of a changeover operation thereof, rotates the movable body (2) by the biasing force of the biasing device (4) after the midway, and brakes the movable body (2) by the damper device in a predetermined interval in which the movable body (2) is rotated by the biasing force. The movable body (2) includes an arm (21) integrally rotated. The damper device is a piston damper (3) which is rotatably and pivotally supported on the main body (1), connected directly or indirectly relative to the arm (21), and provided so that an extending/retracting direction thereof is changed over on the midway of the changeover operation of the movable body (2).Type: ApplicationFiled: April 23, 2009Publication date: April 12, 2012Applicant: Nifco Inc.Inventors: Ryuhei Nishida, Atsushi Doi
