  • Patent number: 10989988
    Abstract: Lid guide mechanism of this disclosure include lid body which slidingly moves between first position and second position which are adjacent to support base, and urging member. Support base includes attachment part to which first end part of urging member is attached, and locking part. Lid body includes first shaft part to which second end part of urging member is attached, and second shaft part which is provided at a position closer to attachment part than first shaft part and which is to be locked on locking part at first position. When lid body is moved, by external force, to third position more distant from second position than first position against urging force of urging member so that locking state between second shaft part and locking part is released and when external force is then released, lid body is moved to second position by urging force of urging member.
