A pair of brackets (14) having apertures (14A) are mounted on the inside surface (12C) of the flipper door. An axle (16) having two ends (16A) extends through the apertures Pinion gears (18) are mounted onto the two ends. A pair of U-shaped unitary members (30) which form a pair of racks (22) and a pair of guide ledges (26) are mounted on the inner surface (10I and 10J) of each sidewall. The pinion gears are provided with first teeth (18K) which rotatably engage the second teeth (22C) of the rack for allowing movement of the flipper door. The gears are also provided with second extensions (18D) which protrude into the U-shaped unitary piece just below the guide ledge to assist in stabilizing the flipper door during movement.
