ABSTRACT:
A stay mechanism for two hingedly connected members which are moveable between a first unengaged position and a second engaged position. An arm is hingedly attached at one end to a first member. The other end of the arm has a protrusion which is resiliently held in the pocket portion of a resilient strip attached to a second member, when the members are in the second position. A camming surface, facing the pocket of the resilient strip, defines, with the pocket, a resilient enclosure for the protrusion. The protrusion may be forced to slide out of the enclosure when the two members are moved towards the first position, by the resilient deformation and opening of the pocket. The resilient strip also has an inclined portion adjacent the pocket portion which serves as a guide for the protrusion into the pocket, when it is desired to move the members from the second position into the first position.
