ABSTRACT:
A closing mechanism 30 for a cabinet cover 14 is described including a pair of elongated flat links 32, 34 joined for sliding pivotal engagement. The remaining end of a first link 34 is pivotally secured to the enclosure cover 14 and the remaining end of the second link 32 is pivotally secured to the cabinet base 12. The links, when in their aligned position, are selectively locked in position by a cooperating notch 44 and tab 56. An articulated biasing means 59 in the form of two articulated coil springs 60, 62 serves to bias the links 32, 34 toward their axially aligned positions thus urging the cover 14 to its open position. The coil springs 60, 62 are hooked together with the remaining end of the second coil spring 62 hooked to a lip 20 on the cabinet base 12 adjacent the cover hinge 16. The remaining end of the first coil spring 60 is hooked to the link 32.
