ABSTRACT:
A door assembly that includes a door that is operable to alternatively expose and cover an opening in the bezel of a computer. The door assembly includes a carriage that slides up and down that pivotally couples to the door. Upon pressing against the lower portion of the door, the door pivots and the carriage and the door automatically slide down such that the door no longer covers the opening in the bezel. When an upward force is applied to the door, the door and the carriage move upward and into the closed position. As the door reaches the opening in the bezel, a spring forces the door against the bezel and into the closed position. The door is easily opened and closed and the door is out of the way when the door is in the open position.
