ABSTRACT:
A lid assembly for an outlet unit built into an article having a work surface, the power and communication outlet is positioned below an opening or cut-out in the work surface, the opening has an inner side that extends about the opening. The lid assembly has a lid structure that has a pair of lid support members that are joined to the lid at a corresponding side of the lid. The lid assembly further includes a pair of pivot support members that are configured to be joined to the inner side of the opening in the article. Each pivot support member has an inner side and a pivot pin member joined to the inner side. The lid structure is attached to the pivot pin members and pivotal between a closed portion and an opened portion. The lid structure pivots in a first direction to attain the closed position and in an opposite, second direction to attain an opened position. At least one stop member is joined to a corresponding pivot support member to prevent the lid structure from pivoting beyond a first predetermined distance. The lid structure rests upon the stop member when the lid structure is in the closed position. At least one interfering member is joined to one of the pivot support members so as to prevent the lid structure from pivoting in the second direction for a distance that is greater than a second predetermined distance.
