ABSTRACT:
A panel opening and closing apparatus comprises a panel part having a rotating axis protruding from a lower part of both sides of the panel part to be opened and closed by rotating the panel part and connected by the rotating axis at a lower part of both sides of a main body. An elastic pressing part is installed in an inner side of the main body to press against the panel part toward an outside of the main body by a force of restoration. A locking part is installed in the inside of the main body and prevents the panel part from being rotated and opened by using the elastic pressing part because of grasping the panel part. A damping part comprises a force converting member for changing a rotary movement of the panel part to a rectilinear movement to be rotated by the panel part at low speed, a sliding member slid toward one of the forward and backward directions of the main body according to the movement of the force converting member, and a damping member in contact with the bottom face of the sliding member for reducing the sliding speed.
