More Information
Summary:A closeable device having first housing ( 110 ) coupled to a second housing ( 120 ) such that the first housing is planarly rotatable relative to the second housing. The closeable device, includes a compression spring ( 134 ), extending radially from an axis of rotation ( 128 ). The axis of rotation is perpendicular to a face ( 104 ) of the device which extends in a first plane. A cam ( 122 ) coupled to the second housing rotates about the axis of rotation. A follower ( 102 ) coupled between the cam and the compression spring causes the first housing portion to planarly rotate relative to the second housing portion. The compression spring compresses along a compression axis perpendicular to the axis of rotation and within the first plane.
