Support for holding a closing element
First Claim
1. A support for holding a closing element, especially a flap or lid, in a closed or open position relative to a container to be closed thereby, and the closing element which is optionally pivotable around the one or the other of two side edges extending parallel relative to one another, comprising:
- a first and a second arm, with one of the arms being connected to the container by a first pivot bearing and the other arm being connected to the closing element by a second pivot bearing and with the two arms being connected to one another by a third pivot bearing said pivot bearing on the first arm at the container and the pivot bearing of the second arm at the closing element each being articulated centrally between the two side edges at the container and the closing element respectively;
a pressure spring operational between said arms and said arms being supported relative to one another in a first arm position, which corresponds to the closed position, and in which the pivot bearings are close to one another, or in a second arm position, which corresponds to the open position, and in which the pivot bearings are positioned so as to be remote from one another, one end of the pressure spring is supported on the first arm and the other end at the second arm;
at the second arm, the pressure spring is supported eccentrically relative to the third pivot bearing connecting the two arms;
in the second position of the arms corresponding to the open position, the point of application of the pressure spring at the second arm is offset towards one side of the connecting line extending between the center of the first pivot bearing at the first arm and the third pivot bearing between the two arms and that in the closed first position it is offset towards the other side of the connecting line.

Abstract
A support for holding a closed element, such as a flap or lid in a closed or open position relative to a container has a first and second arm. One of the arms is connected to the container by a first pivot bearing and the other arm is connected to the closing element by a second pivot bearing. The two arms are connected to one another by a third pivot bearing and by a pressure spring operational between the arms. The two arms are supported relative to one another in a first arm position, which corresponds to the closed position, where the pivot bearings are close to one another, or in a second position, which corresponds to the open position, where the pivot bearings are positioned remote from one another.
