Support for holding closing element

PURPOSE: To manufacture a support of simple structure to be placed on a securely closed position, by which the closing and opening forces can be controlled accurately. CONSTITUTION: A support is used for holding a cover on the closed or open position for a container to be closed. The support is provided with a first arm 9 and a second arm 10, which are defined on pivot bearings to be fixed on the container and both arms are connected each other through a separate pivot bearing 13. A pressure spring 16 supporting the arms 9 and 10 on the positions to be close each other or to be remote each other is actuated between both anus 9 and 10, and the pressure bearing 16 is supported by the first arm 9 on one end 17. The pressure spring is disposed eccentrically to the pivot bearing 13 on the second arm 10 on the other end 18, and the working point of the pressure bearing 16 to the second arm 10 is shifted to one side from a connecting line 27 connecting the center of the pivot bearing of the first arm 9 with the third pivot bearing 13 between both arms 9 and 10 on the stretched positions of both arms 9 and 10 while being shifted to the other side from the connecting line 27 on the closed positions.
