Abstract: In a lid assembly structure 1 which includes a base member 2, a lid 3, and an opening/closing mechanism 5 and in which the opening/closing mechanism 5 includes a biasing member 8, during assembling of the base member 2 and the opening/closing mechanism 5, the biasing member 8 is guided by a guide portion 90 which is a part of the opening/closing mechanism 5, and a state of the biasing member 8 is changed from a temporary assembled state where a second engagement end 82 of the biasing member 8 and a temporary engagement portion 93 engage with each other to a main assembled state where the second engagement end 82 and a main engagement portion 91 of a mating member engage with each other, thereby accumulating at least a part of a biasing force in the biasing member 8.

Abstract: A lid opening/closing device includes a lid box, a lid, and an opening/closing mechanism. The opening/closing mechanism includes, as a link interposed between the lid box and the lid, a main arm rotatably supported on the lid box at one main arm end portion thereof and an auxiliary arm configured to restrict a posture of the lid during opening/closing of the lid so as to keep the lid in a predetermined posture by rotating in conjunction with rotation of the main arm. The main arm includes an arm-side restriction portion configured to come into contact with a back surface side of the lid at an opened position of the lid to restrict the main arm from rotating to an open side. An axial length of the arm-side restriction portion is longer than an axial length of the one main arm end portion.
