STORAGE BIN LID OR COVER CLOSING AND OPENING MECHANISM ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Lids or covers for relatively small storage bind conventionally are hinged by one side thereof to the rim of the opening and are open and closed by remote linkage and/or cables extending from the lids to a convenient location. When larger lids are used on relatively large storage bins, not only are they relatively heavy and thus difficult to actuate but often high winds will either make closing and opening more difficult but also there is always the possibility that severe structural damage can occur to the hinge mechanism. The present device includ- es linkage extending between the underside of the lid toward the front or leading side thereof and hinge to the collar in diametrically opposite locations. An off-set lever extends upwardly and rearwardly at an angle from the upper side of the lid adjacent the trailing side of the lid and a cable extends therefrom to a location adja- cent the ground. This gives good leverage to open the lid which slides backwardly and then downwardly at angle over the trailing side of the rim and is thus shielded to a great extend from wind action. Springs or the like return the lid to the closed position and maintain same closed when the tension on the cable is released.
