Abstract
An apparatus for opening and closing lids of sockets has a carrier plate controllably movable horizontally in a specified direction and a roller disposed transversely thereabove. A board carrying rows of sockets thereon is set on the carrier plate so as to be moved perpendicularly to the direction of the rows. Plungers can be lowered so as to selectably press down lugs on the lids of these sockets so as to release engaged latches of these sockets or another kind of lugs for completely closing and latching them. The lids are biased so as to normally remain in open position unless they are latched. As the carrier plate moves the board under the roller, the lids in open position come into contact therewith and are nearly completely closed. The plungers are so positioned as to be directly above the lugs for closing the lids and latching them when the roller brings these lids into the nearly completely closed position.
