Incubator

An incubator comprising:

• an incubator hood provided with a nursing window affording access to an interior of the hood;
• a door adapted to close said window and swingable between open and closed positions relative to said hood;
• a pivot arrangement comprising a member on said door and a member on said hood cooperating with the member on said door to enable rotation of said door between said open and closed positions, said members defining a center of rotation of said door shiftable between a first position and a second position relative to said hood and biased toward said first position;
• a door-rotation restrictor between said door and said hood defining a critical angle of said door with said window between said open and closed positions such that when said door is between said critical angle and said closed position said door automatically tends to swing into said closed position and when said door is between said critical angle and said open position, said door automatically tends to swing into said open position,
• said door-rotation restrictor including means for restraining movement of said door between a rotation restricting angle less than said critical angle until said center of rotation is shifted into said second position and enabling movement of said door between said rotation restricting angle and said closed position with said center of rotation in said first position;
• and
• a door fixing device for securing said door in said closed position.
