Abstract

[Problem] To make it possible to miniaturize device structure. [Solution] A door opening / closing device (1) comprising: a housing (10); an actuator (20) that is housed in the housing (10); and an arm (30) that is housed in the housing (10) and driven by the actuator (20). In the door opening / closing device (1), the arm (30) protrudes from the housing (10) while bending, and thereby operates a door (500) in the opening direction. In addition, in the door opening / closing device (1), the arm (30) is housed in the housing (10) while extending in a straight line, and thereby operates the door (500) in the closing direction.
