1. A lid opening device, comprising:a main body having an opening, a lid body for opening and closing the opening of the main body, a pivotal support part integrally formed on one end of the lid body and pivotally supported on the main body, an engaging member provided on a perimeter of the pivotal support part of the lid body, spring means attached to the main body for urging the engaging member of the lid body toward an opening direction thereof, said spring means having a spring supported on the main body, and a swivel arm provided on the main body to swivel freely and urged by the spring, said swivel arm having one end contacting the engaging member of the lid body and being urged by the spring toward the opening direction of the lid, locking means formed between the lid body and the main body for holding the lid body in a closed position against an urging force of the spring means, and engaging range restricting means formed on the main body for restricting a range of engagement between the spring means and the engaging member of the pivotal support part so that the lid body is opened by the urging force of the spring means to a predetermined initial opening position. 2. A lid opening device, comprising:a main body having an opening, a lid body for opening and closing the opening of the main body, a pivotal support part integrally formed on one end of the lid body and pivotally supported on the main body, an engaging member provided on a perimeter of the pivotal support part of the lid body, spring means attached to the main body for urging the engaging member of the lid body toward an opening direction thereof, locking means formed between the lid body and the main body for holding the lid body in a closed position against an urging force of the spring means, engaging range restricting means formed on the main body for restricting a range of engagement between the spring means and the engaging member of the pivotal support part so that the lid body is opened by the urging force of the spring means to a predetermined initial opening position, and elastic engaging means disposed between the lid body and the main body for elastically engaging the lid body at a position where the lid body is opened to a predetermined opening position so that the lid body is held at the predetermined opening position beyond the predetermined initial opening position. 3. A lid opening device according to claim 2, wherein said elastic engaging means includes a ring-shaped part provided coaxially with the pivotal support part, one of concave and convex shaped parts provided on an inner perimeter surface of the ring-shaped part, and a spring engaging piece fixed to the main body for elastically engaging the one of the concave and convex shaped parts in a state in which the spring engaging piece is located inside the ring-shaped part.4. A lid opening device according to claim 3, further comprising a cam body attached to the main body and having arc-shaped pieces operating as the spring engaging piece, each of said arc-shaped pieces having elasticity and a projection engaging the one of the concave and convex shaped parts.5. A lid opening device according to claim 4, wherein said ring-shaped part projects outwardly from the lid body to have the pivotal support part therein, a part of the ring-shaped part forming the engaging member.6. A lid opening device, comprising:a main body having an opening, a lid body for opening and closing the opening of the main body, a pivotal support part integrally formed on one end of the lid body and pivotally supported on the main body, an engaging member provided on a perimeter of the pivotal support part of the lid body, spring means attached to the main body, said spring means contacting the engaging member of the lid body and pivotally urging the lid body toward an opening direction thereof, locking means formed between the lid body and the main body for holding the lid body in a closed position against an urging force of the spring means, and engaging range restricting means formed on the main body adjacent to the spring means for restricting a range of engagement between the spring means and the engaging member of the pivotal support part so that the lid body in a closed condition is opened by the urging force of the spring means to a predetermined initial opening position where the spring means is stopped by the engaging range restricting means while allowing a further movement of the lid body beyond the predetermined initial opening position. 7. A lid opening device according to claim 6, wherein said spring means comprises a spring supported on the main body, and a swivel arm provided on the main body to swivel freely and urged by the spring, said swivel arm having one end contacting the engaging member of the lid body and being urged by the spring means toward the opening direction of the lid.8. A lid opening device according to claim 7, further comprising elastic engaging means disposed between the lid body and the main body for elastically engaging the lid body at a position where the lid body is opened to a predetermined opening position so that the lid body is held at the predetermined opening position beyond the predetermined initial opening position.9. A lid opening device according to claim 8, wherein said elastic engaging means includes a ring-shaped part provided coaxially with the pivotal support part, one of concave and convex shaped parts provided on an inner perimeter surface of the ring-shaped part, and a spring engaging piece fixed to the main body for elastically engaging the one of the concave and convex shaped parts in a state in which the spring engaging piece is located inside the ring-shaped part.
