In an assembled state of a hinge, the hinge is configured to be capable of adjusting a rotational position when holding a door or the like. The hinge includes a first member () and a second member () which are rotatable relative to each other. A first cam () is provided on the first member (), a second cam () is provided on the second member () so as to be non-rotatable and movable in an axial direction thereof, and the second cam () is biased to the first cam () by biasing means () in the axial direction. The first cam () and the second cam () are configured to hold the second cam () in a predetermined rotational position relative to the first cam () by biasing force of the biasing means (). In the assembled state of the hinge, it is possible to adjust the rotational position of the first cam () relative to the first member (). The holding force of the first member () to the first cam () is larger than the holding force of the first cam () to the second cam () in a circumferential direction thereof.

Hinge

Provided is a hinge which can be easily assembled. A shaft-side friction generation member is non-rotatably provided to the shaft member of a hinge, and a cylinder-side friction generation member is relatively rotatably provided to the shaft member of the hinge. The cylinder-side friction generation section of the cylinder-side friction generation member is accommodated within a first cylinder section. A connection protrusion protrudes radially outward from the cylinder-side friction generation section. The connection protrusion protrudes further radially outward than the first cylinder section and is affixed to a mounting section.

Provided is a stay which is capable of stabilizing movement of a component part used for transmitting, or not transmitting, the torque of one of a first member and a second member to the other. When a second member rotates relative to a first member in one direction, a cam base moves away from a disk in the direction of the rotation axis, and the second member and the cam base rotate relative to the first member and the disk. When the second member rotates relative to the first member in the opposite direction, the cam base moves towards the disk in the direction of the rotation axis, and the second member, the cam base and disk rotate relative to the first member with resistance force.

Stay

One end portion of a connecting memberis connected to a first housingsuch that the connecting memberis rotatable about a first rotation axis Lfixed in position with respect to the first housing. The other end portion of the connecting memberis connected to a second housingsuch that the connecting memberis rotatable about a second rotation axis Lfixed in position with respect to the second housingand extending parallel to the first rotation axis L. The first housingand the second housingare located in different locations in a direction of the first and the second rotation axes L, Lsuch that a top surfaceof the first housingand an undersurfaceof the second housingare located generally on a same plane.
