Abstract
A torque adjustment function-provided rotary damper capable of easily adjusting a torque without needing to use a tool, even in a case where a space cannot be secured on an end portion side of a casing. An adjustment lever is an operation member having an engagement portion and a knob portion. The engagement portion links with an adjuster by engaging with an adjustment end portion such that a cutout fits to a fitting portion. The knob portion is formed integrally with the engagement portion by protruding radially from an outer periphery side of a the casing. The knob portion extends to a guide portion along an axial direction of the casing in its outer periphery. The guide portion has a semi-ring shape which is partially cut out. The guide portion is rotatably disposed along an outer periphery of a shaft side cap that closes an end portion of the casing.
