Abstract
A door body holding structure that can hold a door body at an open position by using a simple configuration. A projecting portion, which projects toward a containing wallside, is provided on an outer surface of a bearing portionof a fixed-side hinge at a position facing the containing wallwhere the projecting portiondoes not come into contact with an inner surface of a guide portionwhen the door bodyis at a closed position but the projecting portioncomes into contact with the inner surface of the guide portionwhen the door bodyis at the open position. A separation dimension between a projecting end of the projecting portionand the containing wallis set to be smaller than a thickness dimension of the guide portion. That is, when the inner surface of the guide portionreaches the position at which it comes into contact with the projecting portionby pivoting movement of the door bodyfrom the closed position toward the open position, the guide portionis sandwiched and held between the projecting portionand the containing wall, thereby holding the door bodyat the open position.
