Abstract
A rotary damper includes a damper body having a cylindrical configuration and a rotor rotatably disposed in the damper body. The rotor is non-rotatably connected to an inner link so that the rotor is rotatable together with the inner link. Two teeth constituting a part of a gear are formed in an outer circumferential surface of the damper body. A tooth of a gear member rotatable together with an outer link is engaged with the teeth. By this arrangement, the damper body and the rotor can be rotated in opposite directions.
