PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a premature wear of a hinge pintle to be brought into contact with a spring to regulate the turning position of an opening/closing member. SOLUTION: A hinge pintle is non-turnably connected to an opening/closing member 3. Two pintle parts 63, 63 are formed on the hinge pintle. Spring pieces 51, 51 non-turnably provided on an apparatus body are pressed against and brought into contact with the pintle parts 63, 63. The pintle parts 63, 63 are functioned as turn regulating parts to regulate the turning position of the opening/closing member 3. The pintle parts 63, 63 are arranged separate from each other, and a clearance to hold a lubricating oil such as grease is formed therebetween. |
