<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a small hinge that obtains secure and stable rotation torque when an opening/closing member K is opened, and prevents a support member 3 and a hinge body 1 from being damaged or broken. <P>SOLUTION: The hinge is constituted so that the support member is freely rotatably attached, via a rotation shaft, to the hinge body attached to an apparatus body such as a copying machine. An elastic body is accommodated in a slider disposed freely slidably in the hinge body, the cam face of the slider is abutted on the rotating cam part of the support member, and the support member is turned by the elastic body so as to open the opening/closing member attached to the support member, wherein the support member is provided with an elastic frictional part so formed as to be elastically bent, and when the opening/closing member is opened by rotating the support member, the elastic frictional part is elastically abutted on the contact part of the hinge body. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
