A hinge device for a console box includes a body arm 21 fixed to a console body; a shaft on the body arm; a lid arm attached to a console lid and pivotally supported on the shaft; and elastic members windingly provided on the shaft and one end of which is fixed to the body arm and the other end is fixed to the lid arm. The lid arm is pivotally supported on the shaft so as to be turned around from which the console lid closes the console body so that the console body is openable. The elastic members consist of a first torsion coil spring that urges the lid arm in a closed state in the opening direction and a second torsion coil spring that urges the turned-around lid arm in the closing direction. Thereby, the console lid that closes the console body is urged in the opening direction and also the turned-around console lid is urged in the closing direction without remarkably decreasing the service life of the hinge device.
