A hinge includes a fixing bracket (13) fixed on a body (10), a supporting bracket fixed (15) on the panel (11) and a hinge shaft (17) fixed to the fixing bracket (13) to rotatably support the supporting bracket (15). The hinge also includes an automatic pivot unit to cause the panel to be opened with respect to the body by a predetermined free rotation angle when a locking state between the panel and the body is removed. Further, the hinge includes a manual pivot unit to provide a frictional force between the supporting bracket and the hinge shaft. The frictional force restricts the supporting bracket from being automatically rotated by the automatic pivot unit and also fixes the panel, which is opened further from the predetermined free rotation angle, in a fixed position. The hinge includes a fixing pin connected to one end of the hinge shaft to restrict the hinge shaft, the supporting bracket, the automatic pivot unit and the manual pivot unit from being separated from each other. <IMAGE> |
