A hinge for portable terminal that not only has both functions of allowing a second casing to open/close relative to a first casing and allowing the second casing to turn relative to the first casing in a direction right angle to the opening/closing direction, but also is capable of preventing external leakage of a lubricating oil and is formed to be as compact as possible. The hinge includes: a rotary hinge module; and an opening/closing hinge module wherein: the rotary hinge module has a fixed member attached to the first casing and a cylindrical rotary member attached to the fixed member with a turn thereof being controlled via a first cam mechanism; the opening/closing hinge module is provided in the cylindrical rotary member and has an opening/closing member which is rotatably mounted with a rotation thereof being controlled to be in a right angle direction to a direction of the turn of the rotary hinge module via a second cam mechanism and to which an end portion of the second casing is coupled; and the rotary hinge module operates from an instant when the opening/closing hinge module reaches a predetermined angle. |
