A hinge device having a bearing member (11) and a shaft (25). The bearing member (11) has a sleeve section (18) having a through hole (16), in which the shaft (25) is inserted. The inner circumferential surface (47) of the sleeve section (18) contact the circumferential surface (48) of the shaft (25). The sleeve section (18) has slits (21) which extend parallel to the axis of the sleeve section (18). Ring springs (41) are mounted on the sleeve section (18). In their freed state, the springs (41) have an inside diameter smaller than the outside diameter of the shaft (25). The ring springs (41) tighten the sleeve section (18) onto the shaft (25), thus generating a frictional force between the sleeve section (18) and the shaft (25). |
