ABSTRACT:
To provide a tilt hinge capable of obtaining a great frictional torque despite of its small size and insuring a clip stop, the present invention comprises a bracket to be mounted on the body side of the equipment, a rotating shaft designed to be mounted to the end of an opening-closing body which is rotatably mounted on a bearing section of the bracket, a friction washer mounted between the large-diameter portion of the rotating shaft and the bearing section and/or on the other side face of the bearing section with the rotating shaft inserted into the central part, and an elastic means mounted with the rotating shaft inserted in the central part to press the friction washer against the large-diameter portion and/or the bearing section; and a click stop means is provided between the rotating shaft and the bracket. In this case, the elastic means may be a plurality of disk springs or spring washers; and the click stop means may be comprised of a cam plate rotating together with the rotating shaft, a ball provided on the bracket side, in contact with the cam plate, and an elastic means to press the ball against the cam plate side, or may be comprised of a cam plate having elasticity and rotating with the rotating shaft, and provided with a single or a plurality of recesses, small holes or cutouts, and a ball fixed on the bracket side, in contact with the cam plate, and intermittently entering the recess, small hole or cutout.
