A movable member (not shown) non-turnably connected to a second hinge member is arranged on the turning axial line of first and second hinge members such that the movable member is turnable and movable in the direction of the turning axial line. The movable member is biased toward the first hinge member by a coiled spring (not shown). A confronting surface of the first hinge member with respect to the movable member is provided with a pair of raised wall surfaces11d,11dextending in the direction of the turning axial line and end face cams41arranged between the pair of raised wall parts11d,11d, respectively. A confronting surface of the movable member with respect to the first hinge member is provided with a pair of abutment arm parts42afor converting the biasing force of the coiled spring to a turn biasing force for turning the movable member by being press-contacted with the end face cam41. A recess11eis formed in a lower part of the raised wall surface11d. A side surface of a lower side of this recess11eis provided as a part of the end face cam41.
