ABSTRACT:
A movable member6is connected to a first hinge member2such that the movable member6is unable to turn but able to move in the axial direction. A hammer member7is non-turnably connected to a second hinge member3.The movable member6is caused to abutted against the hammer member7by a coiled spring (not shown). A force conversion mechanism (not shown) is disposed between contact surfaces of the movable member6and hammer member7and adapted to convert a biasing force of the coiled spring to a force for turning the hammer member7.An abutment projection32is formed on an outer periphery of the second hinge member3.An abutment recess71into which the abutment projection32is fitted is formed in an outer periphery of the hammer member71.A width2of the abutment recess71is set slightly larger than a width W1of the abutment projection32so that the hammer member7can be turned relative to the second hinge member3to that extent.
