ABSTRACT:
A single-shaft hinge component is provided that can be made durable, of small size and light weight. The single-shaft hinge device is made up of a plurality of torque-generating sections wherein, a single-shaft hinge is formed of a single shaft1, rotary cams3fitted onto this shaft1that are capable of rotation about the shaft1and axially moving on the shaft, fixed cams4fitted on the shaft1that are capable of axially moving on the shaft but incapable of relative rotation with respect to the shaft, and elastic members5arranged coaxially with the shaft1and that cause abutment of side faces of the rotary cam3and the fixed cam4against each other, the rotary cams3and fixed cams4being arranged coaxially with the single shaft1so that abutment of the rotary cam3and fixed cam4is achieved at their side faces at two or more locations.
