ABSTRACT:
A tilt hinge connecting a first member which constitutes a keyboard base and a second member which constitutes a display device of a small-sized office automation equipment, in which the first member and the second member are opened and closed with respect to each other. The tilt hinge is composed of: a holder attached to either of the first member or the second member; a shaft which is attached to either the other one of the first member and the second member while also attached to the holder so as to be rotatable with respect thereto and to be non-movable in an axial direction; a plurality of first friction disks inserting the shaft rotatably and movably in the axial direction through an insertion hole of each disk and held by the holder; a plurality of second friction disks inserting similarly the shaft through an insertion hole of each disk, being interposed between the first friction disks, restrained its rotation by the shaft and movably in the axial direction; and an elastic means attached to the shaft to cause the first friction disks and the second friction disks to press-contact each other in the axial direction.
