WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/116965
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a hinge structure for assisting, by means of the spring force of a torsion coil spring, the opening operation of a lid, and addresses the problem of configuring the hinge structure so that the spring force is appropriately varied. A hinge structure is provided with: a lower member (1) mounted to a container (8); an upper member (2) mounted to a lid (9); a rotatable shaft (3) for connecting the lower member (1) and the upper member 2; and a link mechanism (4) for connecting the lower member (1) and the upper member (2) at a position different from the position of the rotatable shaft (3). The link mechanism (4) is provided with: a plurality of links (41), (41) connected so as to be rotatable relative to each other; and a torsion coil spring-type spring mechanism (42) configured so as to apply spring force to the upper member (1) in the direction in which the lid (9) opens.
