Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/117236
Kind Code:

Abstract:
The present invention makes it possible to reliably perform an opening operation or a closing operation without using a cam and a member to slide the cam. A hinge comprises: a body-side member fixed to a casing; a door-side member fixed to a door; a link mechanism that couples the body-side member and the door-side member; and a catch mechanism that is provided by being interposed between the link mechanisms, between the body-side member and the link mechanism, or between the door-side member and the link mechanism and that biases the door-side member to the closing direction or the opening direction. The catch mechanism comprises a coil spring that is provided on one of two members connected so as to be able to mutually rotate via a shaft member, and a transmission arm that transmits the elastic restoration force of the coil spring to the other of the two members. The transmission arm is rotatably connected in a position that is separated from the shaft member on the other of the two members.
