Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing a state in which the cover is opened from the case in one embodiment of the present invention.
The case 2 and the case 2 are those of an electronic device such as a mobile phone that is rotatably coupled via a cover hinge 3 and a case hinge 4. Cover hinge 3, Case hinge 4
2, a support 5 and a boss 6 are provided, respectively. The support 5 has a rib 11 engaged with the groove 12 of the cover hinge portion 3, and the boss 6 has a guide groove 9 formed by a case hinge. Engaging with the guide rib 10 of the part 4, the cover hinge part 3 and the support 5 rotate integrally. The support 5 and the boss 6 are connected to the cover 1 via a coil spring 8 and a screw 7.
3 by the spring elastic force of the coil spring 8 on the cover hinge part 3 of FIG.
It is pressed like a. 1 (A), (B),
As shown in (C) and (D), the support 5 is provided with a convex portion 5-1 and a convex portion 5-2 which are tapered by θ ° according to an arbitrary opening / closing angle α °. The concave portion 6-1, the concave portion 6-2, and the concave portion 6-3 are provided.

When the cover 1 and the case 2 come into close contact with each other and are completely closed, the positional relationship between the convex portion 5-1 of the support 5, the convex portion 5-2 and the concave portion 6-1 and the concave portion 6-2 of the boss 6 is illustrated. 1 (E)
The state is adjusted by the engagement position between the guide groove 9 and the guide rib 10 or the engagement position between the rib 11 and the groove 12. As a result, the support 5 and the boss 6 are pressed against each other by the spring elastic force of the coil spring 8, so that a force is exerted on the convex portion to slide into the concave portion. Since the force acts, the cover 1 and the case 2 are pressed against each other, and are locked without being easily opened.

1E, the convex portion of the support 5 and the concave portion of the boss 6 are most deeply engaged (the tip side of the convex portion and the bottom side of the concave portion are in contact with each other). However, only the oblique side of the convex portion and the oblique side of the concave portion are engaged. In this state, since the cover 1 and the case 2 are in contact with each other, the engagement between the convex portion and the concave portion cannot be further advanced, but the force in the direction of the arrow in FIG. A force for pressing the cover 1 and the case 2 to close the cover 1 constantly is exerted by the elastic force of the coil spring 8.

As described above, in the hinge structure of the foldable device according to the present invention, the boss and the projection provided on the support and the recess engage with each other slightly before the state where they are most deeply engaged. In this state, the respective tapers are engaged so as to be in contact with each other, and the recess is urged in a direction of deep engagement by a spring, so that the boss and the support are urged to rotate in a direction in which the case and the cover close. ing. Therefore, without using a lock mechanism or a magnet for the case and the cover, it is possible to fix the cover so that it does not easily rotate when the cover is closed and opened with respect to the case.
