Two-axis hinge device with rotation regulating function
A two-axis hinge device with rotation regulating function including the rotation regulating function capable of wiring by passing a harness through a through hole of an axis member, simple in structure, and low in cost is provided. A folding axis [5] rotatably supporting one case and a rotational axis rotatably supporting the other case are set to intersect each other, a rotation allowing portion is formed by recessing an outer circumferential side surface of a rotational operation range restricting head portion rotatably supported by a base frame [1] and arranged on an end of the folding axis [5], a rotational operation range restricting deformed head portion arranged on an end of the rotational axis so as to face the rotational operation range restricting head portion, a restricting structure portion is formed at the deformed head portion so as to restrain rotation of the folding axis [5] by abutting the outer circumferential side surface of the rotation allowing portion on an end surface and so as to restrain rotation of the rotational axis when the outer circumferential side surface abuts on the end surface of the restricting head portion, and the rotation of the rotational axis is restricted to correspond to an opening or closing angle of the folding axis [5].
