That is, the two brake members 18 are arranged so as to sandwich the first lever 15 in the thickness direction of the first lever 15 formed in a flat plate shape. Specifically, the two contact portions 18b are arranged so as to sandwich the lower lever portion 15b in the left-right direction. The contact portion 18b is arranged such that the thickness direction of the contact portion 18b and the left-right direction substantially coincide with each other. In the brake member 18 arranged on the right side, the supported portion 18a extends from the upper end of the contact portion 18b toward the right side. In the brake member 18 arranged on the left side, the supported portion 18a extends from the upper end of the contact portion 18b toward the left side.

  The brake member 18 is arranged below the compression coil spring 12. The supported portion 18 a is arranged below the washer 25 and above the support member 19. That is, the supported portion 18 a is arranged between the support member 19 and the washer 25 in the vertical direction. The supported portion 18a is supported by the support member 19 from below. The supported portion 18a is biased by the compression coil spring 12 from above. Specifically, the supported portion 18 a is biased by the compression coil spring 12 from above via the washer 25.

  The support member 19 is formed by bending a metal plate such as a steel plate into a predetermined shape. Both ends in the left-right direction of the support member 19 are supported from below by a support portion 5e formed on the side surface portion 5a. The support portion 5e is formed in a flat plate shape. The support portion 5e rises inward in the left-right direction from the two side surface portions 5a. The support portion 5e is arranged such that the thickness direction of the support portion 5e and the front-rear direction coincide with each other. The support member 19 supports the two brake members 18 from the lower side. Further, the support member 19 supports the compression coil spring 12 from below via the brake member 18 and the washer 25.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the support member 19 is formed with a through hole 19a into which the two contact portions 18b and the lower lever portion 15b are inserted. The through hole 19a penetrates the support member 19 in the vertical direction. The through hole 19a is formed in a rectangular shape. As shown in FIG. 10, on the upper surface of the support member 19, the boundary between the supported portion 18a and the contact portion 18b is in contact with the edge of the through hole 19a in the left-right direction.

  The compression coil spring 12 is arranged below the rotation center shaft 7, the swing shaft 10, and the second swing shaft 11. As described above, the lower end of the compression coil spring 12 is in contact with the upper surface of the washer 25. The compression coil spring 12 is supported from below by the support portion 5e of the first hinge member 5 via the washer 25, the supported portion 18a, and the support member 19. Further, as described above, the upper end of the compression coil spring 12 is in contact with the lower surface of the flange portion 26 a of the guide member 26. The compression coil spring 12 biases the first lever 15 upward with respect to the first hinge member 5 via the collar portion 26a and the washer 24.

  The upper end of the first lever 15 is in contact with the brake member 23 with a predetermined contact pressure. Further, the first lever 15 moves the swing shaft 10 to one side in the rotation direction of the second hinge member 6 about the rotation center shaft 7 via the brake member 23 by the urging force of the compression coil spring 12. I am biased. That is, the compression coil spring 12 biases the swing shaft 10 fixed to the second hinge member 6 toward one side in the rotation direction of the second hinge member 6 about the rotation center shaft 7. That is, the compression coil spring 12 biases the second hinge member 6 toward one side in the rotation direction of the second hinge member 6 about the rotation center shaft 7.

  Specifically, the compression coil spring 12 biases the swing shaft 10 in the direction in which the second hinge member 6 moves from the closed position 6B to the open position 6A. In the present embodiment, when the second hinge member 6 is in the closed position 6B, the swing shaft 10 is arranged slightly forward of the position directly below the rotation center shaft 7, and thus, strictly speaking, the swing shaft 10 does not swing. When the shaft 10 is located on the front side of the center of rotation 7 directly below, the compression coil spring 12 biases the second hinge member 6 in the direction in which the second hinge member 6 moves toward the closed position 6B.

  As described above, when the second hinge member 6 rotates with respect to the first hinge member 5, the swing shaft 10 moves in the vertical direction, so that the first lever 15 also moves in the vertical direction. Therefore, the biasing force of the compression coil spring 12 that biases the swing shaft 10 changes when the second hinge member 6 rotates with respect to the first hinge member 5. The biasing force of the compression coil spring 12 that biases the swing shaft 10 becomes maximum when the swing shaft 10 is arranged directly below the rotation center shaft 7.

  As described above, the supported portion 18a of the brake member 18 is supported by the support member 19 from below and is biased by the compression coil spring 12 from above.

The boundary with 18b is in contact. In this embodiment, the urging force of the compression coil spring 12 causes the brake member 18 to rotate about the boundary between the supported portion 18a and the contact portion 18b as a fulcrum, so that the contact portion 18b moves toward the lower lever portion 15b of the first lever 15. (See FIG. 10B).

  The contact pressure of the contact portion 18b with respect to the lower lever portion 15b of the first lever 15 varies according to the biasing force of the compression coil spring 12. Specifically, when the first lever 15 descends and the biasing force of the compression coil spring 12 increases, the contact pressure of the contact portion 18b with respect to the lower lever portion 15b increases. When the contact portion 18b comes into contact with the lower lever portion 15b, the braking force acts on the first lever 15, so that the braking force acts on the second hinge member 6 that rotates toward the closed position 6B. In the present embodiment, as described above, the upper end of the first lever 15 is in contact with the brake member 23 with a predetermined contact pressure, so that the brake force also acts on the second hinge member 6 by the action of the brake member 23. To do.

  In the present embodiment, in the range where the total force of the braking force of the second hinge member 6 by the action of the brake members 18 and 23 and the urging force of the second hinge member 6 by the compression coil spring 12 is larger than the gravity acting on the lid 4, The second hinge member 6 stops with respect to the first hinge member 5 even when the user who opens and closes the lid 4 of the storage case 2 releases the hand from the lid 4. That is, even if the user who opens and closes the storage case 2 releases the lid 4, the lid 4 is stopped. For example, in the range in which the second hinge member 6 is rotated 30 ° from the open position 6A to the closed position 6B, even if the user who performs the opening / closing operation of the lid 4 releases the lid 4, the lid 4 stops. To do.

  In the present embodiment, the vertical movement amount of the swing shaft 10 immediately after the second hinge member 6 starts rotating from the open position 6A to the closed position 6B is relatively large, and thus the second hinge member 6 is provided. The amount of vertical movement of the first lever 15 is relatively large immediately after starting rotation from the open position 6A to the closed position 6B. Therefore, a relatively large biasing force of the compression coil spring 12 can be applied to the supported portion 18a of the brake member 18 immediately after the second hinge member 6 starts rotating from the open position 6A to the closed position 6B. As a result, the braking force of the second hinge member 6 due to the action of the brake member 18 is easily generated immediately after the second hinge member 6 starts rotating from the open position 6A toward the closed position 6B.
