Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hinge mechanism which can be smoothly opened and closed by a simple structure. SOLUTION: A braking device 206 has braking units 206a of a nearly equal shape positioned with predetermined angle and interval, holding a braking shaft 202 of a double face device 98 therebetween. The braking unit 206a consists of an elastic body 210 which absorbs shocks due to the movement (in a black arrow direction) of the braking shaft 202 by elasticity, a gripping part 208 for gripping the elastic body 210, and a friction face 212 set at a surface of the elastic body 210 so as to brake the braking shaft 202 through contact with this. The braking units are arranged so that an interval of the two elastic bodies 210 becomes narrow in an advancement direction (black arrow direction) of the braking shaft 202 when the double face unit 98 rotates around a rotary shaft 200 in a white arrow direction and the braking shaft 202 moves in the black arrow direction. Accordingly, the braking shaft 202 is braked while the elastic bodies 210 are elastically deformed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
