TILT MECHANISM AND TERMINAL

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tilt mechanism and terminal capable of reducing operational force required for an operator to rotate a rotary member, and also suppressing possibility that the rotary member rotates at excessively high speed.SOLUTION: A tilt mechanism is configured to get a rotatable rotary member still at any inclination within a predetermined range with a horizontal rotational axis as a reference, and includes: a damper spring 142 configured to energize the rotary member with torque due to such elastic force as to cancel torque due to a deadweight of the rotary member occurring according to inclination of the rotary member; and a torque limiter 128 configured to buffer the difference between the torque due to the deadweight and torque due to the elastic force to regulate rotary operation of the rotary member.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8 【課題】オペレータが回転部材を回転させるために要する操作力を低減させつつ、回転部材が速く回転しすぎてしまう可能性を抑制するチルト機構および端末を提供する。【解決手段】水平方向の回転軸を基準として回転可能な回転部材を所定の範囲内において任意となる傾きで静止させるチルト機構において、回転部材の傾きに応じて生じる回転部材の自重によるトルクを打ち消すような弾性力によるトルクで回転部材を付勢するダンパースプリング１４２と、自重によるトルクと弾性力によるトルクとの差分を緩衝することにより回転部材の回転動作を規制するトルクリミッタ１２８と、を備える。【選択図】図８
