Abstract:
A closing device for a covering member of a device body, comprising:a rotary shaft having a flange part is provided with a rotation stopping means formed on an outer periphery on the flange, said rotation stopping means adapted to be inserted in an attaching hole of the covering member and engaged with the attaching hole;a guide plate rotatably mounted on said rotary shaft having a second rotation stopping means formed on an outer periphery of the guide plate, said second rotation stopping means adapted to be inserted in a device attaching hole of the device body and engaged with the device attaching hole;a first click plate fixed to said guide plate so as to be rotatable around said rotary shaft together with the guide plate;a second click plate in contact with the first click plate and attached to said rotary shaft so as to rotate with the rotary shaft and slidable in the axial direction of the rotary shaft; anda compression means compressedly arranged between the second click plate and said flange part in order to press toward said first click plate;wherein at least one notch or small hole is formed in said first click plate and projections are formed in said second click plate, so that when the rotary shaft is rotated, the projections are escaped from the at least one notch or small hole, and then the projections are abutted against the first click plate in a pressure manner for generating a friction torque.
