Patent ID: 8136205

Claim:
A biaxial hinge device having mutually substantially perpendicular rotation axes for connecting a first case and a second case so as to be longitudinally and laterally openable comprising: a first rotation axis mechanism configured to form a first rotation axis by using a substantially cylindrically shaped first shaft member; a first arm portion configured to include a fixing portion fixed to a first case, and provided to the first shaft member of the first rotation axis mechanism; a second rotation axis mechanism configured to include a fixing portion fixed to a second case, and to form a second rotation axis substantially perpendicular to the first rotation axis by using a substantially cylindrically shaped second shaft member; a second arm portion configured to connect the first rotation axis mechanism to the second rotation axis mechanism such that the first rotation axis mechanism is rotatable around the second rotation axis of the second rotation axis mechanism; a first cam member configured to come into contact with the second arm portion to regulate the rotational position of the first arm portion; first biasing means for biasing the first cam member such that the first cam member comes into contact with the second arm portion; a second cam member configured to come into contact with the second arm portion to regulate the rotational position of the second arm portion; and second biasing means for biasing the second cam member such that the second cam member comes into contact with the second arm portion.
