Abstract

A hinge, can be used for a stand of an electronic device, includes: a first hinge shaft that is provided in a rotation fulcrum of a rotary body and rotatably supports the rotary body from first rotational position to second rotational position; a second hinge shaft that is provided in parallel with the first hinge shaft; a coupling member that couples the first hinge shaft and the second hinge shaft together and is rotatably supported by the second hinge shaft; a stopper that is provided to the coupling member and regulates the second rotational position by abutting the rotary body; and a rotation restriction mechanism that restricts rotation of the coupling member until a load in a rotational direction, which is exerted on the coupling member with respect to the second hinge shaft as a center, exceeds a threshold load.
