Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a rotary damper which can prevent its self-sustaining function from lowering even though a self-sustaining mechanism is worn, and which can smoothly carry out rotation and which can reduce the number of part items so as to reduce the manufacturing cost. CONSTITUTION:A rotary damper is composed of a damper shaft 14, a self- sustaining collar 24 fitted on the outer periphery of the damper shaft 14 so as to rotate together with the damper shaft 14, a self-sustaining cap 32 fitted on the outer periphery of the self-sustaining collar 24 so as to rotate the self- sustaining collar 24. Self-sustaining protrusions 30, 30 or resilient locking pieces 36, 36 are formed at the outer periphery of the self-sustaining collar 24, and the self-sustaining cap 32 is made of synthetic resin and is formed therein with a groove 34. With this arrangement, a pair of the resilient locking pieces 36, 36 are formed at opposed positions. Alternatively, the self-sustaining protrusions 30, 30 are formed, having projecting parts which project toward the distal ends of the inner surfaces of the locking pieces 36, 36.

As described above, according to the present invention, in a mechanism that performs a self-supporting function, a locking shaft having a protrusion and utilizing elasticity, and a self-supporting protrusion that locks with the locking piece are provided with a damper shaft. Since it is formed to be a self-supporting collar that co-operates with, and the inclined portion is formed on one side of the self-supporting protrusion and the step portion is formed on the other side,
The toilet seat can be raised and lowered smoothly with a light force and the toilet seat with a heavy force.

Further, when the self-supporting projection and the projection of the locking piece are engaged and disengaged, the locking piece utilizes elasticity, so that the self-supporting projection and the projection are worn out no matter how many times they are used, resulting in a self-supporting function. Does not decrease.
