A rotor and a seat mounted on a first shell is disposed between an annular
first shell and an annular second shell both constituting a damper case,
thereby forming a rotary damper device. A damper lever on which the rotor
is mounted is hooked on a fixing pin fixed to a body. Viscous fluid such
as highly viscous oil is charged into a damper chamber formed between the
rotor and the seat, and a viscous resistance is applied to the rotor and
the seat. In a state in which a rotation center of the rotary damper
device is deviated from a rotation center of the shaft which is rotated
by the operating lever, the damper case is fixed to a flange portion of
the shaft, the rotor and the seat are allowed to rotate relatively to
each other by an inclining operation of the operating lever, and a
resistance force from the rotary damper device is applied to the
operating lever.
