Abstract
A hinge holding device for firmly holding a pair of enclosures in an open or closed state has a base frame sandwiched between the pair of enclosures and supporting the pair of enclosures in an open or closed state, and a suction mechanism having a load generator disposed within at least one of the pair of enclosures. The suction mechanism generates a non-linear load between the base frame and one of the enclosures to maintain the open and closed state of one of the enclosures with respect to the base frame.
