PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily open/close a door panel by setting two rotary shafts at first and second holding parts by a hinge member, and to simplify the door panel fitting work. SOLUTION: A hinge member 1 is constituted by continuously providing a first base material 8A and a second base material 8B on the longitudinal cut line 4 of a cylindrical base part 2 obliquely at the angle θ (b). The cylindrical base part 2 forms a first holding part for holding the stay 42 of a side panel 41. A second holding part is constituted of an arc-shaped first holding groove 11 formed in the inner surface of the first base material 8A and a second holding groove 12 formed in the inner surface of the second base material 8B, and the second holding part holds a stay 52 of the door panel (d). Stopper pieces 15, 15 are projected from inner surfaces 9 of the first base material 8A and the second base material 8B. When the first base material 8A and the second base material 8B are arranged substantially parallel to each other (θ 0), a lock-receiving part 13 of the distance (L1+L2) is constituted above the stopper piece 15 and between the first base material 8A and the second base material 8B, allowing a locking pin of the door panel to be inserted therein.
