A hinge device (10) includes a first connecting member (1) having a receiving section (11). An axle member (3) is mounted in the receiving section (11) and includes an axle (32) located outside of the receiving section (11). A second connecting member (2) includes an axle receiving portion (21) having a pivotal compartment (22) that pivotably receives the axle (32). A fixing groove (23) is defined in an inner periphery of the pivotal compartment (22) and receives a magnetic member (4) having a magnetically attractive portion (41) located in the pivotal compartment (22). When the first connecting member (1) and the axle member (3) pivot, the axle (32) pivots between a first position adjacent to the magnetically attractive portion (41) and a second position away from the magnetically attractive portion (41). The axle (32) in the first position is attracted and positioned by the magnetically attractive portion (41).
