A hinge device for an adjustment device of a vehicle has a left planet wheel (28) which is rotatable about an axle (26) of the left planet wheel, a right planet wheel (30) which is rotatable about an axle (27) of the right planet wheel, a left toothed quadrant (40) in mesh with the left planet wheel (28) and a right toothed quadrant (42) in mesh with the right planet wheel (30). The two toothed quadrants (40, 42) are substantially centric to a hinge axle (24) and are connected to the second joint part (22). An elastic mechanism (78) is allocated to at least one of the planet wheels or toothed quadrants, and elastically pretension the meshing therebetween and eliminate any play therebetween. A driving mechanism (32) is in a driving connection with at least one of the planet wheels.
