The magnetic-field structure of five flares observed by Hinotori spacecraft is studied. The double-source structure of impulsive flares seems to indicate hard X-ray emission from the two footpoints of a flaring loop, but the potential-field computation does not reproduce a loop connecting the two sources. Therefore the magnetic field could be in a sheared configuration and the force-free field modeling would be the next step to examine. On the other hand gradual flares are characterized by hard X-ray sources located in the corona, 20,000-40,000 km above the photosphere. The potential-field modeling is found to give a reasonable fitting in this type of flare, and the hard X-ray sources are located at the top of the magnetic loop or arcade. This configuration is consistent with the thick-target trap model of the hard X-ray bursts.
