Then, the example of order for the multi-directional inputting device 100 of assembling said structure describes.
At first, from opening of the framework 1 that installed and fixed substrate 3a, 3a ' lower side insert first driver part 2 of arched door shape, the 2c of its operation of components portion is inserted the circular hole 1g ' of sidewall 1c, and make the 2c of operation of components portion be sticked in the rotor 3b that is inserted in circular hole 1g ' in the same manner.In addition, the support portion 2b of first driver part 2 also is inserted in the circular hole 1g of side plate 1d.Thus, first driver part 2 becomes the state that is erected at framework 1 inside.
Then, make the 4b of tube portion of operating axis 4 be positioned at the elongated slot 5c of second driver part 5.Under this state, if by there not being illustrated anchor clamps etc. that operating axis 4 is pressed on elongated slot 5c, then sidewall 5b elastic deformation and be pressed the expansion laterally, the holding section 5d that the axle 4c of branch of convex, 4c button are sticked in the concavity that forms at sidewall 5b, operating axis 4 is supported in second driver part 5 by axle.
Then, make, and make knob 4a outstanding laterally from the handle hole 1f of framework 1 in slotting the leading to of knob 4a of the operating axis 4 of 5 supports of second driver part in the slit pore 2a of first driver part 2.Then, the first arm 5f of second driver part 5 is inserted in the circular hole 1g ' of the side plate 1a of framework 1, and makes the first arm 5f be sticked in the rotor 3b ' that is inserted into circular hole 1g ' in the same manner.In addition, also make the second arm 5g also be positioned at the support portion 1h of the side plate 1b of framework 1.Thus, second driver part 5 is in the state that is erected at framework 1 inside.
Then, the framework 1 of so having set up first and second driver part 2,5 in inside is inverted, the bottom that makes the framework of having opened 1 up.Then, will recover in the incorporating section 4d that spring 7 inserts the 4b of tube portion that is accommodated in the operating axis of being inverted 4.Afterwards, if the bottom 4f of operating axis 4 is inserted in the axis hole 6c of operating body 6, then the boss portion 6b of operating body 6 can be entrenched in the 4b of tube portion of operating axis 4 movably, and the boss portion 6b Elastic Contact of operating body 6 is in recovering spring 7 (with reference to figure 6).
And then, for the framework 1 of being inverted, the mode of the bottom of the framework of having opened with obturation 1, positioning reference according to the rules is inverted the base plate 8 of temporarily having fixed pushbutton switch 9 and is installed on parts installation portion 8.At this moment, the 9a of bar portion of pushbutton switch 9 be positioned at from the outstanding end relative position of support portion 1h to the second outstanding arm 5g of outside, and pushbutton switch 9 is fixedly remained in base plate 8 by the side plate of framework 1.Then, at last, if the illustrated a plurality of tongue piece that do not have in the formation such as side plate 1a, 1b of framework 1 is riveted, then base plate 8 is fixed in framework 1 by one, and under the effect of the application of force of recovering spring 7, operating body 6 Elastic Contact are in the inner bottom surface 8c of base plate 8, and as Fig. 1 and shown in Figure 4, operating axis 4 becomes upright neutral condition.Thus, finish the assembling of multi-directional inputting device 100.
Then, the action for the multi-directional inputting device 100 of said structure describes.
At first, when the knob 4a to operating axis 4 does not apply operating physical force zero load, shown in Fig. 1,4,7,8, under the effect of the elastic force of recovering spring 7, operating body 6 Elastic Contact are in the inner bottom surface 8c of base plate 8, the bottom surface of the plate-like of operating portion 6a becomes horizontality, and operating axis 4 becomes upright neutral condition.If make the slit pore 2a of the operating axis 4 of this neutral condition along first driver part 2, fascinate to arrow B shown in Figure 7-B direction, then second driver part 5 is that fulcrum rotates with the first and second arm 5f, 5g, the sliding contact on the inner bottom surface 8c of base plate 8 of the bottom surface of the base portion 6b of operating body 6 is moved, and just the part of the peripheral part of the bottom surface of base portion 6b is positioned on the inner bottom surface 8c of base plate 8, operating body 6 inclinations (operating body 6 is that the center swing is tilted with mounting portion 59).Under this state, operating body 6 overcomes the elastic force of recovering spring 7, and boss portion 6b is pressed in the incorporating section 4d of the 4b of tube portion of operating axis 4.In addition, second driver part 5 is rotated, then the turning feeler mechanism 3 that engages with the first arm 5f ' rotor 3b ' rotation, the resistance change of variohm.In addition, if remove the operating physical force that puts on operating axis 4, then under the effect of the elastic force of recovering spring 7, operating body 6 returns horizontality automatically, and operating axis 4 automatically restores to upright neutral condition.
On the other hand, if make the elongated slot 5c of operating axis 4 along second driver part 5, fascinate to arrow A shown in Figure 8-A direction, then first driver part 2 is that fulcrum rotates with support portion 2b and the 2c of operation of components portion.If first driver part 2 so rotates, the rotor 3b that then is installed on the turning feeler mechanism 3 of the side plate 1c operation of components 2c of portion engaging rotates the resistance change of variohm.In addition, the action of the operating body 6 of this moment because and make described operating axis 4 identical to the situation of arrow B-when the B direction is fascinated, so the omission explanation.
Then, the electric component that turning feeler mechanism 3,3 ' in addition is described is the operation of pushbutton switch 9.Arrow C direction pressing operation axle 4 at first, to the lower side.So second driver part 5 that combines with operating axis 4 applies to push on the 5d of holding section and increases the weight of, and is fulcrum with the first arm 5f, the second arm 5g moves to the lower side.So from the support portion 1h of the side plate 1b outstanding end knee-action of the second outstanding arm 5g laterally, the 9a of bar portion of pressing button switch 9 can carry out the opening of pushbutton switch 9.In addition, operating axis 4 to the pushing of arrow C direction, not only can when operating axis 4 is in neutral condition, carry out, can also when the resistance value that operating axis 4 is fascinated operate variohm, carry out.
