At this moment, although it is not shown, spheroid 510 is being to move and climb up the inclined-plane on the incline direction between x-, the y-along alms bowl shape slip slot part 501c, wind spring 509 thereby be compressed, and the elastic force by wind spring 509 on spheroid 510 has produced the reset force that returns initial position.At this moment, each contact 506a of armature contact 506 shifts to the incline direction between x-, the y-and contacts fixed contact 518b, 518d and gland template 519 respectively.Thus, fixed contact 518b, 518d and gland template 519 are connected, and carry out the switching manipulation of the incline direction between x-, the y-.The signal of this operation is sent to the outside by outer splicing ear 512b, 512d.
When from this state releasing during to the pushing of operation knob 502b, the elastic force by wind spring 509 makes spheroid 510 return initial position, and operation knob 502b also returns initial position simultaneously.
In addition, because identical, so omitted to explanation along other operation (x+, y+, x+ and y+) of x axle and y axle with above-mentioned action.
In addition, although do not form push-button switch in the present embodiment, other push-button switch can be set.In addition, although formed the actuator that is contained on first sliding part 502 with spheroid 310, actuator not only can be spherical, and it also can be the barred body of front end globulate.
In the above-described embodiments, obtained the effect identical with first, second embodiment.
In addition, in the present embodiment, used a wind spring 509, owing to can carry out multidirectional operation and reset, so can reduce component count and correspondingly reduce cost with a wind spring 509 as back-moving spring.In addition, owing to wind spring 509 is contained in the operation knob 502b, so can miniaturization also can improve the assembling performance.
In addition, because second sliding part, 503 usefulness square plates constitute, on the end face of first sliding part, so formed the fit that slidably cooperates, be that it is guided on a side of a pair of side portion relative with second sliding part, thus designs simplification and realized miniaturization and can improve and assemble performance.
