According to the previous example, the following scheme is proposed as an example of the above-described multi-directional wheel-in device: a button switch is assembled on a holder that can slide along the inner bottom surface of the outer casing, and the holder body is operated by ^ Q + The mode of movement is 'protected' and enables the directions orthogonal to each other in the outer casing (the χ direction and the y-direction are moved. - the slider is slid into the operating body') to rotate the operating body from the eve. The opening σ of the side is protruded, whereby the sliding operation and the pressing operation can be performed (for example, 'refer to the patent document 丨). In the above multi-directional input device, the substrate facing the slider is disposed in the outer casing, and Jin Jin is present. ★歹其姑ρ取。 The conductive pattern placed on the substrate and the slider on the sliding parts of the force, the disaster, the field + 'moon mover / month contact Driving the contact position of the conductive pattern corresponding to the sliding member according to the sliding direction may be edged by the surface and the I, thereby detecting the sliding direction and the sliding amount of the operating body by the 117624.doc. Bottom solid There is a wide surrounding pattern with the terminal portion, and the bottom surface of the holding body is provided with a lunar contact which is respectively derived from the movable contact and the fixed contact of the push button switch. Moreover, each sliding contact is respectively Differently surrounding the pattern sliding, therefore, when the operating body is pressed to bring the movable contact into contact with the fixed contact, the pair of surrounding patterns are electrically connected to each other via a pair of sliding contacts, thereby outputting the switch-on signal Further, when the operating body is slidably operated, the holding body is also slidably moved integrally therewith, and the pair of sliding contacts are slid over the respective surrounding patterns. [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-2 1789 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the above-described multi-directional input device, since the push button switch is slidably moved integrally with the operating body, the push button switch is used. The surrounding pattern is disposed on the inner bottom surface of the outer casing, but the surrounding pattern must be formed wide and flat, so the productivity is deteriorated, and the cost is increased. Moreover, when the flatness around the pattern is not charged In this case, it is difficult to make the total contact of the sliding contact of the push button switch contact, so that the conduction failure is likely to occur during the pressing operation, and the reliability is remarkably lowered. Furthermore, in addition to the surrounding pattern on the inner bottom surface of the outer casing, it is also discussed. A method of sliding a slider that is derived from a movable contact and a fixed contact of a push button switch with a slider made of a conductive material, and guiding the slider to the terminal portion via the slider, but this method requires a plurality of sliding Thus, the structure is complicated and the assemblability is also deteriorated. The present invention is directed to the provision of a multi-directional input device which is simple in construction and can be completed and constructed in view of the above prior art. [Technical means for solving the problem] In order to achieve the above object, the input device of the present invention comprises: an outer:,; the upper side has an opening; and a supporting member that is held in the outer casing - moves up and down; The operation body is slidably mounted on the support portion so that the portion exposed from the opening can be slid and the operation is performed; a mechanism that includes a second slider that is driven in a direction orthogonal to each other by the sliding of the operating body, and detects a sliding operation of the operating body via the sliders; and a button switch The lower side of the support member disposed in the outer casing is operated by the _off 1 member when the pressing operation of the operating body is performed. In the multi-directional input device configured in this manner, since the operating body is slidably mounted on the supporting member held in the outer casing, the sliding side can be used as the side (four) as the supporting member (four), Side _ the operating body: the ith slider and the second slider are driven, so that the sliding operation of the operating body can be detected based on the position information of each slider. Moreover, the support member can be moved up and down within the casing, and a push button switch is disposed below the support member so that when the push operation is performed, the switch member can be operated via the support member pressed by the operating body, so that the switch can be operated. The button is opened in the casing without sliding the button switch and the operating body integrally. Therefore, it is not necessary to form a wide flat pattern of high flatness on the surrounding path of the push button switch or to insert a plurality of 117624.doc 1323905) lunar movers, thereby making it easy to realize the spot j.« ^ simplification and reliability of the structure It is also easy to reduce costs. &
於上述構成中，於按㈣關之周圍，配置有使支承 復位至初始位置之彈性部件，並且該彈性部件在按下操作 時由支承部件壓料，可易於實現彈性支持支承部件之構 造，故較佳。於此情形時，只要適當選擇在滑動操作時幾 乎不弯曲而在按下操作時具有特定量弯曲之彈性部件，則 不會存在滑動操作時支承部件使按㈣關誤動作之危險， 因此’能夠抑可靠性’並且亦可料按下操作時之操作 :其次，該彈性部件由螺旋彈簧構成，並且在將該螺旋 弹簧配置在與支承部件之上表面對向之操作體的中央部之 滑動移動區域之外側時’即使於支承部件上任意位置對操 作體進行按下操作，亦可使對該支承部件之按下操作力之 大部分（過半數）作用於螺旋彈簣之内側，因此，支承部件 難以傾斜，故可進行穩定之按壓操作而較佳。In the above configuration, the elastic member for returning the support to the initial position is disposed around (4), and the elastic member is pressed by the support member during the pressing operation, so that the structure of the elastic support support member can be easily realized. Preferably. In this case, as long as the elastic member which is hardly bent at the time of the sliding operation and has a certain amount of bending during the pressing operation is appropriately selected, there is no risk that the supporting member will be deactivated by the (4) when the sliding operation is performed, so that it can be suppressed. Reliability 'and operation when pressing operation: secondly, the elastic member is constituted by a coil spring, and the sliding spring is disposed in a sliding movement region of a central portion of the operating body opposed to the upper surface of the supporting member When the outer side is pressed, even if the operating body is pressed at any position on the support member, most of the pressing operation force (more than half) of the pressing member can be applied to the inner side of the spiral magazine, and therefore, the supporting member Since it is difficult to tilt, it is preferable to perform a stable pressing operation.
又’於上述構成中’在支承部件之外周部突設有向下方 延伸之引導壁，並且於外殼上，設置有以能夠上下移動之 方式引導上述引導壁之第〗壁面、及位於該第丨壁面内側之 T2壁面，在上述引導壁與上述第2壁面之間，配置有螺旋 彈簧等彈性部件，因此，可於按下操作時藉由第1壁面之 引導而使支承部件順暢地上下移動，故操作性提高，並且 γ確保彈性部件之收容空間，而不損壞外殼之薄型化，故 ^佳。於此情形時，若在部分引導壁與部分第2壁面之間 劃有凹處，則可使在按下操作時由支承部件所壓縮之空氣 117624.doc 伙:凹處放出，因此不會存在支承部件之下降動作因壓縮 工氣而又阻之危險，並且將引導壁與第1壁面間之間隙設 定為除該凹處以外盡可能地狹窄，藉此亦能夠在幾乎不晃 動之狀態下以可上下移動之方式保持支承部件。 又，於上述之構成中，在操作體上設置有：扣合部，盆 與第!及第2滑動件扣合；以及環狀部，其直徑大於上述： 合部，並與支承部件之上表面對向；且在支承部件之上表 面與環狀部中之任一方上，形成有與另一方滑接之凸部， 因此可將操作體以穩定姿勢搭載於支承部件上，且操作體 〃支承件之上表面之接觸面積減少，故可減小摩捧力， =而可順暢地進行操作體之滑動操作而較佳。於此情形 將操作體之扣合部形成為圓柱狀或圓筒狀，並且在第 1滑動件與第2滑動件上’形成有使上述扣合部插通並在相 互正:之方向上延伸之長孔，因此在滑動操作時當旋轉力 不經意地作用於扣合部味 件及第Ρ時錢轉力難以傳送至第!滑動 =广月動件，故能夠有效地防止由該旋轉力引起之各 "之位置偏移，故而較佳。除此之外，於扣合部設置 非圓形之非圓形部，並且具備第3滑動件，其上 利w 轉地插通上料S1形部之長 部 ^㈠在’月動細作時旋轉力不經意地作用於扣合 巧緣Α σ 之非圓㈣亦會立即抵接於第3滑動件之長孔 周緣部以限制旋轉’故能夠防止 長孔 [發明之效果] ^^丁…而之％轉。 117624.doc 1323905 本發明之多方向輸入裝置中，由於操作體可滑動地搭載 於保持在外殼内之支承部件上’故在滑動操作時，操作體 於支承部件上滑動，並且利用該操作體而驅動第1滑動件 及第2滑動件，又，支承部件可於外殼内上下移動，並 於該支承部件之下方配置有按鈕開關，因此在按下操2 時’可經由操作體所按下之支承部件而使按紐開關動作。 即，可將按紐開_設於外殼内，而無須使按㈣關與操 作體-體地滑動移動，因此’無須在按鈕開關之圍繞路徑 上形成高平坦度之寬幅圖案或者插入複數個滑動子，故^ 易於實現構造之簡化及可靠性之提高，並且亦易於降低成 本0 【實施方式】 以下參照附圖，對本發明之實施形態進行說明，圖】係 本發明實施形態例之多方向輸入裝置之立體圖，圖2係表 示從圖!卸下上罩之狀態之立體圖，圖3係該多方向輸入裝 置之分解立體圖，圖4係該多方向輪入裝置之平面圖，圖$ 係沿圖4之Α·Α線之剖面冑，圖6係沿圖韻之剖面 圖’圖7係表示從圖4卸下上罩之狀態之平面圖，晴表 不圖7所示之操作體受到按下操作之狀態的帶有上罩之剖 面圖’圖9係表示圖7所示之操作體向該圖下方受到滑動操 作之狀態之平面圖’圖10係表示圖9所示之操作體受到按 下；：之狀態的帶有上罩之剖面圖，圖u係表示圖7= 之二體又到向該圖右方滑動操作之狀態之平面圖，圖U /糸不圖U所示之操作體受到按下操作之狀態的帶有上罩 117624.doc 方向輸入裝置中所具備 之剖面圖，圖13係從下方觀察該多 之操作體之立體圖。 於該，圖所示之多方向輪入裝置主要由下述部分而構 1外设1，其將上罩2及下盒3組合而形成；按紐開關4， 置於下盒3之内底面之中央部；螺旋彈簧5,其配置於 下盒3之環狀凹處3&内；支承部件6，其以可上下移動之方 式配置於覆蓋該等按紐開關4及螺旋彈簧5之位置；限制部 件7，其被定位岐於下盒3上，限制支承部件6之上升； 第1檢測單元(檢測部件)8及第2檢測單元(檢測部件)9，其 作為檢測機構而設置在上述限制部件7之兩個部位；㈣ 體丨〇，其具有圓板狀環狀部10a及向上方突出之突起部 ⑽’且滑動自如地搭載於支承料6上；隔板部扣，其 具有穿叹有開口 1 lb之隔板丨la，且被定位固定於限制部件 7上；波形墊圈12,其配置於操作體1〇之環狀部1〇a之環狀 槽l〇c内，環狀間隔片13,其層疊於該波形墊圏Η上且 與隔板11a之下表面彈性接觸；第丨滑動件14及第2滑動件 15，其等配置為扣合於操作體1〇之突起部i〇b之圓柱狀部 位l〇d，且能夠在相互正交之方向上移動；以及第3滑動件 16，其配置為扣合於操作體1〇之突起部1〇b之平板狀部位 10e，並且能夠在與第2滑動件15相同之方向上移動。 上罩2係將鈑金衝壓加工而形成，於其上面板2a之中央 部穿设有矩形狀之開口 2b ,並且於側板2C之複數個部位突 設有舌片2d。繼而，將該等舌片2(3嵌入下盒3之扣合凹部 3b而鉚接固定，藉此使上罩2與該下盒3一體化而構成外殼 117624.doc •12· 。又，下盒3由樹脂模製品而形A，於其内底面形成有： 1個卡止爪3C，用以保持按紐開關4;環狀壁3d’且形 立設於各卡止爪3。周圍之第2壁面；圓筒面3e，其形成 ^上述環狀凹處3a而與環狀壁3d對向之第！壁面；複數 ^位銷3f’用以對限制部件7及隔板部件η進行定位固 疋，以及端子孔3g，用以使第1及第2檢測單元8、9之各端 子8a、9a插通。 广開關4載置於下盒3之内底面上，且與卡止爪3c相卡 八八有.向下益3之下方突出之複數個端子牦以及按 純，該按紐4b支承内置之可動接點（未圖示）之彈力而向 方賦能。上述按紐開關4在按⑽受到按塵驅動時，上 述可動接點會與固定接點卩去固_a 關接通信號。 （未圓不）接觸而從端子h輸出開 配置於下盒3之環狀凹處3a内之螺旋彈簧5在向上方賦能 之狀態下彈性支持支承部件6。該支承部件6係具有圓板部 6a與引導㈣之樹脂模製品，圓板物之中央部搭載於按 紐開關4上，並且引導壁6b從圓板部6a之外周部向下方延 伸而配置於螺旋彈菁5之外側之環狀凹處3a内。又，於引 導壁6b之複數個部位形成有劃有作為空氣流通路之凹處之 凹段部6c。由於該引導壁6b之大小設定為能夠與下勺之 圓筒面3.接’因此’支承部件6由圓筒面3e引導而可幾 乎不傾斜地上下移動。再者，螺旋彈簧5係小徑彈菁，立 外徑尺寸（錢H、於支承部件㈣卜徑尺寸，操作㈣之^ 述凸部！Gf在支承部件6上滑接之滑動區域尺寸為螺旋彈笼 Π 7624 .doc -13- 1323905 5之外徑尺寸以内。又，於突起部1〇b能夠滑動移動之移動 區域之外側，配置有上述螺旋彈簧5 ’上述突起部議設置 於在支承部件6之上表®的任意方向上滑動移動之操作體Further, in the above configuration, a guide wall that extends downward is protruded from the outer peripheral portion of the support member, and a wall surface that guides the guide wall so as to be movable up and down is provided on the outer casing, and the third wall is located on the outer casing. The T2 wall surface on the inner side of the wall is provided with an elastic member such as a coil spring between the guide wall and the second wall surface. Therefore, the support member can be smoothly moved up and down by the guidance of the first wall surface during the pressing operation. Therefore, the operability is improved, and γ ensures the accommodation space of the elastic member without damaging the thinning of the outer casing. In this case, if a recess is formed between the partial guide wall and the part of the second wall surface, the air 117624.doc which is compressed by the support member during the pressing operation can be released, so that the recess does not exist. The lowering operation of the support member is hindered by the compression of the working atmosphere, and the gap between the guide wall and the first wall surface is set to be as narrow as possible except for the recess, thereby enabling the state to be hardly shaken. The support member can be held in a manner that can be moved up and down. Further, in the above configuration, the operating body is provided with a fastening portion, the bowl is engaged with the second and second sliding members, and the annular portion having a diameter larger than the above-mentioned: the joint portion and the support member The surface is opposed to each other; and one of the upper surface of the support member and the annular portion is formed with a convex portion that is slidably coupled to the other side, so that the operating body can be mounted on the support member in a stable posture, and the operation body is Since the contact area of the upper surface of the support member is reduced, the frictional force can be reduced, and the sliding operation of the operating body can be smoothly performed. In this case, the engaging portion of the operating body is formed into a cylindrical shape or a cylindrical shape, and the first sliding member and the second sliding member are formed with the engaging portions being inserted and extending in the direction of mutual positive: The long hole, so that when the rotational force is inadvertently applied to the engaging portion and the third in the sliding operation, it is difficult to transmit to the first sliding = wide moving member, so that the rotation force can be effectively prevented. The position of each " is offset, so it is better. In addition, a non-circular non-circular portion is provided in the fastening portion, and a third sliding member is provided, and the long portion of the upper portion of the S1 portion is inserted into the fastening portion. The non-circular (4) of the rotational force inadvertently acting on the engaging edge Α σ also immediately abuts on the peripheral portion of the long hole of the third sliding member to restrict the rotation, so that the long hole can be prevented [the effect of the invention] % turn. 117624.doc 1323905 In the multi-directional input device of the present invention, since the operating body is slidably mounted on the supporting member held in the casing, the operating body slides on the supporting member during the sliding operation, and the operating body is utilized. The first slider and the second slider are driven, and the support member is vertically movable in the casing, and a push button switch is disposed below the support member. Therefore, when the operation 2 is pressed, the button can be pressed by the operating body. The button is operated to support the button. That is, the button can be disposed in the outer casing without sliding the (four) off and the operating body to be physically moved, so that it is not necessary to form a wide flat pattern or insert a plurality of icons on the surrounding path of the push button switch. The simplification of the structure and the improvement of the reliability are easy to achieve, and the cost is also reduced.

When the drive is performed, the third slider 16 and the first member 15 are slidably moved in the same direction-body. The projections of the pair of operating members 1G configured in this manner are subjected to a rotary sliding operation and a pressing/applying manual operation force via an operation (not shown), whereby the sliding member can be fed into the member 6 The operating body 10 is pressed and pressed to make the #AP first slider 14 and the second slider 15; the upper body is decorated by the operating body 1〇4. The support member 6 is privately driven to drive the push button switch P as shown in Figs. 4 to 7, |. In the center portion of 2b, when the projection portion 10b of the operation body 1b is located at the annular portion 1a of the opening body 10, the pressing portion is pressed by the large portion 10b, and the support member 6 is operated, so that FIG. 8 As shown, press button 7624.doc -17· ^^905 The button servant of switch 4 is pressed and driven. 'From the terminal 钧 output switch is turned on. At this time, the support member 压 bends the coil spring 5 while it is lowered. After the pressing force is applied to the projection 1 () b, the support member 6 and the operating body 10 are pushed up to the original height position by the restoring force of the coil spring 5. Further, when the projection portion i〇b of the operating body (7) is slid to the lower side of FIG. 7 (to the right of FIG. 5) in the state shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, the operating force does not act. In the first slider 14 but the second slider 15 is driven by the projection 10b (the cylindrical portion i〇d), it is slidably moved in the direction of the squeezing while being guided by the second rail 7d, for example, moving to FIG. The status shown. In this case, the positional change of the slider support member 8b does not occur in the first detecting unit 8, but the second detecting unit 9 slides and moves due to the driving of the slider member 9b by the second slider 15, so that the slider support member 9b The detection signal corresponding to the sliding position is output from the terminal 9a. Further, when the second slider 15 is slidably moved, the third slider 16 is also slidably moved integrally in the same direction. In the meantime, the projection 1b of the operating body 1 that is slid and moved in this manner is pressed by the sang. The upper portion i 〇 b will be lowered with respect to the respective sliders 14 to 16 , and the annular portion 丨〇 a of the operating body 1 will press the support member 6 , so as shown in FIG. 1 , the push button switch 4 The button 4b is driven to output a switch-on signal from the terminal 4a, so that when the pressing force is released, the support member 6 and the operating body 1 are pushed up to the original height position. Similarly, when the projection 1 Ob of the operating body 1 is slid to the right of FIGS. 6 and 7 in the state shown in FIGS. 4 to 7 , the operating force does not act on the second slider 15 . However, the second slider 14 is driven by the projection i 〇 b (the cylinder 117624.doc • 18·10-shaped portion 10d), so that the side is guided by the second guide rail 7c, and is slid and moved in the operation direction, for example, to move to the _ State of the show. In this case, the positional change of the slider support 9b does not occur in the second detecting unit 9, but the first detecting unit 8 is slidably moved by the driving of the first slider 14 by the slider support 8b, so the slider support A detection signal corresponding to the sliding position of 8b is output from the terminal 8a. Further, the dog of the operating body H which is slid and moved in this manner is used. When the fUGb text is pressed, the protrusion (10) is lowered with respect to each of the sliders u16, and the annular portion iQa of the operating body 1G is pressed by the support portion, as shown in Fig. 12, the button switch 4 The push button outputs a switch-on signal from the terminal h via the push drive, so that when the pressing force is released, the support member 6 and the operating body 10 are pushed up to the original height position. Further, in the following, when the projections i 〇 b of the operation body 1 are slid in the direction in which they are inclined with respect to the second rails 7c and 7d, the first and second sliders 15 are slid according to the operation direction. The direction of the mutual orthogonal direction is the monthly movement characteristic a; therefore, the control unit of the external circuit performs arithmetic processing on the detection signals output from the terminals 8a and 9a of the cassettes 8 and 9 The sliding direction and the amount of sliding of the operating body 10 are detected. In the multi-directional input device of the embodiment described above, since the operation body 1G is slidably mounted on the support member 6 held in the casing i, the operation body 1 can be slid at the time of the sliding operation. When the support member 6 is slidable, the slider 14 and the second slider are driven by the operation body 1G, so that the operation direction of the operation body and the amount of sliding can be detected based on the positional information of each of the sliders 14, 15. Further, the support member 6 can be placed inside the casing i, and the push button switch 4 is disposed below the support member 6, because Η 7624.doc 19 1323905 can be pressed by the operated body 1G during the pressing operation. Since the push button switch 4 is driven by the support member 6, the push button switch 4 can be fixed in the casing ι without sliding the push button switch 4 integrally with the operating body 1 . Therefore, it is not necessary to form a wide flat pattern of high flatness or to insert a plurality of sliders on the surrounding path of the push button switch, so that the structure can be simplified, the reliability is improved, and the cost is also easily reduced.
又’於該多方向輸入裝置中，將支承部件6搭載於組裝 入下盒3内之螺旋彈簧5上，但該螺旋彈簧5產生之彈 之大小狀為’在滑動操作時幾乎不彎曲，而在按下操作 時彎曲特定量’故不僅彈性支持支承部件6之構造簡單， 而且在滑動操作時不存在支承部件6使按紐開關4誤操作之 危險，因而亦易於確保按下操作時之操作性。再者，配置 於按鈕開關4周圍之螺旋彈簧5之卷徑設定為大於操作體1〇 之中央部(突起部10b)滑動移動之區域，進而於本實施形態 例中’設定為包含操作體1G之凸部1Qf於支承部件6上之典 動區域，因此’即使於支承部件6上任意位置對操作體二 進行按下操作，對圓板部6&之按下操作力之作用點亦被限 定於螺旋彈簧5之内側，因而支承部件6進行按下操作時， 不存在傾斜之危險。又，由於螺旋彈簧5配置於下盒3之環 狀凹處3a内，因此，亦不會由於螺旋彈簧$之收容空間： 損害外殼1之薄型化。 又’該多方向輸入裝置之 壁6b能夠與下盒3之圓筒面 時’可藉由圓筒面3e之引導 大小a又疋為支承部件6之引導 36滑接，因此，於按下操作 而使支承部件6順暢地上下移 117624.doc •20- 動。而且，於引導壁6b之複數個部位形成有作為空氣流通 2之凹段部6C，故可使按下操作時由支承部件6所壓縮之 1乳從凹段部6c放出，因此不會存在支承部件6之下降動 作因壓縮空氣而受阻之危險。又，將引導壁6b與圓筒面3e 間之間隙言史定為&凹段部6c以外盡可能地狭冑，藉此亦能 ^在無晃動之狀態下以可上下移動t方式保持支承部件 6。再者，亦可於下盒3之圓筒面3e上設置適當凹處作為空 氣流通路，以替代於支承部件6之引導壁讣上設置凹段= ^進而，亦可於引導壁❿與圓筒面3e之兩者上設置凹 處。 又於該多方向輪入裝置中，複數個凸部10f突設於操 作體10之ί哀狀部1〇a之底面，該等凸部⑽與支承部件6之 圓板部6a滑接，因此操作體1()與圓板部仏之上表面之接觸 面積減彡，故使摩擦力減小，&此可於支承部件6上對操 作體10順暢地滑動操作。並且，即使於支承部件6之上表 面設置適當設置以替代於操作體1{)之環狀部心設置凸部 1 Of，亦可減小滑動操作時之摩擦力。 又’於該多方向輸入裝置中，在操作體10之突起部10b 中，與第i及第2滑動件14'15相扣合之部位係圓柱狀部位 10d ’因此，即使在操作時旋轉力不經意地作用於突起部 10b，圓柱狀部位i〇d亦可; 刀J於長孔14a、15a内旋轉，故不存 在上述旋轉力傳送至第1 :晋#Λ /it 1 /1斗、 弟h月動件14或第2滑動件15之情形， 因而能夠有效防止由今始絲士 2丨+ 田°亥紋轉力引起之各滑動件14、15之位 置偏移。而且，本f麻并{能Λ _ 貰％形態中，於第3滑動件16之長孔16a 117624.doc 1323905 中不能夠旋轉地插通並扣合有突起 .Λ ♦ . . 10b之平板狀部位 l〇e，若在操作時旋轉力不經意地作 if用於突起部1〇b，則該 平板狀部位10e會立即抵接於第3滑 之長孔16a之周 緣。P，以限制操作體10之旋轉，因此 防止才呆作體10進行 ，·.'需之旋轉，並且該旋轉力傳送至第 m動件14或第2滑動 件15之可能性更少。再者，與第丨及笛 及第2滑動件14、15相扣 合之圓柱狀部位10d可為圓筒狀，又， 興第3滑動件16相扣Further, in the multi-directional input device, the support member 6 is mounted on the coil spring 5 assembled in the lower case 3, but the size of the spring generated by the coil spring 5 is 'nearly bent during the sliding operation, and When the pressing operation is performed, the specific amount is bent. Therefore, not only the structure of the elastic supporting support member 6 is simple, but also there is no danger that the supporting member 6 causes the button switch 4 to be erroneously operated during the sliding operation, and thus it is easy to ensure the operability in the pressing operation. . Further, the coil diameter of the coil spring 5 disposed around the push button switch 4 is set to be larger than the area where the central portion (the projection portion 10b) of the operation body 1 is slid, and is further set to include the operation body 1G in the present embodiment. The convex portion 1Qf is in the tangential region on the support member 6, so that even if the operation body 2 is pressed at any position on the support member 6, the action of the pressing operation force on the circular plate portion 6& On the inner side of the coil spring 5, there is no risk of tilting when the support member 6 is pressed. Further, since the coil spring 5 is disposed in the annular recess 3a of the lower case 3, the accommodating space of the coil spring $ is not damaged: the thickness of the outer casing 1 is impaired. Moreover, the wall 6b of the multi-directional input device can be slid with the guide surface 36 of the support member 6 by the guide surface size a of the cylindrical surface 3e, so that the pressing operation is performed. The support member 6 is smoothly moved up and down 117624.doc • 20-moving. Further, since the concave portion 6C serving as the air flow 2 is formed at a plurality of portions of the guide wall 6b, the milk which is compressed by the support member 6 during the pressing operation can be released from the concave portion 6c, so that there is no support. The lowering action of the component 6 is jeopardized by the compressed air. Further, the gap between the guide wall 6b and the cylindrical surface 3e is defined as being as narrow as possible outside the concave portion 6c, whereby the support can be held up and down in a state where it can be moved up and down without shaking. Part 6. Further, a suitable recess may be provided in the cylindrical surface 3e of the lower case 3 as an air flow path, instead of providing a concave portion on the guide wall of the support member 6 = ^, and also guiding the wall and the circle A recess is provided in both of the cylinder faces 3e. Further, in the multi-directional wheel-in device, a plurality of convex portions 10f are protruded from the bottom surface of the smashing portion 1a of the operating body 10, and the convex portions (10) are slidably coupled to the circular plate portion 6a of the support member 6, Since the contact area between the operation body 1 () and the upper surface of the disc portion is reduced, the frictional force is reduced, and this can smoothly slide the operation body 10 on the support member 6. Further, even if the upper surface of the support member 6 is provided appropriately to provide the convex portion 1 Of instead of the annular portion of the operating body 1), the frictional force during the sliding operation can be reduced. Further, in the multi-directional input device, in the protruding portion 10b of the operating body 10, the portion that is engaged with the i-th and second sliders 14'15 is a cylindrical portion 10d'. Therefore, even during operation, the rotational force Inadvertently acting on the protrusion 10b, the cylindrical portion i〇d can also be rotated; the knife J is rotated in the long holes 14a, 15a, so the above-mentioned rotational force is not transmitted to the first 1: Jin #Λ /it 1 /1 bucket, brother In the case of the h lug member 14 or the second slider 15, it is possible to effectively prevent the positional displacement of each of the sliders 14, 15 caused by the current yarn 2 丨 + ° 亥 。. Further, in the form of the 麻 贳 贳 %, the long hole 16a 117624.doc 1323905 of the third slider 16 is not rotatably inserted and fastened with a protrusion. ♦ ♦ . At the position l〇e, if the rotational force is inadvertently used for the projection 1b in the operation, the flat portion 10e immediately abuts against the periphery of the third sliding long hole 16a. P, to restrict the rotation of the operating body 10, thereby preventing the body 10 from proceeding, the rotation required, and the possibility of transmitting the rotational force to the mth moving member 14 or the second sliding member 15 is less. Further, the cylindrical portion 10d that is engaged with the second and the flutes and the second sliders 14, 15 may be cylindrical, and the third slider 16 is interlocked.
合之平板狀部位10e形成非圓形部，亦 少J為於長孔16a内能 夠滑動且不能夠旋轉之形狀（剖面為非圓形且具有平行之 一對平坦面之形狀）。 又’各滑動件14〜16之層疊順序並非限定於上述實施形 態例，例如，亦可將第3滑動件16配設於第丨及第2滑動件 14、15之下側。於此情形時，亦可使操作體⑺之突起部 之前端側（上側）為圓柱或圓筒狀部位，並且使環狀部 l〇a側（下側）為剖面呈非圓形狀之部位。The flat portion 10e is formed into a non-circular portion, and J is a shape that is slidable in the long hole 16a and is not rotatable (the cross section is non-circular and has a shape of a pair of parallel flat faces). Further, the order in which the sliders 14 to 16 are stacked is not limited to the above-described embodiment. For example, the third slider 16 may be disposed on the lower side of the second and second sliders 14, 15. In this case, the front end side (upper side) of the protruding portion of the operating body (7) may be a cylindrical or cylindrical portion, and the annular portion l〇a side (lower side) may be a portion having a non-circular cross section.
