To do.
- the push button switch 110, the push button switch 122, the push button switch 124, and the push button switch 126 are supported on the rubber sheet 170 via respective leg portions.
- the operation unit 100 further includes a spring 104 inside a through hole formed at a position facing the pressing surface of the push button switch 110 of the bracket 102, the insulating sheet 106, the substrate 150, and the rubber sheet 170.
- the push button switch 110 is also supported by the spring 104.
- the push button switch 110 is larger than the push button switch 122, the push button switch 124, and the push button switch 126.
- the push button switch 110 also functions as a push button switch for instructing the rotation of the reel, so that the push button switch 110 is used more frequently than the push button switch 122, the push button switch 124, and the push button switch 126. Therefore, there is a possibility that only the elastic force by the rubber sheet 170 does not return to the original position after the push button switch 110 is pressed. Therefore, by providing the spring 104, the elastic force of the spring 104 is added to the elastic force of the rubber sheet 170. Thereby, after the pushbutton switch 110 is pressed, it can be reliably returned to the original position.
- FIG. 18 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB shown in FIG.
- the push button switch 122, the push button switch 124, and the push button switch 126 are arranged in individual spaces respectively defined by the wall portion 182 of the spectral wall 180. Therefore, when an LED corresponding to one pushbutton switch emits light, it is possible to prevent light from the LED from entering the space of another pushbutton switch. Moreover, the light reflected by the wall part 182 is radiate
- FIG. 19 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC shown in FIG.
- the push button switch 122, the push button switch 124, and the push button switch 126 are supported by protrusions 175, 177, and 179, which are movable contacts on the rubber sheet 170, by respective leg portions.
- the substrate 150 has counter electrodes 212, 214, and 216 that are fixed contacts at positions facing the protrusions 175, 177, and 179.
- the display unit 160 may be configured by a touch panel display, and the display unit 160 may function as at least one of the ascending order switching instruction receiving unit 422, the descending order switching instruction receiving unit 424, and the setting instruction receiving unit 426. Thereby, the ratio of the display area to function as the operation button in the display area of the display unit 160 can be reduced.
