Abstract

The invention provides a multi-direction input device with high reliability, and foreign matters can be prevented from entering in the device even if an operation element is formed by synthetic resin. The multi-direction input device (1) comprises the following structures: a housing (2) with an opening port (211); the operation element (7) capable of carrying out pouring operation, and the operation element (7) is provided with a shaft portion (71) protruding from the opening port (211) and a flange portion (72) arranged outside the housing (2) opposite to the opening port (211); and a detection mechanism for detecting a pouring motion of the operation element (7). The device is characterized in that the shaft portion (71) of the operation element (7) is formed by synthetic resin on one hand, and the flange portion (72) is formed by elastic material on the other hand, and the elastic material with elastic deformation property is formed in one body with the shaft portion.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a multi-directional input device, and more particularly to a multi-directional input device suitable for performing direction input operations on a portable telephone device, a controller for a game machine, and the like. Background technique [0002] In the past, it has been proposed that a flange portion is integrally provided with the operation lever operated by the operator, and the outer diameter of the flange portion is set to be larger than the opening diameter of the control box opening (for example, refer to Patent Literature 1). According to this lever structure, since the opening of the control box is covered by the flange, entry of foreign matter through the opening can be suppressed. [0003] Patent Document 1: (Japanese) Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2002-285580 [0004] When the above-mentioned joystick structure is applied to a multi-directional input device such as a controller for a game machine,...
