Problems solved by technology

Therefore, when the operation shaft is returned to the neutral position (initial state) from the state in which the operation shaft was tilted, there is a possibility that the operation shaft may shake within the range of the gap, or the output of the detection means in the initial state may also be deviated.

Abstract

Provided is a multi-directional input device capable of restraining output deviation of a detecting unit by reducing swinging of an operating component. In the multi-directional input device (10), the operating component (3) is provided with an accommodating portion (311) of an accommodating spiral spring (91), a cylindrical portion (312) downwardly formed in a protruding mode of the accommodating portion (311), a hole portion (321) formed from the lower end of the cylindrical portion (312) to the upper end portion of a protruding portion (32). A driving component (92) is provided with an inserted hole portion (321), a shaft portion (922) externally protruding to an opening (221a) of a shell. Guiding operation is carried out between a position to which the shaft portion (922) moves, corresponding to the upper end portion of the shaft portion (922), of the hole portion (321) along an axial direction and the lower end portion of the cylindrical portion (312).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a multi-directional input device, and more particularly to a multi-directional input device that inputs various signals according to the operation of an operating member in any direction around it. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there is known a multi-directional input device that includes an operating member that can be manipulated in any direction around the operating member, that outputs a signal based on the operating direction and amount of the operating member, and that can be controlled by pressing the operating member. Turn on / off the internal switch circuit. As such a multi-directional input device, for example, a device having a structure including an operating shaft and an operating member capable of moving in the axial direction of the operating shaft is proposed, and these operating shafts and the operating member are spline-coupled (for example, refer to Patent Document 1 ).
