Problems solved by technology

[0022] In the conventional multi-directional input device, the electrical components 32a, 32b are operated by tilting the operation body 38, so there is a problem that the vertical size becomes large.
[0023] Moreover, in addition to the operating body 38, the first and second interlocking parts 36, 37, the first and second rocking parts 42, 43, the bottom plate 41, and the coil spring 44 are required, so the number of parts increases, and not only the cost becomes high, and the problem of becoming large through these components

Embodiment Construction

[0057] The following is based on Figure 1 to Figure 13 To illustrate the structure of the multi-directional input device of the present invention, the insulating base 1 made of a synthetic resin molding is particularly as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, it has a quadrangular flat plate shape, and has four recesses 1a provided on each side of the outer peripheral part and a pair of arc-shaped protruding walls 1b provided in the central part.

[0058] The first and second fixed contacts 2 and 3 made of metal plates are embedded and installed in the insulating base 1 by insert molding.

[0059] Moreover, the first fixed contact 2 exposes the contact portion 2a in the center of the protruding wall 1b, and the terminal portion 2b protrudes from the outer peripheral portion of the insulating base 1, and the second fixed contact 3 surrounds the protruding wall 1b. The contact portion 3 a is exposed in the state of the contact portion 2 a , and the terminal portion 3 b protrudes fr...

Abstract

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a small-sized, inexpensive multidirectional input device having a small number of part items. In the invented multidirectional input device, a movable contact part 9 is moved when an operation member S is slid, and the contact area of the movable contact part 9 with a resistor 7 is capable of varying. Therefore, the vertical directional dimension of the device can be greatly reduced as compared with a conventional method that tilts the operation body such that the small-sized multidirectional input device can be provided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a multidirectional input device suitable for electronic devices such as game machines. Background technique [0002] according to Figure 14 To describe a conventional joystick-type multi-directional input device, the housing 31 formed by bending a metal plate includes: an upper panel 31b having a large hole 31a; and side panels that bend four sides of the upper panel 31b downward. 31c. [0003] A plurality of electrical components 32a, 32b composed of rotary variable resistors are composed of a box-shaped case 33, an insulating substrate 34 installed in an opening of the case 33 and provided with resistors (not shown), The rotating body 35 rotatably attached to the insulating substrate 34 and equipped with a mover (not shown) sliding on the resistor is formed as separate electrical components 32a, 32b. [0004] Furthermore, the case 33 is attached to the adjacent side panel 31c, and the two electrical components 32a, 32b are...
