Problems solved by technology

[0009] However, in recent years, the miniaturization and thinning of various electronic instruments are required. The conventional multi-directional operation switch has a large height dimension in structure, and can only output one signal for each operation direction, so for each operation direction, Only one signal can be output

Embodiment 2

[0066] Next, the multidirectional operation switch according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described. Parts having the same structure as that of the first embodiment are assigned the same symbols, and detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.

[0067] Figure 12 It is a front cross-sectional view of an electronic device equipped with a multidirectional operation switch according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. This multi-directional operation switch has the switch of the first embodiment and a self-recovery type center switch attached to the center of the switch and capable of operating independently by pressing.

[0068] The contact portion of the central switch has the same as the switch of the first embodiment: an outer contact 43A and an a central contact 43B; and a dome-shaped movable contact 44 made of an elastic thin metal plate provided on the top thereof. In this contact portion, the outer peripheral lower end of the movable contact 44...

Abstract

In a multi-directional operation switch, an operating disk, upon being pressed at its upper side, tilts to depress a elastic pressing member, thus making hard rings of the driving member to press a resistor sheet sequentially. This operation allows resistor layers beneath the resistor sheet to directly contact annular electrically conductive layers facing the resistor layers in a desired sequence, respectively. The multi-directional operation switch has a reduced height and can produce a number of switching signals according to desired angular directions of switching operations.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a multi-directional operation switch used in input operations in electronic devices such as mobile phones, information terminal devices, and remote controllers, and a multi-directional input device using the same. Background technique [0002] Next, use Figure 15 ~ Figure 17 , to describe the conventional multi-directional operation switch. [0003] Figure 15 It is a front sectional view of a conventional multi-directional operation switch. The opening of the upper surface of the box-shaped housing 1 made of insulating resin is covered with a cover 2 made of a thin metal plate. like Figure 16 As shown in the exploded perspective view of , on the bottom surface of the box body 1 , four peripheral fixed contacts 3 to 6 arranged at equal distances from the center to the left and right are fixed by insert molding. Elastic tabs 9 to 12 of the common movable contact body 8 fixed in contact with the common contact 7 are...
