Title:
MULTI-DIRECTIONAL INPUT DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3934330
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multi-directional input device requiring a less number of parts and achieving proper assembability and low cost.
SOLUTION: The multi-directional input device comprises a frame 1, having an upper wall 1e, a printed wiring board 9 having a fixed electrode portion 10, and an operating shaft 3 which is oscillatable. A movable electrode portion 7 is arranged on the operating shaft 3, counterposed to the fixed electrode portion 10. With the tilting operation of the operating shaft 3, a counterposed area between the movable electrode portion 7 and the fixed electrode portion 10 is varied, and with the change in an electrostatic capacity between the movable electrode portion 7 and the fixed electrode portion 10, the tilting direction of the operating shaft is to be detected.
