本発明の実施形態について図面に沿って詳細に説明する。図１には、本実施形態における多方向操作部品の斜視図を示している。本実施形態の多方向操作部品は、箱状に形成されてなるケース体１内にスイッチ等の各種部品が納められ、ケース体１はカバー体６によって覆われると共に、ケース体１を覆うカバー体６からは操作体４が突出して、この操作体４がケース体１に対して、Ｘ方向とＹ方向の２方向に直線移動可能とされると共に、直線移動の中立位置において左右方向にそれぞれ回転動作可能とされてなるものである。   Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a multidirectional operation component in the present embodiment. In the multidirectional operation component of the present embodiment, various parts such as a switch are housed in a case body 1 formed in a box shape. The case body 1 is covered with a cover body 6 and covers the case body 1. 6, the operating body 4 protrudes, and the operating body 4 can be linearly moved in two directions of the X direction and the Y direction with respect to the case body 1 and rotated in the left and right directions at the neutral position of the linear movement. It is supposed to be operable.

図２には、多方向操作部品の分解斜視図を示している。この図に示すように、ケース体１は上ケース２と下ケース３の二部材からなり、操作体４は上ケース２の上面２ａ上に載置される。操作体４は、上方に突出する操作部２０と、操作部２０の下端部から四方に伸びる枠状の直線駆動押圧部２２を有している。   FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the multidirectional operation component. As shown in this figure, the case body 1 includes two members, an upper case 2 and a lower case 3, and the operation body 4 is placed on the upper surface 2 a of the upper case 2. The operation body 4 includes an operation unit 20 that protrudes upward, and a frame-shaped linear drive pressing unit 22 that extends from the lower end of the operation unit 20 in all directions.

操作体４の上面側には、板状の回転体５が設けられる。回転体５は、操作体４の操作部２０が挿通される開口部２５を有し、またＹ方向一方側に突出する回転駆動押圧部２６が形成されている。開口部２５は、Ｘ方向に沿って操作部２０がスライド自在となるように形成されている。   A plate-shaped rotating body 5 is provided on the upper surface side of the operating body 4. The rotating body 5 has an opening 25 through which the operating portion 20 of the operating body 4 is inserted, and a rotation drive pressing portion 26 protruding to one side in the Y direction is formed. The opening 25 is formed so that the operation unit 20 can slide along the X direction.

操作体４は、回転体５の開口部２５に係合する係合部２１を備えている。係合部２１は、操作体４をＸ方向に移動させる際には、開口部２５内をスライドするので、このとき回転体５は動作しない。一方、操作体４をＹ方向に移動させる際には、開口部２５に係合した係合部２１によって、回転体５は操作体４と共にＹ方向に移動する。また、操作体４を回転させた場合には、開口部２５に係合した係合部２１によって、回転体５は操作体４と共に回転動作する。   The operating body 4 includes an engaging portion 21 that engages with the opening 25 of the rotating body 5. Since the engaging part 21 slides in the opening 25 when moving the operating body 4 in the X direction, the rotating body 5 does not operate at this time. On the other hand, when the operating body 4 is moved in the Y direction, the rotating body 5 moves in the Y direction together with the operating body 4 by the engaging portion 21 engaged with the opening 25. When the operating body 4 is rotated, the rotating body 5 rotates together with the operating body 4 by the engaging portion 21 engaged with the opening 25.

より詳細には、操作体４と回転体５の関係は以下のように構成されている。回転体５に形成された開口部２５のＸ方向の長さは、係合部２１の左右方向の長さと操作体４のＸ方向スライド量とを合わせた長さに対し同等かそれ以上長いため、Ｘ方向の操作時において、回転体５は操作体４のＸ方向への移動の影響を受けず、動作しない。   More specifically, the relationship between the operating body 4 and the rotating body 5 is configured as follows. The length in the X direction of the opening 25 formed in the rotating body 5 is equal to or longer than the total length of the engagement portion 21 in the left-right direction and the X-direction slide amount of the operating body 4. During the operation in the X direction, the rotating body 5 is not affected by the movement of the operating body 4 in the X direction and does not operate.

また、操作体４に形成された係合部２１の両端部２１ａ、２１ｂは、回転体５に形成された開口部２５の端部２５ａ、２５ｂに係止されており、開口部の端部２５ａ、２５ｂのＹ方向の幅は、係合部端部２１ａ、２１ｂのＹ方向の幅に対し、ほぼ同等とされている。すなわち、このクリアランス量が、操作体４のＹ方向のスライド量より十分小さいものであるため、Ｙ方向での操作時において、回転体５は操作体４と共にＹ方向に移動する。   Further, both end portions 21a and 21b of the engaging portion 21 formed on the operation body 4 are engaged with end portions 25a and 25b of the opening portion 25 formed on the rotating body 5, and the end portion 25a of the opening portion. 25b in the Y direction is substantially equal to the Y direction width of the engaging portion end portions 21a and 21b. That is, since this clearance amount is sufficiently smaller than the sliding amount of the operating body 4 in the Y direction, the rotating body 5 moves in the Y direction together with the operating body 4 when operating in the Y direction.

操作体４の回転について、操作体４のＸ方向の中心線と、操作体４のＹ方向の中心線との交点が、操作部２０の頂部２０ａの中心位置と略同一であり、操作体４を回転操作すると、該交点もしくはその近傍を中心として回転動作する。   Regarding the rotation of the operation body 4, the intersection of the center line in the X direction of the operation body 4 and the center line in the Y direction of the operation body 4 is substantially the same as the center position of the top portion 20 a of the operation section 20. Is rotated about the intersection or the vicinity thereof.

30d and rotation drive sliders 35a and 35b slidably driven by the rotating body 5 are provided so as to be slidable in a direction parallel to the moving direction of the operation body 4, respectively. Four linear drive sliders 30a to 30d are provided corresponding to the movement directions of the operation body 4 in the X direction and the Y direction, and the rotation drive sliders 35a and 35b correspond to the movement directions of the left and right rotation of the operation body 4.

It is made up of.

ケース体１を構成する上ケース２には、上面２ａに直線操作被押圧部３２と回転操作被押圧部３７を挿通させる複数の開口部が形成されている。具体的には、操作体４のＹ方向一方側操作に対応した直線操作被押圧部３２を挿通させる第１開口部１２と、操作体４のＹ方向他方側操作に対応した直線操作被押圧部３２を挿通させる第２開口部１３と、操作体４のＸ方向一方側操作に対応した直線操作被押圧部３２を挿通させる第３開口部１４と、操作体４のＸ方向他方側操作に対応した直線操作被押圧部３２を挿通させる第４開口部１５と、操作体４の右回転操作に対応した回転操作被押圧部３７を挿通させる第５開口部１６と、操作体４の左回転操作に対応した回転操作被押圧部３７を挿通させる第６開口部１７とを有している。   The upper case 2 constituting the case body 1 is formed with a plurality of openings through which the linear operation pressed portion 32 and the rotation operation pressed portion 37 are inserted in the upper surface 2a. Specifically, the first opening 12 through which the linear operation pressed portion 32 corresponding to the Y direction one side operation of the operating body 4 is inserted, and the linear operation pressed portion corresponding to the Y direction other side operation of the operating body 4 The second opening 13 through which the operating body 4 is inserted, the third opening 14 through which the linear operation pressed part 32 corresponding to the X direction one side operation of the operating body 4 is inserted, and the other side operation in the X direction of the operating body 4 are supported. The fourth opening 15 through which the straight operation pressed portion 32 is inserted, the fifth opening 16 through which the rotation operation pressed portion 37 corresponding to the right rotation operation of the operation body 4 is inserted, and the left rotation operation of the operation body 4 And a sixth opening portion 17 through which the rotation operation pressed portion 37 corresponding to is inserted.

操作体４の直線駆動押圧部２２は、上ケース２から突出した直線操作被押圧部３２の上端部に当接し保持する枠形状が、操作方向に対応して操作部２０の下端部四方に形成されている。また、回転体５の回転駆動押圧部２６は、上ケース２から突出し直線操作被押圧部３２よりも高く形成されたＸ方向両側の回転操作被押圧部３７に対して、両側がそれぞれ当接する幅を有するように形成される。   The linear drive pressing portion 22 of the operating body 4 has a frame shape that contacts and holds the upper end portion of the linear operation pressed portion 32 that protrudes from the upper case 2 and is formed on the lower end portion of the operating portion 20 in accordance with the operation direction. Has been. Further, the rotation drive pressing portion 26 of the rotating body 5 has a width in which both sides abut against the rotation operation pressed portions 37 on both sides in the X direction that protrude from the upper case 2 and are formed higher than the linear operation pressed portion 32. Is formed.

35b, an elastic body 9 inserted into the inside from the lower end, a small drive body 7 attached to the front end of the elastic body 9, and a plurality of pieces that are housed in the lower case 3 and swing like a seesaw. The contact part 8 is received. The elastic body 9 is in a state where the contact component 8 is constantly pressed via the drive body 7, and the linear drive sliders 30a to 30d and the rotary drive sliders 35a, 3a and 3 are caused by the reaction force.
5b is urged toward the neutral position side of the operating body 4. Therefore, when the operating body 4 is operated in either direction and the hand is released, the linear drive sliders 30a to 30d or the rotary drive sliders 35a and 35b return to their original positions by the biasing force of the elastic body 9. That is, the operating tool 4 can be automatically returned to the original position.

ケース体１を構成する下ケース３は、接点部品８を揺動自在に保持する接点収納部１０を複数有している。接点収納部１０の底面には、それぞれ接点部１１が埋設形成されている。接点部１１は、接点部品８の揺動に伴って接続状態が切り替わるように、３つの接点を並設して露出するようにされている。   The lower case 3 constituting the case body 1 has a plurality of contact accommodating portions 10 that hold the contact parts 8 so as to be swingable. Contact portions 11 are embedded in the bottom surface of the contact storage portion 10. The contact portion 11 is exposed by arranging three contacts side by side so that the connection state is switched in accordance with the swing of the contact component 8.

接点部品８は、揺動の前後において中央の接点には共通して接触し、揺動前に一端側の接点に対して接触し、揺動後に他端側の接点に対して接触する。すなわち、揺動前の状態において接点部品８は、一端側の接点と中央の接点を導通状態とし、揺動後の状態において接点部品８は、他端側の接点と中央の接点を導通状態とする。   The contact part 8 contacts the central contact in common before and after swinging, contacts the contact on one end side before swinging, and contacts the contact on the other end side after swinging. That is, in the state before the swing, the contact part 8 is in a conductive state between the contact at one end and the central contact, and in the state after the swing, the contact part 8 is in a conductive state between the contact at the other end and the central contact. To do.

図３には、カバー体６を除いた多方向操作部品の平面図を示している。この図に示すように、回転体５の開口部２５は、操作体４の操作部２０を挿通させることのできる大きさに形成されると共に、操作部２０をＸ方向に直線移動させた場合に、操作部２０と干渉しないように、Ｘ方向に沿って細長く形成されている。一方、操作体４に形成された係合部２１は、回転体５の開口部２５に係合している。したがって、操作体４を回転操作すると、回転体５もそれに伴って回転する。   In FIG. 3, the top view of the multidirectional operation component except the cover body 6 is shown. As shown in this figure, the opening 25 of the rotating body 5 is formed in a size that allows the operation unit 20 of the operation body 4 to be inserted, and when the operation unit 20 is linearly moved in the X direction. In order not to interfere with the operation unit 20, it is elongated along the X direction. On the other hand, the engaging portion 21 formed on the operating body 4 is engaged with the opening 25 of the rotating body 5. Therefore, when the operating body 4 is rotated, the rotating body 5 also rotates accordingly.

回転体５の回転駆動押圧部２６は、上ケース２の第５開口部１６及び第６開口部１７から突出する回転操作被押圧部３７に対して、両側面がそれぞれ隣接した状態となっている。操作体４の回転操作に伴って回転体５が回転すると、回転駆動押圧部２６はいずれかの回転操作被押圧部３７を押圧駆動し、当該回転操作被押圧部３７を有するケース体１内の回転駆動スライダー３５ａ、３５ｂがスライドされる。   The rotation drive pressing portion 26 of the rotating body 5 is in a state where both side surfaces are adjacent to the rotation operation pressed portion 37 protruding from the fifth opening 16 and the sixth opening 17 of the upper case 2. . When the rotating body 5 rotates in accordance with the rotation operation of the operating body 4, the rotation drive pressing portion 26 presses and drives any one of the rotation operation pressed portions 37, and the inside of the case body 1 having the rotation operation pressed portion 37. The rotation drive sliders 35a and 35b are slid.

図４には、カバー体６及び回転体５を除いた多方向操作部品の平面図を示している。この図に示すように、操作体４の直線駆動押圧部２２は、各保持部２２ａにおいて上ケース２の第１開口部１２、第２開口部１３、第３開口部１４及び第４開口部１５から突出する直線操作被押圧部３２を保持している。一方で、Ｘ方向両側の保持部２２ａはＹ方向に縦長状となるように形成され、Ｙ方向両側の保持部２２ａはＸ方向に縦長状となるように形成されている。   FIG. 4 is a plan view of the multidirectional operation component excluding the cover body 6 and the rotating body 5. As shown in this figure, the linear drive pressing portion 22 of the operating body 4 includes the first opening portion 12, the second opening portion 13, the third opening portion 14 and the fourth opening portion 15 of the upper case 2 in each holding portion 22a. The linearly operated pressed portion 32 protruding from is held. On the other hand, the holding portions 22a on both sides in the X direction are formed to be vertically long in the Y direction, and the holding portions 22a on both sides in the Y direction are formed to be vertically long in the X direction.

これにより、操作体４をＸ方向に直線操作すると、直線駆動押圧部２２はＸ方向両側の保持部２２ａによって、これらに保持された直線操作被押圧部３２を押圧駆動し、当該直線操作被押圧部３２を有するケース体１内の直線駆動スライダー３０ｃ、３０ｄがスライドされる。一方で、Ｙ方向両側の保持部２２ａは、これらに保持された直線操作被押圧部３２を押圧しないので、当該直線操作被押圧部３２を有する直線駆動スライダー３０ａ、３０ｂはスライドされないこととなる。   As a result, when the operating body 4 is linearly operated in the X direction, the linear drive pressing portion 22 presses and drives the linear operation pressed portion 32 held by the holding portions 22a on both sides in the X direction. The linear drive sliders 30c and 30d in the case body 1 having the portion 32 are slid. On the other hand, since the holding portions 22a on both sides in the Y direction do not press the linearly operated pressed portions 32 held by these, the linear drive sliders 30a and 30b having the linearly operated pressed portions 32 are not slid.

操作体４をＹ方向に直線操作すると、直線駆動押圧部２２はＹ方向両側の保持部２２ａによって、これらに保持された直線操作被押圧部３２を押圧駆動し、当該直線操作被押圧部３２を有するケース体１内の直線駆動スライダー３０ａ、３０ｂがスライドされる。一方で、Ｘ方向両側の保持部２２ａはこれらに保持された直線操作被押圧部３２を押圧しないので、当該直線操作被押圧部３２を有する直線駆動スライダー３０ｃ、３０ｄはスライドされないこととなる。   When the operation body 4 is linearly operated in the Y direction, the linear drive pressing portion 22 presses and drives the linear operation pressed portion 32 held by the holding portions 22a on both sides in the Y direction so that the linear operation pressed portion 32 is moved. The linear drive sliders 30a and 30b in the case body 1 are slid. On the other hand, since the holding portions 22a on both sides in the X direction do not press the linear operation pressed portions 32 held by them, the linear drive sliders 30c and 30d having the linear operation pressed portions 32 are not slid.

つまり、操作体４をＸ方向に直線操作すると、Ｘ方向両側に対応して配置された直線駆動スライダー３０ｃ、３０ｄのみがいずれも同じ方向にスライド駆動され、操作体４をＹ方向に直線操作すると、Ｙ方向両側に対応して配置された直線駆動スライダー３０ａ、３０ｂのみがいずれも同じ方向にスライド駆動される。なお、操作体４をＸ方向に直線操作した場合には、前述のように操作体４は回転体５と干渉することなく開口部２５を移動することができるため、回転駆動スライダー３５ａ、３５ｂが駆動されることはない。また、操作体４をＹ方向に直線操作した場合には、回転体５は操作体４と共にＹ方向に移動するが、この場合も回転駆動スライダー３５ａ、３５ｂには影響を与えず、これらを駆動することもない。   That is, when the operating body 4 is linearly operated in the X direction, only the linear drive sliders 30c and 30d arranged corresponding to both sides of the X direction are slid in the same direction, and the operating body 4 is linearly operated in the Y direction. Only the linear drive sliders 30a and 30b arranged corresponding to both sides in the Y direction are slid in the same direction. When the operating body 4 is linearly operated in the X direction, the operating body 4 can move through the opening 25 without interfering with the rotating body 5 as described above. It is never driven. In addition, when the operating body 4 is linearly operated in the Y direction, the rotating body 5 moves in the Y direction together with the operating body 4, but in this case, the rotary driving sliders 35a and 35b are not affected and are driven. I don't have to.

次に、操作体４を駆動したときの接点の切替動作について説明する。図５には、図４のＡ−Ａ断面図を示している。この図は、操作体４がＸ方向及びＹ方向の中立位置にある状態を示している。図５に示すように、直線駆動スライダー３０ａ、３０ｂは、上端部が操作体４の直線駆動押圧部２２に保持され、操作体４がＹ方向に操作されることにより、当該方向にスライドする。この図においてＹ方向両側の直線駆動スライダー３０ａ、３０ｂは、それぞれ操作体４のＹ方向操作に対応してスライド駆動されるものである。   Next, the contact switching operation when the operating body 4 is driven will be described. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. This figure shows a state in which the operating body 4 is in a neutral position in the X direction and the Y direction. As shown in FIG. 5, the linear drive sliders 30 a and 30 b are held in the linear drive pressing portion 22 of the operation body 4 at the upper ends, and slide in that direction when the operation body 4 is operated in the Y direction. In this figure, the linear drive sliders 30a and 30b on both sides in the Y direction are slid and driven corresponding to the operation in the Y direction of the operating body 4, respectively.

直線駆動スライダー３０ａ、３０ｂは、断面形状において下方開放状のハット形状を有してなり、内部には弾性体９を保持している。また、弾性体９の下端部には、駆動体７が保持されていて、下ケース３内に納められている接点部品８に対して弾接した状態となっている。   The linear drive sliders 30a and 30b have a hat shape that is open downward in cross-sectional shape, and hold the elastic body 9 therein. In addition, the driving body 7 is held at the lower end of the elastic body 9 and is in elastic contact with the contact part 8 housed in the lower case 3.

接点部品８は、接点収納部１０の底面に並設配置された３つの接点部１１のうち、中央の接点部１１ｂに接触すると共に、Ｙ方向両側の接点部１１ａ、１１ｃのいずれかに接触している。接点部品８には、中央部に直線駆動スライダー３０側に向かって突出する突部８ａが形成されており、この突部８ａの下面側で中央の接点部１１ｂに接触し、両端部でＹ方向両側部の接点部１１ａ、１１ｃのいずれかに接触する。駆動体７は、弾性体９により下方に付勢されており、接点部品８の突部８ａに隣接しているため、操作体４をスライドさせるまでは安定的に接点部品８が接点部１１に接触した状態となる。   The contact component 8 contacts the contact portion 11b at the center of the three contact portions 11 arranged in parallel on the bottom surface of the contact storage portion 10, and contacts any of the contact portions 11a and 11c on both sides in the Y direction. ing. The contact part 8 is formed with a protrusion 8a that protrudes toward the linear drive slider 30 at the center, and contacts the center contact 11b on the lower surface side of the protrusion 8a. It contacts either of the contact portions 11a and 11c on both sides. Since the driving body 7 is urged downward by the elastic body 9 and is adjacent to the protrusion 8a of the contact part 8, the contact part 8 is stably moved to the contact part 11 until the operating body 4 is slid. It comes into contact.

ここで、操作体４を図５のＹ方向他方側に移動させたとすると、Ｙ方向両側の直線駆動スライダー３０ａ、３０ｂは、いずれもＹ方向他方側にスライドすることとなる。Ｙ方向他方側の駆動体７は、直線駆動スライダー３０ｂによってＹ方向他方側に移動され、接点部品８の突部８ａに乗り上げながら、接点部品８を反対側に揺動させる。このとき、駆動体７は弾性体９による付勢に対抗して上方にも移動することとなり、操作に重みの感触を付与することができる。   Here, if the operating body 4 is moved to the other side in the Y direction in FIG. 5, both the linear drive sliders 30a and 30b on both sides in the Y direction slide to the other side in the Y direction. The driving body 7 on the other side in the Y direction is moved to the other side in the Y direction by the linear drive slider 30b and swings the contact part 8 to the opposite side while riding on the protrusion 8a of the contact part 8. At this time, the driving body 7 moves upward against the urging force of the elastic body 9 and can give a feel of weight to the operation.

操作体４を操作可能なＹ方向他方端部までスライドさせた状態において、駆動体７は接点部品８の突部８ａの突端付近に位置し、このとき接点部品８はＹ方向一方側の接点部１１ｃから離れて、中央の接点部１１ｂとＹ方向他方側の接点部１１ａに接触した状態となる。この接点部品８の接点部１１に対する接触状態の切替は、駆動体７が所定の位置に到達したときに遷移的に生じるため、操作に対してクリック感触を付与することができる。   In a state in which the operating body 4 is slid to the other end in the Y direction where the operation body 4 can be operated, the driving body 7 is positioned in the vicinity of the protruding end of the protruding portion 8a of the contact part 8. At this time, the contact part 8 is the contact part on one side in the Y direction. It will be in the state which left | separated from 11c and contacted the center contact part 11b and the contact part 11a of the other Y direction side. Since the switching of the contact state of the contact component 8 with respect to the contact portion 11 occurs in a transitional manner when the driving body 7 reaches a predetermined position, a click feeling can be given to the operation.

なお、この場合においてＹ方向一方側の駆動体７は、接点部品８の略水平な部分をスライドするだけであるため、接点部品８の接点部１１に対する接触状態に影響を与えない。逆に、操作体４を図５のＹ方向一方側に移動させたとすると、Ｙ方向一方側の直線駆動スライダー３０及び駆動体７によって、Ｙ方向一方側の接点部品８の接点部１１に対する接触状態が切り替わることとなる。   In this case, since the driving body 7 on one side in the Y direction only slides on a substantially horizontal portion of the contact part 8, it does not affect the contact state of the contact part 8 with the contact part 11. On the contrary, if the operating body 4 is moved to one side in the Y direction in FIG. 5, the contact state of the contact component 8 on the one side in the Y direction with the linear drive slider 30 and the driving body 7 on the one side in the Y direction. Will be switched.

ここでは、操作体４のＹ方向操作について説明したが、操作体４のＸ方向操作についても、同様の構成により対応する接点部品８が揺動駆動されて、接点部１１に対する接触状態が切り替わる。また、操作体４の回転方向についても、直線駆動スライダー３０と回転駆動スライダー３５が異なるだけで、駆動体７及び接点部品８のスライド駆動は同様の構成からなり、接点部品８が揺動駆動されることで接点部１１に対する接触状態が切り替わる。   Although the Y direction operation of the operating body 4 has been described here, the corresponding contact component 8 is also driven to swing by the same configuration in the X direction operation of the operating body 4 and the contact state with respect to the contact portion 11 is switched. Also, with respect to the rotation direction of the operation body 4, only the linear drive slider 30 and the rotation drive slider 35 are different, and the slide drive of the drive body 7 and the contact part 8 has the same configuration, and the contact part 8 is driven to swing. As a result, the contact state with respect to the contact portion 11 is switched.

操作体４の操作に伴い変化する接点部品８の接点部１１に対する接触状態を検出することにより、操作体４の操作を検出することができ、図示しない出力端子から所定の信号が出力される。   By detecting the contact state of the contact part 8 with respect to the contact portion 11 that changes with the operation of the operation body 4, the operation of the operation body 4 can be detected, and a predetermined signal is output from an output terminal (not shown).

このように、操作体４のＸ方向とＹ方向及び左右回転方向の操作について、いずれも横方向のスライド動作をそのまま接点部１１の切替に用いるようにしたので、横方向動作を縦方向動作に切り替える必要がなく、多方向操作部品の薄型化を図ることができる。また、接点部１１及び接点部品８を下ケース３内に納めるようにしたので、部品をコンパクト化してさらなる薄型化も図ることができる。   As described above, since the slide operation in the horizontal direction is used for the switching of the contact portion 11 as it is for the operation in the X direction, the Y direction, and the left-right rotation direction of the operation body 4, the horizontal operation is changed to the vertical operation. There is no need to switch, and the multi-directional operation component can be made thinner. Moreover, since the contact part 11 and the contact component 8 were accommodated in the lower case 3, components can be reduced in size and further reduced in thickness.

以上、本発明の実施形態について説明したが、本発明の適用は本実施形態には限られず、その技術的思想の範囲内において様々に適用されうるものである。   Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the application of the present invention is not limited to this embodiment, and can be applied in various ways within the scope of its technical idea.
