以下、本考案の一実施例を図１乃至図６を参照して説明する。 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
【０００９】 図１及び図２において、１は上面に窓孔２を有するプラスチック製の筐体を示 しており、この筐体１の内部には可動体３が設けられている。この可動体３は、 図３に示すように、バケット状に形成されている。可動体３の側部には互いに平 行に一対の耳片３ａが突設されており、これら一対の耳片３ａ，３ａの間には両 者間を繋ぐように支持バー５が固設されている。In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a plastic housing having a window 2 on its upper surface, and a movable body 3 is provided inside the housing 1. The movable body 3 is formed in a bucket shape as shown in FIG. A pair of ear pieces 3a is provided so as to project in parallel to each other on a side portion of the movable body 3, and a support bar 5 is fixedly provided between the pair of ear pieces 3a, 3a so as to connect the two. ing.
【００１０】 この支持バー５は、図１及び図４からも明らかなように、筐体１に突設された ２つの受け片１ａと押え片１ｂとの間に挟み込まれ、受け片１ａは下側から支持 バー５を支持し、押え片１ｂは上側から支持バー５を支持し、これにより可動体 ３は支持バー５を中心にして矢印Ｂの方向に揺動するように支持されている。As is apparent from FIGS. 1 and 4, the support bar 5 is sandwiched between two receiving pieces 1 a protruding from the housing 1 and a holding piece 1 b, and the receiving piece 1 a is lowered. The support bar 5 is supported from the side, and the holding piece 1b supports the support bar 5 from the upper side, whereby the movable body 3 is supported so as to swing in the direction of arrow B around the support bar 5.
【００１１】 また図３に示すように、可動体３の一方の壁３ｘにはやや大きめの受け溝４ａ が形成されると共に、他方の壁３ｙには小さめの受け溝４ｂが形成されており、 それぞれの受け溝４ａ，４ｂ内には、図２からも明らかなように、第１操作体１ １と第２操作体１３とからなる棒状の操作体７が回転自在に支持されている。即 ち、第２操作体１３は、一方１３ｘの直径が他方１３ｙの直径よりも大きく形成 されており、一方１３ｘはやや大きめの受け溝４ａ内に支持され、他方１３ｙは 小さめの受け溝４ｂ内に支持されている。この第２操作体１３の外周の一部は筐 体１の窓孔２から外部に臨んでいる。Further, as shown in FIG. 3, a slightly larger receiving groove 4a is formed on one wall 3x of the movable body 3, and a smaller receiving groove 4b is formed on the other wall 3y. In each of the receiving grooves 4a and 4b, as apparent from FIG. 2, a rod-shaped operating body 7 including a first operating body 11 and a second operating body 13 is rotatably supported. That is, the second operating body 13 is formed such that the diameter of the one 13x is larger than the diameter of the other 13y, one 13x is supported in the slightly larger receiving groove 4a, and the other 13y is in the smaller receiving groove 4b. Supported by. A part of the outer circumference of the second operating body 13 is exposed from the window hole 2 of the casing 1 to the outside.
【００１２】 第１操作体１１は、図５に示すように、筐体１の仕切り壁１ｃに形成されたＵ 字溝１２内に下側から挿入され、これによれば横方向の移動が阻止されており、 上下方向には後述する傘歯車２１，２３により支持されている。As shown in FIG. 5, the first operating body 11 is inserted from below into a U-shaped groove 12 formed in the partition wall 1c of the housing 1, which prevents lateral movement. It is supported in the vertical direction by bevel gears 21 and 23 described later.
【００１３】 第２操作体１３の図２中で右端は中空であり、この中空部内には第１操作体１ １の左端が遊嵌され、第１，２操作体１１，１３の連結部１４は、図６に示すよ うに構成されている。即ち、第１操作体１１の端部には３方向に延びる羽根１１ ａ，１１ｂ，１１ｃが一体的に形成されると共に、これら３つの羽根１１ａ〜１ １ｃは、第２操作体１３の端部に形成された３方向に延びる受け孔１３ａ，１３ ｂ，１３ｃに係合するようになっている。The right end of the second operating body 13 in FIG. 2 is hollow, and the left end of the first operating body 11 is loosely fitted in this hollow portion, and the connecting portion 14 of the first and second operating bodies 11, 13 is connected. Is configured as shown in FIG. That is, the blades 11 a, 11 b, and 11 c extending in three directions are integrally formed at the end of the first operating body 11, and these three blades 11 a to 11 c are the end of the second operating body 13. It is adapted to engage with the receiving holes 13a, 13b, 13c formed in 3 directions extending in three directions.
【００１４】 ここで、第１，２操作体１１，１３を一体的に回転させる際には、第２操作体 １３を矢印Ａの方向に回転させればよい。これによれば、第２操作体１３の受け 孔１３ａ〜１３ｃの側壁に、第１操作体１１の羽根１１ａ〜１１ｃがそれぞれ当 接するので、各羽根１１ａ〜１１ｃを介して、第１操作体１１が一緒に回転され る。これが互いに連結された状態である。Here, when the first and second operating bodies 11 and 13 are integrally rotated, the second operating body 13 may be rotated in the direction of arrow A. According to this, since the blades 11a to 11c of the first operating body 11 are in contact with the side walls of the receiving holes 13a to 13c of the second operating body 13, respectively, the first operating body 11 is passed through the respective blades 11a to 11c. Are rotated together. This is a state in which they are connected to each other.
【００１５】 第１操作体１１に対して第２操作体１３が軸方向に移動される際には両者の連 絡は解除される。この際、第１，２操作体１１，１３の連結部１４には、図６か らも明らかなように、隙間δａ〜δｃがあるので、第１，２操作体１１，１３の 間の連結の解除は極めてスムーズである。When the second operating body 13 is moved in the axial direction with respect to the first operating body 11, the connection between the two is released. At this time, since the gaps δa to δc are present in the connecting portion 14 of the first and second operating bodies 11 and 13, as shown in FIG. 6, the connection between the first and second operating bodies 11 and 13 is made. The release of is extremely smooth.
【００１６】 また第１，２操作体１１，１３はその軸線に直交する方向に相対的に変位する ことができる。この場合には、第１操作体１１が仕切り壁１ｃのＵ字溝１２内に 嵌め込まれると共に、上下方向には傘歯車２１，傘歯車２３を介して支持される のに対し、第２操作体１３は可動体３に支持されるので、操作体７のほぼ中央を 下に押すと、第１操作体１１は固定で、第２操作体１３だけが可動体３と共に下 方に変位する。この場合に、可動体３は支持バー５の回りを矢印Ｂの方向（図４ に示す）に揺動するが、図６に示すように、第１操作体１１の羽根１１ａ〜１１ ｃの先端と、第２操作体１３の受け孔１３ａ〜１３ｃの孔壁との間には、所定の 間隙が形成されているので、第１，２操作体１１，１３の相対的な変位は極めて スムーズに行われる。Further, the first and second operating bodies 11 and 13 can be relatively displaced in a direction orthogonal to their axes. In this case, the first operating body 11 is fitted into the U-shaped groove 12 of the partition wall 1c and is supported in the vertical direction via the bevel gear 21 and the bevel gear 23, whereas the second operating body is supported. Since 13 is supported by the movable body 3, when the center of the operating body 7 is pushed downward, the first operating body 11 is fixed and only the second operating body 13 is displaced downward together with the movable body 3. In this case, the movable body 3 swings around the support bar 5 in the direction of the arrow B (shown in FIG. 4), but as shown in FIG. 6, the tip ends of the blades 11a to 11c of the first operating body 11. And a predetermined gap is formed between the receiving holes 13a to 13c of the second operating body 13 and the hole walls thereof, the relative displacement of the first and second operating bodies 11 and 13 is extremely smooth. Done.
【００１７】 第１操作体１１の端部には、図２に示すように、駆動傘歯車２１が連結されて おり、この駆動傘歯車２１には垂直軸２２の回りを回転する従動傘歯車２３が噛 合されている。この従動傘歯車２３の下面には可動接点（図示せず）が止着され ており、この可動接点に対向する基板上にはパターンが印刷されている。そして 歯車２３の回転に伴って可動接点がパターン上を移動すると、その回転角に応じ た異なる信号が出力され、これにより回転角が判断される。As shown in FIG. 2, a driving bevel gear 21 is connected to an end of the first operating body 11, and a driven bevel gear 23 that rotates around a vertical shaft 22 is connected to the driving bevel gear 21. Are meshed. A movable contact (not shown) is fixed to the lower surface of the driven bevel gear 23, and a pattern is printed on the substrate facing the movable contact. When the movable contact moves on the pattern as the gear 23 rotates, a different signal corresponding to the rotation angle is output, and the rotation angle is determined.
【００１８】 これにより第１，２操作体１１，１３が一体的に回転される際に作動してその 回転動作を検出する第１の検出機構が構成されている。尚このスイッチはロータ リーエンコーダで構成してもよい。This constitutes a first detection mechanism that operates when the first and second operating bodies 11 and 13 are integrally rotated and detects the rotational movement thereof. The switch may be a rotary encoder.
【００１９】 第２操作体１３は、上述したように第１，２操作体１１，１３の連結が解除さ れる際に、第１操作体１１に対して軸方向に移動できるように形成されている。 この第２操作体１３の端部にはＶ字溝２５が刻設され、このＶ字溝２５の近傍に は板ばね状の可動接点２７ａと、２つの固定接点２７ｂ，２７ｃとが設けられて いる。そして、第２操作体１３の移動に伴ってＶ字溝２５が図中で左右に移動す ると、Ｖ字溝２５に係止された可動接点２７ａが左右に撓み、この可動接点２７ ａが２つの固定接点２７ｂ，２７ｃのいずれか一方に接触するよう形成されてい る。これにより第２操作体１３が軸方向に移動する際に作動してその移動を検出 する第２の検出機構が構成されている。The second operating body 13 is formed so as to be movable in the axial direction with respect to the first operating body 11 when the connection between the first and second operating bodies 11 and 13 is released as described above. There is. A V-shaped groove 25 is formed at the end of the second operating body 13, and a leaf spring-shaped movable contact 27a and two fixed contacts 27b and 27c are provided in the vicinity of the V-shaped groove 25. There is. When the V-shaped groove 25 moves to the left and right in the drawing as the second operating body 13 moves, the movable contact 27a locked in the V-shaped groove 25 bends to the left and right, and the movable contact 27a is moved. It is formed so as to come into contact with either one of the two fixed contacts 27b and 27c. This constitutes a second detection mechanism that operates when the second operating body 13 moves in the axial direction and detects the movement.
【００２０】 尚、他の実施例として、第２操作体１３の移動に伴って可動体３が一緒に移動 するように構成してもよい。この場合には、可動体３に可動接点（図示せず）を 設けると共に、この可動接点が接触自在な固定接点（図示せず）を固定部に設け て、これにより第２の検出機構を構成すればよい。As another embodiment, the movable body 3 may move together with the movement of the second operating body 13. In this case, a movable contact (not shown) is provided on the movable body 3, and a fixed contact (not shown) with which the movable contact is freely contactable is provided on the fixed portion, thereby constituting the second detection mechanism. do it.
【００２１】 更に、上述したように、可動体３は支持バー５の回りを揺動自在に形成され、 図４に示すように、可動体３が矢印の方向Ｂに揺動する際には、可動体３の先端 部３ａが筐体１の底部に設けられた接点２９を付勢するように形成されている。 これにより、可動体３が揺動される際に作動してその変位を検出する第３の検出 機構が構成されている。なお、通常時においては、可動体３は例えばゴム製のク ッション材３１などにより支持されており、付勢時には、このクッション材３１ を押し潰すようにして接点２９が付勢されるように形成されている。Further, as described above, the movable body 3 is swingably formed around the support bar 5, and as shown in FIG. 4, when the movable body 3 swings in the direction B of the arrow, The tip 3a of the movable body 3 is formed so as to urge a contact 29 provided on the bottom of the housing 1. As a result, a third detection mechanism that operates when the movable body 3 is swung to detect the displacement thereof is configured. In the normal state, the movable body 3 is supported by, for example, a cushion material 31 made of rubber, and when urged, the cushion material 31 is crushed so that the contact points 29 are urged. Has been done.
【００２２】 次に、この実施例の作用を説明する。Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
【００２３】 この複合動作スイッチは、例えばキーボードなどに組み込まれ、ディスプレー 装置上のカーソルを任意方向に移動させると共に、カーソル移動後の入力操作を 実行するのに使用される。またカーソル制御不要のＴＶ用のリモートコントロー ラなどにあっては、例えば回転方向に応じてチャンネルを切替えたり、左右移動 のスイッチにより音量を調節したりなどに使用される。The compound operation switch is incorporated in, for example, a keyboard, and is used for moving the cursor on the display device in an arbitrary direction and executing an input operation after moving the cursor. Further, in a remote controller for TV that does not require cursor control, it is used, for example, to switch channels according to the rotation direction or to adjust the volume with a switch for horizontal movement.
【００２４】 ここで、第２操作体１３を回転させることにより、第１，２操作体１１，１３ （操作体７）を一体的に回転させると、駆動傘歯車２１を介して、従動傘歯車２ ３が回転される。この従動傘歯車２３の下面には可動接点（図示せず）が設けら れており、これが回転されると従動傘歯車２３の回転角に応じた信号が出力され て、これにより回転角が判断される。Here, when the first and second operating bodies 11 and 13 (operating body 7) are integrally rotated by rotating the second operating body 13, the driven bevel gear 21 is driven via the drive bevel gear 21. 2 3 is rotated. A movable contact (not shown) is provided on the lower surface of the driven bevel gear 23, and when the movable contact is rotated, a signal corresponding to the rotation angle of the driven bevel gear 23 is output, whereby the rotation angle is determined. To be done.
【００２５】 次に、第２操作体１３を軸方向に移動させると、Ｖ字溝２５が図中で左右に移 動するので、Ｖ字溝２５に係止された可動接点２７ａが左右に撓み、この可動接 点２７ａが２つの固定接点２７ｂ，２７ｃのいずれか一方に接触する。２つの接 点２７ｂ，２７ｃは、第２の検出機構の接点であり、可動接点２７ａがいずれか の接点に接触して、これを押圧すると、これが押圧されている期間中は継続して 信号が出力される。なお、図示の例では第２操作体１３が右方向に移動すると、 可動接点２７ａが接点２７ｂに接触して、左方向に移動すると可動接点２７ａが 接点２７ｃに接触する。Next, when the second operating body 13 is moved in the axial direction, the V-shaped groove 25 moves left and right in the drawing, so that the movable contact 27a locked in the V-shaped groove 25 bends left and right. The movable contact point 27a contacts either one of the two fixed contacts 27b and 27c. The two contact points 27b and 27c are the contacts of the second detection mechanism, and when the movable contact 27a comes into contact with any one of the contacts and presses it, the signal is continuously output during the period when the movable contact 27a is pressed. Is output. In the illustrated example, when the second operating body 13 moves to the right, the movable contact 27a contacts the contact 27b, and when it moves to the left, the movable contact 27a contacts the contact 27c.
【００２６】 上記の各信号は、例えば、ディスプレイ装置のコントローラ（図示せず）に入 力され、ここで信号処理されて、これによりディスプレー装置の画面上のカーソ ルが任意の方向に移動される。このカーソルが任意の方向に移動した後、可動体 ３を揺動させると、接点２９が付勢される。この接点２９は入力操作を実行する 第３のスイッチの接点であり、通常時は、操作体７を回転させても付勢されるこ とはなく、クッション材３１を押し潰すようにして可動体３を揺動させた時にの み付勢される。Each of the above-mentioned signals is input to, for example, a controller (not shown) of the display device, and signal processing is performed there, whereby the cursor on the screen of the display device is moved in an arbitrary direction. .. When the movable body 3 is swung after the cursor moves in any direction, the contact point 29 is urged. This contact point 29 is a contact point of a third switch that executes an input operation. Normally, the contact point 29 is not urged even when the operating body 7 is rotated, and the cushion member 31 is crushed to move the movable body. Only when 3 is swung, it is energized.
【００２７】 しかして、この実施例によれば、操作体７を第１，２操作体１１，１３で形成 し、これら第１，２操作体１１，１３を、一体に又は個別に２方向に変位させる と共に、操作体７を支持する可動体３を変位自在に形成し、それぞれの変位方向 に第１〜第３のスイッチを連結したので、従来の複合動作スイッチに比べて、デ ィスプレー装置の画面上のカーソルの移動や、入力操作などを、極めて簡単にし かも一か所で同時に制御することができる。Therefore, according to this embodiment, the operating body 7 is formed by the first and second operating bodies 11 and 13, and the first and second operating bodies 11 and 13 are integrally or individually arranged in two directions. In addition to the displacement, the movable body 3 supporting the operating body 7 is formed so as to be displaceable, and the first to third switches are connected in the respective displacement directions. Therefore, compared with the conventional composite operation switch, The movement of the cursor on the screen and the input operation can be controlled extremely easily and at the same time.

【００２９】 以上、一実施例に基づいて本考案を説明したが、本考案は、これに限定される ものでないことは明らかである。例えば、上記の実施例において、可動体３は揺 動自在に支持されているが、これをばねやクッション材などにより支持して、可 動体３を上下方向などに変位自在に支持することは可能である。また、第１，２ 操作体１１，１３の連結部１４をそれぞれ３つの羽根と受け孔とで構成したが、 連結部１４にばねを介在させ、このばねの両端に第１，２操作体１１，１３の端 部を連結することにより、回転力を伝導すると共に、ばねの撓みを利用して軸方 向及びそれに直交する方向に変位自在にすることは可能である。Although the present invention has been described based on the embodiment, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the movable body 3 is swingably supported, but it is possible to support the movable body 3 with a spring, a cushion material, or the like so that the movable body 3 can be displaced in the vertical direction. Is. Further, the connecting portion 14 of each of the first and second operating bodies 11 and 13 is composed of three blades and a receiving hole, but a spring is interposed in the connecting portion 14 and the first and second operating bodies 11 are connected to both ends of the spring. It is possible to transfer the rotational force by connecting the ends of the springs 13 and 13 and to make the spring freely displaceable in the axial direction and the direction orthogonal thereto.
【００３０】[0030]
以上の説明から明らかなように、本考案によれば、操作体を３方向に変位させ ると共に、それぞれの変位方向にスイッチを連結したので、従来のスイッチに比 べて単一の複合動作スイッチにより、例えばディスプレー装置の画面上のカーソ ルの移動や入力操作などを、簡単に制御することができる。 As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention, the operating body is displaced in three directions, and the switches are connected in the respective displacement directions. This makes it possible to easily control, for example, movement of the cursor on the screen of the display device or input operation.
