When the control rod 55 is not operated, the control rod 55 is upright from the hole 56 of the upper frame body 30, and as shown by the solid line in FIG. 3, the outer peripheral edge of the bottom surface of the operation body 37, that is, the collar portion 54. The lower end of the rising portion of and the return member 47 are in contact with each other at point a.

When the operating shaft 36 is tilted, for example, in the clockwise direction by operating the control lever 55 from this state, the collar portion 54 of the operating body 37 pushes the return member 47 to move downward against the elasticity of the return spring 53. Then, the collar portion 54 is pressed against the return member 47 at a point b which is a position on the line cc orthogonal to the bottom surface of the return member 47 through the point a.

The embodiment of the present invention has the above-described structure, and the recess 37a is formed in the center of the surface of the operating body 37 facing the return member 47. Since there is no swelling in the central portion of the bottom surface of the operating body 37 that serves as an escape portion, the contact between the operating body 37 and the return member 47 is normally maintained. Even if foreign matter such as dust is caught in the central portion of the operating body 37, the presence of the recess 37a does not affect the contact between the returning member 47 and the operating body 37.

Therefore, in the neutral state, the operating body 37 is pressed upward by the return member 47 via the return spring 53 in the direction perpendicular to the bottom surface of the lower frame body 49. Therefore, the operating shaft 36 does not incline and project with respect to the upper surface of the upper frame body 30.

Further, on the outer periphery of the operating body 37, a collar portion 54 having an arc-shaped portion having a radius of curvature larger than a radius connecting the rotation center of the operating shaft 36 and the outer peripheral edge of the bottom surface of the bottom surface 37 of the operating body 37 is provided. When tilted, the collar portion 54 of the operating body 37 pushes the return member 47 downwardly along the line cc passing through the point a and orthogonal to the bottom surface of the return member 47. The pressing force of the return member 47 accompanying the inclination of the shaft 36 changes substantially linearly according to the force of the return spring 53. Therefore, the return force of the control rod 55 is also a return spring.
The return member 47 pushes up the operating body 37 at a point b on the line cc which is linearly changed according to the force of 53 and is sufficiently far from the imaginary center line passing through the intersection point O and acts on the operating body 37. The moment is increased and a strong restoring force is obtained. Further, the contact point b between the collar portion 54 of the operating body 37 and the returning member 47 is on the line cc depending on the tilting angle of the control rod 55 and does not approach in the axial direction of the operating shaft 36. There is no possibility of unrecoverableness due to exceeding the virtual center line passing through the intersection point O, and the tilt angle of the operating shaft 36 can be made larger than in the conventional case by these. The present invention can also be applied to the case where the tilt directions of the operation shaft are only the X direction and the Y direction which are orthogonal to each other.

Further, although the variable resistor is used as the rotary type detector in the present embodiment, the present invention is not limited to these, and a rotary type switch or encoder may be used as the rotary type detector. The number of the detectors may be three or four.

また、つまみとして軸状の操縦杆を用いて説明したが、
つまみの形状は例えば球状,皿形等種々考えられる。
Also, the explanation was given using the shaft-shaped control rod as the knob,
Various shapes such as a spherical shape and a dish shape can be considered for the knob.

1. A first structure in which at least one set of rotary type detectors is attached to side surfaces of the frame body which intersect at right angles, and one end of a rotary shaft of the rotary type detector is rotatably attached in the frame body at right angles to each other. Then, the operation shaft engaged with the end portion of the second interlocking member and projected from the hole provided on the upper surface of the frame body is engaged with the first and second interlocking members to move the operation shaft. By rotating in any direction, the rotary detectors can be simultaneously adjusted via the first and second interlocking members, and the vertical detector is provided so as to be vertically movable with respect to the bottom of the frame body. The return member urged in the direction of separation, the operating body provided at the end of the operating shaft, and the opposing surfaces of the operating body and the returning member are elastically contacted with each other via a return spring. In a multi-directional input device in which an operator automatically returns to a neutral position, the return portion of the operating body Multidirectional input device being characterized in that a recess in the central portion of the surface facing the.
