By the way, when the control rod 12, that is, the knob is shortened for the purpose of thinning the device, it is necessary to increase the tilt angle of the operation shaft 3 in order to easily perform fine operation. When the tilt angle of the operating shaft 3 is increased in this way, the pressing position of the disk 10 against the returning member 16 rapidly approaches the center of the returning member 16, and when the vicinity of the central part is reached, the operating shaft 3 becomes upright. If the operating force of the operating shaft 3 exceeds the central portion, the operating shaft 3 will be unable to return to the upright state.
Therefore, this conventional structure has a problem in that the tilt angle of the operation shaft 3 cannot be made large and the device cannot be made thin in consideration of fine operability.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention attaches at least one set of rotary type detectors to adjacent side surfaces of a frame body, and one end of a rotary shaft of the rotary type detector is orthogonal to each other in the frame body. The operating shafts engaged with the ends of the first and second interlocking members rotatably attached to each other and projecting from the holes provided in the upper surface of the frame body to the first and second interlocking members. Accordingly, by rotating the operation shaft in an arbitrary direction, the rotary detectors can be simultaneously adjusted via the first and second interlocking members,
In addition, in a non-operating state, in the multi-directional input device in which the operating shaft is automatically returned to the neutral position, the multi-directional input device is provided so as to be vertically movable with respect to the bottom portion of the frame body, and is biased in a direction away from the bottom portion. A return member and an operating body having an arc-shaped brim portion around a circular bottom surface are provided at the lower end of the operating shaft, and the brim portion of the operating body connects the rotation center of the operating shaft and the outer peripheral edge of the bottom surface. It has an arcuate portion having a radius of curvature larger than the radius, and the collar portion and the return member are pressed against each other via a return spring.

According to the present invention, when the operation shaft is in the neutral state,
When the bottom surface of the operating body is pressed against the upper surface of the return member and the operating shaft is tilted, the arc-shaped portion of the collar portion provided outside from the peripheral portion of the bottom portion of the operating body has a bottom outer peripheral edge of the operating body in the neutral state. Since the return member is pressed at a position on the line which is substantially perpendicular to the return member from the point of contact with the return member, a large moment for returning the operating body can be obtained regardless of the tilt angle of the operation shaft.

また、操作軸を倒した場合、操作体と復帰部材との接触

Further, when the operation shaft is tilted, the contact position between the operating body and the return member is substantially constant and does not move much in the neutral direction of the urging member, so that it is not possible to return beyond the center of the urging member. As a result, the tilt angle of the operating shaft can be increased.

The embodiment of the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, and has an arc-shaped portion having a radius of curvature larger than the radius connecting the rotation center of the operating shaft 36 and the outer peripheral edge of the bottom surface of the operating body 37 on the outer periphery of the operating body 37. Tsubabe 54
When the control rod 55 is tilted, the collar portion 54 of the operating body 37
Since the return member 47 is pressed so as to move downward along the line cc orthogonal to the bottom surface of the return member 47 through the point, the pressing force of the return member 47 due to the inclination of the operating shaft 36 is the return spring. It changes almost linearly according to the force of 53. Therefore, the return force of the control lever 55 also changes linearly according to the force of the return spring 53,
Moreover, it is sufficiently separated from the virtual center line passing through the intersection point c.
Since the return member 47 pushes up the operating body 37 at the point b on the −c line, the moment acting on the operating body 37 increases and a strong restoring force can be obtained. Furthermore, the contact point b between the collar portion 54 of the operating body 37 and the return 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 case where the above-mentioned imaginary center line passing through the intersection point O is exceeded and irreversible failure does not occur, and thus the tilt angle of the operating shaft 36 can be made larger than in the conventional case. The present invention can also be applied to the case where the tilt directions of the operation axis 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 this, 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.

1. A first mounting wherein at least one set of rotary type detectors is attached to adjacent side surfaces of a frame body, 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 arbitrary directions, the rotary detectors can be simultaneously adjusted via the first and second interlocking members, and when not operated, the operation shaft is automatically returned to the neutral position. In the multi-directional input device, a return member provided so as to be vertically movable with respect to the bottom of the frame body and biased in a direction away from the bottom, and an arc-shaped collar around a circular bottom surface at the lower end of the operation shaft. An operating body having a portion is provided, and a collar portion of the operating body has a rotation center of the operating shaft and the bottom surface. Has a large becomes arcuate portion radius of curvature than the radius connecting the periphery, multidirectional input device which is characterized in that allowed pressure via a return spring and the return member and the collar portion
