When the control button 221 is pressed, the bevel portion of the elastic region 222a is contracted, so the upper wall will move together with the control button 221. On the other hand, when the pressure applied to the control button 221 is released, the inclined portion of the contracted elastic region 222a will elastically return to its original state, and the control button 221 is pushed upward. The elastic body 222 serves as a spring device, thereby allowing the control button 221 which has been pressed by the pressing action to return to its original position. As shown in FIGS. 9A to 9C, the conductive member 50 is connected to the back surface of the elastic body 222. The sheet member 223 composed of a film or other sheet has elasticity and insulation properties. The sheet member 223 is provided with a resistor 40 at an appropriate position.

In other words, when the force of pressing the control button 221 is weak, only the area near the 50-shaped conical top of the conductive member will touch, as shown in FIG. 9B. When the power of the holding control button 221 is weaker, the top end of the conductive member 50 is gradually deformed, and the contact surface area is enlarged. Fig. 10 shows a diagram of an equivalent circuit of a pressure-sensitive device composed of a resistor 40 and a conductive member 50. As shown in this figure, the pressure-sensitive device is inserted in series with the power supply line Π, that is, the position where the voltage VCC is supplied between the electrode operation and the osmium. As shown in this figure, the pressure-sensitive device is divided into a variable resistor 42 having a relatively small resistance 値 as compared with the conductive member 50, and a fixed resistor 41 having a relatively large resistance 比 as a specific resistance β 40. Among them, the variable resistor 42 part is equal to the electric contact between the resistor and the conductive member%, so the resistance of the pressure-sensitive device will change with the contact surface area with the conductive member. When the conductive member 50 contacts the resistor 40, the conductive member 50 becomes a bridge and a current instead of the resistor 40 in the contact portion, so that the resistance 値 of the contact portion becomes small. Therefore, the larger the contact surface area between the electric ancestor 40 and the conductive member 50, the smaller the resistance 値 of the pressure-sensitive device. In this method, it is understood that the entire pressure-sensitive device functions as a variable resistor.

In the specific embodiment of the car, it will be close to the variable resistor 42 and the fixed resistor 41. The output boundary is equipped with an output terminal, that is, when the resistance 40 is near the middle point. In this way, the voltage from the supply voltage να is reduced by the variable resistor. The analog signal of the power of control button 221. First, when the power is turned on, since the voltage is supplied to the resistor 40, even if the control button 221 is not pressed, a fixed analog signal (voltage) v_ is provided as the output of the output terminal 40c. Next, even if the control button 221 is pressed, the resistance 値 of the resistor cent will not change unless the conductive member 50 contacts the resistor 40, so the output from the resistor 40 remains unchanged. If the control button 221 is further pressed and the conductive member 50 contacts the resistor 40, the contact surface area between the conductive member 50 and the resistor 仞 is increased to reflect the force of holding down the control button 221, thereby reducing the resistance The resistance of the resistor 40 is high, so the analog signal (voltage) output from the resistor 40 output terminal 4c will increase. At this time, when the conductive member 50 has been deformed to the limit, the analog signal (voltage) output from the resistor 40 output terminal 4c reaches the maximum value 値 Vmax.

In addition, an output terminal 4c is provided between the variable resistors 43 and 44, and an analog signal corresponding to the pressure of pressing the individual control key 2Ua (control element) is provided as an output of the output terminal 4c. The output of the output terminal 40c is calculated from the sharing ratio of the resistances 値 of the first and second variable resistors 43 and 44.

The output of 40 is maintained at v0 without change. If the up arrow or the left arrow is pressed until the conductive member 50 contacts the resistor 40 and the resistor 43 is located (position p in the figure), then the conductive member 50 and the first variable resistor 43 The contact surface area between the parts is increased to reflect the force of holding the control key 21 la (control element) in this way to reduce the resistance of the first variable resistor 43.
