Title:
OPERATION DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/203885
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
One embodiment of the present invention relates to an operation device comprising: a housing; an operation member which has a shaft part extending in one direction and is capable of a tilting action for rotating around a first rotation axis which intersects the direction of extension of said shaft part; a first linking member which rotates in response to the tilting operation of the operation member and has a first axial support part supported by the housing so as to be capable of rotating around the first rotation axis; a recovery member which imparts a recovery force to the operation member by which the operation member recovers to a neutral position; a biasing member which imparts the recovery force to the operation member via the recovery member; and a first rotation detection unit which detects the rotation of the first linking member. The recovery member comprises: a bottom section which contacts the end section of the operation member on one side in the extension direction; and a receiving section which receives one end of the biasing member and is provided in the periphery of the bottom section. The biasing member imparts the recovery force to the operation member, and causes a plurality of engaging parts provided to the outer-peripheral side of the receiving section to elastically engage with the housing. As a result, it is possible to stabilize the sliding action of the recovery member and suppress variation in the recovery of the operation member to the neutral position.
