Transmission mechanism, lever mechanism, and contactless lever switch

A transmission mechanism for moving an object to be moved, the transmission mechanism comprising:

• a first rocking member with a rod shape that includes one end at which the object to be moved is disposed, the first rocking member extending in a first direction;
• and
• a first supporting body and a second supporting body that rockably support the first rocking member at two different positions in the first direction of the first rocking member,
• wherein:
• the first supporting body receives an input due to displacement and moves in a direction intersecting with the first direction;
• the second supporting body is disposed closer to the one end than the first supporting body is in the first supporting body and the second supporting body, and serves as a rocking fulcrum of the first rocking member when the first supporting body moves,
• the second supporting body rockably supports the first rocking member by at least two axes constituted by a first axis and a second axis whose directions are different from each other;
• a first distance between the one end of the first rocking member and the second supporting body is shorter than a second distance between the first supporting body and the second supporting body,
• the first rocking member is rocked to move the object to be moved by an amount of displacement smaller than an amount of displacement inputted to the first supporting body which is located on a side of the other end of the first rocking member in the first supporting body and the second supporting body,
• the first supporting body receives a first input due to movement along a second direction intersecting with the first direction, and receives a second input due to movement along a third direction intersecting with the first direction and the second direction;
• in the second supporting body, the first rocking member is rocked, by the first input, about the first axis, which is one of the first axis and the second axis, as a fulcrum to move the object to be moved along the second direction different from the first direction;
• in the first supporting body, the first rocking member is rocked, by receiving the second input whose direction is different from a direction of the first input, about the second axis different from the first axis as a fulcrum to move the object to be moved in the third direction different from the first direction and the second direction,
• one of the first supporting body and the second supporting body receives a third input due to movement along the first direction, and
• the first rocking member is moved, by the third input, along the first direction and slid with respect to the other of the first supporting body and the second supporting body to move the object to be moved along the first direction.

A lever mechanism comprising:

• a first transmission mechanism comprising:
• a first rocking member with a rod shape that includes one end at which an object to be moved is disposed, the first rocking member extending in a first direction;
• and
• a first supporting body and a second supporting body that rockably support the first rocking member at two different positions in the first direction of the first rocking member;
• and
• a lever that is supported to be rockable according to movement of a handle portion about two axes constituted by a third axis and a fourth axis whose directions are different from each other and gives the displacement to the first supporting body,
• wherein:
• the first supporting body receives an input due to displacement and moves in a direction intersecting with the first direction,
• the second supporting body is disposed closer to the one end than the first supporting body is in the first supporting body and the second supporting body, and serves as a rocking fulcrum of the first rocking member when the first supporting body moves,
• the second supporting body rockably supports the first rocking member by at least two axes constituted by a first axis and a second axis whose directions are different from each other;
• a first distance between the one end of the first rocking member and the second supporting body is shorter than a second distance between the first supporting body and the second supporting body,
• the first rocking member is rocked to move the object to be moved by an amount of displacement smaller than an amount of displacement inputted to the first supporting body which is located on a side of the other end of the first rocking member in the first supporting body and the second supporting body,
• the first supporting body receives a first input due to movement along a second direction intersecting with the first direction, and receives a second input due to movement along a third direction intersecting with the first direction and the second direction,
• in the second supporting body, the first rocking member is rocked, by the first input, about the first axis, which is one of;
• the first axis and the second axis, as a fulcrum to move the object to be moved along the second direction different from the first direction,
• in the first supporting body, the first rocking member is rocked, by receiving the second input whose direction is different from a direction of the first input, about the second axis different from the first axis as a fulcrum to move the object to be moved in the third direction different from the first direction and the second direction, and
• one of the first supporting body and the second supporting body receives a third input due to movement along the first direction,
• the first rocking member is moved, by the third input, along the first direction and slid with respect to the other of the first supporting body and the second supporting body to move the object to be moved along the first direction, and
• the lever is:
• rocked about the third axis, which is one of in the two axes;
• the third axis and the fourth axis, as a fulcrum to apply the first input to the first transmission mechanism, and
• rocked about the fourth axis as a fulcrum in the two axes to apply the second input to the first transmission mechanism.
