Abstract
An input detecting device includes an input section where position input is performed, a position detecting section included in the input section and detecting an input position regarding at least the position input, a rotary member mounted on the input section so as to be rotatable and including an operation surface on an outer peripheral surface thereof with which a rotating operation is performed, a rotation detection section that is rotatable together with the rotary member with respect to the input section and a position of which is detected by the position detecting section, and an extended section extending laterally from the operation surface so as to be disposed between the operation surface and the input section.
Claims14
An input detecting device comprising:
- an input section where position input is performed;
- a position detecting section included in the input section and detecting an input position regarding at least the position input;
- a rotary member mounted on the input section so as to be rotatable and including an operation surface on an outer peripheral surface thereof with which a rotating operation is performed;
- a rotation detection section that is rotatable together with the rotary member with respect to the input section and a position of which is detected by the position detecting section;
- an extended section extending laterally from the operation surface so as to be disposed between the operation surface and the input section;
- a fixed member that is fixed to the input section and where the rotary member is mounted to be rotatable;
- and
- a latch member including a pair of support portions that are fixed to the fixed member, and an arm portion that connects the pair of support portions, wherein
- the arm portion has a substantially plan view V-shape, and includes a contact portion at a V-shaped protruding portion,
- the contact portion is contacted with an inner peripheral surface of the rotary member,
- the inner peripheral surface of the rotary member has recesses and projections that are arranged alternately in a rotation direction of the rotary member, and
- when the rotary member rotates, the contact portion slides on the recesses and the projections such as latch sound is created.
