Abstract
A pointing device includes: a substrate; an operation member that is provided tiltably with respect to the substrate, and includes a protrusion protruded from one of an inner wall and an outer wall; and a rotation member that is provided rotatably on the substrate, and includes a hole which the protrusion enters when the rotation member overlaps the operation member; wherein the rotation member rotates in conjunction with the operation member when the protrusion contacts an edge of the hole according to rotation of the operation member, wherein the hole is formed in a range in which the protrusion is movable by tilt of the operation member.
Claims7
A pointing device comprising:
- a substrate;
- an operation member that is provided tiltably with respect to the substrate, and includes an inner wall, an outer wall, and a protrusion protruded from one of the inner wall and the outer wall;
- and
- a rotation member that is provided rotatably on the substrate, has a cylindrical shape, and includes a hole which the protrusion enters when the rotation member overlaps the operation member;
- wherein the rotation member rotates in conjunction with the operation member when the protrusion contacts an edge of the hole according to rotation of the operation member,
- wherein the hole is formed in a range in which the protrusion is movable by tilt of the operation member.
A pointing device comprising:
- a substrate;
- an operation member that includes a base with a first protrusion, and is provided tiltably with respect to the substrate;
- and
- a housing member that biases the first protrusion toward the substrate and houses the base;
- wherein a second protrusion is provided on an inner peripheral surface of the housing member so as to avoid a range in which the first protrusion is movable by tilt of the operation member,
- wherein the housing member rotates in conjunction with the operation member when the first protrusion directly contacts the second protrusion according to rotation of the operation member.
