Abstract
An operating device has: a lever configured to be operated by tilting; a resistor having a flat strip shape and provided on a surface of a substrate; and a slider configured to change an output voltage value by sliding on a surface of the resistor in accordance with tilting operation of the lever. In this operating device, the resistor has a low-resistance portion that has a lower resistance value than other portions of the resistor, and that is a portion in contact with the slider when the lever is in a neutral position.
Claims3
An operating device comprising:
- a lever configured to be operated by tilting;
- a resistor having a flat strip shape extending in an extending direction and provided on a surface of a substrate;
- and
- a slider configured to change a contact position along the extending direction of the resistor on a surface of the resistor by sliding on the surface of the resistor in accordance with tilting operation of the lever,
- wherein the resistor has a low-resistance portion that has a lower resistance value than other portions of the resistor because the low-resistance portion is thicker than the other portions of the resistor, the low-resistance portion in contact with the slider when the lever is in a neutral position.
