Abstract
An input device adopts a low cost and simple terminal design to replace the conventional grating and instruction switch structures that are costly and complicated. The input device includes a braced rotary member turnable, tiltable leftwards and rightwards, and movable upwards and downwards for selected displacements and an instruction mechanism located within the displacements to receive forces and be driven by the rotary member to generate instructions. The instruction mechanism has abutting mechanical terminals to contact with each other to generate instruction signal output.
Claims19
An input device located in an electronic input equipment, comprising:
- a bracing seat;
- a rotary member held on the bracing seat turnable, tiltable leftwards and rightwards, and movable upwards and downwards relative to the vertical bracing seat for selected displacements;
- and
- a terminal instruction mechanism mounted onto the bracing seat to receive forces to extend into the displacements having at least two abutting terminals corresponding to the movements of the rotary member to contact with each other to generate instruction signal output.
An input device located in an electronic input equipment comprising a braced rotary member turnable, tiltable leftwards and rightwards, and movable upwards and downwards relative to the electronic input equipment for selected displacements, and an instruction mechanism located in the selected displacements to receive forces and be driven by the rotary member to generate instructions;
- wherein the instruction mechanism has abutting mechanical terminals to contact with each other to generate the instructions.
