Abstract

A knob (31) is turnable about an axis. A cam mechanism (36) has a cam face (360) configured to displace a slider (34) in a direction along the axis in accordance with a turning action of the knob (31). A click-feeling generation mechanism (37) is configured to increase resistance to an actuation for turning the knob (31) as the slider (34) arrives each of multiple prescribed positions. The cam face (360) has a first section (S1) and a second section (S2) in which a displacement amount of the slider (34) per unit turning angle of the knob (31) is changed. The first section (S1) and the second section (S2) are associated with a click-feeling generative position at which the resistance is increased by the click-feeling generation mechanism (37).

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
