Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
181 words
An X-Y direction input device comprising a rotatable rotation operating member, a first rotary type electric part for detecting a rotational amount of said rotation operation member, a slide operating member capable of reciprocation in a direction of a rotational axis of said rotation operating member, and a second rotary type electric part for detecting an amount of movement of the slide operating member, in which a cursor displayed on a display device is moved in a suitable direction according to operating amounts of said rotation operating member and said slide operating member, said first rotary type electric part and said slide operating member holding said rotation operating member are mounted on a first driving member, a driving shaft spline coupled to said rotation operating member is supported at said first driving member, said second rotary type electric part having the rotation operating shaft resiliently biased to said slide operating member is mounted on a second driving member, and said first and second driving members are oscillatably supported and said first and second driving members are oscillated to operate a switch.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
181 words
An X-Y direction input device comprising a rotatable rotation operating member, a first rotary type electric part for detecting a rotational amount of said rotation operation member, a slide operating member capable of reciprocation in a direction of a rotational axis of said rotation operating member, and a second rotary type electric part for detecting an amount of movement of the slide operating member, in which a cursor displayed on a display device is moved in a suitable direction according to operating amounts of said rotation operating member and said slide operating member, said first rotary type electric part and said slide operating member holding said rotation operating member are mounted on a first driving member, a driving shaft spline coupled to said rotation operating member is supported at said first driving member, said second rotary type electric part having the rotation operating shaft resiliently biased to said slide operating member is mounted on a second driving member, and said first and second driving members are oscillatably supported and said first and second driving members are oscillated to operate a switch.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
38 words
An X-Y direction input device according to claim 1 in which said rotation operating member and said slide operating member are depressed to cause said first and second driving members to be similarly oscillated to operate a switch.
