<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multidirectional input structure in which adjacent switches are prevented from being pushed simultaneously.SOLUTION: The multidirectional input structure comprises: a key 1 having a plurality of pushed sites set; push button switches 9 provided corresponding to the pushed sites respectively; switch push-in parts 1c1-1c4 provided corresponding to the push button switches respectively; support posts formed protruding toward the key 1; a fixed member 7 contacting the tips of the support posts; a panel 53 having an opening part 53a for exposing the key 1; and hinge bodies 1h1-1h4 provided to extend in a longitudinal direction, in a vertical direction or a lateral direction of the top of the key. The pushed site is pushed in to turn the key 1 around a contact point among the support posts and the fixed member 7 so that the switch push-in part 1c4 pushes and turns on the push button switch 9. A non-pushed site is pushed in to turn the key 1 around a contact point between the support post 1d4 and the fixed member 7 so that the key 1 and the panel 53 contact with each other in advance to be prohibited from rotating so as not to turn on the push button switch 9.</p> |
