<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an input device which is excellent in portability and storage performance, secures sufficient operation strokes to provide improved input operability. <P>SOLUTION: The input device includes: an input body part 1 in which a plurality of unfolding parts 3 piled on one another are unfolded in such a way that they are foldable in a fan shape while rotating around a pivot 4, and the boundary parts between the unfolding parts 3 are folded by turns in mountain parts 5 and valley parts 6; and a plurality of contact point parts 2 which are provided at parts corresponding to the respective mountain parts 5 in the input body part 1 and become conductive when the parts corresponding to the mountain parts 5 are pressed and elastically deformed. Thus, by folding the unfolding parts 3 on top of one another, the input device can be compact when it is carried and tacked. When the unfolding parts 3 are unfolded for input operation, the moutain parts 6, positioned at the boundaries between the unfolding parts 3, can be elastically deformed such that they are crushed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
