<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To adjust a reaction force applied to the lever of an operating device that commands braking and driving forces through lever operation. <P>SOLUTION: The column 14 of a lever is pivotally supported by a joint so that the lever can tilt in all directions. A sponge member 18 is disposed so as to surround the column 14 of the lever. The column 14 is energized toward a neutral position from all directions by the sponge member 18. A pair of storage members 22 are opposed to each other across the column 14 along a specific direction in which the lever is tilted, so that they receive the column 14 that will fall down when the lever is tilted in the specific direction. A spring 20 is attached to the back of each storage member 22 opposite to the column of the lever. The spring 20 is oriented in the specific direction and applies a reaction force to the lever via the storage member 22. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
