<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multidirectional input device, and its assembly method, capable of automatically resetting an operating body making a slide operation, with an operation area widely taken with little deviation of operating force by operating directions, and that, with an excellent assembling property. <P>SOLUTION: Inside a chassis 10, a large-diameter part 13a of the operating body 13, a circular coil spring 14 surrounding the large-diameter part 13a, and detection means such as sliding pieces 17, 18 detecting a slide direction and a slide volume of the operating body 13. A jig insertion hole 10c for letting in an assembling jig 30 for preliminarily retaining the circular coil spring 14 at assembly is provided beforehand at a chassis 10. When the operating body 13 is operated to slide through a protruded part 13b protruded from an opening 10b of the chassis 10, the large-diameter part 13a pushes in the circular coil spring 14 located in its sliding direction to extend it, so that, when the operating force is removed, the operating body 13 automatically returns to the initial position by the restoring force of the circular coil spring 14. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
