PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a multidirectional input device capable of automatically resetting an operating body making a slide operation, with an excellent operability and high reliability. SOLUTION: A barrier rib 10d provided in a chassis 10 is partitioned into a first hollow part 21 and a second hollow part 22, in which former, a circular coil spring 14 for automatically resetting an operating body 13 is built in, and in which latter, a detection means including a pair of sliders 15, 16 capable of sliding in directions crossing each other is built in. The operating body 13 is provided with a large-diameter part 13a arranged at the first hollow part 21, a protruded part 13 protruded from an outside opening 10b to be given an operating force, and a driving part 13c extended to the second hollow part 22 for driving the sliders 15, 16. At slide operation, the large-diameter part 13a pushes in the circular coil spring 14 in the sliding direction to extend (elastically deform) it. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
