<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an input device with switch which always enables the switch to operate preferentially and is adaptive to a zoom mechanism, etc., of image pickup video equipment. SOLUTION: The input device with the switch comprises a lever member 1, a 1st operation part 2 fixed to the upper end part of the lever member 1, a flexible wiring board 3 bonded to the reverse surfaces of the lever member 1, a 2nd operation part 4 put in the lever member 1, a return spring 5 which energizes the 2nd operation part 4 always upward, a damper 6 which is pressed by the 2nd operation part 4, a holder 7 which holds the respective members 1 to 6 in one body, a membrane 8 which turns on and off the switch by the 2nd operation part 4, and a backing plate 9 for the membrane 8. While no operation is done, the 2nd operation part 4 is projected outward from a through hole 21 bored in the 1st operation part 2 with the elastic force of the return spring 5. When the operation is done, the 2nd operation part 4 is pressed into the 1st operation part 2 by the hand or fingers of an operator to turn on the switch 66 and then the 1st operation part 2 is touched by the hand or fingers of the operator so that the operator can operate the lever member.</p> |
