<p>A manual input device (1) which comprises a mechanism, a major function select switch (2), a confirm switch (3), a display unit (4), and a controller (5). The mechanism is composed of: a laterally movable motor (14) for applying an external force which is mounted on a frame (22); a knob (16) fitted to a drive shaft of the motor (14); an encoder (20) for detecting rotation of the knob (16); a stick controller (21a) for detecting lateral movement of the motor; a first guide plate (25) and a second guide plate (26) for limiting a range of movement of the knob (16); and a first solenoid (23) and a second solenoid (24) for driving the guide plates (25,26) individually. The guide groove pattern is different between the first and second guide plates (25,26). The range in which the knob can be moved when the first guide plate (25) only is engaged with the drive shaft (14a) of the motor (14) is different from that when both the first (25) and second (26) guide plates are engaged with the drive shaft (14a) of the motor (14). <IMAGE></p> |
