Input device for use in a computer system

摘要

An input device for inputting information corresponding to a direction of inclination and an angle of inclination of a movable part into devices such as a computer. The input device includes a substantially spherical part (7) provided at a lower end of said movable part; bearing means (8) which rotatably supports said substantially spherical part of said movable part; a recovery means (3a, 4) which rotates said substantially spherical part within said bearing means so as to recover the upright position of the movable part; and inclination detecting means which detects a direction of inclination and an angle of inclination of said movable part. <IMAGE>
