PURPOSE:To improve operability of an operating panel by providing a driving mechanism for moving vertically the operating panel independently of other housing surface. CONSTITUTION:By rotating a knob 15 and releasing a pressing force of the end face of the knob 15 on an ascending/descrnding shaft 11, an inclination angle of an operating panel 5 is varied. In this case, even if pressure by the knob 15 is released, since a spring washer 12 is working, the operating panel 5 is supported at an arbitrary angle. Subsequently, by holding both ends of the operating panel 5, it is inclined to an easily operable state by using a shaft 12 as a supporting point, and thereafter, by rotating the knob 15, an inclination angle of the operating panel 5 is fixed. In such a state, when a motor 20 is driven by depressing an ascending/descending switch, the motor 20 moves the ascending/descending shaft 11 in the guide shaft direction of a sleeve 16 through a worm gear 19, and by the movement of the ascending/descending shaft 11, the operating panel 5 moves vertically. In such a way, an operation of the operating panel is executed easily. |
