Abstract: An input device has operation shafts whose tips project through a first elongate hole and a second elongate hole formed through an upper plate portion of a case main body and that are movable along the upper plate portion of the case main body. An operation knob is movably attached to the tips of the operation shafts. The case main body is provided with elastic support pieces that deform following the movement of the operation knob and elastically support the operation knob.

Abstract: Provided is an easily assembled multi-directional switching device that prevents the rattling of drive members, in which each pair of drive members mutually adjacent in the circumferential direction are connected to each other by an elastic arm member to form drive member units, and in which stem portions of the respective drive members are inserted in a casing from above corresponding guide holes to position the elastic arm members of the drive member units on the upper surface side of a top panel of the casing.

Abstract: A slide operation type electrical component includes a slider that includes protruding parts extending in predetermined directions, a holding case that includes guide surfaces slidable on the protruding parts and holds the slider so as to allow the slider to be slidable, and an electrical element that is engaged with the slider and driven when sliding. The slide operation type electrical component includes a notch that is opened at a protruding end surface of at a part of the protruding parts, guideways that are formed at the holding case in the shape of a hole or groove extending in the sliding direction of the slider so that side walls of the guideways form the guide surfaces, and elastic pushing means that is disposed at a part of the guideways so as to elastically come in contact with an internal surface of the notch.
