  • Input device
    Patent number: 10055029
    Abstract: An input device (10) comprises a panning mechanism (12). The panning mechanism comprises a sensor arrangement having first and second sensor components (46, 48), a movable carrier arrangement (40) for carrying the first sensor component and a fixed carrier arrangement (42) on which the second sensor component is mounted. The movable carrier arrangement is movable relative to the fixed carrier arrangement. The panning mechanism further includes constraining means (50) to constrain movement of the movable carrier arrangement relative to the fixed carrier arrangement in two directions. The movement of the movable carrier arrangement relative to the fixed carrier arrangement effects movement of the first sensor component relative to the second sensor component to create input signals such as input signals for a data processing apparatus.
