  • Patent number: 10901208
    Abstract: A display unit projects a display image on a display member outside an apparatus housing from an inside of the apparatus housing through an opening of the apparatus housing. A cover is configured to form a through hole by bending at a second side opposite to a first side. A movable mechanism moves the cover between a closed position, at which an opening of the apparatus housing is closed, and an opened position, at which the opening is opened. When the cover is in the closed position, a bending unit holds the cover in a state where the through hole is not formed. When the cover moves from the closed position to the opened position, the bending unit bends the cover to change the cover from a state in which the through hole is not formed to a state in which the through hole is formed.

  • Patent number: 10095310
    Abstract: An input apparatus includes an input device, a support device, a reaction force generator and an adjustment structure. The reaction force generator includes a magnetic pole formation part, a coil, and a magnetic flux induction part, and that exerts electromagnetic force, which is generated by an application of current to the coil, on the input device as operation reaction force in a direction along the operation plane. The adjustment structure causes pressing force to increase or decrease in a direction where the input device intersects the operation plane by adjusting a total of magnetic attraction force obtained by the magnetic pole formation part attracting the magnetic flux induction part.

  • Patent number: 9965061
    Abstract: An input device including an operating portion and a palm rest is provided. The operation portion includes an operating surface for accepting an operating input from a fingertip. The palm rest is positioned forward of the operating surface as viewed from an operator who places a palm on the palm rest. A tangent plane of a palm-resting surface of the palm rest is disposed on a front surface side of the operating surface. A portion of the operating surface that is close to the palm rest is inclined so that the portion of the operating surface becomes closer to the palm-resting surface of the palm rest as the portion of the operating surface is closer to the palm rest, as compared with another portion of the operating surface that is apart from the palm rest.

  • Patent number: 9864439
    Abstract: Provided is an input device that can reduce a magnetic attractive force generated between a coil-side yoke and magnets while suppressing the decrease in an operation reaction force that can be generated. The input device includes four coils arranged in a cross shape and a magnet assembly. When a current is applied to windings of the coils, electromagnetic forces are generated between the coils and the magnet assembly. In addition, the input device includes a coil-side yoke that is located opposite to the magnet assembly across the coils. The coil-side yoke is shaped so that magnetic fluxes generated by the magnet assembly are concentrated on winding portions of the windings of the coils, the winding portions being arranged along directions of a cross.
