Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 0:
1. A rotationally operated electronic component, comprising:
a first block body that is placed on one side of an axis direction and includes a first hole,
a second block body that is placed on another side of the axis direction and includes a second hole,
an outer operating shaft that includes a first cylindrical section fitting within the first hole to rotate about an axis,
an inner operating shaft that extends in the axis direction, penetrates through the second hole, and fits within the first cylindrical section to rotate about the axis,
a rotating body that includes a second cylindrical section fitting over the inner operating shaft to rotate integrally with the inner operating shaft and fitting within the second hole to rotate about the axis,
a first radial-direction elastic member that is put, in a flexed state against resilience, in a radial-direction gap between an inner circumferential surface of the first hole and an outer circumferential surface of the first cylindrical section; and
a second radial-direction elastic member that is put, in a flexed state against resilience, in a radial-direction gap between an inner circumferential surface of the second hole and an outer circumferential surface of the second cylindrical section,
wherein the outer operating shaft includes a first large-diameter cylindrical section that is placed on the one side of the first cylindrical section in the axis direction and that has a diameter larger than a diameter of the first cylindrical section,
the rotating body includes a second large-diameter cylindrical section that is placed on the one side of the second cylindrical section in the axis direction and that has a diameter larger than a diameter of the second cylindrical section, and
the rotationally operated electronic component further includes:
a first axis-direction elastic member that is put, in a flexed state against resilience, in an axis-direction gap between a rim of the first hole and the first large-diameter cylindrical section; and
a second axis-direction elastic member that is put, in a flexed state against resilience, in an axis-direction gap between a rim of the second hole and the second large-diameter cylindrical section.
