Abstract:
1. A position input apparatus that determines a pressed position where a pressure is applied within an operation area, the position input apparatus comprising: an operation plate that is of a flat plate shape and has the operation area on one surface; at least two pressure detection devices, each of which detects, at a pressure detection position different from one another, a detection position pressure generated by the pressure applied to the pressed position, the pressure detection position being located outside the operation area on the operation plate; a pressed position determination device that determines the pressed position, based on at least two detection position pressures detected by the at least two pressure detection devices; an operation plate support portion that supports the operation plate at a position different from the pressure detection position; and an operation plate support adjustment portion having an adjustment screw, the adjustment screw adjusting at least either one of a height, a position, and a width of the operation plate support portion supporting the operation plate, wherein the adjustment screw is inserted through a guide hole provided under the operation plate support portion and threadingly engages with the operation plate support portion, and adjusts by moving sideways parallel to a surface of the operation plate along the guide hole the position of the operation plate support portion supporting the operation plate.
