Abstract:
1. An operating device comprising: a grip; a first supporting section that has a first end and a second end and that supports the grip with the first end; a second supporting section for supporting the second end of the first supporting section; a first resisting section for exerting a force in a direction for returning a first inclination of the grip with respect to the first supporting section to a first initial inclination; and a second resisting section for exerting a force in a direction for returning a second inclination of the first supporting section with respect to the second supporting section to a second initial inclination, wherein the grip can tilt about the first end of the first supporting section such that the first end acts as a supporting point, the first supporting section can tilt about the second end such that the second end acts as a supporting point, and the operating device is adjusted such that the first resisting section and the second resisting section exert the forces that provide a larger difference between the second inclination and the second initial inclination than a difference between the first inclination and the first initial inclination when only a point on the grip is pushed.
