Abstract:
1. A six-direction directing device provided in an XYZ rectangular coordinate system, comprising: a shaft extending in an X axis direction, a rotation member rotatable around an axis inclined at α deg with respect to the shaft and coupled to the shaft, said rotation member having an xyz rectangular coordinate system and including a spherical surface and an orbit portion formed around an x axis of said spherical surface; a driving source that rotates said shaft around the X axis; and a guide member fixed to said XYZ rectangular coordinate system and in contact with said orbit portion, said orbit portion having such a shape that a y axis of said rotation member is directed sequentially in + and − directions on U, V, and W axes that cross one another at intervals of 60 deg around the X axis when said rotation member rotates in contact with said guide member by rotation of said shaft.
