Abstract:
1. An input device located in an electronic input equipment, comprising: a bracing seat; a rotary member held on the bracing seat turnable, tiltable leftwards and rightwards, and movable upwards and downwards relative to the vertical bracing seat for selected displacements; and a terminal instruction mechanism mounted onto the bracing seat to receive forces to extend into the displacements having at least two abutting terminals corresponding to the movements of the rotary member to contact with each other to generate instruction signal output; wherein the rotary member is turnable in a selected rotational displacement, tiltable in a selected swaying displacement and movable upwards and downwards in a selected depressing displacement; and wherein the terminal instruction mechanism in the rotational displacement includes a common terminal, a forward terminal and a reverse terminal located on two sides of the common terminal, the rotation member having a rotation side which has concave sections and convex sections formed thereon alternatively, the convex sections pushing the forward terminal to contact the common terminal to generate a forward instruction when the rotary member turns in a forward direction; the convex sections pushing the reverse terminal to contact the common terminal to generate a reverse instruction when the rotary member turns in a reverse direction.
