Patent ID: 8213642

Claim:
A slide manipulation device mountable in a manipulator panel, comprising: a manipulator; a frame configured to slidably support the manipulator; and a circuit board, wherein the frame has an opposing part facing the inside of the manipulation panel when the frame is mounted to the manipulation panel, the frame extending in a direction intersecting the opposing part and extending in a slide direction of the manipulator, the manipulator extends outward from the interior of the frame, and is slidable in the slide direction to indicate a parameter for use in an electronic equipment, and the circuit board is disposed at the outside of the frame along the extending direction of the frame, and is mounted to the frame for carrying out overall control to signalize a parameter set by the manipulator and to transmit the signalized parameter to the electronic equipment, and otherwise to receive the parameter from the electronic equipment and to slide the manipulator in response to the received parameter.
