Abstract:
An input device includes a plate-like operation panel in which a touch sensor is placed. The plate-like operation panel has a touch surface to be touch-operated by an operator, a support that supports the operation panel to a printed circuit board in a manner that the operation panel is displaceable in one axial direction, which extends along the touch surface, and an actuator that vibrates the operation panel in the one axial direction. The support is configured by metal plate springs disposed respectively in four places between the printed circuit board and one of the operation panel and a metal fitting fixed to the operation panel. The plate springs each have a spring property only in the one axial direction.

Claim (Index 9):
The input device according to  claim 2 , wherein the operation panel has a rectangular shape in a plan view and is placed in a state where one set of opposite sides of the rectangular shape extends along the one axial direction, at least four plate springs are disposed and couple one of four corner portions of the operation panel and four corner portions of the metal fitting to the fixing portion, respectively, and a vibration amplitude of the operation panel is between 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm.
