Abstract: A push switch includes a housing; a fixed contact member, including a fixed contact, placed inside the housing; a movable contact member, including a movable portion, placed inside the housing; a slider, which moves in a vertical direction, placed above the fixed contact member and the movable contact member; and an elastic member, having a restoring force in a direction in which the slider separates from the housing, placed between the housing and the slider. A movable member is placed between the housing and the slider and is in contact with a part of the slider and is movable as the slider moves. As the slider is pushed toward the housing, the movable member in contact with the slider moves, whereby the fixed contact and the movable portion are separated from each other, or the fixed contact and the movable portion are brought into contact with each other.

Abstract: A sensory control method includes a step of receiving, a step of converting, and a step of outputting. In the step of receiving, a sensitivity parameter is received. In the step of converting, the received sensitivity parameter is converted into, among a plurality of physical parameters included in physical properties relating to a sensory presentation, a physical parameter correlated with the sensitivity parameter. In the step of outputting, a sensory presentation signal based on the physical parameter obtained as a result of the conversion is output.

Abstract: An operation device includes a housing provided with a through hole; a cylinder-shaped lever inserted into the housing through the through hole of the housing, that can be operated to be tilted; an actuator contained in a cylinder-shaped opening of the lever; and an elastic member provided between the actuator and the lever. A step is provided in the opening of the lever on one side of the elastic member. A step is provided in the actuator on another side of the elastic member. A surface of the step of the actuator is inclined with respect to a surface of the step in the opening of the lever.
