Abstract: A movement mechanism includes: a case; a moving portion movable with respect to the case; and a support member that links the case and moving portion together and supports the moving portion so as to be movable with respect to the case. The support member has a plurality of pairs of first support portions and a plurality of pairs of second support portions, each of which is elastically deformable, has a plate-like shape, and extends between the case and the moving portion. The first support portions and second support portions are respectively placed on a first side and a second side in a moving direction of the moving portion so as to be symmetric with respect to the moving portion in plan view.

Abstract: An input device is characterized in that in a first stroke region in which an operation panel is pushed during a touch operation, a first reaction force that occurs by pushing the operation panel is generated by the first elastic portion. In a second stroke region including a stroke longer than in the first stroke region and a stroke for performing a push operation, a second reaction force that occurs by pushing the operation panel is a resultant force generated by a first elastic portion and the push switch. In the vicinity of a boundary between the first stroke region and the second stroke region, the amount of change in the first reaction force with respect to a stroke length is less than the amount of change in the second reaction force with respect to a stroke length.

Abstract: An input apparatus includes an operating member that receives an operating force, a casing holding the operating member so as to move in the vertical direction, a first switch and a second switch that switch between on-state and off-state as the operating member moves, a first magnetic substance attached to the casing, a second magnetic substance that moves together with the operating member, and a third magnetic substance disposed so as to come into contact with the first magnetic substance and the second magnetic substance when the operating member is not receiving an operating force and so as to come into contact with one of the first magnetic substance and the second magnetic substance when the operating member is receiving an operating force. At least one of the first magnetic substance, the second magnetic substance, and the third magnetic substance is a magnet.

Abstract: A molded component displays an optical image that is visible from a front by allowing light that is emitted from a light source that is disposed at a back to pass therethrough. The molded component includes a light-shielding resin member that has an optical transmission hole that has a shape depending on the optical image in a plan view, and a transparent resin member that is optically transparent and that is stacked on a surface of the light-shielding resin member that faces the front such that the transparent resin member covers at least the optical transmission hole. The transparent resin member includes a peripheral portion that has a constant thickness, and a thin portion that is disposed inside the peripheral portion and that is thinner than the peripheral portion.
