    Abstract: An input device includes a knob, a detector, an electromagnetic brake, an elastic member, and a controller. The detector detects a rotation angle of the knob. The electromagnetic brake regulates rotation of the knob. The elastic member is provided between the knob and the electromagnetic brake. When the current position of the knob in the circumferential direction is not the target position for rotation regulation of the knob, the controller does not activate the electromagnetic brake. When the current position of the knob in the circumferential direction is the target position for rotation regulation of the knob, the controller determines whether to regulate rotation of the knob based on a rotation direction of the knob, or on a rotation angle of the knob that shifts from the holding position of the knob in the circumferential direction due to deformation of the elastic member.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an input device that puts signals into equipment in response to turning action and that can come down in thickness along an axis of a rotary shaft. The input device includes a knob configured to be turned, a rotary shaft configured to turn together with the knob, and a flange disposed around an outer peripheral surface of the rotary shaft. The flange is designed to regulate turning of the rotary shaft. The input device further includes an elastic component that is disposed around the outer peripheral surface of the rotary shaft and is fastened to the flange, a rotation controller that permits or inhibits turning of the elastic component, and a detector that detects a rotational state of the rotary shaft.

    Abstract: A lever input device includes: a lever which is tiltable in a first direction orthogonal to an axis of the lever about the axis due to an operation by a user; a swing arm which engages with the lever and swings along with the tilting of the lever in the first direction and amplifies a displacement amount of the lever at the time of tilting; and a magnet body mounted on the swing arm, wherein the swing arm is elongated along a second direction which is a direction along the axis, is configured such that distance (D13) between a swing fulcrum and a mounting portion of the magnet body becomes larger than distance (D12) between the swing fulcrum of the swing arm and an engaging portion of the swing arm with the lever.
