Abstract

The controller (1, 1 ') includes a housing (2, 2') having an opening (271 a, 271a '), a first bearing (11, 11') provided in the housing, a first operation button (4, 4 ') having a first operation surface (411, 411') exposed from the opening and a first shaft (45, 45', 45 a) supported by the first bearing so as to be rotatable in a first rotational direction about an axis and movable in the first linear direction, and a first switch (9, 9') pressed by the first operation button when the first operation button is rotated in the first rotational direction by rotation of the first shaft and when the first operation button is moved in the first linear direction by linear movement of the first shaft. The first shaft is disposed at a position inside both ends of the first operation surface. When the first shaft is about to rotate from the natural state to the second rotation direction, the first shaft is abutted against the first bearing, thereby restricting the first operation button from rotating by an angle larger than a predetermined angle in the second rotation direction.

Description

Controller for controlling a power supply Technical Field The present invention relates to a controller. Background Conventionally, it is known that a controller presses a switch provided in a housing by rotating an operation button (for example, japanese patent application laid-open No. 2007-525795). In the controller described in japanese patent application laid-open No. 2007-525795, the rotating portions of the operation buttons are located inside both ends of the operation surface of the operation buttons, and the operation buttons can be rotated in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. Disclosure of Invention Problems to be solved by the invention However, depending on the positional relationship among the operation surface, the turning section, and the switch, there is a possibility that operability of the operation button may be deteriorated when the operation button is turned in a specific rotational direction.
