摘要:
A pump chamber (15) is formed between a piezoelectric vibrator (7) and a valve main plate (10). The valve main plate (10) includes an inlet port (13) at its central portion, and an outlet port (14) in its peripheral portion, and the inlet port (13) is made in a smaller diameter than the outlet port (14). On the valve main plate (10) an inflow check valve (11) and an outflow check valve (12) are provided, so that when the inflow check valve (11) and the outflow check valve (12) open and close in response to the vibration of the piezoelectric vibrator (7), a fluid is introduced into and discharged from the pump chamber (15).

An information presentation device transmits information of a car navigation system, installed in a vehicle, to a driver in form of tactile stimuli, wherein a controller controls a plurality of vibrators attached to a steering wheel. The vibrators are arranged in proximity to vibration transmitters, corresponding to holding parts of a steering wheel, so that they are controlled with desired vibration intensity and vibration start timing in response to drive signals from the controller. Two vibrators are arranged in the holding parts of a steering wheel which come in contact with driver's hands and are controlled to generate a virtual vibrating source, thus rendering a driver feeling a sensation as if a vibrating source is moving in upward-downward directions, left-right directions, and far-near directions in the front side of a driver. Thus, it is possible to present accurate information with a small amount of energy consumption in driving vibrators.

A thermal printer with a mechanism for preventing recording sheet from meandering. In order to perform the mechanism, the thermal printer is provided with a thermal line head, a platen roller and a holding shaft which is perpendicular to the surface of a recording sheet and rotatable about the axis thereof, the holding shaft being engaged with the thermal line head in such a manner that the thermal line head is horizontally swingable about the axis of the holding shaft with the positional relation between the recording sheet and the thermal line head unchanged, and subjected to frictional force to return the thermal line head to its standard position, so that printing operation is correctly carried out all times and the recording sheet is returned to its standard position, that is, the meandering of the recording sheet is prevented. This mechanism also can be performed by providing the thermal printer with a brake shoe engaged with the holding shaft as described above.

A tablet device includes: a pressing operation unit that receives a pressing operation from an indicator; and a controller that detects a pressing position of the indicator with respect to the pressing operation unit. The pressing operation unit includes: a housing; a partition wall that partitions an inner space of the housing into a plurality; an elastic sheet that is disposed over an upper portion of the partition wall so as to cover the plurality of spaces partitioned by the partition wall, the elastic sheet elastically deforming in a direction orthogonal to a surface thereof; a pressure-sensitive sheet which is laminated over the elastic sheet, the pressure-sensitive sheet outputting as pressing position information a position pressed by the indicator; a sensor that is provided over the partition wall, the sensor outputting as indicator position information a position of the indicator over the partition wall upon the indicator being positioned over the partition wall; an actuator that deforms the elastic sheet; and an incompressible fluid that is filled in the spaces enclosed by the housing, the partition wall, and the elastic sheet. The controller controls actuation of the actuator based on the pressing position information and the indicator position information.

Provided are a switch and input device that can give a user a switch pressing sensation and push-back sensation and that are highly quiet. This switch 1 comprises a pressure transmitting member 2, which is formed from a medium that transfers changes in pressure and which transfers pressure change in a prescribed direction when pressed, and a push-back member 3 that is disposed adjacent to the pressure transmitting member 2 and pushes the pressure transmitting member 2 back in the direction opposite to the prescribed direction when transmission of a pressure change in the prescribed direction is detected.
