Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An operation device for receiving an operation input regarding translation and/or turning about a vertical axis of a moving body from a user who operates the moving body includes: at least three leg parts extending upward from a vehicle body; an operation part joined to each of the leg parts and configured to receive an operation input from a user; and at least one displacement sensor configured to detect a horizontal displacement amount of the operation part. As seen in top view, each of the leg parts is in a position spaced from a straight line connecting selected two of other leg parts.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . An operation device for receiving an operation input regarding translation and/or turning about a vertical axis of a moving body from a user operating the moving body, the operation device comprising: at least three leg parts extending upward from a vehicle body; an operation part joined to each of the leg parts and configured to receive an operation input from the user; and at least one displacement sensor configured to detect a horizontal displacement amount of the operation part, wherein, as seen in top view, each of the leg parts is in a position spaced from a straight line connecting selected two of other leg parts. 2 . The operation device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least three leg parts include four leg parts disposed at vertices of a rectangle as seen in top view. 3 . The operation device according to claim 2 , wherein each of the leg parts has a round rod shape. 4 . The operation device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least three leg parts include three leg parts disposed at vertices of a triangle as seen in top view. 5 . The operation device according to claim 4 , wherein the three leg parts consist of two leg parts disposed to be laterally spaced from each other and one leg part disposed in front of the two leg parts. 6 . The operation device according to claim 5 , wherein the one leg part disposed in front of the two leg parts is disposed between the two leg parts as seen in a front-rear direction. 7 . The operation device according to claim 6 , wherein each of the leg parts has a round rod shape. 8 . The operation device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one displacement sensor includes two displacement sensors, each of the two displacement sensors being configured to detect a horizontal displacement amount of a corresponding one of laterally spaced positions of the operation part. 9 . The operation device according to claim 1 , comprising two restricting members supported on the vehicle body and provided with respective through holes for allowing left and right end portions of the operation part to pass therethrough in a left-right direction.
