An electronic watch may include a tactile switch and/or one or more sensors for detecting rotational and translational inputs. The watch may include a display configured to produce graphical outputs that may change in response to rotational inputs, translational inputs, and/or touch inputs received at the display. The watch include a crown positioned along an exterior of the watch enclosure and a shaft coupled to the crown and extending into the enclosure. The tactile switch and/or the one or more sensors may be used to detect rotational and/or translational inputs provided at the crown.

An operation device of a straddle type vehicle has a controller used to operate at least two or more kinds of functions of equipment mounted on the straddle type vehicle. The controller includes a controller operation portion capable of rotary and other freely moving operations. A rotary shaft of the controller inside the controller operation portion is arranged lower than a lower wall face of a switch box.

A power tool (1) includes an electric motor (2) as a drive source and a start switch (20; 61) that starts the electric motor (2) and is lockable in an ON position in a lock-ON state. An electromagnetic actuator (30; 40; 50; 60) pushes out or pulls in an actuation pin (30a; 40a; 50a; 60a) with respect to a body of the electromagnetic actuator (30; 40; 50; 60) in response to cutting off of a supply of electrical current to the power tool (1). The pushed-out or pulled-in actuation pin, directly or indirectly, disengages the start switch (20; 61) from the lock-ON state and/or prevents the start switch (20; 61) from being shifted into the lock-ON state.

An actuating element for a switch includes a U-shaped actuating section. The actuating section includes two different arms with different lengths. The long arm is configured to transfer force to the push-button of the switch and includes a bracket portion at the free end of the long arm for supporting actuating element. The short arm is configured for the force input and is aligned obliquely to the long arm.

An input device includes a switch, light sources, and a light guide body. The switch is configured to switch between ON and OFF by being pressed. The light sources include a first light source and a second light source disposed at a position different from a position of the first light source. The light guide body guides a light emitted from the light sources in an opposite direction opposite from a pressing direction of the switch. The light guide body includes an output section, a first light guide leg section, and a second light guide leg section. The output section outputs the light emitted from the light sources in the opposite direction. The first light guide leg section is connected to the output section and guides the first light emitted by the first light source to the output section. The second light guide leg section is connected to the output section and guides the second light emitted by the second light source to output section. The output section includes a first design configured to emit light by reflecting the first light in the opposite direction and a second design configured to emit light by reflecting the second light in the opposite direction.

An operation knob attachable onto a touch functional display panel includes an operation unit and a transmitting unit. The transmitting unit transmits, to the touch functional display panel, an operation performed to the operation unit at a position distant from a surface of the touch functional display panel.
