Operating device

Abstract

An operating device includes a device main body, and an operating body operated by a user. The operating body is movable between a first position and a second position and enables activation of a water-related appliance by moving from the first position to the second position. The device main body includes a marker part that is different in outer surface color from a neighboring area of the device main body. When the operating body is placed at the first position, the operating body hides the marker part from the outside, and, when the operating body is placed at the second position, the operating body exposes at least part of the marker part to the outside.

1 . An operating device, comprising:

         2 . The operating device of  claim 1 , wherein the operating body comprises a button that is movable when pressed. 
     
     
         3 . The operating device of  claim 2 , wherein the operating body is configured to be rotatable with respect to the device main body. 
     
     
         4 . The operating device of  claim 1 , wherein the operating body comprises a lever supported to be rotatable with respect to the device main body. 
     
     
         5 . The operating device of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the device main body comprises a housing hole that opens on a face of the device main body,   the operating body is movable from the first position to the second position by moving toward a deeper side in the housing hole, and   the marker part is provided on an inner surface of the housing hole.   
     
     
         6 . The operating device of  claim 5 , wherein the neighboring area is provided closer to an inlet side of the housing hole than the marker part. 
     
     
         7 . The operating device of  claim 5 , wherein a depth dimension of the marker part is set differently according to the position on an inner peripheral surface of the housing hole. 
     
     
         8 . The operating device of  claim 1 , wherein the device main body comprises a guide part, the operating body comprises a guided part guided by the guide part, and the guide part is provided in the marker part. 
     
     
         9 . The operating device of  claim 1 , wherein a boundary part between the neighboring area and the marker part constitutes a stopper that limits a movable range of the operating body. 
     
     
         10 . The operating device of  claim 1 , wherein the operating device comprises a plurality of the operating bodies, and when a first operating body of the plurality of operating bodies is placed at the first position, the first operating body hides a corresponding area of the marker part from the outside, and, when the first operating body is placed at the second position, the first operating body exposes at least part of the corresponding area of the marker part to the outside. 
     
     
         11 . The operating device of  claim 10 , wherein the device main body comprises a single marker member that constitutes areas of the marker part respectively corresponding to the plurality of the operating bodies. 
     
     
         12 . The operating device of  claim 11 , wherein the device main body comprises a plurality of guide parts provided respectively for the plurality of the operating bodies, each of the plurality of the operating bodies comprises a guided part guided by a corresponding one of the plurality of guide parts, and the plurality of guide parts are provided on the single marker member. 
     
     
         13 . The operating device of  claim 10 , wherein the device main body comprises a guide part, and each of the operating bodies adjacent to each other comprises a guided part guided by the guide part in common. 
     
     
         14 . The operating device of  claim 1 , wherein the device main body comprises a cylindrical member, the cylindrical member comprises a main body member and a marker member that each have a shape obtained by dividing the cylindrical member, and the marker member constitutes the marker part. 
     
     
         15 . The operating device of  claim 14 , wherein the main body member comprises a base part, and the marker member is mounted on the base part.
