1. A remote control transmitter, comprising:
- a wiring board where electronic components for generating a remote control signal are mounted;
a housing for installing the wiring board;
an operating unit disposed at an upper face of the housing, an arbitrary portion of an outer part of the operating unit can be moved in a depressed direction;
a resistor unit and a conductor unit provided under the operating unit in parallel and opposed to each other with a certain space therebetween;
a controlling part electrically connected to the resistor unit and the conductor unit; and
a transmitting part for transmitting a remote control signal in response to an instruction from the controlling part, wherein the remote control transmitter is structured such that, when the operating unit is depressed, the resistor unit and the conductor unit are contacted with each other at a position at which the depression is provided, and wherein the controlling part electrically detects the position at which the resistor unit and the conductor unit are contacted with each other to instruct the transmitting part to transmit a remote control signal corresponding to the detected position.

Abstract
A substantially ring shaped resistor unit and an conductor unit with a certain space therebetween are provided under an operating unit having a substantially disc shape or a substantially ring shape. When an operating unit is depressed, the resistor unit and the conductor unit are contacted with each other at a position at which the depression is provided. Based on the contact, a controlling part detects the position at which the depression is provided, and a transmitting part transmits a remote control signal corresponding to the position at which the depression is provided.
