MULTI-DIRECTIONAL OPERATING DEVICE AND VEHICLE SHIFT APPARATUS USING THE MULTI-DIRECTIONAL OPERATING DEVICE

A multi-directional operating device (101) includes an operating member (1), a support body (2), movable members (HK), a pair of movable magnetic members (MM), a facing magnetic member (TM), a plurality of stopper portions (6), a drive member (7), and a cam member (8). One of the drive member and the cam member has a guide surface (17p) having a first projection (17t) having a projection shape, and another of the drive member and the cam member has a sliding surface (28p) having a second projection (28t) having a projection shape. When the operating member is inclined in a first direction (D1), one of the pair of the movable magnetic members is inclined, and inclination of another of the pair of the movable magnetic members is stopped by one of the stopper portions. When the operating member is inclined in a second direction (D2), the first projection and the second projection are moved beyond projecting portions of each other and slide on each other. This multi-directional operating device is preferably applied to a vehicle shift apparatus.
