Abstract
An operation mechanism includes a magnet; a first movable plate formed of a magnetic material and connected to one pole of the magnet; and a second movable plate formed of a magnetic material and connected to another pole of the magnet, wherein, while the first movable plate is not being operated, the second movable plate is at a return position that overlaps the first movable plate, and wherein, while the first movable plate is being operated, the first movable plate pushes down a middle portion of the second movable plate, such that the middle portion of the second movable plate remains in contact with the first movable plate and the second movable plate is tilted, so as to cause a free end of the second movable plate to be separated from the first movable plate.
