To prevent the occurrence of a situation where a first member to be operated and a second member to be operated are brought into contact with each other even if the second member is configured to be movable into the movement region of the first member.SOLUTION: A user operation device 500 is configured such that a second member to be operated 52 is movable into a movement area in which a first member to be operated 2 moves from a first point to a second point, and has: detection means that detects whether the second member to be operated is located in the movement area; a movement regulation member that can regulate the movement of the first member to be operated located at the first point to the second point; and control means 600 that, when the second member to be operated is located in the movement area based on a result of detection performed by the detection means, executes control of causing the movement regulation member to regulate the movement of the first member to be operated.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】第一被操作部材の移動領域内に第二被操作部材が移動可能に構成されても、これらの２つの被操作部材が互いに接触する事態の発生を抑制する。【解決手段】ユーザー操作装置５００は、第一被操作部材２が第一箇所から第２箇所へ移動するまでの移動領域内に、第二被操作部材５２が移動可能に構成され、前記第二被操作部材が前記移動領域内に位置するか否かを検出する検出手段と、前記第一箇所に位置する前記第一被操作部材の前記第２箇所への移動を規制可能な移動規制部材と、前記検出手段の検出結果に基づき、前記第二被操作部材が前記移動領域内に位置する場合には前記第一被操作部材の前記移動を前記移動規制部材に規制させる制御を実行する制御手段６００とを有する。【選択図】図１
