Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mechanism capable of moving a computer to an optimal position corresponding to the change of the computer from a normal posture to a reclining posture at the time of operating a computer. SOLUTION: A computer (a display screen, a keyboard, and a mouse or the like) is constituted so as to be easily movable back and forth by putting this computer on a tray with a roller, combining parallel link arms, integrating the roller into the main body of a notebook-sized personal computer, or allowing a desk top board itself to slide back and forth.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mechanism for moving a display surface, a keyboard, a mouse, and the like to optimal positions in response to a change in the posture of an operator when operating a computer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Hitherto, when a computer is not placed on a desk and used, a mechanism for moving the computer to the back of the desk, rotating it left and right, or lifting it upward has been used to secure a work space.

[0003]

Conventionally, when a computer is operated for a long time, it is desired to change the posture, and the back of the chair is used by reclining. In this case, the chair moves forward because the eyes are separated from the screen, but there is a problem that the front end of the desk is hungry and the chair cannot be operated in a comfortable condition. In recent years, OA based on reclining posture
The chair was released, but there was no mechanism to easily optimize the position of the computer in accordance with the reclining posture, which solves this problem.

The present invention has a structure in which a parallelogram link and a tray are provided so that the installation positions of a computer display device, a keyboard, a mouse, and the like can be easily moved.

[0004]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A mechanism or material for facilitating movement is attached to the bottom surface of a conventional computer by using an adhesive tape or the like, or is mounted on a tray in which rollers for movement are incorporated. It is moved by a combination mechanism of parallelogram links, or an automatic mechanism linked to a change in the posture of the operator, or a form in which rollers and the like are built into the device from the beginning.

[0005]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiment 1 of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. A plurality of rollers (1) are installed on the bottom of the computer main body so that they can be easily moved. A plurality of lower plates (2) with rollers (1) are adhered to the computer body (4) with an adhesive member (3). When the main body is lightweight, a material such as a Teflon sheet (5) may be attached. If the thickness of the roller is an obstacle, type that protrudes to the rear of the main unit (7) or type that protrudes to the side of the main unit (8)
May be. Further, a stopper mechanism or the like may be provided on the roller or the lower plate so that the main body does not move. At this time, a structure for improving the operability by attaching the handle (9) and the stopper release button (10) by integrating the left and right lower plates (2) may be used. In FIG. 2, it is used by placing it on a small roller-attached tray instead of sticking it with an adhesive. The computer is placed on a tray (2 ') having a plurality of rollers (1) and used. Further, a structure in which a stopper and a stopper release button are attached (10) or a handle (9) is attached so that the main body does not move unnecessarily may be used.

In a second embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a computer display device, a keyboard, a mouse, and the like are placed on a tray (2 ') having a roller (1) so that the position on a desk can be easily moved. To At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, the tray (2 ') has two layers,
The structure 1) may be provided so that it can be stored in the lower part of the display device (4 ') when not used. And tray (2 ')
May be provided with a stopper mechanism so as not to move during use.

In a third embodiment shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, a parallelogram link (12) is combined, installed on a desk (13) with a fixture (14), and a computer display device is placed on a tray (2 '). Put a keyboard, mouse, etc. Alternatively, a parallelogram link may be installed on the floor stand (15). Further, in order to cope with the full reclining posture, the display device (4 ') and the keyboard (6) are fixed to the tray (2') so as not to fall, and an angle adjusting part (16) is provided so that the operator can better cope with the posture of the operator. The structure may be sufficient. In this case, a structure having a sub-angle adjusting unit (17) having the mouse table unit always horizontal may be used.

In the embodiment 4 shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, when the operator reclines the back of the chair (18), the operator moves the tray by the moving distance (19) and arranges the computer at an appropriate position. At this time, in order to measure the distance between the eyes and the display device (4 '), a reflector (20) is attached to the glasses-like object.
Alternatively, a reflector (21) or the like is attached to an ear or the like, and the distance is measured from the tray to automatically move. Alternatively, a method in which a reflector or the like is not attached to the body may be used, such as actively measuring the distance from the tray using ultraviolet rays, ultrasonic waves, or the like, or performing measurement by pattern recognition using a camera. At this time, a switch that is operated only when necessary may be provided so as not to operate unnecessarily in response to an unintended movement of the operator.

In a fifth embodiment shown in FIGS. 9, 10, and 11, a roller (1) or a Teflon sheet (5) is attached to a notebook type computer from the time of manufacture to make it easy to move. At this time, a structure may be adopted in which a stopper is built in so as not to move unnecessarily, a groove is formed at a position in front of the main body, and a handle (9) and a stopper release-button (10) are installed. Further, a mechanism for automatically setting the distance between the display screen and the eyes may be incorporated.

In a sixth embodiment shown in FIG. 12, a table top (2
2) itself slides forward to adjust the position of the computer to the optimal position. In this case, the entire top plate or a structure in which a part of the top plate is movable may be used.

The present invention is embodied in the form described above, and has the following effects.

Since the computer display device, the keyboard, the mouse and the like can always be arranged at the optimum positions, the positions can be optimally maintained from the normal working posture to the reclining posture during long working hours. Even with time work, you can reduce fatigue and work comfortably on your computer.
