Abstract

The mouse has a three-ball mechanism. It also has a fourth ball inside the mouse. The fourth ball acts to sense direction and as a counter-bearing. The three ball mechanism is arranged on the under side of the device such that the mouse, through its own weight, can be operated without an underlying pad.

Description

Bei den zur Zeit üblichen Bauweisen von Computermäusen aller Art besteht der Nachteil darin, daß diese nur auf dazugehörigen Unterlagen (Mousepad) laufen bzw. sich vom User bedienen lassen.The disadvantage with the construction methods of computer mice of all kinds, which are currently customary in the fact that these only run on associated documents (mouse pad) or differ from the user operate.

Dies ist in der heutigen Zeit nicht mehr ausreichend und wird vor allem dann zum Problem, wenn keine Unterlage (Mousepad) vorhanden ist.Nowadays, this is no longer sufficient and especially becomes a problem if there is no pad (mousepad).

Die Erfindung löst dieses ProblemThe invention solves this problem

Die Mouse gleicht in ihren Komponenten und in Form sowie Bauweise einer herkömmlichen Computermaus. Der wesentliche Unterschied liegt an dem speziellen Rollmechanismus, der jegliche Unterlage (Mousepad) überflüssig macht.The components of the mouse resemble a conventional one in terms of shape and construction Computer mouse. The main difference lies in the special rolling mechanism, the makes any pad (mousepad) superfluous.

Das Unterteil der Mouse besteht im wesentlichen aus drei kugelgelagerten Einbuchtungen, die zur Aufnahme von drei Kugeln dienen, die das Fahrwerk der Mouse darstellen. Die Kugeln sind wie ein Dreirad-Fahrwerk angeordnet und in Leichtbauweise mit einem Gummi-Profilüberzug versehen, damit die Kugeln auf jedem Arbeitsuntergrund (Computer­ schreibtisch oder ähnliches) Haftung finden.The lower part of the mouse essentially consists of three indentations with ball bearings to hold three balls that represent the chassis of the mouse. The balls are arranged like a tricycle chassis and are lightweight with a rubber profile cover provided so that the balls on any work surface (computer desk or similar) find liability.

Das Eigengewicht der Mouse und der zusätzliche Druck, den der Bediener ausüben kann, gewährleisten ein zuverlässiges rollen der Kugeln. Durch das Dreirad-Kugelfahrwerk läßt sich die Mouse auf jeder Fläche (horizontalen oder vertikalen) in jeder Richtung bewegen.The weight of the mouse and the additional pressure that the operator can exert ensure reliable rolling of the balls. With the tricycle ball carriage move the mouse on any surface (horizontal or vertical) in any direction.

Die Signalerzeugung wir an an einer vierten Kugel, die sich im Inneren der Mouse befindet, mittels Rollenübertragung für die X- bzw. Y-Achsen zur Richtungsanzeige abgenommen, gleichzeitig dient diese vierte Kugel als Gegenlager für das Dreirad-Kugelfahrwerk. Die Übertragungsrollen melden die Laufbewegung (Impulsanzahl der Bewegung) jeweils an einen Drehtaktwandler. Diese Wandler setzen die Bewegungen in TTL-Rechteckimpulse (Verständigungssignale) um, die ein Multiplexer (Umsetzer) in ein standardisiertes serielles Computersignal transferiert.The signal generation is on a fourth ball, which is located inside the mouse, approved by means of roller transfer for the X and Y axes for direction indication, at the same time, this fourth ball serves as a counter bearing for the three-wheel ball running gear. The Transfer rollers each report the running movement (number of impulses of the movement) to one Rotary clock converter. These converters set the movements in TTL rectangular pulses (Communication signals), which a multiplexer (converter) into a standardized serial Computer signal transferred.
