Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a mouse and a mouse cover used for a personal computer and other computers.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The spread of various computers including personal computers has been remarkable, and this operation is not limited to a keyboard, and recently it has become essential to use a mouse. The mouse has been mainly a so-called mouse type, but recently a mouse having a variety of functions and various shapes has appeared. As one example, a mouse having a circular shape has been used.

[0003]

However, since such a circular computer mouse has a circular shape, no matter how the mouse is slid, the mouse is operated in the same form and if the user concentrates on the computer screen during use. Buttons and directions are easily lost, and there is a need to confirm and return for regular instructions and inputs, which tends to cause a decrease in operability and work efficiency, and improvements have been desired.

[0004] In view of such circumstances, the present invention considers the characteristics of use of a mouse, uses a cover provided with a through hole at a predetermined position, and performs both button operation and finger positioning to solve the above-mentioned problems. Is to be solved.

[0005]

That is, the gist of the present invention is to provide a cover for covering the upper part of the circular mouse, and a part of the cover is provided with a transparent for operation and finger positioning. A mouse for a computer, characterized in that a hole is provided and buttons of a mouse can be operated through the hole. The present invention also relates to a cover which is mounted so as to cover an upper part of a circular computer mouse, wherein a part of the cover is provided with a through hole for operation and finger positioning, and the through hole is provided with a circular mouse. The computer mouse cover is characterized in that it can be mounted so as to be located above the finger operation button. As the computer mouse and the mouse cover, it is preferable that the cover has a circular dome shape that covers the entire upper surface of the circular mouse, and that a through hole is provided at a location deviated from the center thereof.

[0006]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. FIGS. 1 and 2 show a computer mouse according to the present invention. That is, in FIG.
Is a mouse body, 2 is a cover, and 3 is a cord, which is used by being connected to a personal computer (not shown) or the like.

[0007] The cover 2 is a circular mouse main body 1.
It is formed in a circular dome shape that covers the entire upper surface of the mouse. A through hole 2A is provided at a position deviated from the center thereof, and is fitted to the mouse main body 1 as shown in FIG. A button 1A for operation is provided at a position directly opposite to the cord 3 of the mouse body 1, but the cover 2 is used by fitting the cover 2A so that the through hole 2A is located above the button 1A where the button 1A can be operated. . The reason why the through-hole 2A in the cover 2 is unevenly distributed from the center is to cope with the button 1A of the mouse main body 1 which is provided in a circular peripheral portion. The regular position becomes easy to recognize.

When the mouse constructed as described above is used, the presence of the through-hole 2A of the cover 2 allows the fingertip to be always recognized by the touch of the fingertip even when concentrated on the screen. Therefore, the operation of the button 1A can be reliably performed, and the operation of the cursor (not shown) can be efficiently performed.

In the above example, since the cover 2 is formed in a circular dome shape having the same curvature so as to cover the entire upper surface of the mouse main body 1, the cover 2 is stably fitted to the mouse main body 1. Although it can be provided, it is also possible to provide a concave-convex fitting means on the inner surface of the lower peripheral edge relative to the mouse main body 1, or to provide another fixing means with the mouse main body 1.

The cover 2 is preferably formed of a synthetic resin material in view of its shape, but may be formed of a metal having good spreadability such as aluminum. This cover 2 is most stable in a circular dome shape, but is not limited to this. The cover 2 may be formed in a star shape or starfish shape as viewed from a plane partially cut off at the lower edge, or may be opposite to the through hole 2A. It can also be deformed into a shape that cuts the side in half.

Further, the through-hole 2A provided in the cover 2 is formed as shown in FIG.
Is easy to use, but is not limited thereto, and may be an oval, a polygon such as an octagon, or another shape suitable for the purpose of the present invention.

FIG. 3 shows the cover 2 of the present invention.
The present invention is also directed to the cover 1. By preparing such a cover 1 that can be fitted to a round mouse to be used, there is an advantage that it can be easily attached and used when operating a shared personal computer or a borrowed personal computer. If the cover 2 is detachable, it is convenient for inspection and cleaning of the mouse.

In any case, the cover 2
Can be colored or patterned to make it stand out, and letters and symbols can be displayed to show a publicity effect.

[0014]

According to the present invention having the above-described structure, when a computer is operated by a circular mouse equipped with a unique cover, the position of the finger can always be recognized by the tactile sensation due to the presence of the through hole. At the same time, there is an advantage that it is possible to provide a circular mouse and a cover used for the mouse, which can reliably operate the buttons through the through holes and efficiently operate the cursor.
