Description

  The present invention relates to a computer mouse that is easy to operate and less fatigued.

  Most conventional computer mice are shaped like an egg vertically split, and the user grasps it by pinching it from the left and right sides with the thumb and ring finger or little finger, and the back and forth movement is performed with these fingers. It is often performed by bending or stretching the arm or by moving the part from the elbow to the arm together with the arm, and the left and right movement is often performed by a rotational movement in the horizontal direction around the wrist or elbow. In this case, the click switch is operated with the index finger and the middle finger.

JP 2004-252919 A JP 2001-236177 A JP 2001-202194 A JP 2006-31720 A JP 2001-034405 A JP 2005-63369 A JP 2002-14767 A

However, according to this method, if the finger is bent and stretched when moving back and forth, it is easy to get tired because it is bent and stretched while being pinched from both sides, and it is moved by a stroke, that is, a single finger bending and stretching. It is difficult to operate because the distance that can be made is short. Also, when moving the part beyond the elbow with the arm, the movement becomes large, and it is easy to get tired.
The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a mouse that is easy to operate and less fatigued.

The mouse according to claim 1 and claim 2 is composed of a main body portion including a movement distance detection portion and the like, and a thin plate-like finger rest portion protruding in front of the main body portion and both left and right sides. ,
It is characterized in that the base of the wrist can be placed in front of the mouse body and the fingertips of all five fingers can be naturally placed on the finger rest part in a state where the force is removed.
When the base part of the wrist is placed in front of the mouse body and the fingertip is naturally placed on the finger rest part with the force removed, the height of the body part is set to the neutral position. Sometimes it is formed low enough against the arches made by the fingers and palms, so hold the finger rest from above with the fingertips of each finger and extend the finger to move the mouse forward from the neutral position And the length of the main body in the front-rear direction is sufficiently short with respect to the arch, so that the finger can be bent and the mouse can be moved backward from the neutral position. The computer mouse is characterized in that it can be easily moved back and forth by stretching.

In other words, this mouse is characterized by a very thin finger placement part that can place the fingertips of five fingers overhanging the front side and the left and right sides of the main body part. The finger rest is coupled to the periphery of the main body like a hat collar. Any two or three adjacent finger holders projecting from the front and the left and right sides of the main body may be connected to each other, or may be independent of each other.
The shape of the periphery of the finger placement portion may be a smooth circle, a wave shape that matches the shape of the fingertip, or a combination of straight lines and curves.
The user of this mouse can place the base of the wrist in front of the main body and place the fingertips of all five fingers on the finger rest while completely covering the main body with the hand. The mouse can be moved back and forth by pressing the finger placement part from above with the fingertip and bending and stretching the finger.
The fingertip refers to a portion beyond the first joint of the finger.

  If the thickness of this finger rest is very thin, the fingers can be moved in the same way as when grasping and opening their hands when bending their fingers and moving back and forth. By bending and stretching each of the third joints little by little, the entire finger can be bent and stretched. However, as the thickness of the finger rest increases, the position of the fingertip gradually increases, and with the base of the wrist placed on the desk, the fingertip position will be moved back and forth while maintaining the high fingertip position. When the third joint of the finger is extended, it is necessary to bend and stretch the entire finger by bending and stretching only the first and second joints, and the angle between the arm and the back of the hand gradually becomes smaller and it becomes very tired. Accordingly, it is necessary that the finger rest portion of the mouse be formed to be very thin. The thinner the finger rest, the easier it is to operate and the less tired it will be even if used for a long time.

This mouse also has a body that is sufficiently tall against the arch created by the fingers and palm when the wrist is placed on the desk and the fingertips of each finger are placed on the finger rest. It is low and the front and rear lengths are sufficiently short.
If this main body is formed high and there is little clearance between the upper part of the arch when in the neutral position, it will hit the belly of the finger when trying to extend the finger, and the finger cannot be extended. Also, if the front and back of the main body is long and there is only a small gap between the base portion of the wrist when in the neutral position, even if an attempt is made to bend the finger, it cannot be bent by hitting the base portion of the wrist.
Therefore, the main body of the mouse needs to be formed with a sufficiently low height and a sufficiently short front and rear length so that a sufficient gap can be formed between the mouse and the previous arch.

Because of this shape, the user holds the mouse by pressing it from the top with the fingertips of each finger in a state where the base of the wrist is placed on the desk, and bending and stretching these fingers. The moving operation can be easily performed.
In this case, since the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger are longer than the thumb and little finger, it is natural to use the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger as the main driving force, and use the thumb and little finger as auxiliary.
In addition, the left and right movements can be easily performed by the horizontal movement of the wrist around the base of the wrist.

According to this operation method, unlike a conventional mouse, the user can move his / her hand back and forth simply by placing his / her hand on the mouse, pressing with the weight of the hand from above, and bending the finger. Also, unlike the conventional mouse, since the forward / backward movement operation is mainly performed by bending and stretching the relatively long middle finger among the five fingers, the front / rear stroke can be increased.
In other words, when this mouse is used, a moving operation with a large stroke can be facilitated in order to use the natural movement of the finger and use the finger more efficiently. Therefore, it is easy to operate and less fatigued.
The “stroke” is a distance that can be moved by bending and stretching a finger once.

The mouse according to claim 3 has a dome-like shape in which the structure of the main body portion rises from the outer periphery toward the inside. This is a computer mouse.
When this mouse is moved left and right, the main body can be pressed from both the left and right sides with the thumb and ring finger or little finger, so that stable operation can be performed. In addition, because of the dome shape, it is easy to adapt to the palm and easy to use.

  The mouse according to claim 4 is characterized in that any two or three adjacent finger rests projecting from the front of the main body and the left and right sides are connected to each other. The computer mouse according to claim 3. If the finger placement part is connected and integrated, the degree of freedom of the position where the finger is placed is increased and it is easy to use.

The mouse according to claim 5 is formed according to any one of claims 1 to 4, wherein a part or all of the edge part of the finger placement part is formed to be raised higher than the inner part. A computer mouse.
Since the edge of this mouse is raised, it is difficult to come off the finger rest even if the fingertip is slightly displaced, and it is easy to use.

The mouse according to claim 6 is the computer mouse according to any one of claims 1 to 5, wherein a concave portion is provided at a position of a fingertip on the finger placement portion.
Since the concave portion is provided, the fingertip is not easily displaced, and the finger placement portion can be firmly grasped, so that stable operation is possible.

  The mouse according to claim 7 is the computer mouse according to any one of claims 1 to 6, wherein at least one click switch is arranged on a finger placement part in front of the main body part. The click switch can be easily operated with the index finger.

It is possible to operate a screen scrolling switch that also functions as a switch.

  In the mouse according to claim 7, since the fingertip of the forefinger has a relatively wide movable range, the first click switch having a high frequency of use and the second click switch having a low frequency of use are within the movable range of the index finger. It is also possible to operate both of them with the index finger.

In the mouse according to claims 7 to 9, as with the conventional mouse, the index finger can be lifted on the click switch so that the click operation can be performed quickly. Unlike the conventional mouse, the middle finger can not click the middle finger, and in that case, the tip of the middle finger, the ring finger, and the little finger are always placed on the finger rest. When placed on the mouse, the middle finger, ring finger, and little finger support the hand to draw a natural arch.
For this reason, it is extremely easy to continue to lift the index finger on the click switch in this state, unlike when the index finger and the middle finger are lifted simultaneously like a conventional mouse.

  The mouse according to claim 10 is the computer mouse according to claim 7, wherein a screen scrolling switch is disposed at a position on the left side surface of the main body that can be operated with the thumb, and the scroll switch is operated with the thumb. can do.

The computer mouse according to any one of claims 7 to 10, wherein both a moving operation for applying a force in a horizontal direction and a click operation for applying a force in a vertical direction are possible. is there.
This mouse adjusts the spring pressure of the click switch slightly stronger, so that the fingertip presses the surrounding bulge when applying force in the horizontal direction with the fingertip of the index finger placed lightly on the click switch. The index finger can be used for both the move operation and the click operation. For example, when the mouse stops at the position where the mouse clicks, the click switch can be pushed down by applying a force in the vertical direction. Thus, a more stable moving operation can be performed than when the index finger is lifted and the moving operation is performed with only the middle finger, the ring finger, the little finger, and the thumb.

  The mouse according to claim 12 is provided with a raised portion in a band shape from the click switch to the rear, and an index finger can be placed thereon, according to any one of claims 7 to 11. This is a computer mouse. The mouse can place an index finger on the raised portion, and by appropriately adjusting the shape and height of the raised portion, a click operation can be performed with the weight of the index finger left in the raised portion. For this reason, a more stable click operation is possible.

In the mouse according to claim 13, the finger rest on either one or both of the left and right sides of the mouse and the mouse main body are coupled by a pivotable hinge, and the finger rest is folded.

The computer mouse according to any one of claims 7 to 13 performs a moving operation in the front-rear direction by bending and stretching a finger, but when a finger is used in this way, the movable range of the fingertip is wide. By rotating the mouse horizontally and changing the angle of the mouse body relative to the mouse movement axis, and thus changing the wrist angle relative to the mouse movement axis, the direction of bending the finger is changed accordingly. It is possible to move the mouse in a certain direction, i.e. in the direction of the movement axis of the mouse.
Since the finger bending direction is also changed by changing the horizontal angle of the wrist in this way, the difference in the angle of the wrist causes a subtle difference in operational feeling during forward and backward movement operations.
The mouse according to claim 14 can change the angle formed by the mouse main body with respect to the movement axis of the mouse by rotating the movement distance detection unit and the main body housing in the horizontal direction.
