Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the device belongs]

 The present invention relates to a mouse, particularly a mouse in which the entire body of the mouse is made of an impact resistant material.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Recently, a mouse is often used as an input device for a computer. The mouse rotates the ball provided on the bottom by moving the mouse, detects the amount of movement and the direction of movement based on the amount of rotation, moves the pointer (cursor), and operates (clicks) the click button to move to the computer. It is a device for inputting. Since the mouse is moved and operated by placing a hand on the whole body of the mouse, various modifications have been made to the shape of the body and the position of the operation buttons, and the shape of the body is generally familiar to the palm. It is shaped and made of a hard plastic material.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, for a mouse with a body made of plastic, for example, a thin plastic material tends to be used to reduce the weight of the entire mouse. Therefore, there is a danger of damage if the product is dropped or given a strong impact that concentrates on one point.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a mouse that is impact resistant and easy to operate.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve this problem, the present invention comprises a bottom plate, a body attached to the bottom plate, and a mouse internal mechanism housed in a space between the body and the bottom plate, and the entire body is made of an elastic material. It adopts a structured configuration.

The elastic material is, for example, rubber such as synthetic rubber, polyurethane, and high density polyurethane.

In the present invention, the entire body is made of wood, stone, metal, ceramics or the like.

As described above, when the entire body of the mouse according to the present invention is made of an elastic material, a shock-resistant mouse can be obtained because it can absorb impact, while wood, stone, metal, When made of ceramics, the body of the mouse is resistant to mechanical shocks because these materials have inherent shock resistance.

[0009]

[Embodiment of device]

 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail based on an embodiment shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows an external view of the mouse according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows an outline of the disassembled state of the mouse. In each figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a mouse body having click buttons 1a and 1b. The bottom plate 2 of the mouse is in the shape of a box, and the internal mechanism 3 of the mouse is housed in the bottom plate 2. The internal mechanism 3 comprises a ball 3a, a circuit element 3b, etc., and these are arranged on a circuit board 3c fixed to the bottom plate 2. The bottom plate 2 is provided with a mounting screw hole 2a, and a screw (not shown) can be fixed to the body 1 and the bottom plate 2 by passing a screw (not shown) through the screw hole 2a from the bottom plate and screwing the screw into a corresponding receiving portion of the body 1. It will be possible. Further, the bottom plate 2 is provided with a concave portion 2b, through which the cord 4 is inserted.

In such a mouse, for example, when the mouse is placed on a flat place and is moved, the ball 3a is rotated. Therefore, by detecting the rotation amount with an encoder (not shown), the movement amount and the movement amount can be changed. You can detect the direction and move the pointer. Therefore, by clicking the click buttons 1a and 1b, various instructions corresponding to the position of the pointer can be given to the computer.

Since the movement and operation of the mouse are performed by placing a hand on the entire body of the mouse, various modifications have been made to the shape of the body and the position of the click button. Shaped to fit in, made of plastic material. For example, a mouse with a body made of plastic tends to use a thin-walled plastic material, and there is a risk of breaking when a strong impact is applied.

Therefore, in the present invention, the entire body (including the click buttons 1a and 1b) is made of an elastic member such as synthetic rubber, polyurethane, or high-density polyurethane rubber. If the entire body is made up of such elastic members, the elastic members absorb the impact even if a strong impact is applied, so that the risk of damaging the mouse (body) is eliminated.

Further, since the body is made of an elastic member, it is possible to obtain an effect that it is easy for an operator to get familiar with the hand and the operation becomes comfortable. Further, when the body is made of rubber or the like, a proper amount of friction can be obtained, so that the click finger can be prevented from slipping and the operability can be improved.

Further, when the body is made of high-density polyurethane, the weight of the entire mouse increases, so that movement of the mouse at the time of clicking can be suppressed, and accurate control of the pointer becomes possible.

In another embodiment of the present invention, the entire body is made of wood, stone, metal, ceramic or other material. All of these materials have impact resistance and can prevent damage due to mechanical impact on the body. In addition, when the body is made of wood, a particularly soft feeling can be created, and the operator's fatigue is softened.

On the other hand, when the body is made of a stone material (particularly marble is preferable), the solid feeling of the mouse is increased and the commercial value can be increased.

Further, in the case of being made of a material such as stone, metal, or ceramics, the weight can be increased, and as described above, the movement of the mouse at the time of clicking can be suppressed, and the accuracy can be improved. Various effects are obtained, such as the control of the pointer.

In the embodiment described above, the click buttons 1a and 1b are included in the body and made of the same material. However, the click buttons 1a and 1b are not included in the so-called body and may be made of different materials. Good.

[0020]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, in the present invention, since the entire body is made of a shock resistant material, it is possible to prevent the body from being damaged by a strong mechanical shock. Further, by using an elastic material, wood, stone material, metal, ceramics, or the like for the entire body, it becomes possible to obtain the unique effects described above.
