Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 This invention relates to mouse operation when using a computer, and the code of the mouse (hereinafter referred to as the code) supports the code so as not to hinder the operation of the mouse. It concerns wires and their retainers.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Usually, it is common to operate the mouse on the desk or on the mouse pad placed on the desk without using any means for dealing with the code.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 Generally, when using a computer, the desk tends to be complicated and narrow due to the outside of the computer or the display, documents or writing instruments. When operating the mouse, the cord within the range of 20 to 30 cm from the tip of the mouse moves following the mouse operation and scratches the top of the desk. It often happens that the mouse is supported by documents and interferes with the smooth operation of the mouse. This tendency is particularly strong in the case of image processing operations. The present invention is intended to facilitate the operation of a mouse by supporting the code almost directly above the operation surface of the mouse so that the code will not be twisted on the desk surface.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 To achieve the above object, the present invention comprises a supporting wire for supporting a cord and a holding tool for the supporting wire. (Refer to Fig. 1) The holder is composed of a fixture to be installed on a desk, a wire holder to be attached to the fixture, a connecting wire to be attached to the wire holder, and a connecting pipe to connect the connecting wire and the supporting wire. .

The support wire is one in which one end of an elastic elongated wire is bent in a U shape, and a cord is hooked on the support wire to support it at a height of about 30 to 40 cm on the operation surface of the mouse. The other end of the supporting wire is connected to and held by the connecting wire using a connecting tube. If a sufficient length can be obtained with only the support wire depending on the installation position of the fixing bracket, attach the support wire directly to the wire holder to support the cord.

The fixing bracket is a substantially U-shaped holder, and has a fixing bolt for fixing the fixing bracket on the lower surface, and screw holes for attaching the wire holder are provided on the horizontal surface and the vertical surface of the fixing bracket. It is provided with, and fixed to one end of the desk with a fixing bolt, and attach the wire holder to the screw hole.

[0007] The above-mentioned fixing metal fittings can be installed by laying a horizontal plane of an L-shaped thin metal plate under a heavy object such as a computer main body of a desk or a display, and providing a screw hole on a vertical surface to attach a wire holder. is there.

The wire holder is a disc-shaped holder, and a mounting screw is provided in the center for attaching to a fixing metal fitting, and a wire for attaching a connecting wire or a supporting wire is attached to the outer periphery. It has a through hole. Attach to the fixing bracket with the mounting screw, and then attach the connecting wire or supporting wire through the wire through hole.

The connecting wire is an elastic long and thin wire for compensating for the lack of the length of the supporting wire. One end of the connecting wire is attached to the wire through hole of the wire holder, and the other end of the connecting wire is used. Connect and hold the support wires.

The connection pipe is a thin pipe for connecting the connection wire and the support wire.

The above-mentioned fixing metal fitting can also be attached through a connecting wire or a supporting wire by providing a wire passing hole in the fixing metal fitting without using a wire holder. Further, instead of the connecting pipe, it is possible to adjust the length of the supporting wire by using two connecting rings having holes for receiving two wires.

Since the load applied to the support wire and each holder is extremely small, it is desirable to reduce the size and weight as much as possible.

[0013]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 An embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cord support of a mouse and a usage example. As shown in the figure, one end of the connecting wire 6 is passed through the wire through hole 10 of the wire holder 5 attached to the fixture A1 installed on the desk, and the supporting wire 7 is connected to the other end by using the connecting pipe 8. Then, the cord 15 is hooked on the tip of the support wire 7 to support it. The connecting wire 6 and the supporting wire 7 are appropriately bent and adjusted. When a sufficient length can be obtained only with the support wire 7, the connection wire 6 and the connection pipe 8 are not used, and the support wire 7 is directly attached to the wire through hole 10. The cord 15 should be supported at a height of about 30 to 40 cm just above the operation surface of the mouse 14, with sufficient slack between the cord 15 and the mouse 15 so that the cord 15 does not touch the top surface of the desk. easy. When the cord 15 is long, it is preferable to wind it around the support wire 7 once or twice as shown in the figure. The connecting wire 6 or the supporting wire 7 passed through the wire passing hole 10 does not slide down because the wire itself bends due to the load of the cord 15 applied to the tip portion. It is desirable that the wire passage hole 10 has a diameter that gives a slight resistance when the connection wire 6 or the support wire 7 is passed through.

FIG. 2A is a perspective view of the fixture A1. The fixing metal fitting A1 is a substantially U-shaped metal fitting having a thickness of about 2 mm and a width of about 10 mm, and is fixed to the desk by a fixing bolt 11 on the lower surface. The screw holes 13 on the horizontal surface and the vertical surface are for selectively attaching the wire holder 5 depending on the mounting direction of the fixing bracket A1.

FIG. 2B is a perspective view of the wire holder 5. The wire holder 5 is a plastic disk having a diameter of 25 mm and a thickness of about 8 mm, in which a metal mounting screw 12 is embedded in the center, and a wire passing hole 10 is provided in a cross shape on the outer periphery. Any of the wire through holes 10 is used depending on the angle of the wire through hole 10 of the attached wire holder 5. The length of the exposed portion of the mounting screw 12 is the same as the wall thickness of the fixing bracket A1.

FIG. 3 is a side view of the support wire 7. The supporting wire 7 is a piano wire having a diameter of 1 mm and a length of about 40 to 50 cm, and the cord 15 is hooked on the U-shaped portion at one end to support it.

FIG. 4A is a side view of the connection wire 6. The connection wire 6 is the same as the support wire 7 except for the U-shaped portion.

FIG. 4B is a perspective view of the connecting pipe 8. The connection pipe 8 is a pipe made of aluminum or plastic.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the fixing bracket B2. The fixing metal fitting B2 is an L-shaped metal metal fitting having a width of 8 mm, a horizontal portion having a thickness of 0.8 mm, and a vertical portion having a thickness of about 2 mm, and has a screw hole 13 for attaching the wire holder 5 to the vertical surface. Is provided. Use it by placing a horizontal surface under a heavy object such as a computer or a display.

FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B are perspective views of the fixing fitting C3 and the fixing fitting D4. The fixing bracket C3 and the fixing bracket D4 are the same as the fixing bracket A1 and the fixing bracket B2 except that the screw hole 13 is replaced with the wire through hole 10. The connection wire 6 or the support wire 7 is attached to the wire through hole 10 provided in the horizontal portion and the vertical portion of the metal fitting, or the vertical portion.

FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the connection ring 9. The connection ring 9 replaces the connection pipe 8 and is a pair of rings made of hard rubber or plastic. The length of the supporting wire 7 is adjusted by connecting the connecting wire 6 and the supporting wire 7 to each other.

[0022]

[Effect of the invention]

 Since the cord comes down from just above the mouse operation surface, the mouse operation is smooth without scratching the desk surface or catching documents.
