BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a computer apparatus and a keyboard. To For example, a desktop personal computer and a keyboard used therefor To It is suitable for application.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as a personal computer of this type, a liquid crystal display is connected to a main body for executing various signal processes via a predetermined first signal cable and a keyboard is connected via a predetermined second signal cable. There is something that was configured.
[0003]
In the personal computer having such a configuration, various commands input via the keyboard are given to the main body via the second cable so that the main body can execute signal processing according to the various commands. Has been made.
[0004]
At this time, the main body transmits an image signal representing the content of signal processing to the liquid crystal display via the first cable, and displays an image based on the image signal on a liquid crystal panel provided in the liquid crystal display. The operator can visually confirm the signal processing contents.
[0005]
In addition, there is a gap between the keyboard housing and the keys and between the keys of the keyboard, and keyboards such as desktop personal computers are not covered by the display unit when not in use, so dust inside Is easy to enter, and it is difficult to remove dust once entering the interior. Therefore, a transparent resin keyboard cover having a shape that matches the shape of the key covers the surface on which the keyboard keys are arranged (hereinafter referred to as the key arrangement surface), and the keyboard cover is still covered. A cloth keyboard cover is used to allow key operations and to cover the keyboard when the keyboard is not in use.
[0006]
On the other hand, since there is a step between the keyboard mounting surface and the key side edge arranged at the bottom of the keyboard, the wrist of the operator is warped when the keyboard is used, and the key There is a lot of fatigue associated with the operation. For this reason, the palm rest which makes the above-mentioned level | step difference gentle is utilized.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, in a personal computer having such a configuration, a liquid crystal display is generally disposed at a predetermined position on a desk, and a keyboard is disposed at a desired position on the panel surface side of the liquid crystal display. Is designed to operate the keyboard.
[0008]
However, if the desk on which the personal computer is placed is relatively narrow, it may be necessary to store the keyboard once in one of the storage spaces when the document is spread on the desk between key operations. There was a problem that it was difficult to secure a storage space for the keyboard on the desk.
[0009]
In order to solve such a problem, there is a personal computer of this type configured as shown in FIGS. 17 (A) and 17 (B).
[0010]
In the personal computer 1 having such a configuration, a cathode ray tube 3 is connected to a main body (not shown) via a first signal cable 2 and a keyboard 5 is connected via a second signal cable 4. It is configured.
[0011]
In this case, in the personal computer 1 having such a configuration, the cathode ray tube 3 is arranged on the stand 6 having the leg portions 6A and 6B, and when the keyboard 5 is used, it is placed on the panel surface 3A side of the cathode ray tube 3 as desired. In the case where the document is placed on the desk (FIG. 17A), but the document is spread on the desk as described above, the keyboard 5 is moved between the legs 6A and 6B of the stand 6 so that the distance between the cathode lines 3 is increased. Can be stored in the lower side (FIG. 17B).
[0012]
However, the distance between the leg portions 6 </ b> A and 6 </ b> B of the stand 6 is selected according to the length of the keyboard 5 in the longitudinal direction, and the stand 6 is formed larger than the keyboard 5. For this reason, in order to secure the storage location of the keyboard 5 below the space 3 between the cathode lines, it is necessary to secure an installation location of the stand 6 larger than the keyboard 5, thus causing a problem that storage efficiency is extremely low.
[0013]
On the other hand, the cloth keyboard cover used for dustproof needs a storage place for non-use, and it is difficult to secure the storage place especially on a narrow desk. Also, with the keyboard cover made of transparent resin, the keys can be seen from the outside even in the cover state, so the appearance of the keyboard when not in use was not good. In addition, even though it is transparent, it is difficult to see the characters on the key in the cover state, and the touch feeling is not good in the cover state, so it is difficult to operate the key with the key arrangement surface covered.
[0014]
Furthermore, since the conventional palm rest is separate from the keyboard, a storage space for non-use is necessary, and it is difficult to secure the storage space especially on a narrow desk.
[0015]
The present invention has been made in consideration of the above points, and a computer apparatus and keyboard capable of improving the storage efficiency of a keyboard. Do It is what we are going to propose.
[0016]
