The first top plate 130 has a first end 132 and a second end 134, and the first end 132 is pivoted on one side of the first bottom plate 110 so as to be relatively away from the second bottom plate 120. The second top plate 140 has a third end 142 and a fourth end 144, and the fourth end 144 is pivoted on one side of the second bottom plate 120 so as to be relatively away from the first bottom plate 110. The two flexible side shield members 150 are connected to two side surfaces of the first top plate 130 and the second top plate 140 and the first bottom plate 110 and the second bottom plate 120.

  As described above, the first of the foldable mouse 100 is used to support the force applied to the foldable mouse 100 when used by the user and to prevent the overall weight of the foldable mouse 100 from becoming too heavy. The bottom plate 110, the second bottom plate 120, the first top plate 130, and the second top plate 140 are all made of plastic. The first top plate 130 further has a first joining structure 136 installed at the second end 134, and the second top plate 140 is further provided with a second joining structure 146 installed at the third end 142. Have

  In use, the first joint structure 136 of the foldable mouse 100 joins the second joint structure 146. The first joint structure 136 is a recess, and the second joint structure 146 is a protrusion. Since the first top plate 130 and the second top plate 140 fixed together are arc-shaped, when the user holds the folding mouse 100, the first top plate 130 and the second top plate 140 You can lean back. If it is an engineer in this field | area, the shape of said 1st joining structure 136 and 2nd joining structure 146 can be changed based on an actual demand. In addition, the folding mouse 100 according to the present embodiment further includes a circuit board 160 installed on the first bottom plate 110. The second bottom plate 120 is disposed on the first bottom plate 110, and a small part of the second bottom plate 120 is disposed on the first bottom plate 110.

  4 to 6 are schematic sectional views showing a flow of folding and storing the folding mouse shown in FIG. As should be explained, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view, but when viewed along the line AA in FIG. 1, a frame leg can be seen at a portion where the elevated frame 170 and the first bottom plate 110 are in contact with each other. Accordingly, FIGS. 4 to 6 do not illustrate a frame leg in a portion where the elevated frame 170 and the first bottom plate 110 are in contact with each other. Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 at the same time, when the user tries to store the folding mouse 100 without continuing to use the folding mouse 100 according to the present embodiment, the user firstly connects the first joint structure 136 and the second joint structure 136. After the joint structures 146 are released from each other, the third end 142 of the second top plate 140 is relatively rotated around the fourth end 144 as a rotation axis to approach the second bottom plate 120.

  3 and 5, the second bottom plate 120 moves to a predetermined position relative to the first bottom plate 110 in a direction approaching the first end 132 of the first top plate 130. At this time, the second top plate 140 is disposed below the first top plate 130, and the second bottom plate 120 is disposed so that most of the second bottom plate 120 overlaps the first bottom plate 110. It should be noted that the folding mouse 100 may further include an elevated frame 170 installed on the first bottom plate 110, and by installing the circuit board 160 on the elevated frame 170. The distance D may be separated between the circuit board 160 and the first bottom plate 110. When the elevated frame 170 is installed, the second bottom plate 120 moves relative to the first bottom plate 110 in a direction approaching the first end 132 of the first top plate 130. The second bottom plate 120 is limited by the circuit board 160 when the circuit board 160 is installed directly on the first bottom plate 110 to pass the distance D separated between the plate 160 and the first bottom plate 110. It is possible to prevent a situation in which it is impossible to move to a predetermined position relative to the bottom plate 110, and it is possible to prevent the subsequent folding mouse 100 from being affected.

  A person having ordinary knowledge in this technical field can change the implementation method for elevating the circuit board 160 based on actual demand. For example, a rib capable of supporting the circuit board 160 may be directly stretched on the first bottom plate 110, and the circuit board 160 may be elevated in the same manner.

  Subsequently, referring to FIG. 6, the second end 134 of the first top plate 130 rotates relative to the first end 132 as a rotation axis, and the first top plate 130 is left on the second top plate 140. As a result, folding of the folding mouse 100 is completed, and the folding mouse 100 is in the retracted state. In particular, the material of the flexible side shielding member 150 of the present embodiment may be a sponge or rubber that deforms when pressed. Therefore, when the folding mouse 100 is stored, the flexible side shielding member 150 is pushed and deformed, and the volume of the flexible side shielding member 150 becomes smaller than before the deformation.

  Compared with the folding mouse 100 in use (shown in FIG. 3), the size of the folding mouse 100 in the storage state (shown in FIG. 6) is reduced in both the thickness direction and the length direction. Therefore, the entire volume of the folding mouse 100 is reduced, which is convenient for the user to carry or store.

  FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating a usage state of the folding mouse according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram illustrating a storage state of the folding mouse of FIG. Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8 at the same time, the present embodiment and the above-described embodiment are substantially the same, but differ in the following points: The folding mouse 200 of the present embodiment has a first bottom plate 210 and a second bottom plate 220. The circuit board 160 is directly installed on the first bottom plate 210. This eliminates the need to further install an elevated frame 170 (shown in FIG. 3) on the first bottom plate 210, thereby reducing the number of members used by the folding mouse 200, thereby reducing costs. Can be lowered effectively.

  As described above, the folding mouse of the present invention can reduce the size of the folding mouse in both the thickness direction and the length direction when it is in the retracted state. Since the volume can be reduced, it is convenient for the user to carry and store.

  As described above, the present invention has been disclosed by the embodiments. However, the present invention is not intended to limit the present invention, and is within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention so that those skilled in the art can easily understand. Therefore, the scope of patent protection should be defined based on the scope of claims and the equivalent area.
