JP6156690B2 - Mouse pad with cushion - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a mouse mud, and more particularly to a cushioned mouse mud with a cushion.

  Since the mouse is used in a state where the wrist and the upper arm are floated, a burden is placed on each part of the body, and the mouse operation may be considered as one cause of fatigue.

  Patent Document 1 discloses a mouse pad including a pad portion and a wrist rest portion. The mouse pad of Patent Document 1 has a curved recess in the wrist rest portion, and it is possible to reduce fatigue even during long-time work by supporting and fixing the wrist during mouse operation. Patent Document 2 discloses a mouse pad that includes a flat pad portion and a raised armrest portion, and can be operated without moving the wrist by placing the armrest portion near the wrist, thereby reducing fatigue. ing. Patent Document 3 discloses a mouse pad in which the pad surface is lowered from the front of the mouse user toward the back, and the mouse can be operated easily without bending the wrist.

  However, since the wrist of the mouse pad of Patent Document 1 is fixed at the depression in the wrist rest part, the movement of the mouse is limited. Moreover, since the operation must be performed only with the wrist, the burden on the wrist is large. Moreover, since the armrest part is protruding and the pad part is low, the mouse pad of patent document 2 will be in the state which bends and uses a wrist and the burden to a wrist is large. And although the mouse pad of patent document 3 can reduce the fatigue by bending a wrist, the burden for supporting a wrist and an upper arm is not reduced.

  This invention is made | formed in view of the said subject (situation), and makes it the subject which should be solved to provide the mouse pad with a cushion which can reduce the fatigue of mouse operation.

(1) The constitutional feature of the invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is that the cushion has a viscoelastic body and supports the wrist;
An upper opening, a lower depression, and a first storage portion for storing the cushion ;
A second storage portion for storing the cushion and the first storage portion;
It is to provide.

  A viscoelastic body has a property that combines both viscosity and elasticity. After being deformed by applying external force, the viscoelastic body does not return immediately even if the external force is lost, and returns slowly.

The invention of the above (1) can employ any one or more of the configurations of (2) or ( 3 ) described below.

  (2) The first storage portion has a chamfered portion in which an inner peripheral end surface of the opening has a chamfered shape.

( 3 ) The cushioned mouse pad has an inclined portion that becomes lower as the user's near side is closer to the front than the first storage portion.

In the invention of (1), since the wrist of the mouse user is supported by the viscoelastic body, the body pressure of the hand or arm can be dispersed in the viscoelastic body, and the fatigue of mouse operation can be reduced. Moreover, since the 1st accommodating part which accommodates the cushion in which the viscoelastic body is accommodated is depressed, it is hard to shift | deviate the position of a cushion by movements, such as a mouse | mouth operation.
Further, the second storage part prevents the cushion (viscoelastic body) and the first storage part from shifting, and the wrist and the cushion are easily aligned.

  In the invention of (2), since the first storage portion has a chamfered portion, the deformation of the viscoelastic body (up and down, front and rear, left and right) is hardly hindered, and thus it is difficult to restrict the movement of the wrist. In addition, since it is difficult to restrict the movement of the wrist, it is easy to operate the mouse, and wrist fatigue can be further reduced.

In the invention of ( 3 ), since it has an inclined part on the near side, the arm does not easily come into contact with a mouse pad having a height for making a recess for housing the cushion.

It is a perspective view of a mouse pad and a mouse of Embodiment 1. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the main body of the mouse pad and the mouse according to the first embodiment. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view in the front-rear direction of the main body of the mouse pad according to the first embodiment. FIG. 3 is a plan view of a main body portion of the mouse pad according to the first embodiment. It is explanatory drawing which shows an example of a viscoelastic body. FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of using the mouse pad according to the first embodiment.

  A typical embodiment of a cushioned mouse pad (hereinafter referred to as “mouse pad”) according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

(Embodiment 1)
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the mouse pad 1 according to the first embodiment is a first housing in which a pad surface 11 on which a mouse rests and a cushion 2 on which a wrist or arm is placed are housed in a main body 10. Part 12. The main body 10 is preferably made of a relatively hard material. As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the pad surface 11 is inclined so that the surface gradually becomes lower from the front side of the user side toward the back side in the usable state. For example, it is inclined about 4 degrees. And the 1st accommodating part 12 is opened upwards and is hollow in the column shape below. The opening portion includes a chamfered portion 121 that is inclined so that the diameter increases from the inside toward the opening.

The cushion 2 contains a viscoelastic body 22 inside a cover 21 and can be freely attached to and detached from the first storage portion 12 . The cover 21 is preferably made of a material that does not slip easily with respect to the first storage portion 12 , wrist, arm, or the like, but a material that has good skin contact is also preferred. As shown in FIG. 5, the viscoelastic body 22 has a cylindrical shape, and is easily deformed in all directions such as up, down, front, back, left, and right by applying force, and easily returns to the original cylindrical shape. Examples of the material of the viscoelastic body 22 include a styrene elastomer impregnated with oil.

  In addition, the mouse pad 1 has an inclined portion 13 that is formed so that the height gradually decreases from the first storage portion 12 of the main body portion 10 toward the front. For example, it is inclined about 22 degrees.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the mouse pad 1 according to the first embodiment is used by placing a mouse on the pad surface 11 and placing a hand on the mouse and a wrist on the cushion 2.

  According to the mouse pad 1 of the first embodiment, since the wrist and arm of the mouse user can be supported by the viscoelastic body 22, the body pressure of the hand and arm can be distributed to the viscoelastic body 22, The fatigue of mouse operation can be reduced. Further, since the viscoelastic body 22 has a cylindrical shape, it can be easily deformed in all directions such as up, down, front, back, left, and right, and it is difficult to restrain the movement of the wrist, thereby further reducing fatigue. And since the 1st accommodating part 12 which accommodates the cushion 2 in which the viscoelastic body 22 is accommodated is depressed, the position of the cushion 2 is hard to shift | deviate by movements, such as a mouse | mouth operation.

  Furthermore, since the first storage portion 12 has the chamfered portion 121, it is difficult to prevent various deformations of the viscoelastic body 22 (up / down / front / back / left / right). In addition, since it is difficult to restrict the movement of the wrist and arm, it is easy to operate the mouse, and the fatigue of the wrist and arm can be further reduced.

In addition, since the inclined portion 13 is provided on the front side, it is difficult for the arm to come into contact with the mouse pad 1 having a height for making a recess for storing the cushion 2. The pad surface 11 is lowered gradually height toward the front in late crop, since it is the Turkey to the mouse not bend the wrist, it is possible to reduce fatigue of the wrist.

  In addition, since the cushion 2 can be freely attached and detached from the main body 10, it can be used as a relaxation goods that can be removed and enjoy softness.

(Embodiment 2)
The basic configuration of the mouse pad according to the second embodiment is the same as that of the mouse pad 1 according to the first embodiment. Below, it demonstrates focusing on a different structure.

  The mouse pad of the second embodiment has a second storage part. The second storage unit stores the cushion 2 and the first storage unit 12. The second storage portion prevents the cushion 2 and the first storage portion 12 from being displaced, and the wrist and the cushion 2 are easily aligned.

(Other embodiments)
The preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described above, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, it is not limited to a cylindrical shape, and may be a rectangular column or the like as long as it is relatively small with respect to the width of the main body 10. It is preferable that the wrist or arm can be followed and the mouse operation can be followed without being fixed. That is, the viscoelastic body 22 does not simply support the wrist or arm, but is preferably a material and shape that can be deformed to follow the mouse operation.

(Appendix)
(1) The viscoelastic body has a cylindrical shape. By making the viscoelastic body into a cylindrical shape, it is easy to deform back and forth and right and left following the movement of the wrist and arm, so it is difficult to hinder the movement of the wrist and arm. In addition, since the wrist movement is not restricted, the mouse can be operated with the entire arm, and wrist fatigue can be reduced.

  (2) The cushion is detachable from the pad. It can be used as a relaxation goods that can be removed from the pad and enjoy softness. Moreover, it can be moved to another place and used as a cushion.

  (3) The cushion supports from the wrist to the elbow. Viscoelastic body can disperse body pressure not only from wrist but also from wrist to elbow.
