Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea]

0001

[Industrial application field]

This invention is a TV program that allows users to enjoy games, etc. on a TV screen using various game software. For more information regarding the controller of the video game console, please refer to the controller operation device ( A video game machine console with improved operability (consisting of a cursor machine and a trigger machine) regarding the controller.

0002

[Conventional technology]

Conventional video game console controllers are equivalent to cursor and trigger devices. An appropriate flat surface such as a square shape or an ellipse shape that incorporates the parts integrally (in a state that cannot be separated and independent) It consists of a controller body that has a shape, and the fingers on the surface of this controller body Products with cursor buttons and trigger buttons located in easy-to-touch positions are known. ing.

0003

[Problem that the idea aims to solve]

By the way, conventional controllers have cursor buttons and triggers as mentioned above. Since the button position was fixedly installed in a predetermined position, the operator had to Hold the controller in your hand, place it at the button location, and bend and extend your elbow. Users had to operate the device while bending or straightening their fingertips.

0004 For this reason, depending on individual differences among operators, they may be forced to take an unreasonable posture, so the operating conditions may vary. There were times when I felt something strange and found it difficult to use. This invention addresses individual differences such as right-handedness and left-handedness, individual differences in finger length and hand size, and Considering the differences between children, etc., we have made it possible to install the control device in the position that is most convenient for use. It is. In other words, if necessary, the cursor machine and trigger machine can be integrated, Or, it is possible to make it into a separate state, and furthermore, it is possible to switch the control part of the control device from left to right. By changing the position, the bending angle of both elbows of the operator can be changed freely. While following the basic shape of conventional controllers, we have improved the operability of the controller. The aim is to provide a controller for a television game machine with improved performance.

[0005]

[Means to solve the problem]

Therefore, in this invention, the operating device is divided into a cursor device and a trigger device. The cursor device and trigger device are held on the connecting board so that they can be freely fitted and rolled. In order to achieve this, approximately semicircular recesses are formed symmetrically on the left and right edges of the connection board. The cursor device and the trigger device are formed with a slide fitting portion that engages with the recessed notch. By forming a grip part on the cursor machine and the trigger machine, the problem can be solved. It is intended as a means to solve the problem.

[0006]

[Effect]

By using the structure of this invention, the cursor machine and the trigger can be connected to the connecting board. You can change the engagement position with the gar machine or change the engagement angle with the connecting board. Or even remove the cursor device and trigger device from the connection board and position them freely. It is also possible to use

[0007]

【Example】

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained based on the drawings. Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of the present invention, and Figure 2 is A front view of the state in which the cursor device and the trigger device are engaged with the connection board, Figure 3 is the same plane. Figure 4 is the right side view, Figure 5 is the back view, Figure 6 is the front view in use, and Figure 7 is the operation. It is a front view of a state where the left and right sides of the parts are swapped. In the figure, numeral 1 is a cursor machine, 2 is a trigger machine, and 3 is a thin plate-shaped suitcase. This is a connecting board of any shape, and these are usually made of ABS resin or the like. At the bottom of cursor device 1 and trigger device 2, there is a grip that is convenient for the operator to grasp. Tap portions 4a and 4b are formed.

[0008] In addition, approximately semicircular recessed portions 5a and 5b are formed symmetrically on the left and right edges of the connection board. is forming. Furthermore, appropriate shaped slides are placed on the cursor device 1 and trigger device 2. Slide fitting portions 6a, 6b are formed, and these slide fitting portions 6a, 6b are When pressed and fitted into the recessed notches 5a and 5b, the slide fitting parts 6a and 6b become recessed notches. The elastic force of 5a and 5b maintains the engagement while having an appropriate frictional force. here The shape of the ID fitting portions 6a, 6b is such that they can be freely engaged with the recessed notches 5a, 5b. Any form is acceptable as long as it is acceptable.

[0009] While grasping the grips 4a and 4b, apply some force to the cursor device 1 and the trimmer. When the cursor machine 2 is rotated along the plane of the connecting board, the cursor machine appears as shown in Figure 6. and the trigger device are rotated to the desired engagement angle. Next, grasp the grips 4a and 4b of the cursor device and trigger device and slide them. Pull the fitting parts 6a, 6b in the direction away from the openings of the recessed parts 5a, 5b of the connecting board 3. If you push it out, you can remove the cursor device and trigger device from the connection board. Both operating devices can also be operated in the free position where they are removed. On the other hand, as shown in Figure 7 Insert the left and right positions of the cursor device and trigger device into the concave notches 5a and 5b of the connection board. It is also possible to engage and hold it instead. In either case, the grip portion 4a , 4b enables the operator to stably hold the operating device.

0010 The cross key 7 of the cursor device 1 moves the cursor on the screen in 4 directions (or 8 directions). The start button 8 of the trigger device 2 is the key used when starting the game. It is pressed to turn it on at the start of the game, and the select button 9 is used to select It is used when deciding on options. Furthermore, code 10 is a trigger button, 11 is a rapid fire button, 12a and 12b are also trigger buttons on the back side of the control device. It is used from time to time depending on the type of game software. Also code 13 is the code.

[0011]

[Effect of the idea]

Therefore, according to the present invention, the cursor device and the trigger device are connected to predetermined positions on the connecting board. You can use it as is, or adjust the position by changing the engagement holding angle. , swap the left and right controls, and even connect the cursor and trigger devices. Excellent effects such as being able to be removed from the connection board and used in any position There is.
