Description of the Related Art A position input device called a mouse used for a computer or the like detects the amount of movement when it is moved on a plane, which causes a cursor to move to an arbitrary position on a display screen and a menu. Select and position. Further, this position input device is provided with a slide type switch for switching the resolution on the lower surface of the main body in order to convert the movement amount of the cursor on the display screen with respect to the movement amount. And when inputting,
According to the display on the display screen, lift the main body of the position input device and slide the switch on the bottom to switch the resolution.

ようにしたものである。In the above-mentioned conventional position input device, when the switch is switched to set the resolution small and the cursor is moved to a large position, the position input device is repeated and the number of times is increased. Also have to move. On the other hand, if the resolution is set to a large value, the cursor will be moved excessively even if the cursor is delicately moved. Therefore, it is necessary to frequently operate the switch in order to switch the resolution during the input operation. However, for that purpose, the main body must be lifted once and the switch on the lower surface must be slid to switch, which makes the work very complicated. Therefore, the present invention does not require lifting of the main body and can easily switch the resolution.

When the position input device is moved on a plane, the amount of this movement is detected, whereby the cursor is moved to an arbitrary place on the display screen. An operation button 1 for selecting a menu and determining a position is attached to the upper surface of the main body 2 of the position input device.

ぞれの分解能の設定値に切換わる。At the base end of the main body 2, a cover 4 formed so as to cover the upper surface of the main body 2 except the operation button 1 is rotatably attached by a rotary shaft 3. A switch unit 5 for switching the resolution is arranged between the cover 1 and the tip of the main body 2. That is, the switch unit 5 is attached to the upper surface of the main body 2 and operates when pressed to switch the resolution, and between the upper surface of the main body 2 and the lower surface of the cover 4 at both ends of the switch 6. It is attached and is formed of springs 7a and 7b that support the cover 4 so that there is a gap between the switch 6 and the cover 4 in a normal state. It should be noted that the resolution is set to a plurality of two kinds or three kinds, and when the switch 6 is operated, it is switched to the set value of each resolution.

は、上記操作を繰返せばよい。In the position input device of the present invention, just like the conventional position input device, when the device moves on a plane, the amount of this movement is detected by the main body 2, whereby the cursor is placed at an arbitrary position on the display screen. Is moved and the operation button 1 is operated to select a menu or determine a position. When switching the resolution, if the tip of the cover 4 is pushed down, the cover 4 moves downward around the rotary shaft 3, the springs 7a and 7b contract, and the lower surface of the cover 4 pushes the switch 6. , Switch 6 is operated, and the resolution is switched. After the switch 6 is actuated, the cover 1 is closed by the springs 7a and 7b.
Returns to the top. Further, when switching the resolution, the above operation may be repeated.

Is configured to switch to each set value of the resolution when it is pressed and operated, but it is configured to set the resolution in two stages: the state when it is not pressed and the state when it is pressed. You may. In this case, the resolution in the state where the switch 6 is not pressed is set to a value that is frequently used. With this configuration, normally, when the cover 1 is located above and the switch 6 is not pressed, the input operation is performed and the cover 1 is pressed only when the resolution needs to be switched. Since the input operation can be performed while 6 is pressed, the resolution switching operation becomes easier.
