Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mouse without causing any malfunction even in the case of unconsciously mounting a document or a manual or the like on the mouse while activating a personal computer. SOLUTION: Electrodes A and B1-B3 to be short-circuited by the contact of a hand are provided on the upper surface of a mouse main body 1 and mouse buttons 2a-2c and the electrodes are serially connected to a switch circuit S for clicking operated by the operations of the mouse buttons 2a-2c. Since the mouse permits the click operation of the mouse only when the electrode A and the electrode B are simultaneously touched with the hand and short- circuited, data are not clicked when only something is brought into contact with the mouse button or is mounted. Thus, the occurrence of accidental malfunction is prevented.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a mouse used for a data input device such as a personal computer.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, a mouse used for a data input device such as a personal computer (hereinafter referred to as a personal computer) is moved by moving a cursor displayed on a display and pressing a button switch. This is used when clicking the selected data. However, while starting up the personal computer, the user may unconsciously put documents, handbooks, etc. on the mouse, in which case the unnecessary data is clicked and panicked Sometimes.

[0003]

Therefore, as described above, the present invention does not cause a malfunction even if a document or a handbook is unconsciously placed on the mouse while the personal computer is running. It is an object to provide a mouse.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and comprises electrodes A and B which are turned on by the contact of the skin of a hand on the upper surface of a mouse, and this electrode is connected to a mouse button. The click switch circuit is connected in series with the click switch circuit operated by the above operation, and the click switch circuit is not closed even if the button switch is pressed except when the mouse is held by hand for operation. .

[0005]

In order to operate the mouse, when the mouse is gripped by hand, the skins of the palms, fingers, etc. are placed on the electrodes A,
When the mouse button is pressed, the switch circuit for click is closed and the click operation is performed. Even if the button is depressed, the electrodes A and B are not short-circuited, and no click operation is performed.

[0006]

1A and 1B show a first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1A is a plan view and FIG. 1B is an electric circuit diagram.

In FIG. 1, A is an electrode provided on the mouse body 1, and B1 to B3 are mouse buttons 2a, 2b, 2c.
In the embodiment, conductive electrodes are used as electrodes, and electrodes A and B are connected to a switch circuit S to which a click switch 3 which is turned on by a mouse button 2a is connected as shown in FIG. It is connected in series, and is provided at a position where when the mouse body 1 is gripped by hand, it is short-circuited due to skin contact between the palm and the finger.

Next, the operation will be described. When the mouse body 1 is gripped during operation and a finger is put on the mouse buttons 2a to 2c, the electrode A and the electrodes B1 to B3 are short-circuited by the palm and the skin of the finger. Then, when the mouse button is pressed, the click switch circuit S is closed and the click operation is performed.

However, even when a document or a handbook is placed on the mouse and any one of the mouse buttons 2a to 2c is pressed other than during the operation, the electrodes A and B are not short-circuited. Since the switch circuit S is not closed, no click operation is performed.

FIG. 2 shows a second embodiment of the present invention. In this case, the electrodes A and B are arranged so as to be turned on only by touching the palm.

[0011]

The mouse according to the present invention has electrodes A and B
The mouse can be clicked only when the hand is touched and short-circuited at the same time, so there is no need to touch the mouse button or click on the data just by placing it. Therefore, an unexpected malfunction can be prevented.

The present invention can provide an interesting design by devising the colors and shapes of the electrodes. For example, by making the electrodes in the form of eyes or in the form of spots of worms, it is possible to imitate interesting animals and dolls, so that children can be interested and contribute to the spread of personal computers. .
