Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of an input device used in a personal computer or the like.

Conventional input devices of this type consist of a frequently used numeric (10) key input section used for normal work, and an alphanumeric input section (abbreviated as AN input section) that is used infrequently for file maintenance. ) are arranged on the same surface,
This input surface maintains the best height and angle for ergonomic operation.

However, since the slip table is disposed above the input surface, this causes a decrease in the efficiency of operations such as organizing slips. There is also a device that has a slip table placed on the side of the input device, but this has the disadvantage of requiring extra space for placing the slip table.

An object of the present invention is to provide an input device with a slip stand that improves operational efficiency and expands the work space by making the top surface of the slip stand the same or almost the same plane as the numeric keypad input surface.

The features of the present invention are that the alphanumeric input surface is placed one step lower than the numeric keypad input surface, a slip stand is removably provided on the alphanumeric input surface, and the top surface of the slip stand is covered with the numeric keypad. The reason is that it is made to be on the same or almost the same plane as the input surface.

The present invention will be described in detail below along with examples.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of the input section of the present invention. In the figure, 1 is the main body of the input device, 2 is the frequently used numeric keypad input section used for normal work, etc., 3 is the alphanumeric input section that is infrequently used and is used for file maintenance, etc., and 4 is the alphanumeric input section. Stoppers for fixing the slip table provided at both ends of the upper part of the input surface of the Merits input section, 5 is the frequently used numeric keypad input section 2
This soft sheet 5 is provided at a predetermined position on the input surface of the computer, and this soft sheet 5 gives a soft feel to the hand. In addition, this soft sheet 5 is
It may be pasted to fix it in the predetermined position.

Figures 2A and 2B are diagrams showing the configuration of an embodiment of the slip table of the present invention, with Figure A showing the front side and Figure B
The figure shows the back side. In the figure, reference numeral 6 denotes a slip table, and on both ends of the back side thereof, as shown in FIG. A stopper receiver 7 is provided which fits into the stopper receiver 7. The depth of the hole in the stopper receiver 7 is such that when the slip table 6 is set on the input surface of the alphanumeric input section 3 and engaged with the stopper 4, the key provided on the input surface is pressed. The slip table 6 is fixed in a position where the slip table 6 is not opened. Also,
As shown in FIG. 2A, a clip 8 for holding the slip is provided on the front side of the slip table 6.
Furthermore, a handle groove 9 is provided on one side of the slip table 6 in order to facilitate the operation of attaching and detaching the slip table 6 to the input device main body 1.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a state in which the slip table 6 is set in the input device main body 1 of this embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 3, the input device of this embodiment performs the following operations as shown in FIG. The slip stand 6 is set at a predetermined position on the input device main body 1. At this time, the stopper receiver 7 provided on the back surface of the slip table 6 and the stopper 4 provided on the input device main body 1 are fitted to fix the slip table 6. When the numeric keypad input surface and the slip stand 6 are set on the same or almost the same plane in this way, the numeric keypad input section 2 starts inputting normal work such as entering the contents of a slip.

It goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can be modified in various ways without changing the gist thereof.

As explained above, according to the present invention, since the numeric keypad input surface and the front surface of the slip table are made to be on the same or almost the same plane, it is possible to improve the efficiency of input operations and expand the work space. Furthermore, the degree of fatigue of the operator can also be reduced.
