Description

Mouse pad {mouse pad}

The present invention relates to a mouse pad, and more particularly, to a mouse pad that makes it possible to feel less pain and fatigue of the wrist even when working for a relatively long time.

A mouse, which is one of the input devices of a computer, is generally used on a learning or office desk, but in the case of a computer-only desk, it is used in a mouse seat provided separately from the top plate of the desk. In this case, the operator works by placing the mouse on a mouse pad on a square plate placed on a desk or mouse seat.

For example, in the case of right-handed, the worker grips the left side of the mouse with his thumb and the right side of the mouse with the ring finger and little finger. At this time, the index finger and middle finger are located at the button of the mouse and click the mouse button. In this case, the mouse pad supports the mouse which flows for work and the wrist of the worker who holds the mouse.

By the way, the conventional mouse pad has a problem that does not properly support the wrist of the operator working with the mouse. That is, during mouse operation, the mouse is positioned at the boundary area between the palm of the operator's palm and the wrist, wherein the bone, which is a bone located on an extension line from the little finger toward the wrist, is usually placed on a mouse pad or a desk or mouse seat. Always in contact with the upper surface of the negative. In particular, the operator who handles CAD or graphics, mainly due to the nature of the use of the mouse, at this time, the head region of the head always comes in contact with the plate surface of the mouse pad, thereby causing pain in the head region. In recent years, the general personal computer workers also work mainly in the GUI environment, thereby increasing the use time of the mouse, there is a problem that can feel the pain in the head bone.

Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a mouse pad that can comfortably support a wrist even when a worker uses a mouse for a long time in view of such a conventional problem.

According to the present invention, the above object is achieved by a mouse pad characterized by forming an inclination angle toward at least one side.

Here, it may be formed to form an upward inclination angle toward the right side, or to form an upward inclination angle toward the left side.

On the other hand, the center region may be formed higher than the left and right to form a downward inclination angle toward the left and right.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a perspective view of a mouse pad according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of Figure 1, these figures show a mouse pad for an operator performing a mouse operation using the right hand. The mouse pad 1 has a predetermined shape and has a layered structure including a bottom plate 5 and a mouse support surface 3. The bottom plate 5, which can be made of various materials, prevents slipping while being in contact with the bottom surface of a desk or the like, and provides an elastic force. The mouth paper ground 3 prevents the sliding of the mouse 21 placed on the top.

Such a mouse pad 1 is provided such that the right side region of the plate surface of the mouse support surface 3 is formed with a predetermined height relative to the left region, and the top portion 11 is biased toward the right end region 15. As a result, a downward inclination angle having a slightly steep inclination toward the right end region 15 is formed around the top 11 and a downward inclination angle having a relatively gentle inclination toward the left end region 13 is achieved. Form. Therefore, the plate surface of the mouse pad 1 is almost mountain-shaped as a whole. In the drawings, the angle of inclination is shown somewhat excessively for ease of explanation and understanding. The mouse 21 is placed on a plate surface that forms a gentle downward angle of inclination, ie, the mouse support surface 3 in the left region.

3 is a perspective view illustrating a state of use of the mouse pad according to the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a front view of FIG. As can be seen in these figures, the operator (right-handed) puts the mouse 21 on a plate surface that forms a gentle inclination angle of the mouse pad 1, i.e., the left area, and performs a desired operation. In this case, the wrist of the worker comes into contact with one end of the mouth ground 3, that is, the front region 17 in the drawing.

At this time, in the mouse pad 1, the lower region 31 of the thumb of the worker mainly comes into contact with the left region of the mouse support surface 3 having a predetermined inclination angle. On the other hand, the head bone (Pisiform bone) 35 is maintained in a state that is almost in contact with the mouse ground (3). Therefore, unlike when using a conventional mouse, the head region 35 can be prevented from directly contacting the upper surface of the mouse pad, it is possible to perform the operation in a comfortable and comfortable state for a relatively long time .

In addition, the user may feel fatigue of the wrist during the operation, in which case, the operator may move the lumbar bone (Lunate bone) 33 in the boundary region of the wrist and the palm to the top portion 11 of the mouse pad 1. You can work comfortably in contact with). At this time, the head bone of the operator 35 does not come into contact with the mouse support surface 3 of the mouse pad 1, so that pain is not caused.

On the other hand, unlike the above-described and illustrated embodiment, it is possible to provide a mouse pad having a different shape according to the inclination angle formed on the mouse ground. Figure 5 is a perspective view of a mouse pad according to a second embodiment of the present invention, a mouse pad for an operator performing a mouse operation using the left hand is shown. The mouse pad 41 according to the second embodiment has the same configuration as that of the first embodiment described above, and is provided such that only a relatively high top portion 11 is biased toward the left end region 13. Accordingly, a downward inclination angle having a somewhat steep inclination toward the left end region 13 is formed around the top portion 11, and a downward inclination angle having a relatively gentle inclination toward the right end region 15 is formed. do. The mouse 21 is placed on the mouse support surface 3 of the right region which forms a gentle inclination angle.

With this arrangement, the lower region 31 of the thumb of the worker during the mouse operation is mainly in contact with the right region of the mouse support surface 3 having a predetermined inclination angle. And, the head bone 35 can work in a state that is almost in contact with the ground surface (3). On the other hand, the operator may conveniently work in contact with the top portion (11) of the mouse pad (1) in the lumbar bone (Lunate bone, 33) portion of the predetermined area in the boundary area between the wrist and palm.

6 is a perspective view of a mouse pad according to a third embodiment of the present invention. In the mouse pad 51 according to the third embodiment, a relatively high top portion 11 is provided in the center region of the mouse support surface 3, and the two sides, that is, the left end region 13 and the right end region ( 15, the downward angle of inclination is formed. As compared with the mouse pads 1 and 41 seen in the first and second embodiments described above, the mouse support surface 3 extends in both directions. The mouse 21 may be selectively placed on the right or left area on the mouse support surface 3 forming the downward inclination angle.

In the mouse pad 51 having such a shape, the mouse operation can be performed in a state in which the top portion 11 is brought into contact with a predetermined recessed lune bone 33 at the boundary region of the palm and the wrist. Therefore, it can be used easily, without distinguishing between a right hand worker or a left hand worker.

On the other hand, Figure 7 is a perspective view of a mouse pad according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the mouse pads 1, 41, and 51 seen in the above-described first, second, and third embodiments, the mouse pad 1 has a plate-shaped mouse support 63 for supporting the mouse 21. And the wrist support 65 protruding from the plate surface of the mouse support 63. The mouse support portion 63 forms a predetermined mouse pad 65 as a whole.

The wrist support part 65 is formed in a bar shape at a predetermined inner side of one side edge area of the mouse support part 63. Both end portions of the rod-shaped wrist support portion 65 correspond to both sides forming the one side edge of the mouse support portion 63. The wrist support portion 65 is provided so that the relatively high top portion 11 is slightly biased to one side of both end regions 13 and 15. In this embodiment, the top portion 11 is formed in the end region 15 on the right side for the right-handed worker. As a result, a downward inclination angle having a somewhat steep inclination toward the right end region 15 is formed around the top 11, and a downward inclination angle having a relatively gentle inclination toward the left end region 13 is formed. Is formed.

On the other hand, the plate surface of the mouse support part 63 also forms the downward inclination angle gradually from the longitudinal edge of the wrist support part 65 to the other end region 67 which opposes. As a result, the end region on the right side of the mouse support portion 63 is formed somewhat higher than the other portions.

By the above-described configuration, when the operator works with the mouse, the mouse 21 flows on the upper surface of the plate-shaped mouse support 63, and the wrist, more precisely, the lower region 31 of the thumb It comes in contact with the wrist support 65. At this time, the normal portion 11 of the wrist support 65 is in contact with the lumen bone (Lunate bone) 33 of the right hand operator. By this mouse pad 61 of the ergonomic shape, the operator can feel comfortable.

On the other hand, Figure 8 is a perspective view of a mouse pad according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention, there is shown a mouse pad for a worker who works with the left hand mouse. The mouse pad 71 according to the present embodiment has a plate-shaped mouse support portion 63 and a wrist support portion 65 protruding from the plate surface of the mouse support portion 63 as in the fourth embodiment described above. The mouse support portion 63 has the same configuration and shape as the first embodiment described above, and forms a plate surface that supports the flow of the mouse 21. Detailed description of the same configuration is omitted.

On the other hand, the wrist support 65 is provided such that the relatively high top 11 is biased toward the left end region 13. Therefore, unlike the fourth embodiment described above, a downward inclination angle having a slightly steep inclination toward the left end region 11 is formed around the top portion 11, and a relative inclination toward the right end region 15 is achieved. As a result, a downward inclination angle having a gentle inclination is formed.

In this configuration, the mouse 21 is gripped by the worker to flow on the upper surface of the mouse support 63, the wrist support 65 to support the wrist region of the operator, that is, the lower region 31 of the thumb. do. At this time, the top portion 11 of the wrist support portion 65 supports the lumen bone (Lunate bone) 33 of the operator.

The wrist support portion 65 is formed at a predetermined center higher than the center portions 13 and 15 at both sides thereof. Therefore, the angle of inclination is made downward toward the relatively low both end portions 13 and 15, and has an overall mountain shape. As described later, the half-bone region 33 of the operator comes into contact with the top portion 11 relative to the center region of the wrist support portion 11, that is, both end portions 13 and 15. On the other hand, the plate surface of the mouse support part 63 also forms the downward inclination angle gradually from the longitudinal edge of the wrist support part 65 to the other end region 67 which opposes. As a result, the center region of the mouse support portion 63 is also formed somewhat higher than the side end regions 13 and 15.

By this configuration, when the operator works on the mouse pad 81, the mouse 21 is moved on the plate surface of the mouse support 63, the wrist support 65 is in contact with the wrist of the operator to the wrist I support it. At this time, the central region 11 formed higher among the wrist support portions 65 comes into contact with the lumbar bone 33, which is recessed at a boundary between the palm of the operator and the wrist.

On the other hand, unlike the mouse pad to form an inclination angle toward the left or right, a mouse pad forming the inclination angle toward the square or rear may also be provided. 10 is a perspective view of a mouse pad according to a seventh embodiment of the present invention. As can be seen from the figure, in the mouse pad 91 according to the present embodiment, the front region 95 is formed high with respect to the rear region 93 to form a predetermined inclination angle toward the front as a whole.

11 is a perspective view of a mouse pad according to an eighth embodiment of the present invention. In the mouse pad 99 according to the eighth embodiment, the rear region 95 is formed somewhat higher with respect to the front region 93, so as to form a predetermined inclination angle toward the rear as a whole.
