The ratio of the vertical width and the horizontal width of the special keys(130) is designed as 1:1.25¯3.

Description

Keyboard for computer {KEYBOARD FOR COMPUTER}

The present invention relates to a computer keyboard in which key manipulation of a computer keyboard is installed ergonomically so that the key operation of the computer keyboard can be made easily and easily. A plurality of special keys are arranged at the center, and the special keys are arranged at less than 1/2 of the width of the rear row, and each special key is formed to have a constant size, so that the use frequency of the computer keyboard is relatively high. Many special keys, such as space, enter, and shift keys, are placed within the keyboard operator's finger operating range, minimizing the operator's finger movement distance, thereby reducing fatigue in key punching operations. It relates to a computer keyboard to improve the input speed of the.

In the structure of a conventional computer keyboard, which is generally known, as shown in FIG. 1, the character keys 20 are arranged in a plurality of rows above the keyboard body 10, and the left side of the character keys 20 is disposed. In the right side, the enter key, the shift key, and the rear center include a special key 30 such as a spacer key.

In the conventional computer keyboard having the arrangement as described above, the character key 20 key punch operation is performed in the state where the operator's finger K is located at the rear center of the keyboard main body 10. When pressing a special key 30, such as a shift key is to move and press the finger of the worker.

Therefore, the conventional relatively frequently used special key 30 is to form a larger size on the keyboard, or to form a wider length to improve the key operation of the operator.

However, as described above, there is a disadvantage in that a large number of special keys 30 are frequently used on the keyboard, thereby limiting the space utilization.

In addition, when operating the special key 30 during the operation of the character key 20 in the keyboard main body 10, the movement distance of the operator's finger (K) is long, which is inconvenient, thereby increasing the worker's fatigue Of course, there are many problems such as slow data input.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve various problems of the related art as described above, and an object thereof is to locate special keys such as space, enter, and shift keys, which are relatively frequently used in a computer keyboard, within a range of finger operation of a keyboard operator. By minimizing the moving distance of the fingers of the operator, thereby reducing the fatigue of the key punch operation, it is possible to improve the input speed of data, as well as to effectively install various keys in the limited space of the computer keyboard. To provide a computer keyboard.

As a technical configuration for achieving the above object, the present invention, the character key is arranged in a plurality of rows on the upper side of the keyboard body, the left side of the character key and the rear of the computer keyboard having a special key is disposed on the rear, respectively A plurality of special keys are arranged in the center of the rear row of keyboards of the keyboard body, and the special keys are arranged to be 1/2 or less of the width of the rear row, and each of the special keys is configured to have a constant size. By providing a keyboard.

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

2 is a plan configuration diagram of a computer keyboard according to the present invention, Figure 3 is a configuration diagram of the installation state of the special key arranged in the rear row of the keyboard main body of the present invention, the character key 120 to the upper side of the keyboard main body 110 Are arranged in a plurality of rows, and a plurality of special keys 130 are disposed in the center S of the rear row of the keyboard 100 of the keyboard main body 110.

The plurality of special keys 130 are composed of an enter key, a shift key, and a space key, respectively, in which the width P of the special key 130 is less than 1/2 of the width P ′ of the rear row. In this state, each of the special key 130 is made of a configuration such that the size of the vertical and horizontal width of 1: 1.25-3.

Referring to the operation and effect of the present invention made of such a configuration as follows.

As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the operation of the character key 120 in a state where various character keys 120 for inputting data onto the keyboard body 110 of the computer keyboard are arranged in a plurality of columns. In the case of operating a special key 130 such as an enter key, a shift key, or a space key on the keyboard main body 110, the special key disposed in the center S of the rear row of the keyboard 100 of the keyboard main body 110. 130 is manipulated.

The special key 130 composed of the enter key, the shift key, the space key, and the like is disposed so that its position is located at the center S of the rear row of the keyboard 100 of the keyboard main body 110, whereby the keyboard operator's fingers are keyboarded. There is no movement in the rear center (S) of the (100) it is possible to easily operate the tugu key 130.

At this time, the installation structure of the special key 130 is, as shown in Figure 2, the overall width (P) size of a plurality of special keys (three in the present invention), the width (P ') of the rear row of the keyboard 100 In the state where it is disposed below 1/2, the special keys 130 are formed to have the width of the vertical and horizontal widths of 1: 1.25 to 3, thereby making identification with the character key 120 easier. It is easy and easy to perform the operation of the special key.

As described above, according to the computer keyboard according to the present invention, by placing special keys such as space, enter, and shift keys, which are frequently used on the computer keyboard, within the operating range of the keyboard operator, the operator's finger movement distance is minimized. In this way, while reducing the fatigue of the key punch operation, it is possible to improve the input speed of the data, as well as to effectively perform the installation of various keys within the limited space of the computer keyboard.
