Description

A finger mouse}

The present invention relates to a mouse capable of operating the mouse with only the index finger and middle finger, and particularly, the index finger and the middle finger are formed in the ball-type mouse main body, where the index finger and the middle finger are inserted, and the palm holding the mouse is fixed to the index and middle finger. It is to provide a mouse that can minimize the fatigue of the hand coming from computer work by not using the wrist and elbow joint by enabling the operation of the mouse alone.

In general, a computer is equipped with a mouse to easily perform various functions by operating a mouse button instead of a keyboard. A general mouse configuration includes a ball rotatably installed inside the mouse and a rotation axis around the ball. It consists of a horizontal and vertical moving part and a detector. When the user rotates the ball by moving the mouse up, down, left, and right, the rotation axis rotates, and accordingly, the output is generated as the slot of the horizontal and vertical moving parts rotates and is input to the computer main body.

The general mouse configured as described above is a method of moving the mouse pointer on the screen by moving the mouse while keeping the mouse on a flat surface.

Such a face-contacting mouse must have a flat surface on which the mouse is to be placed. In order to move the mouse pointer on the screen, it is necessary to alternately move the wrist and elbow joints in addition to the fingers to achieve the desired purpose.

Therefore, the fatigue of the hand accumulates during a long time of work, it is difficult to actually work for a long time.

To alleviate this inconvenience, most mice are designed to be miniaturized to fit in the hand or to minimize hand fatigue.

However, such a miniaturization or design change of the mouse is not a change in the function of the mouse itself, but a simple design change, and the inconvenience of using the wrist and elbow joint still exists.

In order to solve this problem, a wheel mouse has recently been developed, which is equipped with a wheel for manipulating a horizontal moving unit in the middle of an operation button to move the wheel to scroll the screen during use.

Therefore, the screen can be moved horizontally according to the rotation of the wheel, so that documents on the Internet or large screens can be easily viewed without moving the mouse, thereby minimizing the fatigue of wrist and arm joints.

However, this is only possible to move the screen horizontally, not to move the mouse pointer itself or to move the left and right. Therefore, in order to move the mouse pointer, the movement of the mouse by moving the wrist joint or the elbow joint still causes fatigue.

The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, an object of the present invention is to form a gripping portion for inserting the index finger and middle finger in the mouse body of the ball type in a state where the palm holding the mouse fixed to the floor It is to provide a mouse that can minimize the fatigue of the hand coming from computer work without using wrist and elbow joints by enabling the operation of the mouse with the index and middle finger only.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, in describing each of the drawings, the same components have the same reference numerals as much as possible even though they are shown in different drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the configuration of the present invention is a known mouse in which a button body 10 is formed on a ball-type mouse main body 2, and both rear sides of the mouse main body 2 are provided. Forming a partition 6 to be divided so that the finger grip portion 4 is inserted into both sides of the main body 2 with the partition 6 interposed therebetween, and the mouse grip portion 4 The button body 10 is formed to be in contact with the finger in the groove 20 is formed to enable the operation of the mouse by moving the index finger and middle finger in a state where the palm is fixed to the floor.

The gripping portion 4 into which the finger is fitted is provided with a button body 10 on the bottom surface of the gripping portion 20 in the form of a recessed portion having a predetermined depth so as to concave the groove 20 so that the gripping portions 4 on both sides are positioned on substantially the same line. It is formed so as to correspond to both the right-handed user and the left-handed user, and the support piece 18 is formed on the upper side of the partition 6 to prevent the upper detachment of the finger.

At this time, the button body 10 is formed of a button body 10 formed in a normal mouse, the bottom of the button body 10 is formed with a contact for the click of the button body 10.

The partition wall 6 formed at the center of the finger holding part 4 has a soft silicone material to prevent the fatigue of the finger joints inserted into the holding part 4 and to eliminate the heterogeneity caused by the contact of the finger joints when the mouse is moved. Of the support 16 formed integrally with the end of the partition 6 or the projection 12 is formed at the end of the partition 6 and the end of the support 16 is engaged with the projection 12. By forming the mouth groove 14 is coupled in a manner that is engaged by engaging in the form of irregularities.

In this case, the support part 16 coupled to the partition wall 6 may be coupled to the mouse body 2 so that the support part 16 may be used as the partition wall 6. It can be formed.

In addition, since the support 16 made of silicon material may inhibit the movement of the mouse when the mouse is in contact with the bottom surface, the bottom portion is formed to be shorter to be coupled in a somewhat separated state than the bottom surface of the main body 2.

According to the present invention configured as described above, the mouse body may be coupled to a mouse port formed in the computer body as in a conventional mouse, and the finger may be inserted into the grip portion 4 while the partition 6 is inserted between the index finger and the middle finger when the mouse is used. Interpolate to place the finger in the groove (20).

At this time, since the normal button body 10 is installed in the bottom groove 20 of the holding part 4, it is advantageous to use because it can be pressed without a finger movement when the button body 10 is clicked. .

When moving the mouse point, if the palm of the hand holding the mouse is fixed to the floor and the partition 6 inserted between the index finger and the middle finger is pushed to one side, that is, the finger does not press the button body 10 when the mouse point is moved to the left. If you push the partition 6 with the index finger while not floating enough, the wrist joint moves, the mouse point moves in the desired direction, and the button body 10 is clicked while the mouse point moves.

When moving the mouse point up and down, the support piece 18 is formed on the upper side of the partition 6 sandwiched between the index finger and the middle finger, so that the detachment of the finger is excluded, and only the finger joint is moved up and down, the mouse point moves up and down. .

In this case, when the mouse point is moved, that is, when the mouse is moved, the partition 6 to which the finger is in contact is supported by the support 16 made of silicon, thereby eliminating the heterogeneity of the contact surface.

As described above, the present invention forms a gripping portion where the index finger and middle finger are inserted into the main body of the mouse, so that the operation of the mouse can be performed with the index finger and the middle finger while the palm of the mouse is fixed to the floor, thereby eliminating the use of wrist and elbow joints. There is an advantage in minimizing hand fatigue that comes from computer work.
