Description

Computer mouse {A MOUSE FOR PERSONAL COMPUTER}

The present invention relates to a mouse for a computer, and more particularly, to design a structure of a mouse for inputting a predetermined signal to a signal processing device such as a computer, to provide convenience of operation as well as to provide convenience of operation. The present invention relates to a computer mouse that can be used freely and conveniently without a fixed object.

In general, a computer mouse has a track ball, which is arranged to be freely rotated, for example, a steel ball or the like, which is provided on the bottom of the body, and in contact with the track ball to move the cursor to a desired coordinate. The X, Y axis coordinate movement mechanism is provided to be orthogonal to each other, and a plurality of click switches are provided on the upper surface of the body, and separately requires a mouse pad for smoothly rotating the track ball.

However, such a conventional mouse has a problem in that it requires a space for positioning the mouse pad. In particular, since the track ball is rotated in contact with the mouse pad, foreign matters accumulated in the mouse pad are coordinated through the track ball. There was a problem of penetrating the moving mechanism to prevent a smooth cover movement.

Utility model registration application No. 92-27022 has been filed as a solution to solve the conventional problems.

As shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, the mouse 30 of this prior art has a shape of an elongated hexahedron, which moves the coordinates of the cursor to the upper center of the front of the mouse body 32. The track ball 34 is installed, and the first and second click switches 36a and 36b for inputting data set by coordinates are positioned on one side of the rear surface of the mouse body 32, respectively. 36a) is positioned above and the second click switch 36b is positioned below.

In addition, in the conventional mouse, a double-sided tape 38 is attached to the lower end of the mouse body 32 so as to be attached to a keyboard or a table so that the mouse can be used upright.

However, such a conventional mouse 30 is attached to a keyboard (not shown) or a table (not shown) by using a double-sided tape 38 provided at the lower end of the mouse body 32 in a vertical direction. It is used as a posture to wrap, so the trackball 34 is configured to adjust the coordinates of the cursor with the thumb without contact with the mouse pad, but the effect of preventing foreign matter from penetrating into the inside of the mouse body is recognized. Since the shape of the mouse body is generally formed of an angled cube, it is inconvenient to wrap it with the hand, and the mouse can be operated even if the position of the first and second click switches is moved only by the second node of the index finger and the middle finger. There was a problem that the click switch is operated only by holding the body to promote a misoperation.

In addition, the conventional mouse has the advantage that it can be used without the need for a mouse pad because it is attached to a fixture such as a keyboard or a table, but this is also used because it does not deviate from the limitation that there must be a fixed object to attach the mouse In addition to the limited range of inconvenience, in addition to the index finger and the middle finger to operate the click switch, there was a problem more inconvenient to operate in the state of holding the mouse with only the ring finger and the little finger.

Therefore, the present invention has been created to solve the above problems, the purpose of which is to provide the convenience of operation by positioning the mouse as well as ergonomically designed to allow the user to grip the mouse structure The present invention provides a mouse for a computer freely and conveniently without a fixed object.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a computer mouse equipped with a track ball for moving the coordinates of the cursor in the mouse body, and the first and second click switches for inputting the selected coordinates,

The front of the mouse body, where the thumb of the hand is shaped like a handgun, is formed so that the trackball is installed at an angle, and the side that is interviewed in the palm is formed more convexly than the other side, and the back of the mouse body where the index finger and middle finger are positioned. The first and second click switches are formed to protrude to have a height similar to that of the trackball, and the lower part of the click switch has a finger and a little finger positioned therein so as to support the mouse body. It has a feature that the recess is formed so that it can be used away from the fixed object.

In addition, the present invention to achieve the above object, while forming a spherical (spherical) connection projections on the lower portion of the mouse body, and selectively detachable coupling with the connection projections at the same intervals to enable any direction when combined The connector having a notch groove is further configured to protrude a pedestal formed so that it can be used on the fixed object.

Figure 4 is a state diagram used in the mouse according to the present invention.

The constitution of the present invention was formed such that the track ball 14 is installed obliquely at the front of the mouse body 12 in which the thumb of the hand is shaped like a handgun.

In addition, the side to be interviewed on the palm is formed to be more convex than the other side, and the first and second click switches 16a and 16b at the same height as the track ball 14 at the rear of the mouse body 12 where the index finger and middle finger are positioned. Installed to protrude)

On the other hand, the ring finger and the little finger is located below the click switches 16a and 16b so as to be indented from the protruding lines of the click switches 16a and 16b to support the mouse body 12 away from the fixed object. An inner recess 18 was formed to be used away from the fixed object.

In addition, the mouse of the present invention is more preferably formed in a streamline without the overall shape of the angled portion.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 3, a spherical linking protrusion 19 is formed on the lower portion of the mouse body 12, and selectively detachable from the linking protrusion 19, and swings in any direction when coupled. To this end, the connector 20 having the notch grooves 21 of equal intervals was further configured to protrude and be used on the fixed object.

The greatest feature of the present invention mouse 10 having such a shape is that it does not need a fixed object for the mouse operation can be performed at any position desired by the operator.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the pistol-holding posture, that is, the thumb is in the operating range of the trackball 14, the index finger and the middle finger are in the operating range of each click switch 16a, 16b, and the ring finger and the little finger. May be used by pulling the body closer to the body in the state of being placed in the inner recess portion 18.

The thumb in the state of holding the mouse 10 can naturally operate the trackball 14 so that it is not unreasonable in use, and the first and second click switches 16a and 16b are the ends of the detection and the stop. Since it is formed to protrude so as to be operable, it is possible to prevent the misoperation from occurring compared to the conventional, and also because the inner recess portion 18 is formed so as to easily support the mouse 10 with the ring finger and the little finger. This has the advantage of reducing the operating force applied to the hand.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, when the ball-shaped connecting protrusion 19 formed at the lower end of the mouse 10 is pressed into the connector 22 of the pedestal 20 with a predetermined force, The mouse user may support and use the fixed object by the selective detachable coupling which is fitted by the elastic force of the connector 22 and pulled out by the opposite force and is released by the same action as described above.

On the other hand, since the connecting projection 19 fitted to the connector 22 of the pedestal 20 is not fixed and is formed in a ball shape so as to move freely in any direction, it eliminates the monotony of the fixing method and reduces fatigue of the user. You can.
