Description

Computer Mouse {ERGONOMIC COMPUTER MOUSE}

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, and 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 smooth cursor 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.

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.

In addition, to achieve the above object, the present invention, 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 trackball protrudes from the front upper position of the mouse body where the thumb is shaped like a handshake, and is formed to be slightly convex than the side that is interviewed on the palm, but slips on the side that is interviewed on the palm. A non-slip pad is provided to prevent it, and the first and second click switches are installed on the rear of the mouse body where each end of the index finger and middle finger are positioned at the same height as the track ball, and the finger body is lifted with the ring finger and the little finger. The lower part of the body is formed to be narrower than the upper part of the body so that the lower part of the body can be used away from the fixed object, and the mouse stand can be selectively detached to maintain the upright state when the mouse is not in use.

In addition, to achieve the above object, the present invention, 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 bottom part is formed in contact with the ground, the upper part constitutes a mouse body that becomes narrower from the head of the track ball is configured to the first and second click switch arranged in the lower part to the receiving part configured,

When the thumb of the hand holding the receiver is positioned on the track ball, the boundary between the head and the receiver is bent at an angle such that the node naturally bends, and the step is greater than the outer surface of the body around the track ball where the thumb is located. The thumb receiving groove is formed, it is formed to be inclined so as to fall from the ground to the bottom outer surface of the receiving portion, each click switch is located, it has a feature that can be used away from the fixed object.
