RU225215U1 - Computer mouse for people with disabilities and disabilities - Google Patents

Abstract

The utility model relates to different fields of activity, will help people with disabilities and disabilities (lack of upper limbs) to use a computer by using a computer mouse, and is a device that can be operated without using a brush. People will be able to activate LMB and RMB (left and right mouse buttons) by rotating the limb stump left or right along the sagittal axis of the arm. Cursor movement is provided by a sensor, like a standard mouse, when changing the position of the device on a horizontal surface along the X and Y axes. The goal is to create a cheap and easy-to-produce device that will help people with disabilities and disabilities use a computer, work in office or remotely. This goal is achieved by the fact that the mouse has certain functional parts. It consists of an oval-shaped body 12x6x2 cm, with Teflon legs laid around the entire perimeter. On top of the device there are two cylinders placed inside each other. The outer cylinder is attached with legs to the body of the mouse, and the inner cylinder with rod-shaped protrusions passes inside the mouse to press the LMB and RMB. There is a hole for the sensor on the bottom of the case. Also in this part there is a hole for a battery or accumulator.

Description

The utility model relates to different fields of activity; it will help people with disabilities (absence of upper limbs) to use a computer to one degree or another by using a computer mouse, and is a device without the use of a brush. People will be able to activate LM and RCM (left and right mouse buttons) by rotating the remaining limb left or right along the sagittal axis of the arm. Cursor movements will be provided by the cursor, like a standard mouse.

I have not met any direct competitors in this area. But the following developments are present: GlassOuse, Türkiye. A mouse that uses its nose and eyes to control a PC. Controlling the mouse cursor using facial movements. Computer mouse by Sergei Khalyavin, Russia. Foot controlled mouse.

In the first case, the disadvantage of the model is expensive production, active head movement, and operation only in good lighting. The disadvantages of the competitor are that this model is not suitable for work in office premises, because... it makes a lot of noise, causes unpleasant sensations for the user, and the use of PCM and ZhM is complicated since pressing the buttons with the foot is quite complicated.

The goal is to create a cheap and easy-to-produce device that will help people with disabilities use a computer, work in the office or remotely.

Figure 1 shows a computer mouse, where the number 1 indicates the body, which will be presented in the shape of an oval 12 cm long, 6 cm wide, 2 cm high. Teflon legs will be laid underneath along the entire perimeter of the oval and around the hole for the sensor. The number 2 indicates cylinders placed inside each other. The outer cylinder with a diameter of 5-6 cm will be attached with legs to the mouse body, indicated by the number 3, and in its lower part between the legs there will be holes for parts of the inner cylinder. An internal cylinder with a diameter of 4-5 cm with rod-shaped protrusions on the bottom that will go inside the mouse for pressing the LMB and RMB. On the bottom of the case there will be a hole for the sensor, at a distance of 6 cm from the top edge and 3 cm from the sides. There will also be holes for the battery on the bottom surface, the battery at a distance of 1 cm from any of the side edges and at a distance of 3 cm from the top edge. An extension is also provided for the arm in case of severe damage in the form of a tube, which will be attached to the rest of the arm using a clamp, suitable for the inner cylinder.

The mouse includes a number of features. Relatively low price. The mouse is suitable for long-term use. High accuracy of cursor positioning. The mouse allows many different manipulations - double and triple clicks, dragging, gestures, pressing one button while dragging another, etc. Therefore, a large number of controls can be concentrated in one hand.

A computer mouse can be used in various fields of activity, especially when working in offices, remotely at home, and also for leisure in the form of computer games.
