Abstract

Hand operating computer input device (1), composed of at least one input control which is characterized by a base portion (2), one to the base portion (2) fixed attached and from said base portion upright handgrip (3), which is arranged at an angle to the base portion. The aim is to place the input device within the width of the shoulder also enabling the hand, arm and shoulder to work in a more natural physiologically correct position.

Description

15 20 30 513. 298 2 naturliga inåtroterade läge. Syftet är att placera styrdonet inom axelbreddsavstånd och arbeta med armen och handen i nomtalställning. 15 20 30 513. 298 2 natural inward rotating position. The purpose is to place the controller within shoulder width distance and work with the arm and hand in nominal position.

Uppiinningen I det följande skall uppfinningen beskrivas med hänvisning till figurema. F ig. 1-9 visar ett ergonomiskt handoperativt styrdon i olika vyer. Styrdornet l innefattar en basdel 2 och en handgreppsdel 3. Handgreppsdelen 3 är fast anordnad på basdelen 2. Basdelen 2 är ergonomiskt utforrnad och ger med handen i arbetsläge stöd för den ulnara sidan av handen samt lillfingret genom att den är utformad med en mot handen svarande komplementär form.The invention In the following, the invention will be described with reference to the figures. F ig. 1-9 shows an ergonomic hand-operated control device in different views. The guide mandrel 1 comprises a base part 2 and a handle part 3. The handle part 3 is fixedly arranged on the base part 2. The base part 2 is ergonomically designed and provides with the hand in working position support for the ulnar side of the hand and the little finger by being designed with a corresponding hand. complementary form.

En inskäming 2' är anordnad i basdelens 2 bakre del för att avlasta handens pisifonnal- och triquetrumben.A notch 2 'is provided in the rear part of the base part 2 to relieve the hand pisifonnal and triquet drums.

Handgreppsdelen 3 är ergonomiskt utformad och ger med handen i arbetsläge stöd för handloven, handflatan och handens fem fingrar. Detta uppnås genom att handgreppsdelen är utformad uppâtstående från basen som en klubbformad utväxt. Handgreppsdelens omkrets ökar med ökande avstånd till basdelen och är överallt större än handens grepp. Hand- greppsdelen avslutas uppåt med en avrundning. Handen greppar runt handgreppsdelen 3 med alla fem fingrarna så att handloben och fingrama vilar mot den. För att uppnå det ideala läget där armen och handen är i norrnalställning är handgreppsdelen 3 vinklad i förhållande till bas- delen. Handgreppsdelens längdaxel A bildar en vinkel ot med normalen till ett plan C genom basdelen (se Fig. 4) där ot är mindre än 90°.The handle part 3 is ergonomically designed and provides with the hand in working position support for the wrist, the hand and the five fingers of the hand. This is achieved by the handle part being designed protruding from the base as a club-shaped outgrowth. The circumference of the grip part increases with increasing distance to the base part and is everywhere larger than the grip of the hand. The handle part ends upwards with a rounding. The hand grips around the handle part 3 with all five fingers so that the lobe and fingers rest against it. To achieve the ideal position where the arm and hand are in the normal position, the grip part 3 is angled in relation to the base part. The longitudinal axis A of the handle part forms an angle ot with the normal to a plane C through the base part (see Fig. 4) where ot is less than 90 °.

För att handen skall hitta sitt arbetsläge snabbt och enkelt och förbli i det läget under arbetets gång är handgreppsdelen anordnad med ett lägesfixerande stöd 4. Det lägesfixerande stödet 4 är företrädesvis utformat som en vulst, vilken sträcker sig som en i längsled utbredd utbuktning på handgreppsdelens mantelyta. Därmed finns det inte någon risk att handen förlo- rar sin orientering relativt styrdonet under arbetets gång. Vulsten är utformad så att den blir ett utbuktande stöd vars form och läge passar mot fingrarnas proximala interfallangealleder när handen greppar på handgreppsdelen 3.In order for the hand to find its working position quickly and easily and remain in that position during the work, the handle part is arranged with a position-fixing support 4. The position-fixing support 4 is preferably designed as a bead, which extends as a longitudinally extended bulge on the handle surface. . Thus, there is no risk of the hand losing its orientation relative to the control device during the work. The bead is designed so that it becomes a bulging support whose shape and position fit against the proximal interval length joints of the nails when the hand grips the handle part 3.

Styrdonet kan anordnas på två principiellt skilda sätt. För det första kan Styrdonet vara fast inbyggt i en större enhet av datom exempelvis tangentbordet. För det andra kan styr- donet vara fritt rörligt och fungera i princip som en datormus. I det första fallet är styrdonet fixerat. På handgreppsdelen kan då vara anordnat kula, ratt, hjul, knappar, pekmus eller en kombination därav. I det andra fallet fungerar styrdonet som en datormus varvid det åtminsto- ne innehåller en kula eller pekmus endera i basdelen eller i handgreppsdelen. I fallet med en kula i basdelen är styrdonet utformat så att friktionen mot underlaget är låg.The control device can be arranged in two fundamentally different ways. First, the controller can be fixedly built into a larger unit of the computer, for example the keyboard. Second, the controller can be freely movable and function in principle as a computer mouse. In the first case, the controller is fixed. The handle part can then be arranged with a ball, steering wheel, wheels, buttons, pointing mouse or a combination thereof. In the second case, the controller functions as a computer mouse, at least containing a bullet or pointing mouse either in the base part or in the handle part. In the case of a ball in the base part, the control device is designed so that the friction against the ground is low.

O:\usets-t)lD\DOK\\VORD-DOK' p33658se.doc i I i ln 10 513 2,98 3 a- Datorstyrdonet enligt uppfinningen innefattar funktionsreglage i form av minst en av endera kula, ratt, knapp, hjulfpekrnus eller kombinationer därav. När handen greppar styrdo- net är funktionsreglagen anordnade så att fingrarna alternativt fingertopparna kommer i läge över motsvarande funktionsreglage.O: \ usets-t) lD \ DOK \\ VORD-DOK 'p33658se.doc i I i ln 10 513 2.98 3 a- The computer controller according to the invention comprises function controls in the form of at least one of either ball, knob, button, wheel crank or combinations thereof. When the hand grips the control unit, the function controls are arranged so that the fingers or the fingertips are in position above the corresponding function controls.

Knapparna kan vara uttagna flärpar i grundmaterialet där flärpama sviktar vid berö- ring. Flärpama sviktar tillbaka till utgångsläget efter avslutad beröring. Funktionsreglaget kan naturligtvis även bestå av konventionell tryckknapp, ratt eller kula.The buttons can be removed fl pairs in the base material where the flaps fail to touch. Flärpama fails to return to its original position after finishing touching. The function control can of course also consist of a conventional push button, steering wheel or ball.

Generellt kan sägas om styrdonet enligt uppfinningen att det har en godstjocklek i området for flärpama valt så att dessa sviktar i önskad utsträckning vid beröring. Styrdonet tillverkas i olika storlekar anpassade till olika handstorlekar. Det är viktigt att kunna erbjuda styrdonet enligt uppfinningen till bam i olika storlekar. Styrdonet utformas även i en spegel- vänd variant for vänsterhänta. Styrdonet kan lämpligen vara tillverkat i ett stycke med en kontinuerlig övergång mellan basdelen och handgreppsdelen och vara tillverkat av ett material som känns svalt och skönt mot huden, företrädesvis plast.In general, it can be said of the guide device according to the invention that it has a wall thickness in the area of the flaps selected so that these fail to the desired extent when touched. The control unit is manufactured in different sizes adapted to different hand sizes. It is important to be able to offer the control device according to the invention to children in different sizes. The control unit is also designed in a mirror-inverted variant for left-handers. The guide device can suitably be made in one piece with a continuous transition between the base part and the handle part and be made of a material that feels cool and comfortable against the skin, preferably plastic.
