Description

A mouse suitable for forefinger relaxation

The invention relates to a mouse, in particular to a mouse suitable for the forefinger to relax operation.

Background technique

The upper casing of the commonly used mouse is divided into two parts: the front part and the rear part. The front part is provided with two left and right buttons or two left and right buttons plus two rollers, and the rear part is suitable for palm rest. Curved structure. The settings of the left and right buttons are usually set equally, that is, two buttons of the same size and shape are arranged on the left and right sides of the upper casing of the mouse. The two buttons are respectively operated by the index finger and the middle finger, and the left button is usually an operation button, and the right button is a function. key. When holding the mouse, the palm rests on the back of the upper case, the thumb is placed on the left side of the mouse, the ring finger and the little finger are placed on the right side of the mouse, and the mouse moves by the thumb and the ring finger and the little finger's grip and wrist. The force is used to achieve, while the index finger and the middle finger are both suspended, used to hit the left and right keys respectively. In the actual use of the mouse, the different functions of the left and right buttons make the most use of the left button during the mouse operation, that is, the index finger is the most frequently used finger, however, as mentioned above, the settings of the two main buttons of the mouse are not based on the button. Use frequency and finger ergonomics to set, because the two buttons are evenly set, so after the finger and the hand grasp the mouse, the index finger must move to the left when the button is pressed to place the finger in the middle of the left button. Effectively tapping the key, the index finger is only in a state of natural relaxation when the bones and tendons are naturally stretched. The muscles around the index finger are in a relaxed state. The shift to the left is not in a relaxed state but in a state of muscle tension, so the index finger moves to the left. Inevitably causes muscle tension, fingers are prone to fatigue, long-term insole in this state of the index finger will inevitably cause muscle strain, and serious illnesses

The invention solves the problem that the existing button setting of the mouse does not conform to the structure and habit of the human finger, and designs a mouse suitable for the natural relaxation operation of the index finger.

The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: A mouse comprising a button and a holding area, the button At least a left button and a right button are included, characterized in that the left button is disposed at an intermediate position in front of the mouse. The right button is located at an angular position on the right front of the mouse.

The holding area includes a left side holding area and a right side holding area, and the left side holding area is a concave left side curved structure that matches the contour of the thumb, and the right holding area is the middle finger The curved shape of the right side of the concave shape that coincides with the shape of the circle. The grip area further includes an intermediate grip area, the intermediate grip area being an upwardly convex arcuate structure.

The bottom of the mouse further includes a displacement collecting device, the displacement collecting device is located at a lower portion of the left button, preferably at a portion of the lower portion that is biased toward the left holding region, and is a ball and a directional shaft structure or optical sensor.

The button further includes a roller disposed at a side edge region transitioning from the upper surface of the housing to the side surface above or behind the thumb holding position of the left grip region. The roller is a horizontal position that is toggled forward or backward or a vertical position that is toggled up and down.

In the present invention, since the left button is disposed at the middle position of the front portion of the mouse, such a position is a position directly pointed by the index finger after holding the mouse, so that the index finger for operating the mouse does not need to be shifted to the left, and directly stretches forward according to the physiological structure. And bending can hit the mouse. Because the index finger muscle is in a relaxed state, instead of the muscles being in a state of tension after the index finger is deflected, the index finger is always placed on the button and does not feel tired. It is also a natural relaxation when tapping. State, although the muscles in the stroke process must shrink and produce tension, the muscles of the index finger only involve the upper and lower muscles, and the movement is still relaxed. It can be relieved at any time, instead of being moved to the left when the mouse is placed. The muscles of the left and right movements are always in a state of tension, and the upper and lower strokes are very easy to fatigue. Therefore, the setting of the left key position of the present invention has a significant improvement over the prior art.

Since the right-click frequency is low, it is set at the corner of the right front of the mouse to ensure that the left button of the main button occupies more positions. The right button is designed as a convex button, which can facilitate the operation of the index finger. This design is a convex key for the index finger. Take action.

Since the present invention improves the ergonomic structure by setting the left and right keys, the left and right keys can be operated only by the index finger, so the holding area can be set to fit the thumb and the middle finger. The curved structure held by the loose cymbal line, therefore, the grip and movement of the mouse are mainly held and forced by the thumb and the middle finger. Like the pen, the middle finger and the thumb are suitable for the bone and muscle structure of the finger. Relatively gripping the object, the two fingers are also used to support and force when holding the pen and holding the chopsticks. Because the grip and movement of the mouse are the natural forces along the thumb and middle finger according to their skeletal structure and muscle health. Direction, therefore, the program can also be adapted to the natural grip of the finger, and because the thumb and the middle finger are mainly used, the wrist can be used less or not, and the natural force of the thumb and the middle finger does not cause the wrist to have a tight torque, the wrist It is also in a relaxed state and does not cause fatigue. Therefore, the ergonomic setting of the button and the holding area of the present invention can increase the frequency of use of the mouse, and can set more functions for the mouse and use the mouse more frequently.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Referring to Fig. 1, a mouse 1 is provided with a button and a holding area. The button includes a left button 5 and a right button 6 disposed at the front of the mouse, and the left button 5 is an index finger operation button when the mouse is held, and is disposed at the front of the mouse. The middle position, which is the position directly pointed by the index finger after holding the mouse, so that the index finger for operating the mouse does not need to be shifted to the left, and the natural structure can be directly stretched and bent forward to hit the mouse. That is, the position is the upper surface of the front of the mouse 1 when holding the mouse, especially the thumb and middle finger, holding the mouse, the index finger The position where the stretching is naturally relaxed, the left button 5 of this embodiment is at the dominant position of the upper surface of the front portion of the mouse 1, and the right button 6 is located at the right edge of the upper surface of the front portion of the mouse 1. As can be seen from the present example, the present invention mainly considers the skeletal muscle structure characteristics of the index finger and the frequency of use of different buttons of the mouse, so that the setting of the mouse button becomes not the same as the left and right keys, but the left button occupies the middle position. It occupies a larger area or main area of the upper surface of the front of the mouse, allowing the index finger to have a wider range of placement and room for movement, and the comfort of placement and operation can be conveniently adjusted. The setting of the left button position can fix the finger tapping the left and right keys as the index finger, and the right button 6 can be disposed at the angular position of the right front portion of the mouse, and the right button 6 is a convex key, that is, the right button protrudes from the surface, so that Make the index finger of the operation more comfortable, convenient and relaxed. The index finger knocking frequency is high and not fatigued. At the same time, the index finger can easily hit the right button 6 according to the needs of its physiological structure.

Fig. 2 is another embodiment of the present invention, in which the front portion of the left button 5 is upturned to facilitate the tapping of the index finger, which is more convenient for operation. The arrow direction A in the figure is the direction of the index finger tap.

The embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 3 is that the left button 5 is located in a vertical area at the front of the mouse, and the index finger can be bent, that is, operated in the direction of the keystroke A, which is more suitable for the direction and habit of the index finger, so that the index finger operation is more labor-saving, Not easy to fatigue.

The left button 5 of the embodiment shown in Fig. 4 is tilted at the front of the mouse, and is operated in the direction of the keystroke A, which is also a setting method for the operation of the index finger.

The grip area of the mouse 1 in Figs. 5 and 6 is an arc-shaped structure suitable for the natural relaxation of the thumb and the middle finger. The holding area of the embodiment includes a left side holding area 2, a right side holding area 3 and an intermediate holding area 4, and the left side holding area 2 is a left side curved structure suitable for holding the thumb, the curved shape The structure is a concave curved structure. As can be seen from Fig. 5, it is a concave curved structure which conforms to the contour of the thumb, especially the curved structure in which the thumb is bent and the gripping operation is adapted. The structure allows the thumb to naturally relax and naturally exert; the right grip area 3 (see Fig. 6) is a right curved structure suitable for the middle finger to naturally relax, and the curved structure is also a concave curved structure. The concave curved structure is an inner arc structure below the tail of the mouse. The left side of the middle finger can naturally relax and stick to the left. The curved structure of the right holding area 3 can be naturally attached to the middle finger, the ring finger and the little finger. It is also possible to stick to the home; this embodiment uses the thumb and the middle finger for the main holding and moving operation, so The force center of gravity is oriented toward the button direction, so the middle grip area 4 is an upward convex arc structure. Unlike the structure of the existing mouse, the convex tail of the upper convex curved structure holds the index finger. The fingers are held, moved and operated in a relaxed state. Not only the finger operation is not easy to fatigue, the wrist is not tense, and fatigue is not easily generated.

5 and 6, a roller 9 is further disposed. The roller 9 is disposed at a side edge region of the upper surface of the left grip region 3 that is transitioned from the upper surface of the housing to the side surface, as shown in FIGS. It is located above the thumb holding position. The holding area of the invention is suitable for holding the thumb and the middle finger, and the roller 9 is disposed in the side edge area above the holding area, so that the holding and the operation of the thumb can be separated without affecting each other, and the operation is also very convenient and convenient. After the operation is completed, you can return to the holding area to relax and hold, which is beneficial to reduce muscle strain and nerve damage in the hand. The roller 9 can be set to the horizontal position of the front and rear (Fig. 6) or the vertical position of the up and down (Fig. 5).
