[4] However, in the mouse like this conventional computer mouse, the palm needs to be touched on the convex shaped mouse and the index finger and middle finger be put on the button, so that the wrist should be on the desk and the back of the hand should be bent upward like an arch. Working with a mouse in the posture like bending wrist for a long time, the user may feel the hand painful easily, which is blamed for a main cause of carpal tunnel syndrome that often occurs to user using a mouse long time recently.

[5] Also, in using the conventional computer mouse, when the user's wrist is attached on the desk long time, it swells red or a callus forms on it frequently. Besides, the conventional mouse is designed to stick the palm with the mouse body, so the palm can be wet with sweat while using it long time. As a result, there will be problems that users may feel unpleasant because of them. Disclosure of Invention

Technical Problem

[6] The present invention is to solve the problems of the conventional mouse. The object of the present invention is to work with the computer mouse comfortably and naturally in the posture like holding a pen by cutting the mouse body and making the finger inserting portion to hold it with the inserted fingers, inserting the middle finger, ring finger, little finger into the finger inserting portion, clicking the left button located at the upper left side of the mouse body with the index finger, and clicking the right button located at the inside wall of the finger inserting portion with the inserted finger in the finger inserting portion. Technical Solution

[7] To achieve the above object, as one use example, the computer mouse of the present invention can consist of the finger inserting portion made by cutting the mouse body in the middle to hold the mouse with the inserted fingers, the left button located at the upper left side of the above mouse, and the right button attached at the inside wall of the above finger inserting portion to be clicked with the inserted finger in the finger inserting portion. As another use example, it can be designed to include the first scroll wheel formed in protrusion to perform up/down moving operation of the monitor screen.

[8] Also, as other use example, it can be designed to include the second scroll wheel in addition to the first scroll wheel at the upper or lower place of the above first scroll wheel to perform the left/right moving operation.

Advantageous Effects

[9] As described above, according to the computer mouse of the present invention, the mouse body is cut to form the finger inserting portion that the inserted fingers — the middle finger, ring finger, and little finger can hold the mouse in, the left button at the upper left of the mouse can be clicked with the index finger, and the right button at the upper inside wall of the finger inserting portion with the inserted finger in the finger inserting portion each. Since the user can work with the computer mouse naturally and comfortably in the posture like holding a pen which can make the wrist and fingers at ease and reduce the fatigue from using the mouse, it will have an effect on preventing from carpal tunnel syndrome that occurs frequently to long time users of computer mice.

[10] Moreover, it can have an effect to lessen the displeasure from palm sweat because the finger inserting portion can form some space between the palm and the mouse body that reduces the hand touching area of the mouse and the air can cool the palm sweat . Brief Description of the Drawings

[11] FIG. 1 is a configuration illustrating use example of the computer mouse according to the present invention.

[12] FIG. 2 is a configuration illustrating the computer mouse installed with the first scroll wheel and second scroll wheel together according to the present invention. Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[13] The computer mouse configuration of the present invention will be more detailed through the accompanying drawings as follows with use examples.

[14] FIG. 1 is a configuration illustrating use example of the present invention.

[15] As shown in the FIG. 1, the computer mouse of the present invention(lOO) is designed as use example to include the finger inserting portion(l 10) which can be inserted with fingers inside the mouse body cut in the middle to be held with the inserted fingers;

[16] The left button(120) located at the upper left side of the above mouse body;

[17] The right button(130) attached on the inside wall of the above finger inserting portion to be clicked with the inserted finger;

[18] The first scroll wheel(140) formed in protrusion at the left upper of the above mouse body to perform the up/down moving operation of the monitor screen.

[19] Also, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the computer mouse of the present invention as another use example(lOO) can be designed to include the second scroll wheel(150) located at the upper or lower place than the first scroll wheel to perform the left/right moving operation of the monitor screen.

[20] The finger inserting portion of the above mouse(l 10) is designed to insert the fingers to hold the mouse body cut in the middle, so that the inserted middle finger, ring finger, and little finger come into holding the mouse in the bent fingers posture. At this point, the desirable shape of the cutting side is to be inclined to the right side. That is, the left part of the mouse body is upper than the right as drawn in FIG. 1.

[21] The above left button(120) is designed at the upper left of the mouse body to be clicked with the index finger. The left button should be located at the place the stretched index finger can reach while the middle finger, ring finger, and little finger are inserted in the above finger inserting portion(l 10). In the structure of the present invention(lOO), the index finger is devised to be put on the left button(120) only to click the left button(120) without finger transferring since the left button(120), right button(130), and first scroll wheel(140) are located at the different places each.

[22] The above right button(130) has the structure to be installed inside of the above finger inserting portion(l 10), in great detail, installed at the upper inside wall of the finger inserting portion(l 10) to be clicked with the inserted finger in the finger inserting portion(l 10).

[23] Through this, it will be ready that the finger inside the finger inserting portion(l 10) can click the right button by bending slightly under the condition that the rest inserted fingers in the finger inserting portion(l 10) hold the mouse lightly.

[24] The above first scroll wheel(140) is located at the left upper side of the mouse body in protrusion and performs the same operation — moving the up/down scroll bar of the screen as the conventional scroll wheel with the thumb.

[25] Thanks to the location structure of the above left button(120), right button(130), and first scroll wheel(140), users can operate the mouse in the stable and comfortable posture without transferring fingers. Under the condition of holding the mouse naturally with fingers in the finger inserting portion(l 10), users can click each — the first scroll wheel(140) with the thumb, the left button the index finger, the right button(130) the inserted finger in the finger inserting portion(l 10). [26] The above second scroll wheel(150) is located at the upper or lower place than the above first scroll wheel(140) and designed to be scrolled with the thumb, and performs the up/down moving scroll bar operation in the monitor screen. [27] By means of this, the first scroll wheel(140) can perform the up/down moving operation, the second scroll wheel the left/right moving operation of the scroll bar in the monitor, so that the mouse body need not to be moved to operate the scroll bar in the monitor screen. [28] Since the above structure described by referring FIG. 1 is use example for the general right hand user, the mouse for the left hand user can be applied to make the cover shape of the above finger inserting portion(l 10) inclined to the left side, and the above left button(120), first scroll wheel(140), and second scroll wheel(150) can be located to the right side. [29] The components composing the above present invention is able to be applied regardless of the kinds of mice like general used wired mice, wireless mice, and so on.
