Abstract

A mouse with a cable collection slot. The mouse comprises: a body, a cable, an upper shell, a lower shell, a central axis connecting the upper shell and the lower shell, and a cable collection slot formed between the upper shell and the lower shell and surrounding the central axis. The cable collection slot is used to receive the cable so that the cable is wound around the central axis, thereby receiving the cable in the body of the mouse.

Description

Mouse with hub slot

The present invention relates to a kind of mouse, particularly a kind of mouse that is used for notebook computer and has the hub slot function with hub slot.

Nowadays most of host computer all is equipped with external input equipment (peripheral inputdevice), and it is most important wherein to make indicator device (pointing device) with mouse.Especially in Windows, suitably use mouse can make computation more handy.

The indicator device that notebook computer was equipped with is generally trace ball or touch-control is pulled.Yet whether sensitivity will influence the operation fluency of user under operating system in both designs, and use mouse still to allow the user accept easily traditionally.So under the situation about allowing in the space, part user also considers to replace trace ball or Trackpad with external mouse, with it as indicator device.

In the known technology, the general mouse that does not design for notebook computer specially.When the user was left unused mouse or desired to carry mouse, the cable of mouse was normally twining mouse dispersedly.Thus, when carrying mouse, will have outward appearance and reach mouse in a jumble and account for shortcoming than large space.

United States Patent (USP) the 6th, 088 discloses a kind of external input equipment with recoverable cable, a take-up spool and a retainer has been set, thus the use length that the user can be optionally certain with being fixed on of cable in the body of external input equipment for No. 021.Yet the external input equipment of this patent disclosure is because complex structure causes manufacturing cost significantly to increase, so therefore competitiveness of product reduces.

For this reason, fundamental purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of mouse with hub slot.The user can directly be collected in mouse inside with cable, the mouse outward appearance when leaving unused to beautify.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a kind of mouse of notebook computer special use, to reduce mouse shared volume under idle state or collecting state.

Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of mouse structure that cable can be concealed in mouse inside.Use novel mouse structure of the present invention, the user can be concealed in cable mouse inside when mouse is left unused, the mouse outward appearance when leaving unused to beautify.

But a further object of the present invention is to provide a kind of take-up Line Mouse simple in structure, with the minimizing manufacturing cost, and increases competitiveness of product.

According to above-mentioned purpose, mouse of the present invention comprises that one has the body of cable hub slot, so that cable is contained in wherein.

For above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, feature and advantage are become apparent more, lift a preferred embodiment below, and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, be described in detail below:

Fig. 1 is the stereographic map of mouse of the present invention;

Fig. 2 is the side view of mouse of the present invention;

Fig. 3 is the cross section view of Fig. 2; And

Fig. 4 is that the cable of mouse of the present invention is accommodated constitutional diagram.

As shown in Figure 1, mouse 1 of the present invention comprises: body 10, cable 11, upper shell 12, lower house 14, connect the central shaft 133 of upper shell 12 and lower house 14 and be formed on

upper shell

12 and 14 of lower houses and around the hub slot 13 of central shaft 133.The body 10 of mouse 1, its end at upper shell 12 form the grip portions other end then to have a plurality of buttons and extends a cable 11 in order to connect host computer at lower house 14.Mouse 1 of the present invention there is no much difference with conventional mouse under general user mode, so be not described in detail in this.But, it should be noted that upper shell 12 of the present invention is connected by central shaft 133 with lower house 14, and comprise a hub slot 13 in addition, in order under mouse 1 obsolete state, cable 11 can be received in the body 10 of mouse 1.

The structure of hub slots 13 further is described with reference to figure 2, hub slot 13 is formed between upper shell 12 and the lower house 14, and comprises: first elastic 131, second elastic 132 and be formed in the body 10 and limited to the accommodation space 134 that by central shaft 133, first elastic 131 and second elastic 132 jointly.Wherein, first elastic 131 and second elastic 132 not essence are connected, but have the body 10 of a gap 135 around mouse 1.In preferred embodiment, first elastic 131 and second elastic 132 can adopt the soft plastic material, for example: rubber or PVC etc., sense of touch and friction force when increasing hand gripping mouse 1 thus.When the user took in bodies 10 with cable 11, cable 11 can enter accommodation space 134 by gap 135.In addition, the both sides of body 10 also can form the anti-slip section 136 with wrinkle Zhe, increase the comfort of using thus.

As shown in Figure 3, central shaft 133 is to be right cylinder and two ends are connected with upper shell 12 and lower house 14 respectively, and cable 11 can twine along the surface of central shaft 133 thus.In addition, central shaft 133, first elastic 131 and second elastic 132 are limited to the accommodation space 134 that jointly, so when cable 11 is wrapped on the central shaft 133, will be limited in the spaces of central shaft 133, upper plate 152 and lower shoe 153 common limitations.

Continuation is with reference to figure 4, Fig. 4 be expression mouse 1 cable 11 accommodate constitutional diagram, as shown in the figure, when mouse 1 does not use, at first the end with cable 11 enters accommodation space 134 via gap 135, then cable 11 is twined (as: clockwise) along the surface of central shaft 123,135 opening passes from the gap with the other end of cable 11 more afterwards.At last, whole cable 11 can be packed in the hub slot 13, so that finish the collection of mouse 1.Certainly, mouse 1 is under user mode, and in the hub slot 13 of also part cable 11 can being packed into, and the cable 11 that stays suitable length is for its use.

The present invention discloses a kind of mouse of tool spiral function.Use the present invention and mouse cable on the shelf can be wound to mouse inside, reducing cable, and taken up space with minimizing mouse is folding.In addition, but the present invention has also disclosed a kind of take-up Line Mouse simple in structure, with the minimizing manufacturing cost, and increases competitiveness of product.

In sum, though abovely by preferred embodiment the present invention is had been described in detail, this is not to be used for limiting the present invention, and those of ordinary skill in the art can do various changes and improvement under the situation that does not break away from the spirit and scope of the present invention.For example: the shape of hub slot can be done suitable change as required.Therefore, protection scope of the present invention should be as the criterion with the back determined scope of appended claim.
