Description

mouse with hub

technical field

The invention relates to a mouse with a cable trough, in particular to a mouse with the function of a cable trough for a notebook computer.

Background technique

Most of the computer mainframes are equipped with peripheral input devices (peripheral input devices) nowadays, and wherein it is most important to use a mouse as a pointing device (pointing device). Especially in the Windows operating system, proper use of the mouse can make computer operations more handy.

The pointing device equipped with the notebook computer is generally a trackball or a touch pad. However, whether the designs of the two are sensitive will affect the fluency of the user's operation under the operating system, and the customary use of the mouse is still easy for users to accept. Therefore, if the space permits, some users also consider using an external mouse instead of a trackball or a touchpad as a pointing device.

In the known technology, generally there is no mouse specially designed for notebook computers. When the user leaves the mouse idle or wants to carry the mouse, the cables of the mouse are usually loosely wound around the mouse. As a result, when the mouse is carried, it will have the disadvantages of a messy appearance and a large space occupied by the mouse.

U.S. Patent No. 6,088,021 discloses a peripheral input device with a retractable cable. A take-up reel and a stopper are arranged in the body of the peripheral input device, so that the user can fix the cable at a certain position as required. Use length. However, the complex structure of the peripheral input device disclosed in this patent greatly increases the manufacturing cost, thus reducing the competitiveness of the product.

Contents of the invention

For this reason, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of mouse that has wire collecting groove. Users can store the cable directly inside the mouse to enhance the appearance of the mouse when it is not in use.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a special mouse for notebook computers, so as to reduce the volume occupied by the mouse when it is in an idle state or in a storage state.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a mouse structure that can store cables inside the mouse. With the novel mouse structure of the present invention, the user can store the cables inside the mouse when the mouse is idle, so as to beautify the appearance of the mouse when idle.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a retractable cable mouse with a simple structure, so as to reduce the manufacturing cost and increase the competitiveness of the product.

According to the above purpose, the present invention provides a mouse, comprising: a body with an upper casing, a lower casing, and a central shaft connecting the upper casing and the lower casing; a cable wound on the central shaft and Stretch out from the body to connect a computer host; the first elastic part and the second elastic part are respectively formed on the upper and lower casings around the central axis; the upper and lower casings, the central axis and the first elastic part , and the second elastic part together form a cable storage space, there is a gap between the first elastic part and the second elastic part, and the cable can enter and exit the body through the gap.

The present invention also provides a mouse for a notebook computer, comprising: a body having an upper casing, a lower casing, and a central shaft connecting the upper casing and the lower casing; a cable wound on the central shaft and Stretch out from the body to connect a computer host; the first elastic part and the second elastic part are respectively formed on the upper and lower casings around the central axis; the upper and lower casings, the central axis and the first elastic part , and the second elastic part together form a cable storage space, there is a gap between the first elastic part and the second elastic part, and the cable can enter and exit the body through the gap.

Description of drawings

In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, a preferred embodiment is given below, and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the detailed description is as follows:

Fig. 1 is the perspective view of mouse of the present invention;

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

Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view of Figure 2; and

Fig. 4 is a view of the cable storage state of the mouse of the present invention.

Detailed ways

As shown in Fig. 1, the mouse 1 of the present invention comprises: a body 10, a cable 11, an upper casing 12, a lower casing 14, a central axis 133 connecting the upper casing 12 and the lower casing 14, and a central axis 133 formed on the upper casing. 12 and the lower housing 14 and surrounds the hub 13 of the central axis 133 . The body 10 of the mouse 1 forms a grip portion at one end of the upper casing 12 and has a plurality of buttons at the other end and extends a cable 11 from the lower casing 14 to connect to a computer host. The mouse 1 of the present invention is not much different from the traditional mouse under normal use conditions, so it will not be described in detail here. However, it is worth noting that the upper housing 12 and the lower housing 14 of the present invention are connected by a central shaft 133, and additionally include a wire collecting groove 13, which can be used to connect the cables 11 when the mouse 1 is not in use. It is accommodated in the main body 10 of the mouse 1 .

Further referring to FIG. 2, the structure of the wire collecting groove 13 is described. The wire collecting groove 13 is formed between the upper casing 12 and the lower casing 14, and includes: a first elastic portion 131, a second elastic portion 132, and a 10 and a storage space 134 defined by the central axis 133 , the first elastic portion 131 and the second elastic portion 132 . Wherein, the first elastic portion 131 and the second elastic portion 132 are not substantially connected, but there is a gap 135 surrounding the body 10 of the mouse 1 . In a preferred embodiment, the first elastic part 131 and the second elastic part 132 can be made of soft plastic materials, such as rubber or PVC, so as to increase the touch and friction when holding the mouse 1 . When the user puts the cable 11 into the body 10 , the cable 11 can enter the receiving space 134 through the gap 135 . In addition, anti-slip portions 136 with wrinkles can also be formed on both sides of the main body 10 , thereby increasing the comfort of use.

As shown in FIG. 3 , the central shaft 133 is in the shape of a cylinder and its two ends are respectively connected to the upper housing 12 and the lower housing 14 , so that the cable 11 can be wound along the surface of the central shaft 133 . In addition, the central shaft 133, the first elastic portion 131 and the second elastic portion 132 jointly limit the receiving space 134, so when the cable 11 is wound on the central shaft 133, it will be limited by the central shaft 133, the upper bottom plate 152 and the central shaft 133. The lower bottom plate 153 is in the space limited together.

Continuing to refer to Fig. 4, Fig. 4 is the housing state figure that represents the cable 11 of mouse 1, as shown in the figure, when mouse 1 is not in use, at first one end of cable 11 enters storage space 134 through gap 135, then cable The wire 11 is wound along the surface of the central axis 123 (eg clockwise), and then the other end of the wire 11 is passed through the opening of the gap 135 . Finally, the entire cable 11 can be packed into the wire collecting groove 13 so as to complete the collection of the mouse 1 . Of course, when the mouse 1 is in use, part of the cables 11 can also be put into the cable collection slot 13, leaving a suitable length of the cables 11 for its use.

The invention discloses a mouse with a wire winding function. By applying the invention, the unused mouse cables can be wound inside the mouse to reduce the cables, and the mouse can be folded to reduce the occupied space. In addition, the invention also discloses a retractable cable mouse with a simple structure, so as to reduce the manufacturing cost and increase the competitiveness of the product.

In summary, although the present invention has been described in detail above through preferred embodiments, this is not intended to limit the present invention, and those of ordinary skill in the art can make Various changes and improvements. For example: the shape of the wire trough can be changed appropriately according to the needs. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be determined by the appended claims.
