本発明は、表示装置の画面上のカーソルを移動させるた
めの座標入力装置に係り、特に操作性のよい座標入力装
置に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a coordinate input device for moving a cursor on a screen of a display device, and particularly to a coordinate input device with good operability.
一般にパーソナルコンピュータ等に接続される表示装置
の画面上のカーソルを移動させるための座標入力装置と
して、操作者が机上環の平面上を任意の方向に移動させ
てＸ、Ｙ方向の移動量を入力する座標入力装置（以下マ
ウスという）が広く使用されている。第４図、第５図は
従来のマウスの斜視図である。従来マウス１の操作は、
マウスの本体２を手のひらで包み込むようにしながら任
意の方向にマウス１を移動させることにより行ってきた
。そのため、マウス１の外観形状も第４図。As a coordinate input device for moving a cursor on the screen of a display device that is generally connected to a personal computer, the operator moves the desk ring in any direction on the plane and inputs the amount of movement in the X and Y directions. Coordinate input devices (hereinafter referred to as mice) are widely used. 4 and 5 are perspective views of a conventional mouse. The conventional mouse 1 operation is
This was done by moving the mouse 1 in an arbitrary direction while wrapping the mouse body 2 in the palm of the hand. Therefore, the external shape of mouse 1 is also shown in Figure 4.
第５図に示すように人間工学的観点から手のひらの包み
込みに合った滑らかな形状となっていた。As shown in Figure 5, it had a smooth shape that fit the palm of the hand from an ergonomic point of view.
しかしこのような形状の従来のものでは次に述べるよう
な不具合な問題があった。However, conventional devices having such a shape had the following problems.
最近、特に省スペースで狭くなった机上では、画面上の
隅から隅へカーソルを移動させるような場合のマウスの
必要移動量を直線距離で連続して移動させることは困難
であるため、短い距離を数回移動させることになる。こ
のときマウス１を持ち上げて動かし再び元の位置へ戻す
ような、机上を移動させる動作をくり返すことになるが
、従来のマウス本体２の形状は持ち上げることに対して
配慮がされておらず、マウス１を持ち上げる際にマウス
１を落さないよう余計な注意を払う必要があり、操作性
に問題があった。Recently, especially on desktops where space has become smaller and smaller, it is difficult to move the mouse continuously in a straight line to move the cursor from corner to corner on the screen. will have to be moved several times. At this time, you will have to repeatedly move the mouse 1 around the desk, such as lifting it up, moving it, and returning it to its original position, but the shape of the conventional mouse body 2 does not take into account lifting. It was necessary to be extra careful not to drop the mouse 1 when lifting it up, which caused problems in operability.
本発明の目的は、持ち上げ易くして狭い場所で使用する
際でも操作性の優れたマウスを提供することにある。An object of the present invention is to provide a mouse that is easy to lift and has excellent operability even when used in a narrow space.
上記の目的は、マウス本体側面にすべり止めを設けるこ
とにより達成される。The above object is achieved by providing a non-slip feature on the side surface of the mouse body.
〔作用〕
マウス本体側面にすべり止めを設けることは、マウス本
体を持ち上げる際の、マウス本体と手の指との間の摩擦
力を増すので、マウス本体を落さないよう余計な注意を
払う必要をなくすことになる。[Function] Providing anti-slip features on the sides of the mouse body increases the frictional force between the mouse body and fingers when lifting the mouse body, so extra care must be taken not to drop the mouse body. will be eliminated.
以下、本発明の実施例を図によって説明する。 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
第１図は本発明の実施例を示す。マウス本体２の形状は
手のひらで包み込み易い曲面形状をとっている。曲面形
状のマウス本体２の両側面の、手のひらで包み込んだと
きの親指および他の指の位置に対応して四部５を設けで
ある。これによりマウス１を持ち上げる際マウス本体２
を握った手の指とマウス本体２との摩擦抵抗が増すので
、マウスを落さないよう余計な注意を払う必要がない。FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the invention. The mouse body 2 has a curved shape that can be easily wrapped in the palm of the hand. Four parts 5 are provided on both sides of the curved mouse body 2, corresponding to the positions of the thumb and other fingers when the mouse body 2 is wrapped in the palm of the hand. This allows you to lift the mouse body 2 when lifting the mouse 1.
Since the frictional resistance between the fingers of the hand holding the mouse and the mouse body 2 increases, there is no need to be extra careful not to drop the mouse.
第２図は、マウス本体２の両側面に突起６を設けること
により第１図の場合と同様の効果を得る構造の一例であ
り、第３図はスリット７を設けろことにより同様の効果
をもたせた一例である。FIG. 2 shows an example of a structure in which the same effect as in FIG. 1 is obtained by providing protrusions 6 on both sides of the mouse body 2, and FIG. 3 shows a structure in which the same effect is obtained by providing slits 7. This is an example.
なお、上記実施例では２ボタン方式のマウスに本発明を
適用したが、本発明を１ボタンあるいは多数ボタン方式
のマウスに適用してもよいことは勿論である。In the above embodiment, the present invention is applied to a two-button type mouse, but it goes without saying that the present invention may be applied to a one-button or multiple-button type mouse.
本発明によれば、マウスを落さないよう余計な注意を払
わずに操作可能なため、狭い机上でもマウスによるカー
ソル移動を容易に行うことができる。According to the present invention, since the mouse can be operated without paying extra attention not to drop it, the cursor can be easily moved using the mouse even on a narrow desk.
