Mouse with a full line structure

The present invention relates to a wired mouse mouse, and more particularly to a mouse having a full line structure.

A conventional wired mouse includes a mouse body and a connecting line. The cable connects the mouse body to an electronic device (eg, a computer). In the prior art, when the wired mouse is not used or carried, the connecting line is generally wound on the body of the mouse. In the conventional connection method of the connecting cable, the connector of the connecting wire is not fixed, so that it is easy to be scattered, which causes inconvenience to the user.

The present invention provides a mouse with a full-line structure for solving the problems of the prior art, and includes a housing, a base, a connecting unit and a wire. A housing has an opening and an opening edge. The base corresponds to the housing, the base moves between a first position and a second position, wherein when the base is in the first position, the base abuts the opening edge to cover the opening when the base is located In the second position, the base leaves the edge of the opening. A coupling unit connects the housing to the base to allow the base to move relative to the housing. The wire includes a joint, wherein the wire is wound around the joint unit when the wire is in a stowed state.

According to the embodiment of the present invention, since the wire and the joint thereof are properly received and fixed in the cavity formed by the casing and the base, the problem that the wire material is not scattered is convenient for the user to carry. In addition, the wire may be only partially wound around the connecting post to shorten the portion of the wire exposed to the mouse.

Referring to FIGS. 1A and 1B, a mouse 100 having a full-line structure according to a first embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 110, a base 120, a connecting unit 130, and a wire 140. The housing 110 has an opening 111 and an opening edge 112. The base 120 corresponds to the housing 110, and the base 120 moves between a first position (the position shown in FIG. 1A) and a second position (the position shown in FIG. 1B), wherein when the base 120 is located In the first position, the base 120 abuts the opening edge 112 to cover the opening 111. When the base 120 is in the second position, the base 120 leaves the opening edge 112 to open the opening 111. The connecting unit 130 connects the housing 110 and the base 120 to allow the base 120 to move relative to the housing 110. The wire 140 includes a joint 141, wherein the wire 140 is wound around the joint unit 130 when the wire 140 is in a stowed state.

The connecting unit 130 includes a connecting post 132 and a connecting seat 131. The connecting post 132 is disposed on the base 120. The connecting seat 131 is disposed on the inner surface of the housing 110. The connecting post 132 is slidably The connection base 131 is connected.

The connecting seat 131 includes a first limiting slot 1311, a second limiting slot 1312 and a limiting block 1313. The connecting post 132 includes a first arm 1321 and a second arm 1322. The first arm 1321 slides in the first limiting slot 1311. When the base 120 is in the first position, the limiting block 1313 abuts the first arm 1321 to limit the connecting post 132. When the 120 is to be moved toward the second position, the first arm 1321 is deformed by force to disengage from the limiting block 1313 and slide in the first limiting slot 1311. The second arm 1322 slides in the second limiting slot 1312. When the base 120 is in the second position, the first arm 1321 and the second arm 1322 respectively abut the bottom of the first limiting slot 1311 and the second limiting slot 1312.

In an embodiment, the mouse 100 may further include a resilient member 133 that abuts the housing 110 and the second arm 1322. When the first arm 1321 is pushed and deformed by a ejector element 114, the first arm 1321 is disengaged from the limiting block 1313, and the elastic element 133 pushes the connecting post 132 and the base 120 toward the first Two position moves.

In an embodiment, the connecting post 132 further includes a rib 1323. The wire 140 is wound on the connecting post 132 when the wire 140 is in the stowed state, and is located at the rib 1323 and the base 120. between.

The housing 110 further has a notch 113 formed on the opening edge 112. When the wire 140 is in a use state, the wire 140 abuts the notch 113.

The mouse 100 can further include a terminal fixing unit 150. The terminal fixing unit 150 is disposed on the base 120. When the wire 140 is in the receiving state, the connector 141 is engaged with the terminal fixing unit 150.

Referring to FIG. 1C, it is shown that the wire 140 is housed in the casing 110, and the base 120 is at the second position. According to the embodiment of the present invention, since the wire and the joint are properly received and fixed in the cavity formed by the casing 110 and the base 120, the problem that the wire is not scattered is convenient for the user to carry. In addition, the wire may be only partially wound around the connecting post 132 to shorten the portion of the wire exposed to the mouse.

The second figure shows the detailed structure of the first arm 1321, the limiting block 1313, and the first limiting chute 1311. As shown in the figure, the connecting post 132 and the connecting base 131 are both cylindrical.

Referring to Figures 3A and 3B, there is shown a mouse 100' having a full-line structure according to a second embodiment of the present invention, comprising a housing 110, a base 120 and a wire 140. The housing 110 has an opening 111, an opening edge 112, and a coupling seat 131'. A base 120 has a connecting post 132 ′ that is detachably connected to the connecting seat 131 ′. The base 120 corresponds to the housing 110 , wherein when the connecting post 132 ′ engages the connecting seat 131 When the base 120 abuts the opening edge 112 to cover the opening 111; when the connecting post 132' separates the connecting seat 131', the base 120 leaves the opening edge 112. The wire 140 includes a joint 141 in which the wire 140 is wound around the connecting post 132' when the wire 140 is in a stowed condition.

In the same manner as the first embodiment, the connecting post 132 ′ further includes a rib 1323 . The wire 140 is wound on the connecting post 132 ′ when the wire 140 is in the accommodating state, and is located at the rib 1323 and the base 120 . between.

The mouse 100' of the second embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that the connecting post 132' is detachably coupled to the joint 131'. Both the first embodiment and the second embodiment can open the opening 111, and allow the wire and its joint to be properly received and fixed in the cavity formed by the housing 110 and the base 120.

Although the present invention has been described above in terms of the preferred embodiments thereof, it is not intended to limit the invention, and those skilled in the art can make some modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, the scope of the invention is defined by the scope of the appended claims.
