Embodiment

As described in above-mentioned known technology, in order to improve the known shortcoming that should change the mouse foot pad of failing in time to know, the present invention proposes a kind of mouse foot pad that comprises two kinds of materials, with the foot pad of reminding the timely replacing of user to wear and tear.

As Fig. 2, it is the synoptic diagram that is provided with the mouse bottom of mouse foot pad of the present invention.In mouse apparatus 200, have mouse body 201 and bottom 202, and foot pad 203 is set in mouse bottom 202.Wherein foot pad 203 comprises first material 204 and second material 205, have second coefficientoffriction 2 and first material 204 has first coefficientoffriction, 1, the second material, and μ 1 is less than μ 2.

Mouse foot pad 203 of the present invention is characterised in that to have two kinds of materials, and has the friction factor of different sizes respectively.Wherein first material 204 and second material 205 are superimposed, first material 204 and the workplace, and as desktop, contact.Therefore in order to make mouse apparatus 200 have high operability, select first coefficientoffriction, the 1 first less material 204 to contact with workplace.Second material 205 is fixed on the mouse bottom 202, and second coefficientoffriction 2 of second material 205 that is to say that greater than μ 1 second material 205 is more coarse materials.The usefulness that one deck second material 205 is set after first material 204 again is intended to, when being worn, first material 204 consumes and when second material 205 can directly be contacted with workplace, the level and smooth contact that moves will be lowered because of the second more coarse material between mouse apparatus 200 scripts and the workplace, that is to say, the user can experience the reduction of the smoothness between mouse 200 and the workplace more significantly when rolling mouse 200, and then recognize that first material 204 in the foot pad 203 has worn away totally the foot pad that must more renew.When 204 losses of first material, when second material 205 contacts with workplace, the user does not find the difference sense that mouse apparatus 200 uses at once, continue use again and do not change foot pad 203, also because the existence of second material 205, mouse bottom 202 is not directly contacted with workplace and avoid being worn, and when first material 204 that residues in second material, 205 surfaces wears away fully, large-area second material 205 can directly contact with workplace, mouse apparatus 200 is difficult to operation more, and this moment, the low smoothness of mouse apparatus 200 can remind the user need change foot pad 203 once again.

Foot pad of the present invention can have the embodiment of different space structures.As Fig. 3 A, Fig. 3 B, Fig. 3 C, it is the synoptic diagram of the embodiment of the present invention's first to the 3rd mouse foot pad.

Foot pad among Fig. 3 A is directly superimposed and form by first material 204 and second material 205, and wherein first material 204 contacts with workplace.The mouse foot pad can begin wearing and tearing in use from the part at edge, when the edge of first material 204 has worn away when the part of second material 205 can contact with workplace, first material 204 of foot pad central part is still very thick, this moment second, material 205 was little with the contact area of workplace, therefore, it is more not obvious that second material 205 and workplace contact the harsh feeling that is produced, but the smoothness during rolling mouse can be along with the minimizing of first material 204, the contact area of second material 205 and workplace is big more and descend, and this moment, second material 205 was caused low smooth and easyly reaches the effect that the prompting user changes the mouse foot pad.

Foot pad among Fig. 3 B is on first material 204 perforate 206 to be set, and first material 204 and the contact area of workplace are reduced.Because the mouse foot pad can begin wearing and tearing in use from the part at edge, add first material, 204 perforates at the mouse foot pad, so the mouse foot pad can be from the outside and the edge of perforate side begin wearing and tearing, thus, the wear intensity of first material 204 can compare on average.When the abrasion of the edge of the outside of first material 204 and perforate side when the part of second material 205 can contact with workplace, most first material 204 all has been worn away, therefore, second material 205 becomes big with the contact area of workplace, the harsh feeling that this moment, second material 205 was produced is fairly obvious, can allow the user find the low smoothness of mouse easily, thereby realize the abrasion of first material 204 and change foot pad.

Foot pad among Fig. 3 C also is on first material 204 perforation to be set, and the foot pad of its working condition and Fig. 3 B is approaching.Difference be in, on second material 205, have jut 207, it stretches in the perforate 206 of first material 204, shown in Fig. 3 C.The foot pad of Fig. 3 C is used for controlling the time that produces harsh feeling, and just first material 204 is worn away the time totally.The mouse foot pad of Fig. 3 C is adjusted the time of first material, 204 abrasion by jut 207 thickness, jut 207 is thick more, perforate 206 is just shallow more, it is just short more that first material 204 wears up to the time that jut 207 can contact with workplace, and the thickness that is to say the jut 207 of Fig. 3 C embodiment is can be controlled.

Thickness for first material that wears away among the present invention can be set at, and for example 0.1 to 0.2mm, shown in Fig. 3 A, Fig. 3 B, Fig. 3 C.In Fig. 3 C, thickness for first material (being that the thickness that indicates among Fig. 3 C is 0.1 to 0.2mm part) of abrasion is set to 0.1 to 0.2mm, if but the thickness of increase jut 207, then will be less than 0.1 to 0.2mm for first material, 204 thickness of abrasion, otherwise, if reduce the thickness of jut 207, then can be greater than 0.1 to 0.2mm for first material, 204 thickness of abrasion.

What specify is that the structure of foot pad of the present invention except that three kinds of embodiment shown in Fig. 3 A, Fig. 3 B, Fig. 3 C, also has other embodiment.For example, the perforate on first material not necessarily only has one, and a plurality of perforates can be set on demand, and shown in the mouse foot pad of Fig. 2, it shows that a foot pad has the situation of two perforation.In addition, the shape of foot pad is not to be defined in disclosed ellipse in the present invention's diagram, can be circle, circular arc and strip etc. yet.
