Description
【0001】[0001]
本考案は手で握れるマウス本体に、位置入力用の指操作部を付設したマウス装 置に関する。 The present invention relates to a mouse device in which a hand-held mouse body is provided with a finger operation unit for position input.
【0002】[0002]
従来、マウス装置としては、指操作部の一例である押しボタンをマウス本体の 上面に設けてあるものが知られている。 Conventionally, as a mouse device, there is known a mouse device in which a push button, which is an example of a finger operation unit, is provided on the upper surface of the mouse body.
【0003】[0003]
しかし、上記のマウス装置においては、押しボタンがマウス本体の上面にあっ て、その押しボタンを操作するためには、手でマウス本体を両側方から握った状 態で、その握った方向とは異なる上下方向に指を動かさねばならず、位置入力操 作を行いにくかった。特に、押しボタンを押し続けてのマウス本体の移動が長時 間にわたる場合に、手や指が疲れ易いということもあった。 本考案の目的は、操作し易く、長時間の使用に際しても疲れにくいマウス装置 を提供することにある。 However, in the above mouse device, the push button is located on the upper surface of the mouse body, and in order to operate the push button, the mouse body is grasped from both sides by the hand, and the direction in which it is grasped. I had to move my finger in different vertical directions, making it difficult to perform position input operations. In particular, when the mouse body is moved for a long time by pressing and holding the push button, the hands and fingers tend to get tired. It is an object of the present invention to provide a mouse device that is easy to operate and does not cause fatigue even after long-term use.
【0004】[0004]
この目的を達成するための本考案によるマウス装置の特徴構成は、マウス本体 に、そのマウス本体を手で握るための握り部を設けると共に、前記マウス本体の 側面で前記握り部と異なる位置に、前記握り部を握った手の指で操作可能な指操 作部を設けてあることにある。 To achieve this object, the mouse device according to the present invention is characterized in that the mouse body is provided with a grip portion for gripping the mouse body with a hand, and at a position different from the grip portion on the side surface of the mouse body. There is provided a finger operation section which can be operated by the fingers of the hand holding the grip section.
【0005】 また、前記握り部の下方のマウス本体を下窄まり形状に形成するとともに、そ の握り部の下方に前記指操作部を設けてあってもよい。さらに、前記指操作部を 、前記握り部を握った手の親指で操作可能な位置に設けてあってもよく、前記指 操作部を、前記握り部を握った手の人差指で操作可能な位置に設けてあってもよ い。Further, the mouse main body below the grip portion may be formed in a downward constricted shape, and the finger operation portion may be provided below the grip portion. Further, the finger operation part may be provided at a position where the thumb of the hand holding the grip part can operate, and the finger operation part can be operated by the index finger of the hand holding the grip part. It may be provided in.
【0006】[0006]
つまり、握り部によってマウス本体を握った手の指で操作可能な指操作部を、 マウス本体側面に設けてあるから、マウス本体を移動させて位置確定したうえで 指操作部によって位置入力を行う場合に、指操作部を操作する力の方向を、握り 部を握る方向に一致させることが出来るから、マウス装置を用いた位置入力作業 を、余分な力を用いることなく容易にできるようになった。また、前記指操作部 を握り部とは異なる位置に設けてあるので、位置入力することなく移動だけを行 うべく前記マウス本体を握っただけでは、前記指操作部が操作されることがなく 、マウス装置を誤動作少なく使用することが出来る。 In other words, since the finger operation part that can be operated with the fingers of the hand holding the mouse body by the grip part is provided on the side surface of the mouse body, the position is determined by moving the mouse body, and then the position is input by the finger operation part. In this case, since the direction of the force for operating the finger operation unit can be made to coincide with the direction in which the grip unit is grasped, it becomes possible to easily perform the position input work using the mouse device without using extra force. It was Further, since the finger operation section is provided at a position different from the grip section, the finger operation section is not operated by simply grasping the mouse body to move only without inputting the position. The mouse device can be used with less malfunction.
【0007】 また、前記握り部の下方のマウス本体を下窄まり形状に形成するとともに、そ の握り部の下方に前記指操作部を設けてあれば、下窄まり部分が手がかりとなっ てマウス本体をより確実に握ることが出来ると共に、そのことで、その握り部を 握った手の指が握りにはあまり関与せずともよくて、自由に動かすことが出来る こととなるので、尚一層位置入力操作を行い易くなる。If the mouse body below the grip portion is formed into a downward constricted shape and the finger operation portion is provided below the grip portion, the downward constricted portion serves as a clue. The body can be gripped more reliably, which means that the fingers of the hand holding the grip do not have to be involved in gripping much and can be moved freely. The input operation becomes easy.
【0008】 さらに、前記指操作部の位置を前記握り部を握った状態で親指や人差指で操作 可能な位置にに配置しておけば、親指は5本の指の内で最も力をかけやすい指で あるので力の利用効率が良くなり、人差指は前記マウス本体を握る動作にあまり 関与しないので作業性よく前記指操作部を操作できることになる。Further, if the position of the finger operation unit is arranged at a position where the thumb or the index finger can be operated while holding the grip portion, the thumb is most likely to exert force among the five fingers. Since it is a finger, the efficiency of use of force is improved, and the index finger does not participate in the operation of gripping the mouse body so much that the finger operation unit can be operated with good workability.
【0009】[0009]
従って、本考案のマウス装置によれば、握り部と指操作部とを独立させて設け ることで誤動作を防止しながら、マウス本体を握る方向と指操作部に対する操作 方向をほぼ同じにすることで位置入力操作が容易に出来るようになり、前記マウ ス装置を用いた位置入力操作のために不自然な力をかけずともよいから、操作し 易く長時間にわたってマウス装置を使用する場合においても疲れにくいマウス装 置を提供することが出来るようになった。 Therefore, according to the mouse device of the present invention, by arranging the grip part and the finger operation part independently, it is possible to prevent the malfunction and to make the direction of gripping the mouse body and the operation direction of the finger operation part substantially the same. Since the position input operation can be easily performed with, and it is not necessary to apply unnatural force to the position input operation using the mouse device, it is easy to operate and even when the mouse device is used for a long time. It is now possible to provide a mouse device that is less tiring.
【0010】 また、前記マウス本体を下窄まりの形状とすれば、握りがより確実で指操作部 の操作が一層しやすくなるので、マウス装置に対する操作性をより向上させるこ とが出来る。Further, if the mouse main body is formed into a downward constricted shape, the grip is more reliable and the operation of the finger operation section becomes easier, so that the operability of the mouse device can be further improved.
【0011】[0011]
図1に示すように、本考案のマウス装置は人の手に収まる大きさからなるマウ ス本体Mに、握り部Gを設けると共に、指操作部Bとして第1押ボタン1と第2 押ボタン2とを設けてなる。 As shown in FIG. 1, the mouse device of the present invention is provided with a grip portion G on a mouse body M having a size that fits in a human hand, and also has a first push button 1 and a second push button as a finger operation portion B. 2 are provided.
【0012】 前記第1押ボタン1は、握り部の下方に当たる側面部Sの左側部前方で、マウ ス本体Mを握った右手の親指で操作可能な位置に、握り部Gを手で握る時の指の 握り方向がその第1押ボタン1を押し操作する方向にほぼ一致するように設置し てある。また、前記第2押ボタン2は、前記側面部Sの前端部左方で、マウス本 体を握った手の人差指で操作可能な位置に第1押ボタン1と同様に、握り部Gを 手で握るときの人差指の握り方向がその第2押ボタン2を押し操作する方向に一 致するように設置してある。これにより、マウス本体Mの握りとは独立して、親 指または人差指によって、誤動作少なく指操作部Bを操作できる。When the first push button 1 is to grip the grip portion G with the hand, in front of the left side of the side surface portion S that is below the grip portion, at a position where the thumb of the right hand holding the mouse body M can operate. It is installed so that the gripping direction of the finger of the is almost the same as the direction in which the first push button 1 is pushed and operated. Further, the second push button 2 is located on the left side of the front end of the side face S at a position where it can be operated by the index finger of the hand holding the main body of the mouse, like the first push button 1. It is installed so that the gripping direction of the forefinger when gripping with is aligned with the direction in which the second push button 2 is pressed and operated. As a result, independently of the grip of the mouse body M, the finger operation part B can be operated by the index finger or the index finger with less malfunction.
【0013】 従って、本考案のマウス装置を用いて位置入力操作を行う場合に、マウス本体 Mを握持する方向以外の方向に指操作部を操作するための力を加える必要がなく なり、長時間の使用に際しても疲れにくくできた。Therefore, when performing a position input operation using the mouse device of the present invention, it is not necessary to apply a force for operating the finger operation unit in a direction other than the direction in which the mouse body M is gripped. I was less likely to get tired when using time.
【0014】 〔別実施例〕 例えば、図2aのようにマウス本体Mの縦断面形状を下窄まり状態にする、も しくは、図2bのように親指の第一関節において係止する係止部Cを有する形状 にするなどして、第1押ボタン1の操作を行い易くすることが出来る。つまり、 これらの場合、親指の第一関節と他の指とにおいてマウス本体Mを保持でき、親 指の第一関節から先は、マウス本体Mを手で保持しながらも自由に動かすことが 出来るので、より操作性良く第1押ボタン1を操作できるのである。[Other Embodiments] For example, as shown in FIG. 2a, the vertical cross-sectional shape of the mouse main body M is in a downward constricted state, or as shown in FIG. 2b, locking is performed at the first joint of the thumb. The operation of the first push button 1 can be facilitated by forming the shape having the portion C. In other words, in these cases, the mouse body M can be held by the first joint of the thumb and the other finger, and the first joint of the thumb can be freely moved while holding the mouse body M by hand. Therefore, the first push button 1 can be operated with better operability.
【0015】 本実施例においては指操作部Bを、親指で操作する第1押ボタン1及び、人差 指で操作する第2押ボタン2の2個としたが、指操作部の設置個数は2個に限ら れるものではなく、中指で操作する第3押ボタンをさらに加えて設けることも可 能である。さらに多数の押ボタンを設けることも可能であり、この場合、マウス 装置により多くの機能をもたせることが出来る利点がある。また、指操作部Bと して2つの押ボタンを設ける場合に、それらを中指と親指に振り当てる等、指と 指操作部との対応の組合せも自由である。さらに、さほど多くの機能を必要とし ないときは、指操作部Bを1つだけ設けることによって操作を単純化することも できる。尚、長時間押し続ける指操作部Bは、親指に振り当てることが望ましい 。In the present embodiment, the finger operation section B is composed of the first push button 1 operated by the thumb and the second push button 2 operated by the index finger. The number is not limited to two, and a third push button operated by the middle finger can be additionally provided. It is also possible to provide a large number of push buttons, and in this case, there is an advantage that the mouse device can be provided with more functions. Further, when two push buttons are provided as the finger operation unit B, the corresponding combinations of the finger and the finger operation unit can be freely set, for example, by allocating them to the middle finger and the thumb. Further, when not so many functions are required, the operation can be simplified by providing only one finger operation unit B. In addition, it is desirable that the finger operation section B, which is kept pressed for a long time, is applied to the thumb.
【0016】 指操作部Bは、スライドスイッチ3に代えることも可能である。この場合、例 えば親指に対応する前記指操作部Bをスライドスイッチ3とし、このスライドス イッチ3をスライドさせることにより、指操作部Bが押ボタンである場合にそれ を押し続けた場合と同様の機能を受け持たせると、一旦そのスライドスイッチ3 をスライドさせるだけで、マウス本体Mの移動により位置確定を行っている間に 、指操作部を操作し続ける必要がなくなり、操作の省力化が図られることになる 。なお、図中2は先の実施例と同様の押ボタン式の指操作部3である。(図3参 照) さらに、マウス本体側面部Sに指操作部Bを設けることに加えて、従来のよう にマウス本体上面部にも指操作部Bを設けてこれらを組み合わせてもよい。(図 4参照)The finger operation unit B can be replaced with the slide switch 3. In this case, for example, when the finger operation section B corresponding to the thumb is used as the slide switch 3 and the slide switch 3 is slid, the finger operation section B is a push button, similar to the case where the finger operation section B is continuously pressed. If the function of the above is given, it is not necessary to continue operating the finger operation unit while the position is being fixed by moving the mouse body M by only sliding the slide switch 3 once, which saves the labor of the operation. It will be planned. Reference numeral 2 in the figure is a push-button type finger operation unit 3 similar to the previous embodiment. (Refer to FIG. 3) Furthermore, in addition to providing the finger operation unit B on the side surface S of the mouse body, the finger operation unit B may be provided on the upper surface of the mouse body as in the conventional case, and these may be combined. (See Figure 4)
【0017】 また、指操作部Bをスライド式にするとともに3段に切り替え出来るようにす るなど切り替え方のバリエーションを増すことも可能である。また、指操作部B として水平軸心回りに回動自在の操作基部に回動操作用突起部を設けた構成とし てもよい。Further, it is possible to increase the variation of the switching method, for example, by making the finger operation section B slidable and switching it in three stages. Further, the finger operation section B may be configured such that a rotation operation protrusion is provided on an operation base section that is rotatable about a horizontal axis.
【0018】 本実施例においては、マウス本体Mを右手で操作する形状に形成したが、この 形状は右利きの人の使用を想定したものであって、左利きの人の使用を想定した 場合には、本実施例における「右」と「左」とを置き換えた形状は当然考えられ る。In the present embodiment, the mouse body M is formed in a shape that can be operated with the right hand. However, this shape is intended for use by a right-handed person, and is intended for use by a left-handed person. As a matter of course, a shape in which “right” and “left” in this embodiment are replaced is conceivable.
