Ergonomic computer mouse

摘要

An ergonomic computer mouse includes a mouse body, left and right lug members, a palm resting body having a height-adjusting member, an actuator configured to be manually operable to deliver a rotational force, and a cam assembly. The height-adjusting member has a pivot portion pivoted to the mouse body and a liftable portion opposite to the pivot portion. The cam assembly is disposed to convert the rotational force to a translational force, and is configured to couple the actuator to the liftable portion such that the translational force is imparted on the liftable portion, to thereby move the liftable portion between upper and lower positions.

主权项

1. An ergonomic computer mouse comprising:
a mouse body having front and rear end walls opposite to each other in a lengthwise direction, and a top surface which extends between said front and rear end walls, and which has a click region; left and right lug members each extending rearwardly from said rear end wall in the lengthwise direction to terminate at a ridge end; a palm resting body having a palm resting surface, and including
a height-adjusting member which has left and right side walls opposite to each other in a transverse direction relative to the lengthwise direction and facing said left and right lug members, respectively, each of said left and right side walls having
a pivot portion disposed to be pivoted to a corresponding one of said left and right lug members about a pivot axis extending in the transverse direction, anda liftable portion which is opposite to said pivot portion in a radial direction, and which is angularly movable about the pivot axis and between upper and lower positions; an actuator configured to be manually operable to deliver a rotational force; and a cam assembly which is disposed to convert the rotational force to a translational force, and which is configured to couple said actuator to said liftable portion such that the translational force is imparted on said liftable portion to thereby move said liftable portion between the upper and lower positions.
