Computer mouse oriented to disabled people or with movement disorders

摘要

The preferred embodiment of the invention describes a pointing device comprising a cabinet divided in two housings screwed together. Below the upper housing, a flexible, hard-use film contains all button symbols printed thereon and aligned with the housing upper side holes and tact switch actuators.;A high-relief surface defines the visible surface of depressed buttons surrounded by restraining circular walls which arise from said high-relief surface.;All buttons are placed in a bas-relief surface to avoid undesired or unintended pressings. Moreover, the fact that they are in a depressed surface help people with limb movement disorders to avoid the involuntary movement of their fingers beyond the limits of the depressed buttons, which act as restraining areas, thus avoiding to click, press or hold an undesired button.

主权项

1. A computer mouse oriented to disabled people or people with movement disorders, comprising:
a housing comprising two separate parts assembled with each other, a series of different colored buttons arranged according to their functions, wherein said buttons are in a depressed surface and surrounded by restraining walls, wherein at least one button restraining wall arises from a high-relief surface, a flexible hard-use film containing all button symbols printed thereon, a filler rubber, and a printed circuit board, wherein at least one separator, including a micro-porous rubber separator to support pressure exerted from fingers of a user, is arranged between one of the housing parts and the printed circuit board, wherein the at least one separator includes three additional hard rubber separators to prevent accidental pushing of any of the buttons caused by a torsion provoked by an unintentional pressing of the housing, wherein the three additional hard rubber separators are arranged between one of the housing parts and the printed circuit board.
