APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CLEANING A COMPUTER MOUSE DEVICE

摘要

A computer mouse device cleaner (1) uses a cleaning surface (3) that has a diameter that is approximately the same as or larger than the diameter of a mouse ball. The cleaning surface (3) is made of a hook material or an abrasive, absorbent material, and both materials can be used as two cleaning surfaces in a single device or kit. A curved ball cleaning surface (26) made of an abrasive, absorbent material can also be included at an end of the handle of the cleaning device. In use, the cleaning surface (3) is placed into the interior ball cavity of the mouse and rotated to cause the interior mouse rollers (35) to roll. If a liquid cleaning solvent is applied to the hook material, it can be used to clean the mouse rollers and then removed by subsequent use of the abrasive, absorbent material.
