CONSTITUTION:A mouse type mobile tool 1 contains a tracing ball 2, for exam ple, on its bottom surface and a swelled part 3 which is formed at the rear part of the tool 1 and can be covered with a palm. Furthermore a keyboard 4 is added to the front part of the tool 1 together with a stage part 5 formed between a higher place of the front edge of the part 3 and the rear end of the keyboard 4. Then a hook shape part 6 etends upward from the side part of the part 3 and has its upper end part bent inside like a hook. Thus the wrist of an operator can be fitted close to the part 3. As a result, the part 3 can be covered with the palm and a key input device can be freely moved on a table in both right-left and front-back directions. Thus the key input device can serve as a conventional mouse.</p> |
