  • Patent number: 5519910
    Abstract: An assembly is provided which enables effective and rapid cleaning of computer mouse balls. The assembly includes a generally planar member, have a smooth low friction upper surface with a recessed well being formed at the member within the lateral periphery of same. The bottom of the well defines a plane which is parallel to the upper surface of the planar member and which is coated with an adhesive film. The planar member thereby defines a frame for the well so that the computer mouse may be positioned with its ball in the well in contact with the adhesive film, while the adjacent underlying body of the mouse is supported upon and slides freely upon the planar surface of the frame. This enable effective rolling of the ball in contact with the adhesive film to enable cleaning of the ball surface.
