    Abstract: An anti-harmful impact input device has one or more than one housing space formed in its main body. Each housing space accommodates at least one gravity buffer, and an elastic buffer is intercalated between the gravity buffer and the inner wall of the housing space. The gravity buffer is made of weights, lead beads, or other massive substance, and the elastic buffer is formed of two springs, rubber, cotton, foam cotton, or thermoplastic elastomer. Each of the two ends of the gravity buffer is connected to one end of the spring, whereas the other end thereof is mated to the inner wall surface of the housing space so as to suspend the gravity buffer in the housing space with the tensile force of the spring.

  • Publication number: 20070273639
    Abstract: A track type impact buffered input device is equipped with an extra weight buffer. When the input device is moved from a position to another by the user, the weight buffer will retard the motion of the input device with its increased inertia as if a reversed force were applied to the input device. Hence, the impact force imposed on the user's wrist is alleviated by the retarding effect of the weight buffer, and the user does not need to exert a large force to stop the input device at the new position or when a sudden change of moving direction is required, thereby preventing potential injury to the user's wrist by the impact force.

  • Publication number: 20070168587
    Abstract: An input switching arrangement by using an auxiliary keyboard is disclosed. Such arrangement comprises a main keyboard with a first set of keys and a first switching key, and at least an auxiliary keyboard each with a second set of keys and a second switching key. The main keyboard and the auxiliary keyboard are connected to a computer. The first switching key and the second switching key may send out a signal to the computer to switch the code mode. Because the code mode for each keyboard is determined by its corresponding status flag, the code mode for the main keyboard does not need to be tracked, and hence a user only has to adjust the status flag of the auxiliary keyboard so as to change the code mode for the auxiliary keyboard and to use the auxiliary keyboard along with the main keyboard.

  • Publication number: 20060007146
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a kind of electrodes touching mouse, especially one using the electrostatic induction caused by the finger pressure to operate the mouse function keys. The present invention consists of four conducting surfaces and an inner metal point wherein the four conducting surfaces represent the left, right, upper roller and down roller keys respectively operated by the static electricity emitted by the finger. The inner metal point is connected to the mouse circuit for reading of the circuit signal produced by the finger in touch with the conducting surface. Hence, the present invention provides a modern and original structure of adjoining key buttons using electric induction as power source. This structure is also dust and waterproof and makes no mechanical noise when in use.

  • Publication number: 20050134564
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a touch type mouse structure, especially one using fingers to interrupt light and simultaneously press mouse function keys. The structure mainly consists of four pressing points matched with an inner light sensor wherein the four pressing points form a concave body, illuminating at the conducting bar at the concave edge. The bottom edge allows light to pass through for reaction of inner sensor. The inner sensor is surrounded by the conducting bar material on the outside and interrupting materials inside and is designed at the center of each pressing point and connected to the inner circuit of the mouse. Hence, the present invention provides a convenient and easy way to simultaneously press function keys and interrupt light for soundless control effect. It is the most modern design as there are no conjunctions between the touch keys interface, thus avoiding dust and other residue.
