  • Patent number: 6650316
    Abstract: A mouse with replaceable push panel comprising a push panel and a base unit. At an appropriate position of the base unit, such as its front or its rear, there is at least one embedding unit, the embedding unit having a trough, at the bottom of the trough being a check unit, on the push panel and opposite the embedding unit being a fastening key, at the end of the fastening key being a cone-shaped fastening unit. When the push panel is joined to the base unit, the fastening key penetrates the trough of the embedding unit, and its cone-shaped fastening unit is then fastened to the check unit, or they may also be pulled apart by separate the push panel from the base unit, for the purpose of convenient replacement of the push panel. Besides, inside the push panel can be installed a battery compartment to accommodate a battery for its application to a wireless mouse.

  • Publication number: 20020196235
    Abstract: The invention relates to an optical mouse, comprising a base unit, a transmitter and a receptor installed in the base unit to obtain coordinates, a transparent or semi-transparent sensing board that is installed above the transmitter and the receptor, and an accommodating chamber to accommodate the sensing board. The sensing board is capable of movement, front and back, left and right, inside the accommodating chamber, so designed that the signals transmitted from the transmitter are reflected by the sensing board back to the receptor to measure its coordinates. Then, whenever there is any movement of the sensing board, the change of movement is calculated to indicate the movement of cursor, so that the optical mouse can be used to move the cursor.

  • Patent number: 6332596
    Abstract: A device for releasably mounting a wrist support to a keyboard is disclosed. The device includes a slide movably received in a slot defined in a front extension of the keyboard. The slide has a bottom projection extending beyond a bottom face of the keyboard for manually moving the slide and an L-shaped top projection having a segment spaced from a top surface of the slide for defining a channel. A guide plate is fixed to the keyboard by a bolt and has an edge movably received in the channel for retaining the slide in the slot and guiding the movement of the slide. A catch is attached to the slide to be movable therewith between a released position and a secured position. The catch forms a barb whereby when the catch is at the secured position, the barb engages an opening defined in the wrist support for securing the wrist support to the keyboard and when the catch is at the released position, the barb disengages from the opening of the wrist support for releasing the wrist support from the keyboard.
