BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates generally to a mouse, and more particularly to an innovative mouse with an air levitation sliding device.

2. Description of Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR 1.97 and 37 CFR 1.98

With the development of science and technology, the use of computer devices has become a common phenomenon in work. With the update of computers, the mouse of its accessory device has also been evolved with the development of science and technology. The existing mouse includes the wired and wireless types, and the mouse is usually placed to the slide on the computer desktop or on the mouse pad.

During the working process of the mouse, the bottom surface will rub against the surface of a fixed plane object (such as the surface of the desktop or mouse pad), and the user's hand operating the mouse needs to use the wrist as a fulcrum to control the mouse movement, so in the process, the mouse movement is usually difficult to avoid the effects of friction, which reduces the sensitivity and accuracy of the mouse's displacement action. Moreover, long-term operation can cause the user's wrist joints to feel numbness and pain, and even more serious carpal tunnel syndrome.

Based on the above problems, there is current development of a wireless magnetic levitation mouse, which usually includes a pedestal and a magnetic levitation mouse, and uses the principle of magnetic levitation technology to levitate the mouse a few centimeters above the pedestal, thereby eliminating friction of the mouse during the process of use.

However, the conventional magnetic levitation mouse structure type has found that there are still some problems in practical use experience, for example, since the magnetic levitation mouse structure includes a pedestal and a magnetic levitation mouse, the industry must remanufacture the pedestal member other than the mouse, this will inevitably lead to a problem that the component is complicated and the manufacturing cost is greatly increased. Moreover, from the perspective of the user, the pedestal and the magnetic levitation mouse are matched, and both must be combined to perform the mouse levitation function, thereby causing limitations in the use of the mouse, if the mouse is placed on the general desktop or other mouse pad, the effect cannot be played, there are some inconveniences.

Based on said purpose, the present invention provides a mouse with an air levitation sliding device, comprising: a mouse body with a top surface, a bottom surface and an internal chamber, wherein the top surface is provided with plural control part, and the bottom surface is provided with a sensing part, and a signal line extends from one side of the mouse body, and an end part thereof has an electrical connection terminal; the air levitation sliding device comprises an air supply source, an air supply pipeline and one or more air injection channels, wherein the air injection channel is disposed on the bottom surface of the mouse body, and the air supply source is disposed outside the mouse body, and the air supply source generates the air pressure, so that the two opposite ends of the air pipeline are respectively connected to the air supply source and the air injection channel; thereby, when the air supply source generates the air pressure, the air pressure is transmitted to the air injection channel through the air pipeline to eject out from the bottom surface of the mouse body, thereby enabling the mouse in the air levitation sliding use status.

By using the innovative unique structural type and technical features, the present invention can provide a mouse with air levitation sliding use function to eliminate the friction during the use of the mouse, thereby improving the sensitivity and accuracy of the displacement action of the mouse, and reducing the pressure on the wrist of the user, with more comfortable advantages.
