Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] <Industrial field of application> The present invention relates to a keyboard table used in a device for moving a cursor displayed on a CRT using a mouse and inputting data with a landscape keyboard. It is a thing.

<Prior Art> Computer desks that move the cursor position using a mouse are widely used. In such a device, a keyboard table is provided with a mouse table for operating a mouse. FIG. 5 shows a conventional keyboard table.

In the figure, when the mouse (not shown) is not used, the mouse table 20 is bent. Mouse table 20,
It is connected to one side (usually the right side) of the keyboard table 21 by, for example, a snail, and should be flush with the keyboard table 21 when used.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> In the conventional keyboard table as described above, the mouse table is provided only on one side.
If there is an obstacle such as a wall on the side where 20 is provided, there is a problem that the mouse table cannot be used. Further, for example, if a mouse table is provided on the right side, it is difficult for a left-handed person to operate the mouse. Further, there is a problem that the conventional keyboard table does not have a storage place for the mouse.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a keyboard table that can be unfolded on either side of the keyboard table and has a mouse storage space.

<Means for Solving the Problems> In order to solve the above problems, the present invention uses a mouse to move a cursor displayed on a CRT,
In a device for inputting data with a horizontally long keyboard, a keyboard base (1a, 1b) that supports the upper side and the lower side of the keyboard, and a bottom surface of the keyboard that is not supported between the upper side and the lower side. Mechanisms that are placed facing each other and that can be slid in two at the center, left and right (3a, 3b, 4,
The mouse table (2) with 5) and a means consisting of.

<Operation> The mouse table, which constitutes the upper surface of the keyboard table, can be divided into two parts at the central part and can be slid to the left and right, and the mouse can be operated at the extended part. Since the slide can be on either the left or the right, the problems of the conventional means can be solved. There is also a mouse storage space inside the keyboard table.

<Example> Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a configuration example of a main part of a keyboard table according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the keyboard table according to the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a usage state of the keyboard table according to the present invention. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of a keyboard table according to the present invention.

The outline of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. As shown in FIG. 4, the keyboard table of the present application includes two mouse tables 2a and 2b and keyboard bases 1a and 1b. The two mouse tables have a mechanism that can slide left and right.

FIG. 3 (1) shows a state in which the two mouse tables are closed, and the mouse 11 can be stored in the keyboard table as shown by the dotted line.

Then, as shown in FIG. 3 (2), with the keyboard 15 left on the keyboard table, the mouse tables 2a, 2
b can be pulled out to the left and right independently. The mouse 11 is operated with this pulled out portion.

FIG. 1 shows the internal structure of the right side of the keyboard table, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. In FIGS. 1 and 2, 1a and 1b are keyboard bases.
The upper side of the horizontally long keyboard 15 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is supported by the keyboard base 1b, and the lower side is supported by the keyboard base 1a (see FIG. 2). The keyboard base 1b is provided with a wiring groove 9 so that the cord of the mouse 11 can be dropped and passed. A table bottom 1c is provided between the two keyboard bases 1a and 1b. The table bottom 1c is provided with an elongated guide hole 10 parallel to the keyboard bases 1a and 1b (see FIGS. 1, 2, and 4). Further, guide blocks 3a and 3b are firstly provided on the upper surface side of the table bottom 1c.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 2, it is provided in parallel with the keyboard bases 1a and 1b. Further, on the lower surface side of the table bottom 1c, there is provided a latch fastener 8 which meshes with a member 7 attached to a mouse table described later.

A stud 4, a spacer 5, a bracket 6, and a member 7 are attached to the mouse table 2a, and the guide block 3
The mouse table 2a can be slid along a and 3b. In addition, the stud 4 is fixed to the back side of the mouse table 2a by spot welding or the like as shown in FIG. The stud 4 has such a position and a length as to pass through a guide hole 10 provided in the table bottom 1c. A screw hole is provided on the lower surface side of the stud 4, and a bracket 6 is fixed to the lower surface side of the table bottom 1c with a spacer 5 sandwiching the spacer 5 as shown in FIG. The spacer 5 is made of, for example, Delrin, and serves to reduce the coefficient of friction with the table bottom 1c and to prevent the mouse table 2a from floating.

Further, the stud 4 and the guide hole 10 function as a drawer stopper for the mouse table 2a.

A member 7 is attached to the bracket 6, which engages with the latch fastener 8 when the mouse table 2a is pushed in,
Lock the position of the mouse table 2a with an appropriate force.

With such a structure, the mouse 11 can be stored in the keyboard table as shown in FIG.

With this structure, the mouse tables 2a and 2b can be slid by the guide blocks 3a and 3b, the stud 4, the guide hole 10 and the spacer 5 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the mouse table can be pulled out to either the left or right side of the keyboard table.

In the above description, the guide block 3a, 3b, the stud 4, and the guide hole 10 are provided as a mechanism for sliding the mouse table.
The example using the spacer 5 has been described above, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, according to the invention, the following effects can be obtained.

Since both the left and right mouse tables can be pulled out, the degree of freedom in arranging the keyboard table is wide.

Both left-handed people and right-handed people can operate the mouse using their right-handed arm.

We can store mouse appropriately.
