Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for controlling the movement of the computer screen pointer as well as actions usually generated by the triggering of left and right clicks of traditional mice. These actions are usually performed using a mouse. located next to the keyboard and require the movement of the fingers towards the latter, requiring each time an effort from the wrist as well as the arm and the shoulder, hence the long-term appearance of rheumatism in some users. These repetitive movements also sometimes require looking away to catch the mouse and end up producing a deconcentration of the mind without counting the time lost on a job if we add the times necessary for these round trips.
- the device according to the invention overcomes these drawbacks. It consists, according to a first characteristic, of a flexible plastic module comprising two open rings to be inserted on the index and middle fingers and of a module of the flat case type surmounting the first module and comprising the electronic part of the system.
- the rings each have, under their lower parts, an electrical switch of the push button type which can be actuated by pressing the lower part of the second knuckles when the fingers are bent.
- These push buttons act as left click and right click.
- the second module comprises on the side a device of the ball or touch plate type or other system intended for moving the pointer and actuated by the thumb.
- It also includes the electronic part, namely the printed circuit and components necessary to transmit the electrical signals to the computer either by cable or by radio or infrared emission.
- the user has definitively the use of the commands under and on the knuckles while having total freedom of his hand and his fingers.
- FIG. 2 shows the device of the invention positioned on the hand seen from above.
- FIG. 3 shows the device of the invention on the palm side.
- Figure 4 shows the device of the invention seen from the side.
- FIG. 5 represents a variant of the device of the invention positioned on the hand seen from above.
- the device comprises a first flexible plastic module (1) forming two open rings connected by their upper parts. The module is locked on the phalanxes thanks to a locking tab (2) resting on the interstice of the fingers.
- the rings (3) are provided under their lower parts with contactor push buttons (4). They are positioned so that the pressure button is visible in relation to the edge of the ring.
- the device comprises a second module of the flat box type (9) containing the electronic components intended for translating and transmitting the electrical signals to the computer.
- One of its sides (10) comprises the device for controlling the movement of the ball pointer (11), touchscreen or other system.
- the pointer movement device is attached to the thumb side of the index finger ring of the first module and the module 2 attached by a bracelet to the wrist, the two modules then being connected between them by an electric cable (12).
- the module 2 could offer a possibility of rotation of 90 ° on its axis to allow ambidextrous use of the device.
- the module 1 is articulated in 3 parts: a base and two rings.
- module 2 can adopt any geometric or free shape, including shapes of a commercial nature.
- the device according to the invention is particularly intended for any user of computer programs.
