DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
FIG. 1 shows the pictorial drawing of the assembly of the structure of a computer mouse; as indicated, the inventor has designed many through holes (13) on a conventional computer mouse (1) to facilitate convex points (14) on a conduction tab to penetrate an outer case for a user to touch; furthermore, a control key (10) is designed to dispose on the left side of the computer mouse (1) for adjusting the strength of the electric current.
FIG. 2 shows the pictorial and exploded drawing of the structure of a computer mouse device (1) of the present invention; the present invention comprises an upper cover plate (2), a lower cover plate (3), a circuit board (4), five conduction tabs (5, 6, 7, 8, 9), a rolling ball (11) and a gear shaft (12), wherein the circuit board (4), as shown in FIG. 4 of the schematic drawing of the circuit of the structure of a computer mouse device (1) of the present invention, comprises an oscillation circuit, a power amplification circuit, a control circuit, an output circuit and a connector (16). The host computer end transmits the power to the oscillation circuit inside the computer mouse device (1) via an electric connector interface to generate the electric current of opposite phase; then the amplification circuit amplifies the little electric current to an acceptable big electric current which is then adjusted by the user to an electric current with a proper strength through the electric current control circuit; finally, the output circuit sends the electric current onto the conduction tabs (5, 6, 7, 8, 9) or the connector (16) sends it onto an externally connected conduction tab (17).
The upper cover plate (2) comprises a left key (2-1), a middle key (2-2), a right key (2-3) and a plurality of through holes (13); the screw hole post (15) on the lower cover plate (3) inserts into the through hole (18) to connect with the lower cover plate (3) into one unit; wherein the convex points (18) on the conduction tab (5, 6, 7, 8, 9) penetrate through the outer case to become touch points; the rolling ball (11) and the gear shaft (12) are the basic structures of a computer mouse device (1) and disposed on the lower cover plate (3) for moving the computer mouse device (1) and calculating the displacement.
FIG. 3 shows the lateral and cross-sectional drawing of the structure of a computer mouse device (1) of the present invention; the convex points (14) are designed to dispose on the front and the rear portions of the computer mouse device (1) as suitable portions for the user's hand to touch.
