Ergonomic Computer Mouse

US Patent:
6362811, Mar 26, 2002
Filed:
Aug 7, 1996
Appl. No.:
08/689385
Inventors:
George Neil Edwards - San Jose CA 95129
Stephen Lee Lippert - San Jose CA 95125
International Classification:
G09G 508
US Classification:
345163, 2481181, D14114
Abstract:
This invention relates to an improved form of computer mouse. In particular, the physical form of this mouse is designed such that the hand position required to manipulate the mouse is a natural “resting” or neutral position. This position will allow the mouse to be used for long periods of time while minimizing pain and disability in the hand and wrist. The hand is inclined to the horizontal plane typically at an angle of at least 50 degrees. The fingers are flexed, the thumb and index finger are opposed and in close proximity. The wrist is not pulled backwards nor drooped, nor is it angled to one side or the other. There is no deviated wrist movement. Wrist movement is in the natural plane of the wrist.
