Computer mouse having variable size

Abstract

A computer mouse includes a mouse body of a generally known configuration and construction and a size-changing means attached to the mouse body for selectively changing the overall size of the computer mouse. The size-changing means may be a jacket made of a flexible material having a predetermined thickness and fit over the mouse body. Alternatively, a hermetic bag is formed with the jacket and has a nozzle for filling air into the bag to selectively inflate the bag so as to change the overall size of the mouse. Alternatively, the size-changing means includes a number of inflatable members mounted to the mouse body. The inflatable members are selectively inflated/deflated to change the overall size of the computer mouse. A cover can be attached to the inflatable members whereby the inflation of the inflatable members moves the cover away from the mouse body and thus increasing the overall size. Deflation of the inflatable members moves the cover toward the mouse body and thus decreasing the overall size.
