Abstract
Improved structure for high resolution mouse is equipped with a frictional sleeve on each one of a pair of transmission shafts with transmission wheel circumferential length multiple of that of corresponding frictional sleeves so as to increase rotational ratio and facilitate an associated pair of infrared detectors able to detect bright/dark intermitten variation of light imput more distinctly and reliably from a pair of light shading wheels in a given time duration and send out corresponding high resolution (DPT) signals.
Claims4
A high resolution mouse structure comprising:
- a spherical castor;
- a first transmission wheel unit including a transmission wheel whose rotating shaft being equipped with a first frictional sleeve at a proper position thereof, a light shading wheel whose rotating shaft being equipped with a second frictional sleeve at a proper position hereof;
- a second transmission wheel unit including a transmission wheel whose rotating shaft being equipped with a first frictional sleeve at a proper position thereof, and a light shading wheel whose rotating shaft being equipped with a second frictional sleeve at a proper position thereof;
- several supporting posts for sustaining said first and said second transmission wheel units;
- and
- two infrared sensors;
- with the above structure said spherical castor is in contact with said first frictional sleeves of said first and said second transmission wheel units, the transmission wheel of said first transmission wheel unit is in contact with said second frictional sleeve of said first transmission wheel unit, and the transmission wheel of said second transmission wheel unit is in contact with said second frictional sleeve of said second transmission wheel unit, each of said two infrared sensor are respectively disposed adjacent each of said two light shading wheels belonging to said first and said second transmission wheel units respectively for detecting bright/dark change of light and delivering corresponding DPI signals.
