Abstract

A computer mouse for electronic therapy includes at least a computer mouse main body disposed with a metal conduction tab, an oscillation circuit, an amplification circuit, an electric current control circuit, an electric connector and a connector; via the oscillation circuit, the amplification circuit and the electric current control circuit, the electric connector obtains power from a host computer end and generates a strong pulse of electric current to transmit to the conduction tab for stimulating an acupuncture point on a user'"'"'s hand portion; another connector disposed on the main body joins with an externally connected conduction tab for stimulating the acupuncture points on other parts of the body so as to improve the user'"'"'s health and work efficiency.

Claims

1. A computer mouse for electronic therapy comprises a computer mouse main body disposed with a metal conduction tab, an external conduction tab, an oscillation circuit, an amplification circuit and an electric current control circuit;

via the oscillation circuit, the amplification circuit and the electric current control circuit, the computer mouse for electronic therapy obtains power from a host computer end through an electric connector to generate a strong pulse of electric current to transmit to the conduction tab for stimulating an acupuncture point on a hand portion by applying the Chinese ancient principles of acupuncture;

furthermore, through the function of the connector, the user utilizes the external conduction tab to stimulate the points of acupuncture on the whole body;

wherein, the conduction tab is situated at the lower aspect of an upper cover plate, convex points of the conduction tab penetrate through holes on the upper cover plate to become the touch points for massaging the points of acupuncture;

a screw hole post joins the upper cover plate and a lower cover plate into one unit to become the main body of the computer mouse device;

the external conduction tab obtains power through the connector to stimulate the other points of acupuncture on the other parts of the body.

2. The computer mouse for electronic therapy according to claim 1, wherein via an electronic connector interface, the computer mouse device directly obtains power from the host computer end;

the electric connector is a Universal Series Bus (USB) connector.

3. The computer mouse for electronic therapy according to claim 1, wherein at least one conduction tab is disposed therein and provided for a user to touch the penetrated convex points.

4. The computer mouse for electronic therapy according to claim 1, wherein at least one circuit board is included for converting the direct electric current into an adjustable electric current pulse.

5. The computer mouse for electronic therapy according to claim 1, wherein the computer mouse device is designed to have at least one connector for engaging with the external conduction tab.

6. The computer mouse for electronic therapy according to claim 1, wherein the external conduction tab has at least one conduction tab.
