Abstract

An improved mouse scroll device installs a scroll sensing plate integrally coupled and neatly aligned with the main body of a mouse for providing an appropriate position to operate the mouse easily, and the scroll sensing plate is coupled to a microprocessor. After the neatly arranged scroll sensing plate is touched or slid back and forth by fingers or the scroll sensing plate is clicked for several times, a signal is transmitted from the microprocessor to a computer system through a universal serial bus (USB) port or a radio set to control the scroll page function on a screen of a display device or the middle button function to facilitate the operation and provides a protrusion-free artistic look effect as well as reducing the number of components and lowering the cost.

Claims

1. An improved mouse scroll device, improving a roller of a middle button without changing a left button and a right button of a mouse, characterized in that:

a neatly aligned scroll sensing plate, being disposed at a position selected from the collection of a left side, a right side, and between the left and right buttons of said mouse for selectively touching and sliding said mouse back and forth by a user'"'"'s fingers;

a control device, being coupled to an input end of a scroll controller, and an output end of said scroll controller being coupled to an input end of a microprocessor, and an output end of said microprocessor being coupled to an input a transmission set, such that an output end of said USB port or a radio set being coupled to a computer system, while a mouse optical sensor being coupled to another input end of said microprocessor;

thereby if a user touches said scroll sensing plate by fingers and selectively touches and slides said mouse back and forth to send a sensed signal to said microprocessor through said scroll sensor for determination, and then output a control signal to said computer system through said transmission set for controlling a scroll of the screen of a display device, and said scroll sensing plate being touched directly by fingers for a plurality of times to output a control signal from said microprocessor to produce a middle button function as to facilitate the operation of said mouse and provide a quick assembling of said mouse in order to reduce the quantity of components and lower costs.

2. The improved mouse scroll device of claim 1, wherein said scroll sensing plate is integrally coupled with said mouse and disposed on the same plane with the surface of a housing of said mouse.

3. The improved mouse scroll device of claim 1, wherein said scroll sensing plate is selectively disposed on the left side, the right side and between the left and right buttons of said mouse according to a user'"'"'s requirement for providing an easy operation selectively touched and slid by a left and, a right hand, and a middle finger.

4. The improved mouse scroll device of claim 1, wherein said the transmission set is applied by an universal serial (USB) port or a radio set.
