Separable and shape-changeable mouse
View Patent ↗A separable and shape-changeable mouse includes a first housing, a second housing, a first connecting member and a second connecting member. The first housing includes a cursor signal generation unit, a first slant and a first connecting member. The second housing includes a receptacle for accommodating a battery therein, a second slant and a second connecting member. The first housing is combined with the second housing when the first connecting member is coupled with the second connecting member. By rotating the second housing with respect to the first housing, the shape of the mouse is changeable.
1. A separable and shape-changeable mouse comprising:
a first housing including a cursor signal generation unit and a first electrical contact, wherein said first housing has a first front part and a first rear part, and said first rear part includes a first slant;
a second housing having a receptacle for accommodating a battery therein and including a second electrical contact, wherein said second housing is separable from said first housing and has a second front part and a second rear part, and said second rear part includes a second slant; and
a first connecting member and a second connecting member arranged on said first slant and said second slant, respectively, wherein said first housing is combined with said second housing when said first connecting member is coupled with said second connecting member, wherein said first connecting member includes two metallic portions on bilateral edges of said first slant and an indentation between said two metallic portions, and said second connecting member includes two magnets on bilateral edges of said second slant and a retaining post corresponding to said indentation.
2. A separable and shape-changeable mouse comprising:
