Control device for a computer mouse. In order to enhance comfort as much as possible and to avoid or even cure RSI phenomena, a control device is proposed with a curved finger- supporting element and thumb-supporting element with varying curvatures. Optimum support for the hand and fingers (thumb) is obtained if there is a certain correlation between the length over which the hand, including the fingers, is supported and the width available for supporting the fingers. This value is preferably in the range 0.3-0.6 and more specifically is 0.45. Furthermore, the curvature and height of the finger- supporting element and thumb-supporting element must be implemented such that they are a function of the length of the control device. According to a particular embodiment the finger-supporting element is implemented such that, when viewed transversely, this descends from the highest point in a circle.
L'invention concerne un dispositif de commande destiné à une souris d'ordinateur. Pour améliorer au maximum le confort d'utilisation et pour prévenir, voire traiter, des lésions dues aux mouvements répétitifs (LMR), on utilise un dispositif de commande pourvu d'un élément de support de doigts et d'un élément de support de pouce présentant des courbures variables. On obtient un support optimal pour la main et les doigts (pouce) lorsqu'il existe une certaine corrélation entre la longueur sur laquelle la main, y compris les doigts, est supportée et la largeur disponible pour supporter les doigts. Cette valeur est de préférence comprise entre 0,3 et 0,6 et vaut notamment 0,45. En outre, la courbure et la hauteur de l'élément de support de doigts et de l'élément de support de pouce doivent dépendre de la longueur du dispositif de commande. Selon un mode de réalisation particulier, l'élément de support de doigts est conçu de façon que, vu transversalement, il descende à partir du point le plus haut dans un cercle.
