Referring to Fig. 6, the first conical rotating plate 12 which rotates in the x direction on the y axis line is located at the center of the mouse ball 1, and the second conical rotating plate 22 which rotates in the y direction on the x axis line is Located. In addition, the third conical rotating plate 42 connected to the third rotating shaft 40 is located at an intermediate point between the x axis and the y axis, thereby enabling bidirectional rotation.
[39] 7A and 7B are respectively a front view and a side view of a pen-type ball mouse according to the present invention, wherein a driving unit is located inside the pen-shaped housing 50, and each rotation shaft of the driving unit is a lower fixing plate 51 and an intermediate fixing plate. Each position is fixed by the upper fixing plate 53. The middle fixing plate 52 and the upper fixing plate 53 are connected to the spring 54 to push the respective rotating shafts of the driving unit in the direction of the mouse ball 1 so that the first, second and third conical rotating plates 12, 22, The mouse ball 1 can be brought into close contact with the mouse ball 1 and the buffering action of the spring 54 is applied to the vertical pressure generated when the user presses the mouse ball 1 as if using a normal pen. Rotation is possible even when inserted into the housing 50. The second driven rotary shaft 30 moves up and down of the first rotary shaft 10, and the drive shaft gear 21 and the driven shaft gear 31 move up and down of the second driven rotary shaft 30. In order to be engaged with each other irrespective of the height of the driven shaft gear 31 so that the two gears are always engaged when moving between the lower fixing plate 51 and the middle fixing plate 52. And, the PCB substrate 60, the optical sensor 62 for detecting the rotation of the slit is positioned at a certain interval, the push switch 61 corresponding to the mouse button is located at a predetermined interval. The push switch 61 is connected to the outside of the housing 50 to be pressed.
[40] Of course, it will be possible to position the electronic components necessary for the control of the mouse in the remaining portion of the PCB substrate 60.
