Description
PROTECTIVE COVER FOR A COMPUTER MOUSE
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a computer mouse accessory. More specifically, the present invention relates to a protective and decorative cover for a computer mouse.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
With the prevalence of computers in all aspects of daily life, the conditions in which computers are put to use are often less than ideal. Computers are found in offices, hospitals, operating rooms, construction sites, and in the rooms of children.
Some of the environments are more conducive to computing, while other may be more hostile.
One of the most used devices is the computer mouse. If it falls prey to one of the evils of these environments--dust, dirt, blood, coffee, paint, or even a popsicle--a computer user may be left virtually helpless until the mouse is operational again.
Most operations, today, use a computer mouse device for pointing to various items on a computer, rather than typing a set of commands. For this reason, the computer mouse is indispensable. Many computer users have either forgotten or never learned how to use a computer without a mouse. This is complicated by the fact that much software is developed for specific use with a mouse. A device for protecting the outer surfaces and buttons of a mouse is therefore needed. In some situations, such as hospital settings, it may even serve the user to have a removable cover to avoid passing contaminants from user to user via the mouse.
Previous devices have been the subject of patents, but are drawn to more whimsical objectives. U.S. Pat. No. 5,245,146, which issued to Florence on Sep. 14, 1993 discloses a protective cover for a computer mouse having pivotal levers with projections for engaging the pushbuttons. The cover is depicted in the shape of a car.
U.S. Pat. No.
Design 291,203, which issued to Silver on Aug. 4, 1987 discloses a mouse cover in the shape of a mouse. These patents do not disclose a tight fitting cover that preserves the ergonomic shape of the mouse body, as does the present invention.
Other patents disclose modifications to a computer mouse. U.S. Pat. No. Design 372,906, which issued to Kawauchi, et al. on Aug. 20, 1996, discloses an adjustable mouse, which apparently supports a wrist at various angles. UK Patent Application 2,266,759 A, published Nov. 10,1993, discloses a computer mouse carrying advertising or decoration in which the advertising is carried below a clear plastic window on the body of the mouse.
Still other patents disclose new mouse designs. U.S. Pat. No. Design 370,219, which issued to Blumer et al. on May 28, 1996, discloses a Mickey Mouse shaped computer mouse. U.S. Pat. No. Design 381,015 issued on Jul. 15, 1997 to R. Q. Morrison et al.
describes an ornamental design for a computer mouse cover. U.S. Pat. No.
5,576,733, which issued to Lo on Nov. 19, 1996, discloses an ergonomic computer mouse which is used in an upright position. U.S. Pat. No. 5,570,112, which issued to Robinson on Oct. 29, 1996, discloses an ergonomic computer mouse having a soft foam rubber surface for supporting the palm and wrist.
Other patents such as U.S. Pat. No. Design 372,907, which issued to Samborsky on Aug. 20, 1996, disclose protective covers for computer keyboards or monitors, without mention of protection for the mouse.
Despite previous efforts, there is still a need for a simple, easy to use, replaceable, protective cover for a mouse. Additionally, such mouse would be beneficial if provided with decorative indicia or surface texture for tactile enhancement or both.
None of the above inventions and patents, taken either singly or in combination, is seen to describe the instant invention as claimed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
Referring now to the figures by numerals of reference, a protective cover 10 for a computer mouse 90 is shown. The cover 10 may be made of various sizes and shapes to complement any of a variety of mouse shapes, sizes, and designs. In any case, the cover 10 is constructed of a thin, flexible, elastic material, such as, but not limited to, plastic or rubber. A preferred material is latex or silicone rubber. The cover 10 has smaller dimensions than the mouse 90 that is intended to be covered. This is to allow the cover 10 to be stretched tautly across the mouse 90.
The cover 10 has a cupped shaped for engaging the sides of the mouse 90 and to be form-fitting to the form of the mouse. One end of the cover 10 may be affixed to the mouse 90 and the other rolled and stretched across the mouse 90. The elastic nature of the material used in the cover 10 insures a tight fit, and insures the shape-hugging feature of the invention. It is important to note that the edges 20 of the cover 10 engage the sides of the mouse 90, and do not reach any part of the underside of the mouse 90, where they might hinder movement of the mouse 90. The tight fit and shape hugging nature of the mouse cover 10 as well as its flexible nature allow for activation of the mouse buttons) 92 through the cover 10.
The cover 10 may be provided with various textures for greater tactile appeal and aesthetic charm.

The cover 10 may be provided with various textures for greater tactile appeal and aesthetic charm. The material used to construct the cover 10 may come in any of a variety of colors, or even be transparent. Similarly, the cover 10 may be imprinted with various indicia 30 such as logos or other graphics.
5 The cover 10 acts like a protective skin over the body of the mouse 90. An advantage to the cover 10 is that it may be removed to reveal an unsoiled mouse and thus act as an anti-microbial agent. The cover 10 may be reusable or disposable depending upon its application. If reusable, the cover 10 may be washed and reinstalled on the mouse 90. Alternatively, the exterior surface of the cover 10 is impregnated, coated or otherwise treated with an anti-microbial substance, which repeatedly protects the mouse 90 from some of the most hostile environments. These features may be particularly useful in industrial, medical, and food service applications.
The cover 10 may also be used as a novelty item, changing covers depending on the season, or upcoming holiday, etc. Some decorative indicia 30 or logos that may be used include sports team logos or company logos. Humorous or decorative indicia may also be used to capture other markets.
The protective cover of the present invention conforms to the contour of the computer mouse, therefore, the protective cover can be readily used with an ergonomic mouse or a specially configured mouse without the loss of mouse topography. When covering a mouse, especially an ergonomic mouse, it is essential that the contour of the mouse not be distorted by the cover because any loss in tactile perception impairs the proper operation of the mouse by the user. Thus, the snugly fitting protective cover of the present invention mimics the shape of the computer mouse thereby ensuring proper tactile perception by the user.
It should be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications and adaptations to the present invention as well as alternative embodiments of the present invention may be contemplated. The preferred embodiments of the present invention disclosed herein are intended to be illustrative only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but encompasses any and all embodiments within the scope of the following claims.
