Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mouse, and in particular to an assembly structure of a mouse and a mouse. Background Art

[0002] The assembly structure of an existing mouse includes a bottom shell, an upper shell and a button panel which are connected in sequence from bottom to top. The upper shell includes a top wall located on its upper side and two side walls located on both sides of its width. The lower edge of the side wall is connected to the outer edge of the bottom shell. An installation space located inside the mouse is formed between the bottom shell and the upper shell. The mouse also includes a button switch module arranged in the installation space. Two button panels corresponding to the left and right buttons are movably connected to the left and right sides of the front of the top wall respectively. The bottom of the button panels has a collision part of a micro-touch switch that extends into the installation space and can touch the button switch module.

[0003] Some other existing mice have been improved on the basis of the above-mentioned assembly structure, but the improvement has affected the performance of the mouse. For example, in order to meet the wireless use requirements of the mouse, some wireless mice are equipped with a receiver and need to place batteries. The upper side of the upper shell is provided with a receiver storage slot and a battery compartment, and the two button panels corresponding to the left and right buttons are assembled into an integral detachable cover. The cover and the main body are magnetically matched to achieve an easy-to-disassemble effect. This setting limits the independent adjustability of the left and right buttons. For another example, some mice have an anti-slip rubber layer attached to the outer surface of the side wall to meet the anti-slip requirements. This setting affects the weight and center of gravity of the product, and affects the feel of the mouse.

[0004] It can be seen that each surface part of the mouse has its own functional requirements, and the existing mouse assembly structure cannot meet the performance requirements of each part without affecting the performance of other parts or without affecting the overall performance of the mouse. Summary of the invention

[0005] The first object of the present invention is to provide an assembly structure of a mouse that satisfies the performance requirements of each part without affecting the performance of other parts of the mouse and without affecting the overall performance of the mouse.

[0006] The second object of the present invention is to provide a mouse using the above-mentioned assembly structure.

[0007] The multi-panel assembly structure of the mouse provided by the first purpose of the present invention includes a shell and a panel group, the shell includes a top wall located on the upper side of the shell and a side wall located on the side of the shell in the width direction of the shell, in the length direction of the mouse, the mouse includes a front and a rear portion relatively arranged, the panel group includes a button panel, the button panel is connected to the top wall, the button panel includes a movable part, and the movable part is located at the front; the panel group also includes a side panel and a rear cover; the side panel is connected to the side wall and the side panel is located on the outside of the side wall; the rear cover is detachably connected to the top wall and is located at the rear.

[0008] As can be seen from the above scheme, the present invention sets the panels located at the upper front part, the upper rear part, and the two sides in the width direction of the mouse separately and independently, and the materials of each panel can be selected according to the different performance requirements of each area. For example, the key panel can use a material with better elastic deformation ability, the side panel can use a material with better strength and a larger surface friction coefficient, and the rear cover is formed of a light-transmitting material, etc., wherein the rear cover set at the rear of the mouse is set to be detachable to meet the storage and placement requirements of the receiver; in addition, each panel covers a larger part of the surface of the mouse, and most of the shell is blocked by multiple panels. Under this setting mode, the shell can be set as a lightweight porous structure without affecting the appearance to reduce the impact of setting multiple panels on the weight of the mouse. Therefore, the multi-panel assembly structure of the present invention mainly uses multiple independent panels to cover a larger part of the outer surface of the shell. The performance of each part of the mouse is formed by the material and surface characteristics of each panel, and each panel is independent and will not affect each other, and will not affect the weight and center of gravity of the mouse and will not affect the feel of the mouse.

[0009] A further solution is that the button panel also includes an extended rear section; the extended rear section is connected to the top wall, the extended rear section is located at the rear, and in the width direction of the mouse, the extended rear section is located on one side of the rear cover.

[0010] A further solution is that in the width direction of the mouse, the mouse includes a relative left and right side, the movable part and the extended rear section one is close to the left side, and the other of the movable part and the extended rear section is close to the right side; the button panel also includes an obliquely extending middle section, and the movable part, the obliquely extending middle section and the extended rear section are bent and connected in sequence.

[0011] As can be seen from the above, due to the consideration of the non-left-right symmetrical design of the mouse, specifically, some mice are provided with a left button on the left side and no button on the right side, and the setting of the relevant switch circuit module of the left button affects the arrangement of the internal structure of the mouse. Preferably, the internal structures such as the receiver storage slot and the light-emitting component are arranged on the right side, and correspondingly, the rear cover plate used to shield the receiver storage slot and the light-emitting component is arranged on the right side. In order to further ensure the coverage of the shell surface by multiple panels, the present invention uses the mouse button panel to extend the extended rear section and reach the adjacent part of the rear cover plate, that is, the left side of the rear part of the mouse, and also uses the extended middle section to cover the middle position of the upper side of the mouse. In addition, the continuous curved button panel formed under this setting can also optimize the appearance design of the mouse.

[0012] A further solution is that the shell is configured as a porous structure, a first weight reduction hole is provided on the top wall, the button panel and / or the back cover plate blocks the first weight reduction hole, and / or a second weight reduction hole is provided on the side wall, the side panel blocks the second weight reduction hole.

[0013] As can be seen from the above, setting the shell to a lightweight porous structure without affecting the appearance can effectively reduce the impact of setting up multiple panels on the weight of the mouse.

[0014] A further solution is to include at least one of the following: a first snap-fit ​​hole is provided on the top wall, a first buckle is provided on the key panel and / or the back cover, and the first buckle cooperates with the first snap-fit ​​hole; a first positioning hole is provided on the top wall, a first positioning column is provided on the key panel and / or the back cover, and the first positioning column is inserted into the first positioning hole; a second snap-fit ​​hole is provided on the side wall, a second buckle is provided on the side panel, and the second buckle cooperates with the second snap-fit ​​hole; a second positioning hole is provided on the side wall, a second positioning column is provided on the side panel, and the second positioning column is inserted into the second positioning hole.

[0015] It can be seen from the above that since the mouse will be dragged and clicked by the user when in use, the side panel is the main force point when dragging the mouse, and the button panel is the main force point when clicking the mouse, and the direction of the force is not fixed and forces the panel and the shell to tend to move relative to each other. Therefore, the cooperation between the buckle and the buckle hole can strengthen the connection between the panel and the shell, and the cooperation between the positioning column and the positioning hole not only plays a pre-positioning role, but also can effectively absorb the forces in all directions, avoiding the thinner elastic buckle from becoming the main force point and breaking and failing, causing the connection between the panel and the shell to fail.

[0016] A further solution is that an installation window is provided on the top wall, and the multi-panel assembly structure further includes a light-transmitting cover installed at the installation window, and the rear cover plate blocks the light-transmitting cover.

[0017] It can be seen from the above that when a detachable rear cover is used as a light-transmitting member, if the LED chip is facing the rear cover, the strong light from the LED chip will directly illuminate the human eyes and cause damage after the rear cover is removed. Therefore, the present invention provides a second layer of light-transmitting cover outside the rear cover, which can not only weaken the intensity of the emitted light of the LED chip, but also provide a light-transmitting pattern area on the light-transmitting cover to enhance the light effect beauty of the mouse.

[0018] A further solution is that the multi-panel assembly structure also includes a light-emitting device and a shading component; the shading component includes a shading peripheral wall, the shading peripheral wall surrounds a light channel, and the opposite ends of the shading peripheral wall respectively form an entrance and an exit of the light channel; the shading component is arranged between the light-emitting device and the light-transmitting component, the light-emitting device is located at the entrance, and the exit is opposite to the light-transmitting cover.

[0019] As can be seen from the above, there is a certain interval between the LED chip and the light-transmitting cover, and the interval is connected to various places inside the mouse. In addition to reaching the light-transmitting cover, the emitted light of the LED chip will also reach various places inside the mouse through the above interval and leak out from the connecting gaps of the outer shell component. Since the light-shielding peripheral wall blocks the unfavorable light path from the outer periphery of the light channel to the inside of the mouse and to the various connecting gaps, the light can only be emitted from the outlet of the light-shielding peripheral wall and enter the target light-transmitting area corresponding to the outlet on the light-transmitting component. Therefore, this setting effectively solves the problem of light leakage from the product gap, and also solves the problem of light transmission in non-main light-transmitting areas, thereby improving the visual effect of the product's lighting effect.

[0020] A further solution is that a receiver storage slot is provided on the shell, and the rear cover covers the receiver storage slot; the receiver storage slot and the light-emitting device are arranged in sequence along the height direction of the mouse, or the receiver storage slot and the light-emitting device are arranged in sequence in the opposite direction of the height direction of the mouse.

[0021] As can be seen from the above, the receiver storage slot and the light-emitting device are arranged in the height direction so that a larger internal space is formed in front of the receiver storage slot and the light-emitting device, thereby improving the utilization rate of the internal space of the mouse and also improving the freedom of arrangement of the internal structure of the mouse.

[0022] A further solution is that the multi-panel assembly structure also includes a battery mounting rack, which is arranged in the shell; the center of gravity of the battery mounting rack is located at the rear, and / or, in the projection of the height direction of the mouse, the length direction of the battery mounting rack is inclined to the width direction of the mouse.

[0023] As can be seen from the above, when the mouse is equipped with a rechargeable built-in battery and does not need to be removed and replaced, the battery mounting bracket is set closer to the rear of the mouse. This setting makes the center of gravity of the mouse biased to the rear. When the user manipulates the mouse, the center of gravity of the mouse biased to the rear can reduce the force and burden on the fingers, improve the dragging feel and be more practical for long-term use; in addition, the battery mounting bracket is tilted in the width direction of the mouse to avoid the side buttons and the corresponding switch circuit module, and at the same time, the center of gravity of the battery can be shifted to the rear of the mouse.

[0024] The mouse provided by the second object of the present invention includes a multi-panel assembly structure, and the assembly structure adopts the multi-panel assembly structure mentioned above. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The rear cover 23 blocks the light-transmitting cover 26 and the insertion through hole 263 and the receiver 35 at the same time.

[0049] In addition, the mouse further includes a scroll wheel 31, a middle button 32, a first left button 33 and a second left button 34. The scroll wheel 31 can be pressed and rotatably arranged on the upper shell 1. The scroll wheel 31 is located at the front 1010 and between the pressing portion of the left button panel 21 and the movable portion 2201 of the right button panel 22. The middle button 32 can be pressed on the upper shell 1. In the length direction of the mouse, the middle button 32 is located behind the scroll wheel 31 and close to the middle of the mouse. The first left button 33 and the second left button 34 can both be pressed on the upper shell 1 and located on the left side 108. In the length direction of the mouse, the first left button 33 and the second left button 34 are close to the middle of the mouse. Corresponding to the multiple buttons, the interior of the mouse is provided with multiple micro switches and corresponding circuit modules. The front 1010 of the mouse and the internal space close to the left side 108 are occupied by these micro switches and circuit modules.

[0050] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the upper shell 1 is a porous structure. Figure 6 and Fig. 9 The left side wall 12 is provided with left-side functional holes, which are any one of the left-side weight-reducing holes 121, the left-side buckling holes 122 and the left-side positioning holes 123. The left-side weight-reducing holes 121, the left-side buckling holes 122 and the left-side positioning holes 123 are respectively the second weight-reducing holes, the second buckling holes and the second positioning holes of the present invention. The left side wall 12 has a left-side outer surface 128 facing the outside of the upper shell 1 and a left-side inner surface 129 facing the inner space of the upper shell 1. The left-side weight-reducing holes 121 and the left-side buckling holes 122 run through the left-side outer surface 128 and the left-side inner surface 129. The left-side positioning hole 123 can be set on the left-side outer surface 128 or run through the left-side outer surface 128 and the left-side inner surface 129.

[0051] The plurality of left-side action holes constitute a plurality of left-side hole columns arranged along the length direction of the mouse, and the left-side hole columns include two to four left-side action holes arranged in sequence along the height direction of the mouse, see Fig. 9 , taking the first hole row 1201 and the second hole row 1202 as an example, the first hole row 1201 includes three left weight-reducing holes 121 arranged in sequence along the height direction, and the second hole row 1202 includes a first left weight-reducing hole 121, a left positioning hole 123 and a second left weight-reducing hole 121 arranged in sequence along the height direction. In addition, see Fig. 9 On the left inner surface 129, almost all adjacent hole rows are provided with left inner reinforcing ribs 125, which protrude from the left inner surface 129 and extend along the height direction of the left side wall 12. Since the left side wall 12 is provided with a left button opening 127, this arrangement further weakens the strength of the thin left side wall 12, so more left inner reinforcing ribs 125 need to be added to improve the deformation resistance of the wall body.

[0052] See also Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9The left side panel 24 includes a left inner side surface 241 and three left side buckles 242 and a left side positioning column 243 protruding from the left inner side surface 241.

To improve its anti-deformation capability, the outer peripheral edges of the extended middle section 2202 and the extended rear section 2203 are provided with upper reinforcing convex edges 224 surrounding the bottom surface 221. The upper buckle 42 and the upper positioning column 223 are respectively the first buckle and the first positioning column of the present invention. When the right button panel 22 is connected to the top wall 11, the right button panel 22 is located outside the top wall 11, the upper buckle 42 cooperates with the upper buckle hole 112, the upper positioning column 223 cooperates with the upper positioning hole 113, and the right button panel 22 blocks all the upper weight reduction holes 111, the upper buckle holes 112 and the upper positioning holes 113.

[0058] See also Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Fig.13 , Fig.14 , Fig.15 and Fig.17 At the rear portion 1020 of the mouse, a first position 110 and a second position 120 are formed in the internal space of the shell 1 in sequence along the height direction, and a receiver receiving groove 350 and a light emitting device are respectively provided in the first position 110 and the second position 120.

[0059] The light emitting device includes an LED component 27, a light shield 28 and a light-transmitting cover 26. The LED component 27 includes an LED chip 272. The light-transmitting cover 26 is provided with a light-transmitting wall 261. The light-transmitting wall 261 has a pattern area 2610. On the light-transmitting wall 261, the pattern area 2610 is the main target light-transmitting area, and at least the pattern area 2610 has a certain light transmittance. The LED component 27, the light shield 28 and the light-transmitting cover 26 are installed at the rear part 1020 of the mouse. The emitted light of the LED chip 272 passes through the light channel 2800 formed in the light shield 28 and then reaches the light-transmitting cover 26.

[0060] See also Fig.13 , Fig.14 and Fig.15 The light shield 28 of this embodiment includes a light shielding peripheral wall 281, a first screw hole column 282 and a through socket 283. The end of the first screw hole column 282 is provided with a screw hole, and the through socket 283 is provided with an insertion through hole 231. The interior of the light shielding peripheral wall 281 forms an entrance 2801, a light channel 2800 and an exit 2802 which are connected in sequence. The light shielding peripheral wall 281 is trumpet-shaped and flared. The inner contour size of the light shielding peripheral wall 281 gradually increases from the entrance 2801 along the light channel 2800 to the exit 2802, and the size of the exit 2802 is much larger than the size of the entrance 2801. The sizes of the entrance 2801 and the exit 2802 refer to the inner contour cross-sectional area at the entrance 2801 and the inner contour cross-sectional area at the exit 2802, respectively.

[0061] The light shielding peripheral wall 281 includes four wall bodies 2811 which are connected end to end and connected in a bend in a direction around the light channel 2800. The four wall bodies 2811 shield the light channel 2800 from four different directions. Fig.15As shown, the entrance 2801 needs to be set upward, and the exit 2802 of the light-shielding peripheral wall 281 needs to be set toward the pattern area 2610, so the exit 2802 is set inclined to the vertical direction; in order to form an angle between the setting direction of the exit 2802 and the setting direction of the entrance 2801, it is necessary to distinguish the extension length and extension angle of the two relatively set walls 2811. In this embodiment, the wall 2811 close to the rear end 102 is more inclined relative to the vertical direction and has a smaller extension length, and the other wall 2811 away from the rear end 102 is less inclined relative to the vertical direction and has a larger extension length.

[0062] Also, see Fig.15 , the end faces of the four walls 2811 are connected to each other to form a first end face 2809 that is tightly around the outer periphery of the outlet 2802. Since the light-transmitting wall 261 extends along a curve, the incident surface 311 of the light-transmitting wall 261 is a curved surface. In order to make the first end face 2809 closely and fittingly contact the incident surface of the light-transmitting wall 261, the first end face 2809 and the end faces of the two sockets 283 are all located on the same curved surface that matches the light-transmitting wall 261. Therefore, when the light-shielding component is in an assembled state, the first end face 2809 on the light-shielding peripheral wall 281 that surrounds the outer periphery of the outlet 2802 is tightly in contact with the incident surface of the light-transmitting wall 261 as a whole, thereby effectively eliminating the gap between the light-shielding cover 28 and the light-transmitting cover 26 to prevent light leakage. Similarly, the light-shielding peripheral wall 281 has a second end face 2808 that surrounds the outer periphery of the entrance 2801. In order to avoid light leakage during assembly, the second end face 2808 is set to be a plane. When the circuit board 271 and the light shield 28 are fixedly connected, the second end face 2808 and the surface of the circuit board 271 are in close and fitting contact, thereby effectively eliminating the gap between the light shield 28 and the circuit board 271 to prevent light leakage.

[0063] See also Fig.16 and Fig.17 , Fig.16 Remove the bottom case of the mouse 6 ( Fig.18The multi-panel assembly structure of the mouse of the present invention further comprises a battery mounting frame 36, and the mouse further comprises a battery 37. The battery mounting frame 36 comprises a bearing portion 361 and a first connecting portion 368 and a second connecting portion 369 respectively connected to opposite ends of the length direction of the bearing portion 361. The length direction of the bearing portion 361 is also the length direction of the battery mounting frame 36. The first connecting portion 368 is located on the first extending end 3601 in the length direction of the battery mounting frame 36, and the second connecting portion 369 is located on the second extending end 3602 in the length direction of the battery mounting frame 36. The bearing portion 361 is provided with a battery mounting position 360, and the battery 37 is fixed in the battery mounting position 360. The first connecting portion 368 and the second connecting portion 369 are respectively fixedly connected to the second screw hole column 115 and the third screw hole column 116 extending downward from the top wall 11 by screws.

[0064] See also Fig.16 As described above, the front part 1010 of the mouse and the internal space near the left side 108 are occupied by the micro switches and the circuit modules. Furthermore, the circuit module 55 corresponding to the first left button 53 and the second left button 54 is located in the internal space of the mouse near the left side 108, and in the length direction of the mouse, the circuit module 55 is located in the middle of the mouse. Therefore, in order to avoid the circuit module 55, in the projection in the height direction of the mouse, the length direction of the battery mounting frame 2 is inclined to the width direction of the mouse. Furthermore, on the battery mounting frame 36, the first extension end 3601 near the left side wall 12 is closer to the rear end 102 of the mouse than the second extension end 3602 near the right side wall 13. Relatively speaking, the second extension end 3602 is closer to the front part 1010 of the mouse than the first extension end 3601. In addition, this arrangement also makes the center of gravity 370 of the battery 37 closer to the rear part 1020 to optimize the feel of the mouse; in addition, see Fig.17 In the height direction of the mouse, the center of gravity 370 of the battery 37 is located in the middle of the mouse. Under this setting, the top of the battery 37 is also used to set the elastic arm of the middle button 32, and the bottom of the battery mounting frame 36 can also be used to set other circuit modules.

[0065] Also, see Fig.16 Due to the inclined arrangement of the battery mounting frame 36, the first extension end 3601 close to the left side 108 is closer to the rear end 102. To further facilitate the spatial arrangement, the first position 110 and the second position 120 arranged in the height direction are actually arranged toward the right side 109; Figures 1 to 4 Correspondingly, the rear cover 23 is used to cover the receiver receiving slot 350 and the light-emitting device in the first position 110 and the second position 120 , and the rear cover 23 is also disposed toward the right side 109 .

[0066] See also Fig.18 and Fig.19 , near the front end 101 of the mouse, the bottom shell 6 is provided with a fastening socket 603, a wiring through hole 602 and an interface installation position 601 arranged along the insertion direction (negative direction of the x-axis in the figure). The bottom shell 6 includes a retaining wall 61, a side wall body 63, an upper wall body 621 and a lower wall body 622. The wiring through hole 602 is arranged on the retaining wall 61, and the lower wall body 622, the upper wall body 621 and the two oppositely arranged side walls 63 surround the fastening socket 603. The side wall body 63 is provided with a fastening convex rib 69, which protrudes from the surface of the side wall body 63 toward the center of the fastening socket 603, and the convex rib 69 extends along the insertion direction and its extended end is connected to the retaining wall 61. Along the insertion direction, the size of the fastening convex rib 69 in the height direction of the mouse (the y-axis direction in the figure) gradually increases.

[0067] The connecting line 7 includes a line body 71, a connector seat body 72 and a connector 73 which are connected in sequence. The connector seat body 72 is a rubber seat body. A fastening groove 79 is provided on the outer periphery of the connector seat body 72. The connector seat body 72 has an end face 721 close to the connector. The fastening groove 79 extends to the end face 721 along the insertion direction and forms an entrance 791. The fastening groove 79 is open on the outer peripheral surface of the connector seat body 72.

[0068] The mouse includes an interface module arranged in an interface installation position 601. When the connection line 7 is inserted into the main body of the mouse, the connector body 72 gradually enters the fastening socket 603, and the fastening rib 69 enters the fastening groove 79 from the entrance 791. As the connector body 72 goes deeper, the degree of compression between the fastening rib 69 and the connector body 72 increases gradually; until the connector body 72 reaches the target position, the fastening rib 69 and the connector body 72 form a stable compression fit, and the connector 73 passes through the wiring through hole 102 and docks with the interface of the interface module.

[0069] Comparison Figure 2 and Figure 4 It can be seen that the multi-panel assembly structure of the mouse of the present invention uses the upper shell 1 as the assembly basis, and multiple panels such as the left button panel 21, the right button panel 22, the rear cover 23, the left side panel 24 and the right side panel 25 are installed on the outside of different parts of the shell 1.

[0070] Under such a configuration, firstly, each panel is relatively independent from the others, and each panel can be made of different materials and have different structural characteristics according to the further performance requirements of the corresponding surface parts. For example, due to the activity requirements, the left button panel 21 and the right button panel 22 are made of materials with more flexible deformation ability; due to the grasping firmness requirements, the left panel 24 and the right panel 25 are surface treated to improve the surface roughness; due to the light effect requirements, the rear cover is made of light-transmitting material.

[0071] Then, since the multiple panels cover the upper shell 1 as much as possible, and the upper shell 1 is not used to form the external structural features and outer contours of various parts of the mouse, this setting reduces the difficulty of the process treatment of the upper shell 1 that requires local surface treatment or local material changes. Among them, the addition of the left panel 24 and the right panel 25 is more important for improving the coverage of the panel on the upper shell 1. In addition, the setting method of the panel is also adjusted according to the internal layout and functional structure of the mouse. For example, considering that the left button and the corresponding circuit module are arranged near the left side 108, the battery 37 is tilted so that the receiver storage slot 350 and the light-emitting device are arranged toward the right side 109 and near the rear end 102, and correspondingly, the rear cover 23 is also arranged to the right and rearward; in this case, in order to further ensure the coverage of the multiple panels on the outer surface of the shell 1, the present invention uses the right button panel 22 to extend the extended rear section 2203 and reach the adjacent part of the rear cover 23, and the extended middle section 2202 covers the middle position of the upper side of the mouse. In addition, the continuous curved button panel formed under this setting can also optimize the appearance design of the mouse.

[0072] Furthermore, under the premise that multiple panels cover the upper shell 1 as much as possible, the present invention also makes the upper shell 1 into a porous structure and covers multiple functional holes through multiple panels, thereby reducing the weight of the mouse without affecting the appearance and ensuring the dragging feel of the mouse. Further, in order to ensure the strength of the upper shell 1 as a porous structure, the top wall 11, the left side wall 12 and the right side wall 13 are provided with reinforcing ribs between suitable functional holes to ensure structural strength. Further, in order to ensure the combination stability between the panel and the upper shell 1, the panel and the upper shell 1 are not only fixed by the cooperation between the buckle and the buckle hole, but also fixed by the cooperation between the dispersed multiple positioning columns and the multiple positioning holes. In particular, for the fixation between the side panel and the side wall, the cooperation between the positioning column and the positioning hole not only plays a pre-positioning role, but also can effectively absorb the forces in all directions, so as to avoid the thinner elastic buckle from becoming the main force point and breaking and failing, and causing the connection between the panel and the upper shell 1 to fail.

[0073] Finally, it should be emphasized that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various changes and modifications. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
