Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a mouse, and more particularly to a mouse with side buttons. Background Technology

[0002] In most existing mice with side buttons, the tactile feedback of the side buttons cannot be fine-tuned to suit the user's needs. This can be inconvenient for certain users. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention discloses a mouse, mainly used to improve the existing mice with side buttons, where the pressing feel of the side buttons cannot be finely adjusted.

[0004] One embodiment of the present invention discloses a mouse, comprising: a housing; at least one auxiliary button movably disposed on one side of the housing, the inner side of the auxiliary button having a pressing structure; at least one switch module, comprising: a support structure fixedly disposed on the inner side of the housing; at least one adjustment component, comprising an operating element movably connected to the support structure; a base plate connected to the support structure; at least one micro switch on the base plate, a switching element of the micro switch facing the pressing structure; wherein the operating element can be operated to move relative to the support structure and actuate the base plate to change a distance between the switching element and the pressing structure; a base, comprising a main circuit board, a motion detection module and a processor, the base plate being a component independent of the main circuit board, and the micro switch being electrically connected to the processor via a flexible flat cable or wire.

[0005] Optionally, the operating element is a screw, and the adjustment assembly also includes a limiting element and a movable element. The screw is disposed on the support structure, and the limiting element is connected to the screw. The limiting element is used to restrict the screw so that the screw cannot move forward or backward relative to the support structure in an axial direction. The screw is locked into a locking hole of the movable element. The base plate is connected to the movable element. When the screw is rotated, the screw will drive the movable element to move forward in the axial direction, and the movable element will drive the base plate to move closer to the pressing structure, thereby changing the distance between the switch element and the pressing structure.

[0006] Optionally, the base plate has a main body and two elastic plates. The main body has two through holes. One end of each elastic plate is connected to the inside of the two through holes, and the other end of each elastic plate is a free end. Two microswitches are disposed on the two elastic plates. When the operating member is operated, the operating member can push against the elastic plate to make the elastic plate deform elastically.

[0007] Optionally, the switch module also includes a flexible arm, one end of which is connected to the support structure. The flexible arm is inclined toward the base plate, and the other end of the flexible arm is a free end. The support structure has a locking hole, and the operating element is a screw. The locking hole is positioned facing the free end of the flexible arm. When the screw is operated, the end of the screw can press against the flexible arm, so that the free end of the flexible arm pushes against the adjacent flexible plate, thereby changing the spacing.

[0008] Optionally, the resilient arm has a stop portion facing the lock hole, the stop portion being used to provide the end of the screw abutment.

[0009] Optionally, the auxiliary button can be pressed to move in a lateral direction, and the screw can be operated to move relative to the support structure in a longitudinal direction, which is not parallel to the lateral direction.

[0010] Optionally, the switch module also includes a pusher that is movably connected to the support structure. The pusher has a contact surface. The support structure also includes a locking hole. The operating element is a screw that is locked in the locking hole. When the screw is operated, it pushes against the contact surface, causing the pusher to push against an adjacent elastic plate, thereby adjusting the spacing.

[0011] Optionally, the pusher includes a body and two pivot shafts, the two pivot shafts being disposed at one end of the body of the pusher and located on both sides of the body of the pusher; the body can be pivotally connected to the support structure via the two pivot shafts; the end of the body opposite to the end with the two pivot shafts is disposed adjacent to the elastic plate.

[0012] Optionally, the end of the pusher adjacent to the support structure is defined as a bottom end, and the end of the pusher away from the support structure is defined as a top end. The two opposite sides of the pusher are abutting surface and a pushing surface, respectively. The pushing surface is used to push against the elastic plate. The horizontal distance between the abutting surface and the pushing surface gradually increases from the top end to the bottom end.

[0013] Optionally, the auxiliary button can be pressed to move in a lateral direction, and the screw can be operated to move relative to the support structure in a longitudinal direction, which is not parallel to the lateral direction.

[0014] In summary, the mouse of the present invention, through the design of the support structure, adjustment components, base plate and micro switch included in the switch module, allows relevant personnel to change the distance between the switch and the pressing structure by operating the adjustment components, thereby changing the tactile feel of the user pressing the auxiliary button.

[0038] In the following description, if it is indicated that a specific drawing is referred to or shown in a specific drawing, it is only to emphasize that most of the relevant content in the following description appears in that specific drawing, but does not limit the following description to refer only to the specific drawing.

[0039] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 7 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a first embodiment of the mouse of the present invention. Figure 2 This is an exploded view of this embodiment. Figure 3 This is a partial cross-sectional schematic diagram of this embodiment. Figure 4 for Figure 3 A partial decomposition diagram, Figure 5 and Figure 6 These are exploded schematic diagrams of the switching module from different perspectives in this embodiment. Figure 7 for Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the cross section along section line VII-VII.

[0040] The mouse A of the present invention includes a shell A1, a base A2, two auxiliary buttons A3, a left button A4, a right button A5, a scroll wheel A6, and a switch module 100. It should be noted that the auxiliary button A3 referred to herein is a button different from the left button A4 and the right button A5. For example, the auxiliary button A3 can be a side button located on the left or right side of the mouse A, but the specific location of the auxiliary button A3 can be changed according to requirements.

[0041] In the accompanying drawings of this embodiment, mouse A is shown as having two auxiliary buttons A3 as an example. However, the number of auxiliary buttons A3 included in mouse A is not limited to two. In different embodiments, the number of auxiliary buttons A3 included in mouse A may be one or more.

[0042] The outer casing A1 is detachably mounted on one side of the base A2. Two auxiliary buttons A3, a left button A4, and a right button A5 are movably mounted on the outer casing A1. The base A2 is equipped with a main circuit board A21, a motion detection module A22, and a processor A23. The base plate 3 is a component independent of the main circuit board A21, and the micro switch 4 can be electrically connected to the processor A23 via a flexible flat cable or wire. The electronic components included in the base A2 are prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0043] The switch module 100 is detachably installed inside the housing A1, and when the housing A1 is separated from the base A2, the switch module 100 is fixed inside the housing A1. That is to say, the switch module 100 is not installed on the main circuit board A21 of the base A2. This design facilitates the installation, removal and operation of the switch module 100 by relevant assembly personnel.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, auxiliary button A3 is movably disposed on one side of housing A1, and the inner side of auxiliary button A3 has a pressing structure A31. When the user presses auxiliary button A3, the pressing structure A31 on the inner side of auxiliary button A3 will correspondingly press against a switch element 41 of the corresponding switch module 100 (e.g., ...). Figure 6 and Figure 7 (As shown).

[0045] like Figures 3 to 7 As shown, the switch module 100 includes: a support structure 1, two adjustment components 2, a base plate 3, and two microswitches 4. It should be noted that the number of adjustment components 2 and the number of microswitches 4 included in the switch module 100 correspond to the number of auxiliary buttons A3. That is, in an embodiment where mouse A has only one auxiliary button A3, the switch module 100 will have only one adjustment component 2 and one microswitch 4.

[0046] The support structure 1 is fixedly installed on the inside of the housing A1. The support structure 1 is fixed to the inside of the housing A1, for example, by multiple screws. The switch module 100 is mainly fixed to the inside of the housing A1 by the support structure 1.

[0047] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the adjustment assembly 2 includes an operating element 21. The operating element 21 is movably connected to the support structure 1. The operating element 21 is, for example, a screw, and the support structure 1 may have, for example, two support arms 11, each of which has a locking hole 111 at its end, and the two screws (operating elements 21) are locked into the two locking holes 111.

[0048] The base plate 3 is mounted on the support structure 1. In an example, the support structure 1 may have two slots 12, and the two sides of the base plate 3 are respectively accommodated in the two slots 12. The switch module 100 is mounted on the base plate 3, which is a circuit board. The base plate 3 has a body 31 and two elastic plates 32. The body 31 has two through holes 311. One end of each elastic plate 32 extends outward from the inside of one of the through holes 311, and the other end of each elastic plate 32 is a free end. Each elastic plate 32 can be pushed to elastically deform relative to the body 31.

[0049] The two sides of the main body 31 are respectively disposed in the two slots 12. The main body 31 can be fixed to the support structure 1 by screws. The two microswitches 4 are fixed to the two elastic plates 32. The switching element 41 of each microswitch 4 faces the pressing structure A31 (e.g., Figure 7 (As shown in the image) settings.

[0050] like Figure 3 , Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the two operating components 21 and the two microswitches 4 are located on opposite sides of the two elastic plates 32. When the assembler operates the operating component 21 (screw) and pushes the end of the operating component 21 against the adjacent elastic plate 32, the elastic plate 32 will drive the microswitches 4 to move closer to the pressing structure A31 of the adjacent auxiliary button A3. In this way, the distance G between the pressing structure A31 and the switch component 41 can be reduced accordingly, thereby changing the feel of the user pressing the auxiliary button A3.

[0051] It should be noted that when the end of the operating member 21 abuts against the elastic plate 32, the elastic plate 32 will be in a state of elastic deformation. When the assembler moves the screw (operating member 21) away from the elastic plate 32, the elastic plate 32 will move away from the pressing structure A31 due to its own elastic restoring force. As a result, the distance G between the switching member 41 of the micro switch 4 and the pressing structure A31 will be relatively large.

[0052] As described above, assembly personnel can adjust the operating component 21 to change the distance G between the switch component 41 and the pressing structure A31, so that each mouse A leaving the factory has a roughly the same distance G. Thus, when consumers purchase the same model of mouse A, pressing the auxiliary button A3 will provide a roughly identical pressing feel. Of course, in practical applications, consumers can also disassemble mouse A themselves after purchasing it and adjust the operating component 21 to adjust the distance G.

[0053] In existing technology, the spacing between the switch and the pressing mechanism of various mice cannot be adjusted. Therefore, when consumers purchase the same model of mouse, they may experience different tactile sensations when pressing the auxiliary buttons in the same location. This causes inconvenience for consumers, especially esports players and other users who have high requirements for tactile feedback.

[0054] It should be noted that, in the accompanying drawings of this embodiment, mouse A has two auxiliary buttons A3 and the switch module 100 has two microswitches 4 and two elastic plates 32 as an example, but this is not a limitation. In different embodiments, mouse A may have only one auxiliary button A3, and the switch module 100 may have one microswitch 4. In another embodiment, mouse A may have four auxiliary buttons A3, with two auxiliary buttons A3 located on the left side of mouse A and the other two auxiliary buttons A3 located on the right side of mouse A, and mouse A may have two sets of switch modules 100, each set of switch modules 100 having two microswitches 4 and two elastic plates 32.

[0055] Please refer to the following: Figures 8 to 12 , Figure 8 This is a partial cross-sectional schematic diagram of a second embodiment of the mouse of the present invention. Figure 9 This is a partial exploded view of this embodiment. Figure 10 This is a partial exploded view of the switching module in this embodiment. Figure 11 This is a partial exploded view of the switching module in this embodiment. Figure 12 This is a partial top view of this embodiment.

[0056] It should be noted that the following description only addresses the differences between this embodiment and the previous embodiments; the parts not described are the same as those in the previous embodiments.

[0057] In this embodiment, the switch module 100 includes: a support structure 1, two adjustment components 2, a base plate 3, and two microswitches 4. The number of adjustment components 2 and microswitches 4 included in the switch module 100 in this embodiment corresponds to the number of auxiliary buttons A3 included in mouse A. That is, in one variation of this embodiment, if mouse A includes only one auxiliary button A3, then the switch module 100 will include only one adjustment component 2 and one microswitch 4.

[0058] The base plate 3 in this embodiment does not have the elastic plate 32 of the aforementioned embodiment; instead, the base plate 3 only includes a body 31. Two movable members 23 are fixed to the two sides of the base plate 3. The manner in which each movable member 23 is fixed to the base plate 3 is not limited here.

[0059] Two microswitches 4 are fixedly mounted on one side of the base plate 3. The base plate 3 between the two microswitches 4 can be fixed to the support structure 1 by fasteners (such as screws). The two ends of the base plate 3 with movable parts 23 can be slightly elastically deformed as the movable parts 23 move.

[0060] Each adjustment assembly 2 includes an operating element 21, which is a screw. Each adjustment assembly 2 also includes a limiting element 22 and a movable element 23. A portion of the screw (operating element 21) passes through a through hole 112 in the support structure 1. The through hole 112 is, for example, a through hole or a lock hole. The limiting element 22 is connected to the screw (operating element 21) and is used to restrict the screw (operating element 21) so that the screw (operating element 21) cannot move axially relative to the support structure 1. Specifically, the limiting element 22 can be a C-shaped fastener that engages and is fixed in an annular groove 211 of the screw (operating element 21), thereby ensuring that when the screw (operating element 21) is rotated, the screw (operating element 21) will only rotate and will not move forward or backward relative to the support structure 1 in the axial direction. That is, the screw (operating element 21) becomes a screw-like component.

[0061] The movable part 23 has a locking hole 231, and one end of the screw (operating part 21) is locked in the locking hole 231 of the movable part 23. When the screw (operating part 21) is operated, the screw (operating part 21) will not move along the axial direction (e.g. Figure 8 The screw (operating element 21) moves forward or backward along the X-axis direction, while the movable element 23 is driven by the screw (operating element 21) to move along the axial direction (e.g., along the X-axis direction). Figure 8 Move forward (in the X-axis direction).

[0062] like Figure 8 and Figure 12 As shown, when the movable part 23 is driven by the screw (operating part 21) along the axial direction (e.g.) Figure 8 and Figure 12 When the screw (operating member 21) moves towards the pressing structure A31 along the X-axis, the movable member 23 will drive one end of the base plate 3 connected to it to move towards the pressing structure A31. This changes the distance G between the switching member 41 of the micro switch 4 and the pressing structure A31. During the movement of the movable member 23 towards the pressing structure A31 driven by the screw (operating member 21), the base plate 3 will elastically deform. Therefore, when the assembler rotates the screw (operating member 21) in the opposite direction, the elastic restoring force of the base plate 3 will cause it to move away from the pressing structure A31.

[0063] As described above, the assembler can change the spacing G between each microswitch 4 and the adjacent pressing structure A31 by manipulating each screw (operating part 21).

[0064] Please refer to the following: Figures 13 to 18 , Figure 13 This is a partial cross-sectional schematic diagram of a third embodiment of the mouse of the present invention. Figure 14 This is a partial exploded view of this embodiment. Figure 15 This is a schematic diagram of the switch module in this embodiment. Figure 16 This is a partial exploded view of the switching module in this embodiment. Figure 17 This is a partial cross-sectional view of the switching module in this embodiment. Figure 18 for Figure 13 A schematic diagram of the cross-section along section line XVIII-XVIII.

[0065] It should be noted that the following description only addresses the differences between this embodiment and the previous embodiments; the parts not described are the same as those in the previous embodiments.

[0066] In this embodiment, the switch module 100 includes: a support structure 1, two adjustment components 2, a base plate 3, and two microswitches 4. The number of adjustment components 2 and microswitches 4 included in the switch module 100 in this embodiment corresponds to the number of auxiliary buttons A3 included in mouse A. That is, in one variation of this embodiment, if mouse A includes only one auxiliary button A3, then the switch module 100 will include only one adjustment component 2 and one microswitch 4.

[0067] like Figure 16 As shown, it should be noted that the base plate 3 in this embodiment is the same as the base plate 3 in the first embodiment, that is, the base plate 3 has a body 31 and two elastic plates 32, and two micro switches 4 are correspondingly arranged on the two elastic plates 32.

[0068] The switch module 100 of this embodiment also includes two elastic arms 5, one end of each elastic arm 5 is connected to the support structure 1, and the other end of each elastic arm 5 is a free end 51. Each elastic arm 5 can elastically deform when compressed. In practical applications, the two elastic arms 5 and the support structure 1 can be integrally formed. The number of elastic arms 5 included in the switch module 100 corresponds to the number of auxiliary buttons A3.

[0069] Each elastic arm 5 is inclined toward the elastic plate 32 of the base plate 3. The support structure 1 has two locking holes 111. The two locking holes 111 are positioned facing the free end 51 of the elastic arm 5. Each operating element 21 is a screw. When the screw (operating element 21) is operated, the end of the screw (operating element 21) can press against the elastic arm 5, causing the free end 51 of the elastic arm 5 to push against the adjacent elastic plate 32, thereby driving the micro switch 4 disposed on the elastic plate 32 to move toward the adjacent pressing structure A31, thereby changing the distance G (e.g., between the switching element 41 of the micro switch 4 and the pressing structure A31) between them. Figure 18 (As shown).

[0070] like Figures 16 to 18 As shown, in practical applications, each elastic arm 5 may have a stop portion 52, which is disposed facing the locking hole 111 of the support structure 1. The stop portion 52 is used to provide the end of the screw (operating member 21) with abutment. Through the design of the stop portion 52, it can be further ensured that when the screw (operating member 21) is operated, the end of the screw (operating member 21) can well push against the free end 51 of the adjacent elastic arm 5.

[0071] It is worth mentioning that, such as Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown, each auxiliary button A3 can be pressed along a horizontal direction (e.g. Figure 17 and Figure 18 The screw (operating element 21) can be operated along a longitudinal direction (e.g., the X-axis direction) when the screw moves. Figure 17 and Figure 18 The screw (operating component 21) moves relative to the support structure 1 in the Z-axis direction, and the longitudinal direction is not parallel to the transverse direction. This design facilitates the operation of the screws (operating component 21) by assembly personnel.

[0072] Please refer to the following: Figures 19 to 23 , Figure 19 This is a partial cross-sectional schematic diagram of the fourth embodiment of the mouse of the present invention. Figure 20 This is a partial exploded view of this embodiment. Figure 21 This is a partial exploded view of the switching module in this embodiment. Figure 22 This is a partial cross-sectional schematic diagram of this embodiment. Figure 23 for Figure 19 A schematic diagram of the cross-section along section line XXIII-XXIII.

[0073] It should be noted that the following description only addresses the differences between this embodiment and the previous embodiments; the parts not described are the same as those in the previous embodiments.

[0074] In this embodiment, the switch module 100 includes: a support structure 1, two adjustment components 2, a base plate 3, and two microswitches 4. The number of adjustment components 2 and microswitches 4 included in the switch module 100 in this embodiment corresponds to the number of auxiliary buttons A3 included in mouse A. That is, in one variation of this embodiment, if mouse A includes only one auxiliary button A3, then the switch module 100 will include only one adjustment component 2 and one microswitch 4.

[0075] like Figure 21 As shown, it should be noted that the base plate 3 in this embodiment is the same as the base plate 3 in the first embodiment, that is, the base plate 3 has a body 31 and two elastic plates 32, and two micro switches 4 are correspondingly arranged on the two elastic plates 32.

[0076] The support structure 1 also includes two auxiliary supports 14 and two longitudinal structures 15. Each auxiliary support 14 has two sidewalls 141, which are spaced apart and face each other, forming an accommodating space 14A between them. The longitudinal structures 15 are disposed adjacent to the auxiliary supports 14 and have a longitudinal locking hole 151, which is along a longitudinal direction (e.g., ...). Figure 21 The locking hole is formed in the Z-axis direction. Each operating element 21 is a screw, which locks into the longitudinal locking hole 151. Each auxiliary bracket 14 has a pivot hole 1411 on each of its two side walls 141.

[0077] The switch module 100 also includes two pushers 24. The number of pushers 24 included in the switch module 100 corresponds to the number of auxiliary buttons A3 included in the mouse A. Each pusher 24 is movably connected to the support structure 1, and each pusher 24 has a contact surface 243. The pusher 24 may be a trapezoidal structure.

[0078] More specifically, the pusher 24 includes a body 241 and two pivot shafts 242. The two pivot shafts 242 are disposed at one end of the body 241 and are located on both sides of the body 241. The body 241 can be pivotally connected to two pivot holes 1411 of the two side walls 141 of the auxiliary support 14 via the two pivot shafts 242, and the end of the body 241 opposite to the end with the two pivot shafts 242 is disposed adjacent to the elastic plate 32.

[0079] like Figures 21 to 23As shown, the two opposite sides of the pusher 24 have an abutment surface 243 and a pushing surface 244, respectively. The abutment surface 243 is adjacent to the screw (operating member 21), and the pushing surface 244 is adjacent to the elastic plate 32. The end of the pusher 24 adjacent to the support structure 1 is defined as a bottom end 246, and the end of the pusher 24 away from the support structure 1 is defined as a top end 245.

[0080] like Figure 23 As shown, the horizontal distance between the abutment surface 243 and the pushing surface 244 gradually increases from the top end 245 of the pushing member 24 to the bottom end 246 of the pushing member 24. With this design, when the screw (operating member 21) is operated and moves downward, the screw (operating member 21) will push against the abutment surface 243, causing the pushing member 24 to move to the right in the figure. In this way, the pushing surface 244 will push against the elastic plate 32 to reduce the distance G between the switch member 41 and the pressing structure A31.

[0081] As described above, when the screw (operating element 21) is operated, the screw (operating element 21) moves along the longitudinal direction (e.g., Figure 23 The Z-axis direction moves, and when each auxiliary button A3 is pressed, the pressing structure A31 moves roughly along a horizontal direction (such as...). Figure 23 The screw (operating component 21) moves along the X-axis direction, where the longitudinal direction is not parallel to the transverse direction. This design facilitates the adjustment of the screw (operating component 21) by the assembly personnel.

[0082] In summary, the mouse of the present invention, through the design of the support structure, adjustment components, base plate and micro switch included in the switch module, allows relevant personnel to adjust the spacing between the micro switch and the adjacent pressing structure by operating the operating components during the mouse assembly process. In this way, the spacing of each mouse can meet the factory requirements, and consumers who purchase the same model of mouse can get a generally similar feel when pressing the auxiliary button.

[0083] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent technical changes made based on the description and drawings of the present invention are included within the protection scope of the present invention.

The limiting element restricts the screw so that it cannot move forward or backward relative to the support structure in an axial direction. The screw locks into a locking hole of the movable element. The base plate is connected to the movable element. When the screw is rotated, the screw will drive the movable element to move forward in the axial direction, and the movable element will drive the base plate to move closer to the pressing structure, thereby changing the distance between the switch element and the pressing structure.

3. The mouse according to claim 1, characterized in that, The base plate has a main body and two elastic plates. The main body has two through holes. One end of each elastic plate is connected to the inside of the two through holes, and the other end of each elastic plate is a free end. Two micro switches are disposed on the two elastic plates. When the operating member is operated, the operating member can push against the elastic plate to make the elastic plate elastically deform.

4. The mouse according to claim 3, characterized in that, The switch module also includes an elastic arm, one end of which is connected to the support structure. The elastic arm is inclined toward the base plate, and the other end of the elastic arm is a free end. The support structure has a locking hole, and the operating element is a screw. The locking hole is positioned facing the free end of the elastic arm. When the screw is operated, the end of the screw can press against the elastic arm, so that the free end of the elastic arm pushes against the adjacent elastic plate, thereby changing the spacing.

5. The mouse according to claim 4, characterized in that, The elastic arm has a stop portion facing the lock hole, the stop portion being used to provide the end of the screw abutment.

6. The mouse according to claim 4, characterized in that, The auxiliary button can be pressed to move in a lateral direction, and the screw can be operated to move relative to the support structure in a longitudinal direction, which is not parallel to the lateral direction.

7. The mouse according to claim 2, characterized in that, The switch module further includes a pusher that is movably connected to the support structure. The pusher has a contact surface. The support structure also includes a locking hole. The operating element is a screw that is locked in the locking hole. When the screw is operated, it pushes against the contact surface, causing the pusher to push against an adjacent elastic plate, thereby adjusting the spacing.

8. The mouse according to claim 7, characterized in that, The pusher includes a body and two pivot shafts. The two pivot shafts are disposed at one end of the body of the pusher and are located on both sides of the body of the pusher. The body can be pivotally connected to the support structure via the two pivot shafts. The end of the body opposite to the end with the two pivot shafts is disposed adjacent to the elastic plate.

9. The mouse according to claim 7, characterized in that, The end of the pusher adjacent to the support structure is defined as a bottom end, and the end of the pusher away from the support structure is defined as a top end. The two opposite sides of the pusher are the abutting surface and a pushing surface, respectively. The pushing surface is used to push against the elastic plate. The horizontal distance between the abutting surface and the pushing surface gradually increases from the top end to the bottom end.

10. The mouse according to claim 7, characterized in that, The auxiliary button can be pressed to move in a lateral direction, and the screw can be operated to move relative to the support structure in a longitudinal direction, which is not parallel to the lateral direction.
