Continuous loop mouse

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is a principal object of the present invention to provide a multi-axis cursor or pointer control device which operates from a fixed location thereby avoiding the need to move the control device location to effect signal generation.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a multi-axis continuous loop or boundaryless input device for control of a pointer or cursor on computer screens and other graphical displays.
It is another object of the invention to provide a cursor or pointer control device which can effect a movement of the cursor or pointer without the need for user selection of a portion of the control device which is contacting the movement sensor of the control device.
Yet another object of the invention is to provide a multi-axis continuous loop device for control of pointer or cursor thereby avoiding the need to align the control device range of operation with the extreme limits of the computer screen or plotter bed in order to provide for a full range of cursor or pointer motion within the movement limits of the control device.
Another object of the invention is to provide a fixed location multi-axis pointer or cursor control device which provides a user with a large active control surface area in comparison to conventional such devices.
The foregoing and other objects are not intended in a limiting sense, as will be readily evident upon a study of the following specification and accompanying drawings comprising a part thereof.
