Apple Mouse Patent Description

To ensure structural integrity, the shell can be composed of overlapping parts, thereby eliminating possible gaps that may pinch fingers or weaken the overall structure when compressed. Although this connection can be applied vertically, Apple also hinted at the possibility of a wider mouse. The side slide-out section is again controlled by the actuator and can be ejected to various positions to accommodate a greater grip. And these pop-up elements can still be contained in the entire case. Thus, the mouse can maintain a smooth appearance without gaps or holes while still being able to change its size.

The actuation system can take many forms, including a scissor mechanism, a rotating motor with extended struts, a multi-segment actuator for better control of size, and even a magnet-based actuator.
