Abstract

Wrist pad for supporting the wrist of a person when working with a computer mouse (1) on a flat surface (3), wherein the wrist rest is formed by a survey (5), the ergonomically favorable for the wrist height difference between the computer mouse (1) and the flat surface (3) compensates, characterized in that the elevation (5) on a trolley (6) is arranged, the rollers (7) allow movement in all directions on the flat surface (3).

Description

The invention relates to a wrist rest for flat surfaces, in particular for table surfaces, for supporting wrists when working with a computer mouse.

Such wrist rests are well known as the bead of a mouse pad. So in the DE 101 12 140 A1 Named, which further develops this bead or elevation, that a Unterarmabstützung is made.

Next is from the DE 296 01 649 U1 a wrist rest for a computer keyboard is known, having associated with the keyboard roles on which the wrist or the bale of the hand can roll. Instead of connecting to the keyboard, you can also connect to a mousepad. In both cases, the rollers are laterally mounted in brackets and are of elongated cylindrical shape.

The disadvantage is that during a movement of the wrist, only the movements are supported perpendicular to the roller axis by the rollers, to lateral movements, however, not.

The object of the invention is to improve such wrist rests. This object is achieved with the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are the subject of the dependent claims.

In a wrist rest for supporting the wrist of a person when working with a computer mouse on a flat surface, wherein the wrist rest is formed by a survey that compensates ergonomically favorable for the wrist the height difference between the computer mouse and the flat surface, it is proposed that the survey is arranged on a trolley whose roles allow movement in all directions on the flat surface.

The wrist can thus follow the intended movement of the computer mouse in all directions. A twisting of the wrist is thus excluded as well as a move on the conventional collection of the mouse pad.

In this case, the trolley preferably has three rollers, which are arranged in a triangle or four rollers are arranged in a rectangle.

As rollers ball rollers or all-side rollers are preferably used or the rollers are Mecanum wheels.

A further advantageous embodiment provides that the trolley is connectable or connected to the computer mouse. The connection can be rigid or is formed by a joint.

In both cases, the roller carriage and the computer mouse may have a common housing.

The invention will be explained with reference to the drawing.

The 1 shows a hand 4 holding a computer mouse 1 on a mousepad 2 emotional. The mousepad 2 lies on a level surface 3 on.

The wrist of the hand 4 is on a survey 5 of the trolley 6 supported, with the trolley 6 with the computer mouse 1 about the connection 8th , a joint, is connected.

The trolley 6 has four roles 7 which are arranged in a rectangle. The roles 7 are all-side rollers, ie the trolley 6 is in any direction you want on the mousepad 2 movable.

Arm, wrist and hand 4 are thus able to support the intended movement of the computer mouse 1 to perform without any movement of the wrist towards the arm or the elevation 5 necessary is.

Body light overloads when working with the computer mouse 1 are so safely avoided.
