Abstract

The orthopaedic arm supports extend outwards from the machine. Each arm support is hinge-linked to the typewriter and not to the seat on which the operator sits. The support begins at the wrist at a point which is the optimum position as regards height, distance and lateral displacement relative to the keyboard. The support extends back as far as the elbow and thereby covers the whole of the lower arm. A water bed or air cushion support is spreferred since it does not give rise to pressure points. the support can be attached to the metal plate which simultaneously serves as the base for the typewriter. The end of the support on which the elbow rests should be adjustable both laterally and vertically.

Beschreibungdescription Orthopädische Armstütze für MaschinenschreiberOrthopedic armrest for typists

Die Erfindung hat es sich zum Ziel gesetzt, Haltungsschäden bei Maschinenschreibern, die sich durch Schulterverkrampfungen und Sehnenscheidenentzündungen äußern, zu verhindern. In zunehmendem Maße werden im Zeichen der Rationalisierung immer mehr Arbeitsplätze eingerichtet, an denen während der gesamten Arbeitszeit geschrieben wird. Der Maschinenbediener - ob an Schreibmaschine oder Eingabegerät - wird dadurch gezwungen, die Unterarme im rechten Winkel zum Oberarm zu halten, um die Tastatur durch eine vorgegebene Hand- und Fingerstellung möglichst blind bedienen zu können.The invention has set itself the goal of postural damage in typists, which is caused by shoulder cramps and tendinitis express to prevent. Increasingly, the sign of rationalization is getting set up more workplaces where people write throughout their working hours. The machine operator - whether on Typewriter or input device - this forces the forearms to be held at right angles to the upper arm in order to avoid the Keyboard by a given hand and finger position if possible to be able to operate blindly.

Biherige Armstützen waren an den Stühlen angebracht, jedoch durch den unterschiedlichen Körperbau der Schreiber, durch verschiedene Sitzhöhe, durch individuellen Sitzwinkel und Sitzabstand, war wenig Erfolg zu erzielen.Previous armrests were attached to the chairs, but due to the different build of the writers, due to different ones Seat height, through individual seat angles and seat spacing, was not very successful.

Der Anmelder geht davon aus, daß durch die Tastenanordnung bei allen Maschinenbedienern die Hände fixiert sind. Am Handgelenk muß also die Armstütze beginnen, einem Punkt, der optimal ist in Höhe, Abstand und seitlicher Verschiebung für das jeweilige Tastensystem. Die Stütze soll den ganzen Unterarm aufliegen lassen bis einschließlich Ellenbogen. Am besten geeignet ist eine flächige Auflage, eventuell nach Art eines Wasserbettes oder eines Luftkissens, um keine Druckstellen zu ermöglichen. Die Auflage kann auch nur die Hälfte des Unterarmes unterstützen, in jedem Falle aber den Ellenbogen.The applicant assumes that the key arrangement at all machine operators have their hands fixed. So the armrest must begin at the wrist, a point that is optimal in height, distance and lateral displacement for the respective Key system. The support should rest the entire forearm up to and including the elbow. Most suitable is one Flat support, possibly in the manner of a water bed or an air cushion, so as not to allow pressure points. The edition can only support half of the forearm, but in any case the elbow.

Durch diese halbe Stütze würden die Schulterverkrampfungen, die bei weitem überwiegen, verhindert. In jedem Falle muc die Stütze fest rnit der Maschine verbunden sein, nicht mit dem Stuhl.This half support would prevent the shoulder cramps, which by far predominate. In any case, the support muc fixed r n it the machine be connected, not with the chair.

Die Stützei kann vorne an einer Metallplatte befestigt sein, die gleichzeitig Schreibmaschinenunterlage ist. Das Ende der Stütze, auf dem der Ellenbogen liegt, soll seitlich und Ln der Höhe verstellbar sein.The support egg can be attached to a metal plate at the front, which is also a typewriter pad. The end of the support on which the elbow rests should be to the side and to the side Be adjustable in height.
