Definitions

  • the support stands with a stand on the floor: On the floor, the wire circle with 3 feet and / or the cross or tripod are an alternative to the material-consuming plate.
  • the vertical stand from the floor to the support can be somewhat elastic. So it facilitates the movement of the arm above.
  • the rod can be made of steel, elastic from glass fiber or from a coiled spring (possibly also like a large bed spring with different radii), or from a band spring if the upper construction allows sufficient movement.
  • One or two torsion springs (at the base of the bar) also allow deflection at the top.
  • a telescopic pole makes it easier to put away when not in use. The advantage is then that the height of the device can be easily adjusted.
  • a spring-loaded locking of slidable tubes as with crutches allows fixed heights and is therefore easy to use but not continuously adjustable.
  • a wing screw can be used for fixing.
  • Several insertable spacer sleeves could also be used for this. If the support is not required, the support can also be made smaller or disappear by folding the upper part downwards.
  • a rounded pad (possibly padded) (towards the bottom) protects the skin and clothing. You can also add additional suspension (with a band or spiral spring).
  • the shape of the armrest can be from round to oval elongated (approx. Max. 10 cm). An elongated recess from above allows good arm contact, which supports the (rotating) movement without slipping down.
  • the armrest should definitely have a swivel for attachment.
  • the side towards the table should be as thin as possible so as not to hit the table.

Description

(elastische oder bewegliche) Armstützen an Computerarbeitsplätzen
Stand der Technik:
Viele Personen leiden an einer Verkrampfung beim Tastatur- Schreiben und Maus- Arbeiten mit medizinischen Folgen.
Bei den Urmachern und Goldschmieden gibt es (teilweise hochgestellte) Tische, die vorne einen runden Ausschnitt aufweisen, der die Personen etwa halb umrundet. Diese Lösung ist aber bei Computern nicht zu benutzen, da diese wegen des Raumverbrauchs und der Optik bei Computer- Arbeitsplätzen wohl kaum akzeptiert würde.
Für die Tastatur hat man Auflagen erfunden, die die Handwurzel stützen. Das ist aber eine unflexible und wegen der Reibung eine immer noch unergonomische Methode. Die schon erfundenen beweglichen Konstruktionen, die an dem Arbeitstisch angebracht werden, leiden unter anderem vor allem an dem Mangel, Bewegungsenergie auf den Tisch zu übertragen und zu stabil konstruiert sein zu müssen und dazu Wartung für gutes Funktionieren zu verlangen. Optisch stören diese meistens.
Man kann sich einfach helfen, indem man einen weiteren (höheren) Tisch etwa in der Höhe des Ellenbogengelenks aufstellt. Das ist aber auch allgemein nicht durchsetzbar, weil es zu sperrig, nicht perfekt und unflexibel ist und die Kleidung wegen der Reibung an der festen Auflage schnell verschleißt.
Erfindungsgedanke :
Also konstruiert man eine (horizontal bewegliche) Stütze für einen Arm (bei der
Maus) oder zwei davon für beide Arme (bei der Tastatur), die einfach auf den Boden gestellt wird. Angenehm ist eine vertikal gefederte Auflage. Es müssen die
Drehbewegung des Arms und Bewegungen parallel zur Arbeitstischebene unbeschwert möglich sein.
Eine Ideallösung verbraucht wenig Material und (optischen) Raum. Sie sollte leicht wegklappbar oder wegstellbar sein. Es werden erfindungsgemäß vorgeschlagen:
Die Stütze steht mit einem Ständer auf dem Fußboden: Auf dem Boden bieten sich der Drahtkreis mit 3 Füßen und/oder das Kreuz bzw. Dreibein an als Alternative zur materialverbrauchenden Platte. Der senkrechte Ständer vom Boden zur Auflage kann etwas elastisch sein. So erleichtert er die Bewegung des Armes oben. Der Stab kann fest aus Stahl sein, elastisch aus Glasfiber oder aus einer gewickelten Feder (evtl. auch wie eine große Bettfeder mit unterschiedlichen Radien), bzw. aus einer Bandfeder, wenn die obere Konstruktion genügend Bewegung erlaubt. Eine oder zwei Torsionsfedern (am Fuß des Stabes) ermöglichen auch eine Auslenkung oben.
Eine Teleskopstange erleichtert durch Verkleinerung das Wegstellen bei Nichtbenutzung. Der Vorteil ist dann auch die leichte Einrichbarkeit der Höhe der Vorrichtung. Eine gefederte Arretierung verschiebarer Röhren wie bei Krücken läßt fest eingestellte Höhen zu und somit leicht bedienbar aber nicht stetig einstellbar. Es kann gut eine Flügel- Schraube zum Fixieren benutzt werden. Auch mehrere einlegbare Distanzhülsen könnten dazu dienen. Wird die Stütze nicht benötigt, kann man auch durch einen Klapp-Mechanismus des oberen Teiles nach unten die Stütze verkleinern bzw. verschwinden lassen.
Eine (evtl. gepolsterte) gerundete Auflage (zur Hand hin nach unten) schont die Haut und Kleidung. Man kann auch eine zusätzliche Federung anbringen (mit Band- oder Spiralfeder). Die Form der Arm- Auflage kann von rund bis oval länglich ( ca. max. 10 cm) sein. Eine längliche Vertiefung von oben darin läßt einen guten Armkontakt zu, der die (Dreh-) Bewegung unterstützt, ohne das man dabei herunterrutscht. Die Arm- Auflage sollte auf jeden Fall ein Drehgelenk zur Befestigung hin besitzen. Die Seite zum Tisch hin sollte möglichst dünn sein, um nicht mit der Auflage am Tisch aufzuschlagen.

Claims

Patentansprüche:
1.
Eine (elastische oder bewegliche) Aπnstütze, gekennzeichnet dadurch, daß diese auf den Fußboden gestellt ist und einen senkrechten festen Stab mit zusätzlichen Torsionsfedem (diese können auch durch Bandfedern ersetzt werden) oder einen elastischen Stab besitzt oder eine Spiral- (evtl. mit verschieden Radien nach oben bzw. unten enger werdend) Feder als Stab besitzt und
2. die Armauflage noch drehbar ist gegen die Unterkonstraktion und
3. sich die Höhe der Stütze über Teleskop-Röhren einstellen, die mit einer Schraube] in der Höhe zum Fixieren benützt werden oder gefederte Arretierungen zum Fixieren benutzt werden und
4. die Armauflage rundlich ohne spürbare Kanten geformt (oval in der Aufsicht) und evtl. gepolstert ist bzw. die Armauflage länglich ist mit einer Vertiefung für den Unterarm bzw. Ellenbogengelenk.
