The present invention relates to a wrist rest and more particularly to a wrist-5 support used to support the wrist when typing on a typewriter, and in particular when using a computer for both typing and using a mouse.

Recently, it has been observed that working with a computer, despite its apparent ease, is a very stressful task for certain parts of the hand. Inflammation of the tendon sheath and other ailments caused by static stress are often very painful and also disabling.

15 To facilitate terminal work, wrist rests have been developed in the art, the most common model of which comprises a plate-like part under the keyboard, to the front of which is attached a foam pad in particular, on which the wrist can be supported continuously or if necessary. This solution is good and has eased 20 morbidity situations, but it still has a couple of drawbacks. Namely, when writing, the hand is by no means always in the best possible position, trying to strain the wrist unnecessarily.

25 The purpose of this invention is to provide a writing-support solution, which avoids the above mentioned drawback and provides for hands chance to be the most comfortable position when resting on the support.

The advantages of the invention are achieved by a solution, the characteristic features of which are given in the appended claims.

The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying patent drawing, which shows an embodiment 35 of the invention in a perspective view.

The figure thus shows an embodiment of the invention in which a cushion-shaped wrist support part 2 is attached to the plate-like part 1.

The computer keyboard is intended to be placed at least partially on the plate 1 and is a small, optional distance from the pad 2. The keyboard has, as usual, the actual writing part on the left, followed by the plastic key part and on the right a numeric keypad.

According to the invention, the pad 2 is shaped so that the part of it which comes to the actual typing keyboard has a protrusion 3. The purpose of the protrusion is to support the wrists so that they are not substantially inwardly towards the horizontal upper surface of the wrist rest 2 but towards the wrist support 2 protrusion 3. sloping surfaces of the sides. The superiority of the position is easily understood when looking at your wrists while typing on the keyboard.

In this case, the wrist is in an inclined position rather than in a horizontal position.

When the wrists get tired, they tend to take a position that is stressful for them. Now, in accordance with the present invention, the wrists are supported against this turning and as a result the wrists become less tired.

The support 2 and its design use materials conventional and accepted in the art that feel comfortable against the wrist.

The shape of the protrusion 3 may be round and, if necessary, also of other shapes.
