Definitions
- the invention relates to a support for a user interface effective to be attached to a chair.
- Computer mouse pads are known and are used to support a mouse and to define a usable surface for movement of the mouse, hi a typical arrangement, a simple flexible pad is placed on a desk and the mouse is used on top of the pad.
- Other arrangements include a support attached to a desk or a keyboard so that the mouse may be moved near the desk or keyboard and
- the user need not locate an additional flat surface. These arrangements provide some desired flexibility but the user is still required to sit near his desk or keyboard to use the mouse. Moreover, the user's arms must be extended to reach the mouse - a position which may not be ergonon ⁇ cally desired and may cause back pain in the user,
- One aspect of the invention is a combination of a chair and a user interface support.
- the combination comprises a chair, the chair comprising a base, a seat attached to the base, and at least one arm rest attached to the base.
- the combination further comprises a user interface support, the user interface support comprising a horizontal support screwed to the at least one arm rest, a vertical support attached to the horizontal support, and a pad surface
- Another aspect of the invention is a method for attaching a support to a chair, the chair comprising a base, a seat attached to the base and at least one arm rest attached to the base,
- the method comprises unscrewing screws connecting the base of the arm rest to the cushion; screwing a horizontal support of a user interface support to the base of the arm rest; attaching a vertical support of the user interface support to the horizontal support; and attaching a pad surface of the user interface support to the vertical support.
- FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a chair in accordance with the prior art.
- FIG. 2 is a front perspective exploded view of a user interface support in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 3 is a side view of a user interface support in accordance with an embodiment
- FIG. 4 is a top view of a user interface support in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
- Fig. 5 is a top cut-away view of a portion of an arm rest in accordance with the prior art.
- FIG. 6 is a side perspective view of a user interface support in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 7 is a front perspective view of a portion of a user interface support and a chair in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 8 is a side view of a combination of a user interface support and a chair in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 9 is a top view of a combination of a user interface support and a chair in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
- a prior aft chair 50 which can be attached to a user interface support in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
- Chair 50 could be, for example, an AERON chair.
- Chair 50 includes a back 52 attached to a base 60.
- Base 60 is attached to a movable support 62 including legs and wheels.
- a seat 58 is attached to base 60.
- Arms 54 are attached to and extend from base 60 and include arm rests 56.
- prior art mouse support structures cannot be easily combined with prior art chair 50.
- Figs. 2, 3 and 4 3 there is shown a user interface support 70 in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
- User interface support 70 includes a horizontal support 72, a vertical support 84 and a pad surface 90.
- Pad surface 90 could be used to support, for example, a mouse or tablet digitizer or other user interface.
- Pad surface 90 includes a hollow cylindrical recess 86 sized similarly to recess 82 so as to receive and retain vertical support 84.
- Pad surface 90 may be made Of 1 for example, polyethylene, and have any desired shape so as to allow a user to freely move a user interface thereon.
- An end 96 of pad surface 90 may have a u-shaped cross-section designed to conform with an end of arm rest 56.
- arm rests 56 of chair 50 mclude a cushioned support 56 attached to a metal base 66 through the use of screws (not shown).
- base 66 may include screw holes 68 which may be used to retain nuts such as tinnerman nuts.
- a user may place tinnerman nuts 100 (Fig. 6) into screw holes 68 and replace cushioned support 64 on top of base 66. Thereafter, the user may place horizontal support 72 underneath base 66 so that screw holes 74 line up with screw holes 68.
- FIG. 7 there is shown horizontal support 72 screwed together with arm rest 64. Also shown on seat 58 of chair 50, are pad surface 90, vertical support 84 and a clamping member 94. Referring to Figs. 6 and 7, a screw 92 is attached to pad surface 90, such as by a pern nut, and extends through vertical support 84 when vertical support 84 is placed within recess 86 (Fig. 2) of pad surface 90. To complete installation of user interface support 70, vertical support 84 is placed on top of horizontal support 72 so mat vertical support 84 rests in recess 82 (Fig.
- the user interface support is made of a flexible, scuff resistant material that does not easily damage surrounding furniture when the user's chair moves.
- the user interlace support can also be simply adapted for use with other chairs simply by moving the screw boles and/or changing the length of the horizontal support.
- the user interface support is implemented with fewer parts that prior art devices and so it is simpler to manufacture and install.

Abstract
L'invention concerne un support d'interface utilisateur efficace pour être facilement fixé à une chaise de bureau. Le support d'interface utilisateur comprend un support horizontal, un support vertical et une surface de coussinet. La surface de coussinet est fixée aux supports horizontal et vertical. Le support de l'interface utilisateur peut être combiné avec une chaise ayant un accoudoir comprenant une base et un coussin. Un utilisateur peut dévisser des vis de la base pour enlever le coussin de celle-ci. Des écrous peuvent être installés dans la base de sorte que les vis peuvent fixer le support horizontal sur la base et sur le coussin grâce à l'utilisation des écrous. Le support vertical et la surface de coussinet peuvent être ensuite fixés sur le support horizontal.
