[0037] In the following description, Figure 1 the lateral direction is referred to as "width direction", the vertical direction is referred to as "front-rear direction", and Figure 2 the vertical direction is referred to as "up-down direction". The direction toward the elbow is the rear direction, and the direction toward the fingertips is the front direction.

[0038] The computer wrist support 100 according to the present application includes a main body 110 and a support member 120. The main body 110 serves as a frame maintaining a shape, and the support member 120 serves as a support body elastically supporting the wrist.

[0039] The main body 110 includes a bottom portion 113 and opposite side portions 111 extending upward from both width direction sides of the bottom portion 113. The main body 110 can be made of wood, metal such as aluminum, or synthetic resin such as ABS or nylon, or can be formed by including one or more of the above. The main body 110 can be manufactured by bending both sides of a metal material, or can be manufactured by injection molding of a synthetic resin. For example, the distance between the side portions 111 can be 8 to 12 cm.

[0040] The support member 120 serves to support the wrist. The support member 120 includes a support body 121 made of a stretchable material. For example, the support body 121 can be a stretchable rubber band in which a rubber band and a fiber are woven together.

[0041] The support body 121 extends along the outer surfaces of the bottom portion 113 and both side portions 111 of the main body 110, is spaced upward from the bottom portion 113, and extends in the width direction between both side portions 111 to form a closed loop. The wrist is elastically supported on the upper portion of the portion 121-2 spaced upward from the bottom portion 113 and extending in the width direction between both side portions 111. Since the wrist is supported by the support body 121 made of a stretchable material, the wrist is comfortably supported, and even if the height of the wrist changes up and down while operating the computer, the support body 121 can be stretched accordingly, so that no external force or impact is generated on the wrist. In the above, according to the use of the user, a part of the hand can be placed together with the wrist portion and elastically supported.

[0042] The support member 120 further includes a support extension 122 made of a stretchable material on the upper portion of the support body 121, and a wearing portion S is formed on the upper portion of the support body 121 to allow the hand to be inserted between the support extension 122 and the support body 121 to be worn.

[0043] The support body 121 is stacked in contact with the outer surface of the bottom 113 and in contact with the outer surface of the side portion 111. When describing the support body 121, the inner surface of the closed loop is referred to as the "inner surface" and the outer surface is referred to as the "outer surface".

[0044] Since the support body 121 is formed as a closed loop within the body 110, no additional fasteners are required for mounting the support member 120 to the body 110. Because the support body 121 is formed along the outer surface (lower surface) of the bottom 113... Figure 2 , Figure 3 (and the reference numeral 121-1 in Figure 11), so that when in use, the support body 121 comes into contact with the table, etc., thereby preventing the bottom 113 of the body 110, which serves as the frame, from directly contacting the table and generating noise.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, the support member 120 has a closed-loop coupling device 125, which is used to form a closed loop. The closed-loop coupling device 125 includes a first closed-loop coupling portion 125b and a second closed-loop coupling portion 125a. The first closed-loop coupling portion 125b is formed on the outer surface of one end of the support body 121. The second closed-loop coupling portion 125a is spaced from the first closed-loop coupling portion 125b along the length of the support body 121 and is formed on the opposite side of the first closed-loop coupling portion 125b, and is detachably coupled to the first closed-loop coupling portion 125b. The first closed-loop coupling portion 125b and the second closed-loop coupling portion 125a of the support body 121 are combined to form a closed loop. The closed-loop coupling device 125 can be a detachably coupled Velcro strap. The length of the first closed-loop coupling portion 125b is greater than the length of the second closed-loop coupling portion 125a. The length of the closed loop can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the second joint 125a and the first joint 125b of the closed loop. This allows for easy adjustment of the tension of the support body 121, thereby adjusting the height of the wrist support.

[0046] The support extension 122 may be integrally formed of the same material as the support body 121. The support extension 122 is integrally formed with the support body 121. The section containing the first closed-loop connection 125b and the second closed-loop connection 125a is the support body 121, and the portion extending outward from the second closed-loop connection 125a is the support extension 122. The section between the first connection 123a (described later) and the second closed-loop connection 125a is the support extension 122.

[0047] The support member 120 further includes a first coupling means 123. The support extension 122 extends from the support body 121 outside one side side portion 111, preferably, the length thereof is greater than the interval of the two side portions 111. The first coupling means 123 includes a first coupling portion 123a formed on the side of the support extension 122 end portion facing the support body 121, and a second coupling portion 123b detachably coupled to the first coupling portion 123a and formed on the outer surface of the support body 121 outside the other side portion 111. The second coupling portion 123b is formed between the closed loop first coupling portion 125b and the closed loop second coupling portion 125a.

[0048] The first coupling means 123 can be a Velcro detachably coupled. Preferably, the length of the second coupling portion 123b is greater than the length of the first coupling portion 123a. The first coupling portion 123a and the second coupling portion 123b are coupled to form another closed loop, i.e. a space S, for the hand to be inserted to wear on the upper portion of the support body 121. By adjusting the position at which the first coupling portion 123a and the second coupling portion 123b are coupled, the wrist inserted in the closed loop on the upper portion of the support body 121 can be loosened or tightened. The position at which the first coupling portion 123a and the second coupling portion 123b are coupled can be adjusted for use according to the needs and feelings of the user.

[0049] As shown in FIG. 1, a setting hole 111a is formed in the side portion 111 at a position spaced upward from the bottom portion 113 and penetrating in the width direction. The support body 121 passes through the setting hole 111a of the two side portions 111, and the closed loop first coupling portion 125b and the closed loop second coupling portion 125b are coupled to form a closed loop. The setting hole 111a can be formed in multiple numbers spaced in the up-down direction. Multiple setting holes 111a are formed in each side portion 111, so that the setting hole 111a into which the support body 121 is inserted can be selected to adjust the height for installation. Figure 2 The setting hole 111a can be formed in multiple numbers spaced in the up-down direction, the support body 121 is inserted into the setting hole 111a located in the lower portion to form a closed loop, and the support extension 122 is inserted into the setting hole 111a located in the upper portion to be coupled with the first coupling means 123. The support extension 122 can pass through the upper ends of the two side portions 111 to be coupled with the first coupling means 123.

[0050] It can also be formed such that the support body 121 is inserted into the setting hole 111a located in the upper portion to form a closed loop, and the support extension 122 passes through the upper ends of the two side portions 111 to be coupled with the first coupling means 123.

[0051] It can also be formed such that the support body 121 is inserted into the setting hole 111a located in the upper portion to form a closed loop, and the support extension 122 passes through the upper ends of the two side portions 111 to be coupled with the first coupling means 123.

[0052] An extension insertion hole 111b may also be formed on the side portion 111, which extends laterally from a position spaced upward from the setting hole 111a to allow the extension 122 to be inserted. Although the extension insertion hole 111b is described separately with reference numerals, the support body 121 may also pass through the extension insertion holes 111b of the two side portions 111 to form a closed loop, and the support extension 122 passes through the upper ends of the two side portions 111 to engage the first connecting device 123.

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, the hole 111a and the extension insertion hole 111b are formed into an elongated hole shape extending in the forward and backward direction.

[0054] like Figure 5 As shown, the setting hole 111a can be formed at an angle to the rear, so that the rear ( Figure 5 The left side is lower. Since the setting hole 111a is tilted so that it is lower behind the elbow side, the support body 121 passing through the setting holes 111a on both sides can also be formed to be lower behind. Since it is in the same direction as the tilt angle of the arm, the contact load can be applied more evenly.

[0055] like Figure 6 As shown, the setting hole 111a can be formed into an upwardly curved shape with a higher center and lower sides in the front-rear direction. Compared to the sides of the setting hole 111a in the width direction, the support body 121 forming a closed loop extends further at the protruding center. Therefore, when the wrist is placed on the support body 121, the front-rear side ends of the support body 121 contact the wrist to prevent pressure concentration and increase.

[0056] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the side portion 111 can be formed into a main body extension portion 111f extending upward from both sides in the front-rear direction at the top. The portion spaced upward from the bottom 113 of the support body 121 passes between the main body extension portions 111f of the two side portions 111. The front-rear sides of the support body 121 are engaged with the main body extension portions 111f, thus preventing the support member 120 from disengaging in the width direction and separating from the body 110.

[0057] The support body 121 can be formed into a closed loop by stitching 121a. The support extension 122 is the section extending from the part stitched 121a.

[0058] like Figure 7 As shown, the support body 121 of the closed loop can be formed along the outer surface of the side portion 111 and the main body portion 113 via the main body extension 111f. Of course, it is also possible to form a detachable closed loop by having the aforementioned closed loop connecting device 125.

[0059] The side portions 111 further include body protrusions 111g extending inward from the end portions of the body extension portions 111f in the front-rear direction, with the end portions being spaced apart and facing each other. When worn, the support extension portion 122 passes under the body protrusions 111g of the side portions on both sides, and the end portion is coupled to the first coupling means 123 outside the side portion 111 on one side. The extension portion 122 can pass over the body protrusions 111g and be coupled to the first coupling means 123.

[0060] As shown in Figure 9 , the end portion of the support extension portion 122 can also be sewn 122a from the outer surface side of the side portion 111 on the other side to the support body 121 forming a closed loop, so that the support extension portion 122 is formed on the upper portion of the support body 121.

[0061] As described above, the support extension portion 122 is formed on the upper portion of the support body 121, and a space S for inserting a hand to wear is formed between the support body 121 and the support extension portion 122, so that when the computer operation wrist support 100 of the present application is worn, the wrist is spaced apart from the bottom surface T (see Figure 10 ). Figure 10 The reference sign H shows a hand, and M shows a mouse.

[0062] As shown in Figure 3 , the computer operation wrist support 100 according to the present application further includes a soft pad member 160. The soft pad member 160 is formed of a material having a soft pad such as sponge. The soft pad member 160 wraps the support body portion 121-2 extending in the width direction from the bottom portion 113 upward and between the side portions 111 on both sides. The soft pad member 160 functions as a cushion.

[0063] Industrial applicability
