ABSTRACT:
An arm rest device for relieving load when performing work by hand and wrist movements comprises an attachment member for mounting the arm rest on a chair; an upper support for supporting the forearm and arranged to be self-positioning while supporting the forearm and work being performed by hand and wrist movements, said support accompanying the hand and wrist movements; an adjustable horizontal guide rail attached to said upper support and movably disposed in longitudinal direction to provide a corresponding adjustment of said support due to the influence of a force generated when the hand is moved forwards or backwards; an adjustable vertical guide rail which is movable in its longitudinal direction to provide a corresponding adjustment of said support due to the influence of a force generated by the weight of the forearm and by external forces exerted on the forearm; and a joint of elastic material arranged below said horizontal guide rail, carrying said horizontal guide rail and said support, said elastic joint being arranged to allow said horizontal guide rail to tilt in order to provide corresponding adjustment of said support due to the action of forces applied on said support in front of and behind said joint via the forearm, said horizontal guide rail, said vertical guide rail and said joint being arranged to return to their initial positions when said forces have ceased.
