ABSTRACT:
A forearm support apparatus for a keyboard operator is disclosed including first and second forearm support units. Each of the support units includes a base member having a tapered wall and a flat bottom wall. A complementing upper member has a similar taper and is secured to upper wall and an inverse orientation to raise the tapered wall to a top surface. The top member is formed of a highly resilient compressible material to receive the forearm which depresses the material and supports the forearm. The support units are mounted in laterally spaced relation with the tapered upper walls extending inwardly and downwardly toward each other. The forearms are thereby biased inwardly toward each other in restrict outward displacement. The members are formed symmetrically about a transverse plane generally parallel to the keyboard. The top member has a shorter length than the bottom member to define forward and front and back recesses. In addition, the bottom member has its upper edge tapered to increase the free space to the opposite sides of the top wall. This permits optimum movement of the forearm. One of the members has a keypad section secured to the outer large end of the support unit. That unit is located to receive the forearm which operates the keyboard including the keypad section. A cotton cloth cover encloses each of the units. Movement of the forearm on the top surface will not create a static electrical charge thereby protecting the electronics of the keyboard unit. Various alternate modifications and alternate structures are also discussed.
