ABSTRACT:
An ergonomic arm support for supporting the forearm during typing, keying, or assembly operations. The arm support includes an armrest pivotally mounted on a slide for sliding the armrest to and away from a base which is secured to a table or chair. The slide is pivotally mounted in the base such that the armrest, which is pivotal relative to the slide and slidable to and away from the base, is also rotatable about the base to provide for a wide range of motion for the forearm. The armrest further includes a linear ball slide arrangement with ball bearings disposed in a recirculating fashion. The ball slide arrangement engages the slide relative to the housing to provide for a fluid sliding of the slide.
