ABSTRACT:
A platform for a computer input device includes a deck having a top surface on which an associated data input device can be selectively positioned and a bottom surface. Also provided is a base having a top surface, and a bottom surface that rests on a user's thigh. A fastening device, such as hook and loop fasteners or a screw, could be used to secure these two elements together. The deck can be selectively detached from the base in order to reverse its orientation with regard to the base and allow the platform to be switched from one thigh of the user to the other. A structure for preventing the input device from falling off the platform can be included. A rest for an operator's appendage can be located on the deck top surface. The height and angle of inclination of the deck can be adjusted, if desired, in relation to the base. Alternatively, the platform can include a support assembly having a top surface on which the associated data input device can be selectively supported and a contoured bottom surface wherein the bottom surface is adapted to rest on a thigh of the user. A structure for preventing the input device from falling off the top surface can be provided. A wrist rest can be located on the support assembly top surface. The latter embodiment can be of one piece.
