  • Patent number: 5288042
    Abstract: A wrist rest support system for supporting a wrist rest beyond the edge of a working surface, including an extension clamp having a cantilever plate having a first end member proximate the working surface and a second end member, the second end member having a distal end cantilevered away from the working surface. Each end member has a separate longitudinal axis spaced laterally apart. The longitudinal axes are approximately parallel. A fastener for attaching the cantilevered plate to the working surface is connected to the first end member of the cantilever plate. The second end of the cantilever plate has a groove proximately perpendicular to the second axis. The groove is for receiving a sculpted portion of a base member of the wrist rest. A retaining member is disposed upwardly at the distal end of the second end member. The retaining member is for retaining the wrist rest on the second end member.

  • Patent number: 5088668
    Abstract: A wrist rest (10), being positioned on a generally planar surface, includes a generally cylindrical sector support member (15) having an outside surface and an inside surface. A generally cylindrical sector base member (11) has an outside surface and an inner surface, the inside surface of the support member positioned proximate the outside surface of the base member (11). The members (11) and (15) are substantially concentric. The members (11) and (15) may be locked in a plurality of relative positions after relative rotational movement between the members (11) and (15), thereby defining a plurality of radial heights of the wrist rest (10) with respect to the planar surface. The support member (15) may include a first section (16) and second section (17) and further the distance between the sections (16) and (17) is adjustable.
