  • Patent number: 4762436
    Abstract: The keys operated by the Middle Fingers in the Second Nearest Row and the Fourth Nearest Row of the Alpha-Numeric Core, i.e. QWERTY D K 3 and 8, and the center key on the Number Pad are provided with hand positioning structures.Hand positioning with the Middle Fingers is based on the anatomical structure and bio-mechanical functioning of the arms, wrists, hands and fingers, and the hand positioning structures function by the neuro-sensory process of 2-point discrimination.With minimal practice, use of the hand positioning structures quickly functions at a subconscious reflex level.The hand positioning structures enable the operator to maintain visual focus and concentration on the text or display screen, and thereby eliminates unnecessary eye movement and text-reading errors due to eye movement.The structures and methods enable eliminating Home Row, and thereby eliminates awkward movements and contortions and eliminates the errors resulting from awkward movements and contortions.
