Abstract: A seismic adapter for attachment to a steel web joist is disclosed. The joist includes two beams with the upper beam having a web depending therefrom. Cord elements extend between the beams at inclined angles. The adapter includes two anchor plates joined at one of the ends of each at a right angle. A mounting plate with a hole extending centrally therethrough is mounted to the anchor plates and extends across the angle on one side thereof. Clamps are arranged at the distal ends of the anchor plates and include an anvil extending from each anchor plate and a threaded hole aligned with the anchor plate to receive a threaded shaft engaged with the threaded hole and extendible to the anvil. The threaded shaft may include a convex end to be received by a concave seat in the anvil to deform thin webs positioned therebetween.

Abstract: A keyboard wrist support including a platform adapted for being in a first, deployed position adjacent to the keyboard or a second, storage position in a plane below the keyboard. The wrist support further includes a pair of elongated support brackets, each having a first portion coupled to the platform and a second portion movably attached to a base. The wrist support provides the additional benefits of counterbalancing the weight of the computer display when the wrist support is used with a portable computer and providing leverage to the user for stabilization.
