  • Handrest for automotive radio
    Patent number: 5810300
    Abstract: A hand support member for stabilizing a hand of a user in a selected position adjacent to a controllable component carried by a vehicle instrument panel. The controllable component has a control device that is controllable by a first portion of a user's hand, and the hand support member is connected to the vehicle instrument panel adjacent to the controllable component. The hand support member has a support portion rigidly located in a selected position away from the instrument panel and adjacent to the controllable component such that the selected position enables the user to rest, for example, the heel or palm of his hand on the support portion so as to be supported in a stable, generally non-moving position relative to the control device, such that the fingers of the user's hand can engage and activate the control device.
