Abstract: A typing support is provided as a part of a typing station including a keyboard. The typing support includes a frame having a track and a keyboard support for engagement with a keyboard, a pair of wrist supports, and mounting members on which the wrist supports are carried. The mounting members provide support for the wrists of the typist which allow pivotal movement of one and preferably both hands during typing, and also translational movement along the longitudinal axis of the track. At least one of the wrist supports may be retained in a stationary position relative to the track by a retainer. The relative height or inclination of the keyboard can be adjusted by adjustment feet. The keyboard support may include a support member which pivots relative to a base to adjust the height of the keyboard received thereon, and may also keep a sheet of paper or the like in an upright position for viewing during typing.

Abstract: A violin shoulder cradle is provided for supporting a violin or similar stringed instrument on the shoulder of a musician. The cradle broadly includes a base for coupling adjacent the back of the violin body and a shoulder rest. The shoulder rest is contoured to substantially conform to the musician's shoulder while maintaining the desired substantially horizontal orientation of the violin along its longitudinal axis while in use. The outer surface of the shoulder rest is generally sloped from the remote edge toward the proximate edge inwardly toward the base, and includes a waist section which is closest the base, rising toward the first end in a plurality of steps.
