Definitions

  • the invention relates to a support, in particular a support which can support an object in movable manner.
  • the support according to the invention can be used for instance as wrist support for supporting the wrists of a person operating a keyboard.
  • the support according to the invention comprises a closed balloon of flexible material filled with a fluid.
  • the supported object in the example discussed the wrist, is moved the balloon rolls over the surface on which it lies and no relative movement of the supported object occurs relative to the wall of the balloon on which it is resting.
  • the advantage is moreover achieved of a very uniform pressure on the wrist without pressure concentrations, whereby the blood circulation is not obstructed and no skin irritation occurs.
  • step of claim 3 is applied herein.
  • a liquid moreover ensures a uniform temperature of the support, this being pleasant in use.
  • step of claim 4 is achieved that no spring effect occurs, which is irritating in particular applications.
  • step of claim 5 is applied the support will move back to a starting position when a load is removed so that the support will always be situated at the desired position.
  • Another suitable embodiment is characterized in claim 6.
  • the adhering means serve to determine the average position of the support according to the invention.
  • Figure 1 shows an example of an application of a support according to the invention.
  • Figures 2 and 3 show the behaviour of the support according to the invention during use.
  • Figures 4 and 5 show partly broken away perspective views of two further developed embodiments.
  • Fig. 1 shows two supports 1 according to the invention in use as supports for the wrists 2 of a user 3 who is operating a keyboard 4.
  • the supports 1 according to the invention lie on the desk-top 5 and the wrists 2 rest on supports 1.
  • the support according to the invention comprises a closed balloon 8 of flexible material filled with a fluid 6.
  • a suitable material for the balloon 8 is for instance latex.
  • the fluid with which the balloon 8 is filled is in this case liquid which gives support 1 a behaviour suitable for the intended purpose.
  • the wrist 2 of user 3 is supported in movable manner without a relative movement of the wrist 2 occurring relative to the wall of the balloon.
  • the user can move his wrist 2 to the left, wherein balloon 8 rolls as it were over the desk-top.
  • the pressure on the underside of the wrist 2 is herein distributed over the whole contact surface and is therefore low, whereby no pressure sites occur which could for instance obstruct the blood circulation.
  • the user can thus move his wrist reciprocally during operation of the keyboard 4 wherein the supports 1 continue to provide a uniform support.
  • a weight 9 is arranged on the bottom wall of balloon 8 which ensures that the balloon always rolls back into its starting position. As soon as the balloon has been rolled so far aside that the weight 9 moves upward, the weight and thereby the balloon are pulled back by the force of gravity.
  • velcro material 10 Arranged on the underside of the balloon in the embodiment of fig. 5 is velcro material 10 which is adhered to velcro material 11 fixed to the desk-top 5. The adhering means formed by the velcro material 10, 11 ensure that the support remains at the desired position.
  • the support according to the invention is not limited to the application described here. Other applications wherein it is desired to support an object such that it can move over a certain distance in determined directions fall within the scope of the appended claims.
