Handauflage zur Bedienung einer Computertastatur:Hand rest for operating a computer keyboard:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Handauflage zur Bedienung einer Computertastatur gemäß den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruch 1.The invention relates to a hand rest for operating a computer keyboard according to the features of the preamble of claim 1.
Durch die DE 3402786 ist eine starre Handauflage bekannt, die an ihrer dem Benutzer abgewandten Längsseite gelenkig mit der Computertastatur verbunden ist, um die Computertastatur in &iacgr;&ogr; verschiedenen Winkeln zur Handauflage einstellen zu können. Die starre Handauflage bewirkt bei längerem Schreiben Schmerzen in den aufliegenden Teilen der Handgelenke. Wird die Tastatur in einem Winkel kleiner als 90° zur Handauflage eingestellt, werden die Handgelenke außerdem nach oben gebogen.DE 3402786 describes a rigid hand rest which is connected to the computer keyboard on its long side facing away from the user, so that the computer keyboard can be adjusted to different angles in relation to the hand rest. The rigid hand rest causes pain in the resting parts of the wrists when typing for a long time. If the keyboard is adjusted to an angle of less than 90° in relation to the hand rest, the wrists are also bent upwards.
Durch das Geschmacksmuster M 9300967.4 ist eine Handauflage in Verbindung mit der Tastatur bekannt, wobei die Handauflage aus einem plastisch verformbaren Material besteht, so daß sich die aufliegenden Handgelenke nach längerer Schreibaktivität bis zur harten Grundplatte eingraben und dort aufliegen. Dies hat bei längerem Schreiben Schmerzen in den aufliegenden Teilen der Handgelenke zur Folge.The design patent M 9300967.4 discloses a hand rest in connection with the keyboard, whereby the hand rest is made of a plastically deformable material, so that after a long period of typing, the wrists resting on it dig into the hard base plate and rest there. This results in pain in the resting parts of the wrists when typing for a long period.
Weiterhin ist auf dem Markt eine "Tastatur-Handgelenkauflage" der Fa. Pelikan bekannt. Diese keilförmige Handauflage ist ebenfalls starr und bewirkt bei längerem Schreiben, daß die aufliegenden Teile der Handgelenke schmerzen.There is also a "keyboard wrist rest" from Pelikan on the market. This wedge-shaped hand rest is also rigid and causes pain in the resting parts of the wrists when typing for a long time.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es eine Handauflage der eingangs genannten Art derart auszubilden, daß die Nachteile der bekannten Handauflagen vermieden sind und insbesondere erreicht wird, daß die benützende Person von selbst dazu hingeführt wird, eine physiologisch richtige, den Rücken auf die Dauer nicht schädigende Haltung einzunehmen.The object of the invention is to design a hand rest of the type mentioned at the beginning in such a way that the disadvantages of the known hand rests are avoided and in particular the user is led to adopt a physiologically correct posture that does not damage the back in the long term.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausführungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Merkmalen der Unteransprüche.The object is achieved according to the invention with the characterizing features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the invention emerge from the features of the subclaims.
In der nachstehenden Beschreibung ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wiedergegeben, die in einer Zeichnung schematisch dargestellt ist. Hierin zeigtThe following description shows an embodiment of the invention, which is shown schematically in a drawing.
Fig. 1 eine perspektivische Ansicht von oben, Fig. 2 eine Draufsicht undFig. 1 is a perspective view from above, Fig. 2 is a plan view and
Fig. 3 eine Seitenansicht von links.Fig. 3 a side view from the left.
Wie in Fig. 1 ersichtlich, besteht die Erfindung aus einer Grundplatte (1), auf der die Computertastatur (6) steht.As can be seen in Fig. 1, the invention consists of a base plate (1) on which the computer keyboard (6) stands.
Zwischen Tastatur (6) und Benutzer befindet sich, auf der Grundplatte {1) befestigt, ein Bauteil {2) aus elastischem, mit Stoff überzogenem Schaum. Dieses Bauteil (2) ist ebenso wie die Tastatur (6) aus ergonomischen Gründen geneigt. Wie in Fig. 2 ersichtlich, sind in der Position der optimalen Hand-Unterarm-Steilung (Zehnfingertechnik, Zeigefinger der linken, bzw. rechten Hand auf der F- bzw. J-Taste) zwei Mulden (5) zur Aufnahme der Handgelenke und Teilen der Unterarme angebracht. Unterarmteile und Handgelenke liegen dadurch die größte Zeit der Schreibaktivität so eingebettet, daß die EbeneBetween the keyboard (6) and the user, there is a component (2) made of elastic foam covered with fabric, attached to the base plate (1). This component (2) is inclined for ergonomic reasons, just like the keyboard (6). As can be seen in Fig. 2, two recesses (5) for accommodating the wrists and parts of the forearms are provided in the position of the optimal hand-forearm inclination (ten-finger technique, index finger of the left or right hand on the F or J key). Forearm parts and wrists are thus embedded for most of the time during typing activity, so that the plane

(10), die von Ellen und Speichen gebildet wird, parallel zur Tischebene (8) ist (siehe Fig. 3). Dies hat zur Folge, daß der Benutzer automatisch (ohne unangenehmen Zwang) durch Sitzhöhenverstellung eine gesundheitlich optimale Sitzhaltung mit aufrechter Wirbelsäule einnimmt. Diese Einbettung in die Mulden (5) ist ohne Zwanggefühl und kann problemlos seitwärts verlassen werden, da der Kunststoffschaum weich ist und die Mulden (5) eine ergonomisch optimale Tiefe aufweisen. Der Schaum ist elastisch, so daß das Bauteil (2) auch nach dauerhafter(10), which is formed by the ulna and spokes, is parallel to the table plane (8) (see Fig. 3). This means that the user automatically (without unpleasant constraint) adopts a healthy sitting position with an upright spine by adjusting the seat height. This embedding in the recesses (5) does not give a feeling of constraint and can be easily left sideways, as the plastic foam is soft and the recesses (5) have an ergonomically optimal depth. The foam is elastic, so that the component (2) can be used even after long periods of use.
&iacgr;&ogr; Benutzung formstabil bleibt, und so weich, daß die Unterarmteile und die Handgelenke nicht tiefer als einige Millimeter einsinken.&iacgr;&ogr; remains dimensionally stable during use, and so soft that the forearms and wrists do not sink deeper than a few millimeters.
Die hohe Flächenpressung, die beim Schreiben ohne Handauflage durch die punktuelle Auflage des Handgelenks auf der Tischplatte oder beim Schreiben mit starrer Handauflage entsteht, wird durch die flächige Aufnahme in den Mulden (5) und durch den weichen elastischen Schaum reduziert.The high surface pressure that occurs when writing without a hand rest due to the point-like resting of the wrist on the table top or when writing with a rigid hand rest, is reduced by the surface absorption in the recesses (5) and by the soft elastic foam.
Die Grundplatte (1) ist rechts neben Tastatur (6) und Bauteil (2) um eine in der ergonomisch richtigen Position befindliche 0 Bedienungsfläche (3) für eine Computermaus (7) erweitert (für Rechtshänder), weil es auf vollen Schreibtischflächen in der Regel schwierig ist eine freie, glatte und ebene Fläche zum Verschieben einer Computermaus zu finden. An der Hinterkante der Grundplatte (1) ist eine Klemme (4) angebracht, in welche das Mauskabel geklemmt wird. Diese Klemme (4) wirkt als Zugentlastung und nimmt das Eigengewicht des Mauskabels auf. Ein unangenehmer unterschiedlicher Kraftaufwand beim Ziehen und beim Schieben der Maus wird dadurch vermieden.The base plate (1) is extended to the right of the keyboard (6) and component (2) by an ergonomically correct operating surface (3) for a computer mouse (7) (for right-handed people), because it is usually difficult to find a free, smooth and level surface on crowded desks to move a computer mouse. A clamp (4) is attached to the rear edge of the base plate (1) into which the mouse cable is clamped. This clamp (4) acts as a strain relief and takes the weight of the mouse cable. This avoids unpleasant differences in the amount of force required when pulling and pushing the mouse.
