    摘要: A movable support arm positions a surface platform for a keyboard, display monitor, pointing device, wrist support or the like relative to a base structure such as the underside of a desk top. Articulated members between a base member and the platform are coupled by joints having rotational couplings on two mutually perpendicular axes, forming universal joints. The joints have axially facing rotational engagement surfaces that can be splined or otherwise made engageable, and are displaceable toward and away from one another, the latter preferably by a spring coupling that is axially limited in extension. The rotational engagement surfaces resist rotation when engaged. A line such as a cable traverses the joints and normally applies tension via a spring, causing all the joints to lock and to hold the supporting platform at a given position and orientation. A manually operable control is provided to extend the length of the line and disengage all the joints simultaneously, whereupon the support platform can be moved freely to a new position anywhere in a three dimensional range, as well as tilted, etc. The control is released at the new position to again hold the platform in place.

The line runs centrally through the joints. A counterbalance spring and line are displaced from the centerline, the cable winding around a horizontal one of the joints to vary tension on the spring for offsetting part of the weight of the support.

    摘要: A support apparatus has dual, or left and right, palm rests. The apparatus is positionable to support an item like a keyboard in various inclined positions. The dual palm rests are mounted separately on a common carriage that slides in a plane back and forth relative to a front edge of an item on the apparatus. The manner of mounting the palm rests permits each palm rest to swivel about a generally vertical swivel axis and, additionally, move hingeally about a hinge axis that extends in a plane generally perpendicular to the associated swivel axis. The palm rests are connected to sets of torsion springs or the like to normally bias the palm rests about both the swivel axes and the hinge axes for clamping. Likewise, the sliding action of the carriage is preferably normally biased for clamping as well. Overall, the carriage, dual palm rests and biasing cooperatively effect a multiply adjustable clamping action on the from edge of the item. The support apparatus optionally includes a dual side-pad assembly positionable in either left or right use positions, or in a storage position. Each side panel is independently inclinable, and can carry a clip-on wrist rest. The side panels provide surfaces for use, for example, with a cursor positioning device like a mouse or a trackball. For the cursor positioning device, there is also a storage device which is removably attachable to the edges of the support apparatus, for releasably storing the cursor positioning device during non-use.

    摘要: A task lamp with a housing having a lower end adapted to rest on a support surface, a distal end located above the surface, and a light source at or near the distal end of the housing. The lower end of the housing has at least two angled surfaces that are adapted to rest on the support surface, one at a time, so as to support the light source at a particular location relative to the angled surface, where the location is different for each angled surface.

    摘要: A keyboard support having a generally flat keyboard supporting surface and a track extending along an outer periphery of the keyboard support. A mouse support has a generally flat mouse supporting surface and is coupled to the keyboard support by a track follower that engages the track for movement along the track. A coupling arm engages the track follower and allows pivoting of the mouse support with respect to the keyboard support.
