Wrist Cushion Device

Abstract

The wrist cushion device supports the wrist with a plastic housing and is lined with a thick layer of foam substance covered in a neoprene or similar material. The user is able to lock their wrist into the device and be able to move freely with little or no friction to be used at or on any smooth surface. The device is applicable for use of computer use in using a keyboard and mouse and not limited to but for even artists for drawing where repetitive movements are common.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional patent application No. 61 / 906,123 filed Nov. 19, 2013.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention generally relates to devices for alleviation and or prevention of carpal tunnel syndrome. More particularly, the present invention is in the technical field of Wrist Cushion devices for people who routinely engage in activities that involve repetitive movements of the hand and wrist such as with a computer keyboard in combination with and not limited to a computer mouse.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Prolonged use of primarily computer devices such as a mouse or keyboard for an extensive period of time can cause repetitive restriction in a persons wrist which could lead to various stages or carpal tunnel syndrome.[0004]Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve, which runs from the forearm into the palm of the hand, becomes pressed or squeezed at the wrist. The median ner...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent is for a wearable mouse cushion that allows users to move freely and glide across smooth surfaces with little friction. It supports the wrists and remains parallel to the arm tendons, elevated from the surface. The device can be locked into the user's wrist using foam and a plastic tab to prevent the wrist from moving in the opposite direction. Additionally, the device can be used with different orientations of the user's wrist, making it more comfortable and durable. The patent aims to provide a better design for users with various wrist sizes.

Problems solved by technology

Prolonged use of primarily computer devices such as a mouse or keyboard for an extensive period of time can cause repetitive restriction in a persons wrist which could lead to various stages or carpal tunnel syndrome.

The result may be pain, weakness, or numbness in the hand and wrist, radiating up the arm.

It is in most cases, products that support the wrist for ergonomic reasons where the devises are stationary which are not efficient and can cause discomfort and other types of medical issues.

As a stationary device the bean bag type of material is the most common but it very restrictive and causes limited movement which can cause a great deal of discomfort and not be very effective.

This not being a convenient way for any user since the computer devices mentioned above require continuous movement when using the products.
