Abstract

Cette invention se rapporte à un dispositif repose-poignet portable (10) conçu pour être utilisé avec des dispositifs de saisie d'ordinateur, tels que des souris et des claviers d'ordinateur et qui comprend à cet effet un coussinet repose-poignet (12) servant à réduire les tensions musculaires du poignet et de l'avant-bras de l'utilisateur, ainsi qu'un moyen permettant de fixer de façon détachable le coussinet repose-poignet (12) sur le côté palmaire du poignet de l'utilisateur, tout en laissant les doigts, la main et le poignet complètement libres de se déplacer dans leur zone de mouvement naturelle. Ce coussinet repose-poignet (12) peut être fabriqué à partir d'un matériau de rembourrage, par exemple en caoutchouc mousse, en éponge, en déchets de soie organiques/séchés ou en plumes de duvet. Ce coussinet repose-poignet (12) peut également comporter un garnissage extérieur (20) ou peut être étanche à l'air, antistatique et résistant à l'eau, pour pouvoir contenir de l'air et de l'eau comme matériau de rembourrage. Le matériau de rembourrage surélève le poignet de l'utilisateur par rapport à la surface d'appui, dans une position neutre qui élimine les contraintes subies par le poignet et l'avant-bras pendant l'utilisation de la souris et/ou la frappe sur un clavier. Le matériau de rembourrage de ce coussinet repose-poignet (12) sert également à absorber les vibrations des mouvements des doigts, du poignet, de la main et de l'avant-bras qui sont produites lorsque l'utilisateur manipule une souris d'ordinateur ou tape sur un clavier.
