Patent ID: 6932304

Claim:
A wrist support device for supporting a wrist of a user when the user is using a computer mouse, the wrist supporting device comprising: a base member being adapted for being selectively coupled to the computer mouse; a cushion member being coupled to said base member such that said cushion member extends upwardly from said base member, said cushion member being adapted for supporting the wrist of the user to reduce the stress on the wrist of the user when a hand of the user is positioned on the computer mouse; said base member comprising a receiving aperture, said receiving aperture extending through said base member, said receiving aperture being adapted for receiving the computer mouse such that said base member extends around a periphery of a lower portion of the computer mouse, said base member being adapted for frictionally engaging the computer mouse to selectively couple said base member to the computer mouse, said receiving aperture being adapted for permitting the computer mouse to function when said base member is coupled to the computer mouse; a base layer being coupled to a bottom surface of said base member, said base layer being adapted for abutting against a support surface such that said base layer slides across the support surface when the computer mouse is being moved by the user; said base layer comprising a low friction material, said low friction material being adapted for sliding easily across the support surface to minimize resistance to the movement of the computer mouse when the computer mouse is being used by the user; said cushion member being arcuate such that said cushion member extends between opposing side edges of said base member, said cushion member being adapted for supporting the wrist of the user from a variety of angles of the wrist with respect to the computer mouse; said cushion member being positioned adjacent a rear edge of said base member, said cushion member being positioned in spaced relationship from said receiving aperture of said base member to allow a heel of the hand of the user to be positioned between the computer mouse and said cushion member for greater comfort when the user is using the computer mouse; said cushion member comprising a compressible material, said compressible material being adapted for conforming to the wrist of the user to provide support and comfort for the wrist of the user when the user is using the computer mouse; and said base member extending continuously about said receiving aperture to encircle the periphery of the computer mouse when the computer mouse is positioned in said receiving aperture, said base member being for inhibiting the computer mouse from inadvertently exiting said receiving aperture when the computer mouse is in use.
