Portable work support and keyboard/mouse tray and work station and tethered chair

摘要

A portable work support device and support for a key board and a pointing device, such as a mouse, for use by occupants of reclining capable office chairs having an adjustable fitted footrest assembly connected to the chair that will provide the seated chair user the ability to achieve a desired pelvis/feet triangulation stabilization effect while reclined by having the seated user's feet placed correctly in an attached footrest thereby producing a tactile input or cue that will lead to the desired muscle or motor output, causing the seated user to actually sit all the way back in the chair, and to be in a posture biomechanically neutral for using and working on the portable work support device, a work station removably housing the portable work support device, and a foot rest assembly to which a chair can be tethered so that a computer user can be properly positioned in a reclining position in the chair and have reduced posture issues when using the work support device while using computer or like equipment.

主权项

1. A portable lap supported keyboard and mouse tray comprising a base having a top surface, a bottom surface, opposing side edges, and proximal and distal edges, the top surface having upper and lower portions, the upper portion having a recessed central area bounded by a first raised wall portion extending along at least a portion of the distal edge, a second and third raised wall extending respectively along opposing side edges of the recessed central area, and by a fourth raised wall extending across the tray at a boundary defined between the upper and lower portions, by a distal side of a raised top surface of the lower portion formed from a soft material, and a proximal edge having an inwardly curved portion and a pair of spaced apart outwardly extending projections serving as arm supports, and a body conforming support member secured to the bottom surface and being at least partially filled with body conforming material so as to position the tray in an ergonomic manner on a lap of a user thereby permitting the user to sit in a fully reclined position in a chair while using the keyboard and mouse.
