Programmer's chair

摘要

A chair for supporting a person above a floor surface and used with a split-keyboard includes a base, a seat, a backrest, and a pair of opposed armrests. Each armrest is vertically adjustable and includes a malleable upper arm support cushion and a rigid support beam. A distal end of the arm support cushion terminates at a wrist support such that the person's wrist height relative to their elbow height when seated may be adjusted. Each wrist support terminates in a keyboard rest and may be tilted so that the angle of the person's wrist when resting on the arm support cushion may be adjusted as well as the curvature of the arm support cushion. The keyboard rest is further adjustable with respect to the arm rest in terms of relative height, lateral and longitudinal distance, roll angle, tilt angle, and yaw angle.

主权项

1. A chair for supporting a person above a horizontal surface in a neutral position while utilizing a split computer keyboard, comprising:
a base adapted for resting upon the horizontal surface and a central vertical shaft projecting upward from the base; a seat mechanism having at a lower side thereof a shaft receiver adapted for receiving the central vertical shaft and at an upper side a support surface for the person's posterior while seated; a backrest mechanism attached at a bottom side thereof with the seat mechanism; and a pair of opposed armrest mechanisms projected away from opposing sides of the backrest mechanism, each armrest mechanism having a proximal end pivotally fixed with the backrest mechanism about a substantially vertical armrest post, and a distal end terminating in a keyboard rest mechanism, each keyboard rest mechanism for supporting one portion of the split computer keyboard; wherein each keyboard rest mechanism includes a first keyboard vertical adjustment plate and a second keyboard vertical adjustment plate, the first keyboard vertical adjustment plate selectively, slidably, and adjustably fixed with the second keyboard vertical adjustment plate with at least one keyboard vertical adjustment screw; whereby the person may pivot each armrest mechanism away from the chair in opposing directions to allow room for the person between the keyboard rest mechanisms for ingress or egress from the chair, and whereby the height of the keyboard rest mechanism with respect to the distal end of the armrest mechanism is selectively adjustable.
