专利说明:
[0001] The present invention relates generally to a computer peripheral equipment, and more particularly to a computer wrist pad which can be adjusted in height and hardness. [0001] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The conventional computer wrist pad is made of EVA foam body which is attached to a piece of cloth. There are keyboard wrist pad and mouse wrist pad. The computer wrist pad is intended to soothe the wrist of a computer user. However, the conventional computer wrist pad has a fixed hardness and a fixed thickness, which provide a little help in alleviating the pain or discomfort to the wrist of the computer user, in view of the fact that the operating motion of the computer is different from person to person, and that the arm weight differs from person to person. [0002] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0003] The primary objective of the present invention is to provide a computer wrist pad with means to adjust the hardness and the thickness of the computer wrist pad. [0003]
[0004] The computer wrist pad comprises a bottom seat, a soft outer layer, at least one air sac, and two side plates. The bottom seat is provided with a receiving space, which is sealed off by the two side plates. The air sac is disposed in the receiving space and is provided with an inflation port which is located in one of the side plates. The thickness and the hardness of the computer wrist pad are adjusted by the extent to which the air sac is inflated. [0004] BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0005] FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a first preferred embodiment of the present invention. [0005]
[0006] FIG. 2 shows a partial exploded view of the first preferred embodiment of the present invention. [0006]
[0007] FIG. 3 shows a sectional view taken along the direction indicated by a line [0007] 3-3 as shown in FIG. 1.

[0009] FIG. 5 shows a schematic view of the preferred embodiment of the present invention with the air sac being deflated. [0009]
[0010] FIG. 6 shows a sectional view of air sac and elastomer of a second preferred embodiment of the present invention. [0010]
[0011] FIG. 7 shows a perspective view of a third preferred embodiment of the present invention. [0011]
[0012] FIG. 8 shows a perspective view of a fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention. [0012] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0013] As shown in FIGS. [0013] 1-3, a computer wrist pad 10 embodied in the present invention comprises a bottom seat 12, an outer layer 14, two side plates 16 and 17, and four air sacs 18 in communication with one another.
[0014] The bottom seat [0014] 12 has a U-shaped cross section and is made of a plastic material by injection molding or a metal material. The bottom seat 12 is provided with an open-ended receiving space 22.
[0015] The outer layer [0015] 14 is formed of an elastic cloth 24 and a PU artificial sponge 26 attached to the underside of the elastic cloth 24. The outer layer 14 covers the top the bottom seat 12.
[0016] The two side plates [0016] 16 and 17 are disposed at two ends of the bottom seat 12 for sealing off the receiving space 22. The first side plate 16 is provided with a receiving port 28.
[0017] The air sacs [0017] 18 are made of PVC or PU and are disposed in the receiving space 22. The air sacs 18 are provided at one end with an inflation port 30 in communication with atmospheric air.
[0018] The computer wrist pad [0018] 10 further comprises a pressure diffusion layer 32, which is located between the outer layer 14 and the air sacs 18 and is made of EVA, PVC, PE, or PP. The pressure diffusion layer 32 is intended to transmit uniformly the pressure, which exerts on the top of the outer layer 14, to the air sacs 18. A skidproof layer 34 is disposed in the underside of the bottom seat 12 and is made of EVA, PE, PP, or rubberlike material.
[0019] The hardness and the thickness of the computer wrist pad [0019] 10 can be adjusted, as shown in FIG. 4, by inflating the air sacs 18 to result in an increase in hardness and thickness. In the meantime, the air sacs 18 can be appropriately deflated to result in a decrease in hardness and thickness of the pad 10, as shown in FIG. 5.
[0020] As shown in FIG. 6, a computer wrist pad [0020] 40 of the second preferred embodiment of the present invention is basically similar in construction to the computer wrist pad 10 described above, except that the former comprises air sacs 42 which are provided with an elastomer 44 of EVA, PVC, PE, PP, or rubberlike material. The elastomers 44 serve to support the wrist at the time when the air sacs 42 are not inflated.
[0021] As shown in FIG. 7, a computer wrist pad [0021] 50 of the third preferred embodiment of the present invention is provided with a platelike pad body 52 which has a greater area and is attached to the underside of the bottom seat (not shown in the drawing).
[0022] As shown in FIG. 8, a computer wrist pad [0022] 60 of the fourth preferred embodiment of the present invention is basically similar in construction to the pad 10, except that the former comprises a prior art inflation-deflation device 62, which is in communication with the air sacs and is provided with an inflation ball sac 64 and a deflation valve 66.
