Keyboard positioning system

A keyboard positioning system in which the keyboard is positioned with its rear edge substantially lower than its forward, or operator edge in order that the operator might use the keyboard with the plane of the operator's hands parallel to, or below the line of the operator's forearm, thus reducing the incidence of carpal tunnel syndrome. A hand support bar is provided to support the operator's hands while keyboarding. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION This invention is a keyboard positioning system which allows the keyboard to be positioned so that it is tipped backward.
By "tipped backward" is meant that the rear edge, or plane, which is away from the operator, is below the forward edge, or edge closest to the operator.
By orienting the keyboard in this way, the position of the operator's hand can be moved at least to the point where the plane of the hand is parallel to the line of the lower arm, thereby eliminating the stress which leads to the carpal tunnel syndrome.
It has been found that, in fact, it is sometimes preferred to allow the plane of the wrist to be positioned slightly downward of the line of the lower arm.
In fact, the operators have found this to be a very comfortable position in which to function.
Obviously, this position is probably not acceptable to amateur keyboard operators since the visibility of the keyboard, a matter which would be important to amateurs, would be somewhat inhibited.
Furthermore, the keyboard positioning system would be provided with a support bar which supports the operator's hands over the keyboard.
In the preferred orientation, the bar would be positioned in front of and below the front edge of the keyboard and would engage the large fleshy portion which lies at the base of the palm of the operator's hands, hereinafter proximal palm portion.
The ideal is a "neutral " position.
A keyboard positioning system for holding a keyboard in a position with respect to a base and relative to a human operator.
The keyboard positioning system comprises a bracket adapted to be clamped to the keyboard and a positioning bracket adapted to connect the clamping bracket to the base and adapted to be oriented with respect to the clamping bracket in such a way that when the positioning bracket is in place, the clamping bracket can be positioned so that the keyboard is positioned with its rear edge lower than its forward edge.
The keyboard positioning system further comprises a hand support bar provided at the operator end of the system in order to support the operator's hands so that the fingers are supported above the plane of the keyboard
