Abstract
Abstract This is a biplaner structure that was fashioned to give arm support during keyboard operation, product assembly and craftwork. It consists of a base (2) connected at a joint to an arm rest (1). The base (2) is of sufficient area to provide for individual differences in size and work placement preference of operators. The arm rest provides support above the work plane to the arms of the operator and below the work plane to act as an anchor to secure the unit. The unit has one moving part, a roller (5) which rotates freely on an axis, on one end of arm rest (1). This roller (5) provides the same support as the arm rest (1) while operating external computer accessories.
