Wrist relaxer for computer keyboards and other equipment requiring repetitive hand operation

Claim 1

A support apparatus for use with a hand used equipment, the apparatus comprising; a base having a length and a width defining a surface of the base; a plurality of spaced apart end support members fixed to the surface of the base and extending upwardly therefrom; a plurality of elongate, rod shaped rollers arranged in mutually parallel juxtaposition and rotationally engaged with the end support members, the rollers being positioned at a common height above the surface of the base, each of the rollers being adapted for free rotation about a longitudinal axis thereof; each of the rod shaped rollers providing a cylindrical outer covering containing a ferromagnetic material, the outer covering being permanently magnetized so as to produce a static magnetic field having magnetic field lines extending in circumferential adjacency to the outer covering; whereby with the support apparatus placed on a work surface, the rollers are in position for supporting the arms, wrists and bands in forward and backward thrusting movements therewith and for supporting the arms, wrists and hands in lateral sliding movements thereon, the forward and backward thrusting movements causing the arms, wrists and hands to move through magnetic field gradients between a magnetic north and a magnetic south positions on the rollers for therapeutic benefit.
