Abstract
An adjustable wrist rest support for the wrist of a user engaged in repetitive motions of the fingers and hands, which wrist rest support comprises a support section having a top surface area with a shape to provide support to the wrist of a user, a base section, and a height adjusting platform therebetween snap-fitted together to provide for the selected slidable adjustment of the vertical height of the support section by the user relative to the base section to place the support section in a selected position for use in front of a computer keyboard on a work surface. The top support section has a wrist-cushioning sheet material placed over the top surface area and secured with inner reinforcing ribs, the material optionally having antistatic properties and connected to a metal clip, wire and ground. The height adjusting platform includes a handle for slidable lateral movement by the user to adjust the vertical height of the support section from the base section and has corrugation friction-engaging means on its lower surface that retains the platform in its vertical height position when placed in contact with the corrugated surface on the top section of the base.
