Therapeutic mouse pad
First Claim
1. A mouse pad for use with computer peripherals and the like, said mouse pad comprising:
- a body including planar top and bottom surfaces having a fixed spatial relationship, said body further having a continuous and hollow cavity intercalated between said top and bottom surfaces and extending between opposed end portions of said body;
a rotatable flange having a dome shape suitably sized for fitting within a palm of an operator'"'"'s hand, said flange having a bottom section statically and directly conjoined to said top surface of said body, said flange further having a top section directly and rotatably conjoined to said bottom section wherein the operator can selectively bias said top section of said flange about a vertical axis registered orthogonal to said body, said bottom section having a diameter greater than said top section for supporting said top section upwardly and away from said top surface of said body;
means for heating said flange during operating conditions, said heating means being directly connected to said top section of said flange and including a controller directly conjoined to an outer perimeter of said body; and
means for oscillating said flange about a horizontal axis registered parallel to said top surface of said body such that said flange tilts side-to-side and against a bottom surface of an operator wrist during operating conditions;
wherein said heating means and said oscillating means are independently and simultaneously operable.

Abstract
A mouse pad includes a body with planar top and bottom surfaces and a cavity intercalated therebetween that extends between opposed body ends. A rotatable flange has a dome shape for fitting within a user'"'"'s palm. The flange is offset from a center of the body, has a bottom section conjoined to the body top surface, and is seated adjacent to a proximal body edge. The flange has a top section rotatably conjoined to the bottom section. The bottom section has a greater diameter than the top section for effectively. A mechanism is included for heating the flange that is connected to the flange top section and includes a controller conjoined to the body. A mechanism is included for oscillating the flange so that the flange tilts side-to-side and against a bottom surface of an operator wrist. The heating mechanism and the oscillating mechanism are independently and simultaneously operable.
