The support member (120) includes a support main body (121) made of an extendable material. The support main body (121) extends along the outer surfaces of the bottom portion (113) and the both side portions (111), is spaced apart from the bottom portion (113) in the upward direction so as to extend in the width direction between the both side portions (111), and forms a closed loop. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A wrist support apparatus for computer work comprising: a main body (110) which is a frame; and a support member (120), wherein the main body (110) includes a bottom portion (113) and side portions (111) which extend upwardly from both sides of the width direction of the bottom portion (113), wherein the support member (120) includes a support body (121) made of an extensible material, wherein the support member (120) extends along an outer surface of the bottom portion (113) and the both side portions (111), spaced upwardly from the bottom portion (110), and extending in the width direction between the side portions (111) to form a closed loop, wherein the support member (120) further includes a support extension portion (122), which is made of an extensible material, and of which both sides of the width direction are coupled to the support body (121), and wherein the support extension portion (122) is disposed above the support body (121), and includes a wearing portion (S) formed above the support body (121) so that the user can insert the hand between the support extension portion (122) and the support body (121) to wear the wrist support apparatus. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The wrist support apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the support member (120) further includes a first coupling means (123), and the first coupling means (123) includes a first coupling portion (123a) provided on a surface facing the support body (121) at the end portion of the support extension portion (122), and a second coupling portion (123b) detachably coupled to the first coupling portion (123a) and provided on an outer surface of the support body (121) outward from one of the side portions (111), and wherein both width-directional sides of the support extension portion (122) are coupled to the support body (121) when the first coupling portion (123a) and the second coupling portion (123b) are coupled to each other. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The wrist support apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the support member (120) further includes a closed loop coupling means (125), and the closed loop coupling means (125) includes: a first closed loop coupling portion (125b) provided on an outer surface of one end portion of the support body (121); and a second closed loop coupling portion (125a) spaced apart from the first closed loop coupling portion (125b) in the longitudinal direction of the support body (121) to be disposed on the opposite side of the first closed loop coupling portion (125b), and detachably coupled to the first closed loop coupling portion (125b), and wherein the support body (121) forms a closed loop when the first closed loop coupling portion (125b) and the second closed loop coupling portion (125a) are coupled with each other. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The wrist support apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the side portions (111) respectively have mounting holes (111a) formed in the lateral direction to be spaced upwardly apart from the bottom portion (113), the support body (121) passes through the mounting holes (111a) of side portions (111), and the first closed loop coupling portion (125b) and the second closed loop coupling portion (125a) are coupled to each other to form a closed loop. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The wrist support apparatus according to claim 4, wherein a plurality of mounting holes (111a) are formed in the side portions (111) to be spaced apart from each other in the up-and-down direction. ### Claim 6 (depends on 3) The wrist support apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the support member (120) further includes a first coupling means (123), and the first coupling means (123) includes a first coupling portion (123a) provided on a surface facing the support body (121) at the end portion of the support extension portion (122), and a second coupling portion (123b) detachably coupled to the first coupling portion (123a) and provided on an outer surface of the support body (121) outward from one of the side portion (111), and wherein both width-directional sides of the support extension portion (122) are coupled to the support body (121) when the first coupling portion (123a) and the second coupling portion (123b) are coupled to each other. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The wrist support apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the side portions (111) respectively have body extension portions (111f) extending upwardly from both upper sides, and a portion upwardly spaced from the bottom portion (113) of the support body (121) passes between the body extension portions (111f) of the side portions (111). ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The wrist support apparatus according to claim 7, wherein the side portions (111) further respectively include body protrusions (111g) which inwardly extend in a back-and-forth direction at end portions of the body extension portions (111f) so that the end portions are spaced apart from each other and face each other, and a portion of the support body (121) spaced upwardly from the bottom portion (113) and extending in the width direction between the side portions (111) is located below the body protrusions (111g). ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The wrist support apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a cushion member, wherein the cushion member (160) includes a support body portion (121-2) upwardly spaced apart from the bottom portion (113) and extending between the side portions (111) in the width direction.
