Abstract
A guide assembly useful in restraining the vertical writing excursions of those with impaired muscular control includes a generally orthogonal frame supporting one or more stretched elastic bands spaced adjacent the horizontal leg of the frame. The vertical leg is then used for alignment along the edge of the writing surface.
Claims15
Apparatus for restraining the writing strokes of a person, comprising:
- a generally planar frame defined by a horizontal member joined at one end thereof to a corresponding end of a vertical member, the other end of said horizontal member including a planar projection extending in spaced relationship along said vertical member;
- and
- an elastic band secured at one end to said projection and stretched to engage said vertical member in a generally parallel spaced alignment relative said horizontal member.
Apparatus for restraining the writing strokes of a person, comprising:
- a generally planar frame defined by a horizontal member joined at one end thereof to a corresponding end of a vertical member, the other end of said horizontal member including a planar projection extending in spaced relationship along said vertical member;
- and
- a plurality of elastic bands each secured in spaced separation relative the others at a corresponding one ends thereof to said projection and stretched to engage in equally spaced separation said vertical member in a generally parallel alignment relative said horizontal member.
An assembly useful to cooperatively form a guide for restraining the writing strokes of a person, comprising:
- a generally planar vertical piece including a longitudinal edge;
- a generally planar horizontal piece including a longitudinal edge and conformed for selective overlying attachment at one end thereof to one end of said vertical piece and including a planar projection and an offset at the other end thereof;
- and
- an elastic band secured at one end to said projection and stretched to engage said vertical piece in a generally parallel spaced alignment relative said horizontal piece.
