Abstract
A keyboard guide is disclosed herein having a substantially rectangular frame. The frame has a front and back wall interconnected by two side walls. The guide also includes at least one divider, coupled between the front and back wall, having a top edge leaning toward the side wall that is closest thereto, to form an angle with respect to a vertical orientation. The keyboard guide may also include at least one indicator, positioned on the divider, to indicate a key location. In one embodiment, the indicator is a bump on a side of the divider. The keyboard guide may also include a central divider, coupled between the front and back walls, having a substantially vertical orientation along a top and bottom edge. The guide may also include right-side and left-side dividers, on opposite sides of the central divider respectively.
Claims33
A keyboard guide, for assisting users in locating keys on a keyboard, comprising:
- a) a substantially rectangular frame, having:
- i) a front wall having a first height and a first top edge;
- ii) a back wall having a second height that is greater than the first height, and a second top edge;
- and
- iii) two side walls, each having a third and fourth top edge respectively, interconnecting the front and back walls, such that the top edges of the side walls are substantially flush with the top edges of the front and back walls;
- b) a central divider, coupled to the front and back walls, having a substantially vertical orientation along a top edge of the central divider and a bottom edge of the central divider;
- c) at least one right-side divider, coupled to the front and back walls, where the at least one right-side divider is on a right side of the central divider, and the at least one right-side divider has a first leaning top edge that forms a first angle away from the central divider;
- d) at least one left-side divider, coupled to the front and back walls, where the at least one left-side divider is on a left side of the central divider, and the at least one left-side divider has a second leaning top edge that forms a second angle away from the central divider;
- and
- e) at least one indicator, positioned on a side of at least one divider, to indicate a key location.
A keyboard guide, for assisting users in locating keys on a keyboard, comprising:
- a) a substantially rectangular frame, having a vertically oriented front and back wall interconnected by two vertically oriented side walls;
- and
- b) at least one divider, coupled between the front and back wall, having a top edge leaning toward the respective vertically oriented side wall that is closest thereto, to form an angle with respect to the vertically oriented side wall.
A keyboard guide, for assisting users in locating keys on a keyboard, comprising:
- a) a frame, having a front and back wall, and a first and second side wall interconnecting the front and back;
- b) a first divider, coupled between the front and back walls, closer to the first side wall than to the second side wall, and having a first top edge positioned toward the first side wall at a first angle;
- and
- c) a second divider, coupled between the front and back walls, closer to the first side wall than the first divider, and having a second top edge positioned toward the first side wall at a second angle that is greater than the first angle.
