The Ergo CB, an Ergonomically Designed Clipboard from Jared Joyce

I’ve shared some products from inventor Jared Joyce with you before, however this ergonomically designed clipboard was actually the very first of his cool office supplies that I ever came across. As with many of his other inventions, you can check out the Ergo CB on the social media product development site Quirky.com.

The Ergo CB Product Sheet Shows how it Fits Comfortable for People of all Sizes

The great thing about the Ergo CB is that it improves upon the decades old and unchanged clipboard by making it much more comfortable to use with its carefully designed ergonomic curves. Each of the curves (as seen in the photo above) is designed to make the clipboard fit comfortably between your hand and the inside of your wrist or forearm depending on how tall you are. Notice that with each different height measurement on the clipboard images, the hand and inner arm are positioned differently. The different positions where you can grip and rest the clipboard are based on careful measurements of people of multiple different height ranges and the average arm lengths of people in those groups. The most obvious benefit of this design is that it provides firm support for the user while they write on it because it takes what was previously a flat edge resting on the curved surface of your arm, and it creates contours that fit to the curves of your arm.

Like the other products from Jared Joyce, I have not yet had the opportunity to use this, but seeing the video of it on Quirky was enough to convince me for now that this product is a game changer for anyone who spends a lot of time with a clipboard. Check out the Ergo CB on Quirky.com so you can provide your own feedback on the product development process and in turn have the opportunity to be rewarded with “influence” points that can let you earn a percent of the product’s future revenue.
