Abstract
The hand support device comprises a structure mounted to a bathroom wall over the commode or urinal. The support device comprises a generally flat base portion and a horizontally extending adjustable post mechanism attached to the base portion. Adjustable post mechanism is mounted between a palm contact substrate and a brace. The post mechanism includes a hollow horizontal tube having a horizontal rod adjustably disposed within the tube. The tube is formed with a plurality of apertures of a diameter for selectively receiving a spring-loaded pin formed on a surface of the rod to establish a plurality of hand support positions. One end of the adjustment rod contains a ball bearing embedded within a brace partially in the base plate thereby allowing the post to pivot about a vertical and horizontal axis.
