Abstract
A knee guard (10) is a substantially elongated rectangular foam member (14) that has a protuberance disposed thereon. That protuberance is formed as a matter of convenience into a V-shape (16). Knee guard (10) has an elongated flexible sheet foldable across its width and covering elongated foam member (14) and V-shaped protuberance (16a and 16b). The sheet (18) has perimeter edges sewn together thereby securing foam member (14) within the folded sheet. A strap (20) is connectively disposed onto sheet (18) thereby retaining knee guard (10) about the knee of an intended user.
