Abstract
A knee pad includes a multiple layer elongate member conformed to fit over a knee. The middle layer comprises a rigid polymeric material with projecting arms that encircle the leg and clasp the knee pad thereon. An inner cushion layer and an outer semi rigid layer enhance the comfort of the knee pad. The flexible arms include a supplemental reinforcing rib and the arms are positioned so as to support the knee pad by engaging the leg of a wearer below the knee.
Claims31
A kneepad comprising:
- an elongate kneepad member formed from an elastomeric material which covers the front of a knee, the member having a front surface, a rear surface, upper half side portions and lower half side portions;
- and
- substantially rigid arms extending from the lower half side portions of the elongate member and rearwardly of the member such that in use, the arms grip around a wearer's leg below the knee extending only partly around the leg.
A kneepad comprising, in combination:
- an elongate knee pad member formed to fit over a knee and including a concave back surface and a front surface, a first side and a second side opposite the first side, said member including a rigid, molded layer, said rigid molded layer including at least two integrally molded, curved arms extending from at least one side and at least one integrally molded, curved arm extending from the other side, said arms generally aligned in opposed relation to clasp onto a leg.
A kneepad comprising, in combination:
- an elongate kneepad member having a front, a back, a first lower half side, a first upper half side, a second lower half side opposed to the first lower half side and a second upper half side opposed to the first upper half side, said back being concave to fit over a knee, said lower half sides each including an integral projecting, curved arm extending from the lower half side and over the backside to clasp a leg.
A kneepad comprising, in combination:
- an elongate kneepad member formed from a material which covers the front of the knee, the member having a front surface, a rear surface and two side portions, each side portion including a lower half, and at least two, substantially rigid arcuate arms extending from the lower half of each side portion and rearwardly of the elongate member such that in use the arms grip partially around the leg of a wearer below the knee.
A kneepad comprising, in combination:
- an elongate kneepad member having a front, a back, a first lower side having a side portion, a first upper side, a second lower side having a side portion opposed to the first lower side and a second upper side opposed to the first upper side, said back being concave to fit over a knee, said lower sides each including at least two integral projecting, curved arms extending from the first and second lower side portions and over the back side to clasp a leg.
A kneepad comprising, in combination:
- an elongate kneepad member having a front, a back, a first lower side, a first upper side, a second lower side opposed to the first lower side and a second upper side opposed to the first upper side, said back being concave to fit over a knee, said lower sides each including an integral projecting, curved arm extending from the respective lower sides and over the back side to clasp a leg, at least one arm including a reinforcing rib.
A kneepad comprising, in combination:
- an elongate kneepad member formed to fit over a knee and including a concave back surface and a front surface, a first lower half side and a second lower half side opposite said first lower half side, said member including a rigid molded layer, said rigid molded layer including at least one integrally molded, curved arm extending from each of the first and second lower half sides and aligned to clasp onto a leg below the knee.
