Knee Protection Device

摘要

A knee protection device includes congruently joined outer and inner cover members having cooperatively disposed arcuate configured portions disposed to minimize engagement between strap portions of the outer and inner cover members with a back portion of a knee portion of a leg of a person using the device. The device further includes an outer pad member fabricated from relatively pliable material and disposed adjacent to the outer cover member, and an inner pad member fabricated from relatively more pliable material than the outer pad member and disposed between the outer pad member and the inner cover member. The positions of the outer and inner pad members, relative to the outer and inner cover members, are maintained by thread inserted through the outer and inner cover members and adjacent to the pad members after the pad members have been centrally disposed between the cover members. The cover members are peripherally joined together, and hook and loop members are secured to end portions of the cover members to enable the end portions of the cover members to ultimately be secured about the back portion of the knee portion of the leg of a person using the device.

主权项

1. Knee protection device comprising:
an outer cover member having cooperatively disposed arcuate configured portions; an inner cover member having cooperatively disposed arcuate configured portions, said cooperating arcuate configured portions of said outer and inner cover members being congruently joined and disposed to minimize engagement between strap portions of said outer and inner cover members with a back portion of a knee portion of a leg of a person using said device; an outer pad member fabricated from a relatively high density, deformable, resilient material, said outer pad member being disposed adjacent to said outer cover member; an inner pad member fabricated from a relatively low density, deformable, resilient material, said inner pad member being disposed between said outer pad member and said inner cover member; means for maintaining the position of said outer and inner pad members relative to said outer and inner cover members; means for integrally joining together peripheral portions of said outer and inner cover members; and means for securing said outer and inner cover members about the knee portion of the leg of the person using said device, whereby said outer and inner pad members are configured to form about the knee portion to protect front and side portions of the user's knee portion simultaneously with said outer and inner cover members being configured to minimize engagement between said outer and inner cover members and the back portion of the user's knee.
