Title: Knee protectors
Inventor: JACKSON ROBERT
IPC: A41D13/06
Filed: 2007-05-16
Abstract: A knee protector (10) has a cushioned pad (12), straps (16,18) or the like for attaching the pad to the user's knee so that the pad covers the user's knee, and a shell (14) attached to and covering the pad so that an outer surface of the shell engages the ground when the user is kneeling.
