Abstract:
A knee pad for engagement to a user in an as-worn position with a cavity defined by an interior surface surrounding a knee of a user. A plurality of projections extend from the body of the knee pad and are made of compressible material to provide a cushioned support to the knees and prevent rolling of the knee pad during use.

Claim (Index 1):
A knee pad apparatus, comprising:\n a body having curved exterior surface extending across a central portion and across two opposing side portions of said body; said body having a cavity defined by a curved interior surface extending across said central portion and said opposing side portions on an opposite side from said exterior surface; said cavity adapted for positioning of a knee of a user therein to an as-worn position of said knee pad, with said user kneeling thereon and said side portions positioned on opposing sides of said knee; a plurality of elongated projections positioned on said central portion of said body; each of said projections having a respective first side surface in a respective connection with said curved exterior surface, each of said projections extending a distance away from said curved exterior surface to a respective second side surface opposite a respective first side surface; each of said projections having a respective recessed channel area positioned in-between a first raised end abutting one side of said recessed channel area and a second raised end abutting an opposite side of said recessed channel area; whereby contact of each said first raised area and each said second raised area in their respective locations on opposite sides of a respective said recessed channel area, forms non-rolling support for said curved exterior surface of said kneepad upon a support surface during use in said as-worn position, said non-rolling contact preventing rolling of said body upon said exterior surface in said central portion, toward either of said side portions.
