ABSTRACT:
A cushion which can be removably attached to rigid, planar supports is disclosed according to the preferred teachings of the present invention including a flexible insulator removably received within a flexible bag-like covering. The insulator in its preferred form includes first and second reflective layers sandwiching sealed, multiple air cell material. The cushion has a size and shape complementary to the top surface of the support and can be removably held thereon by fasteners which in the preferred form are VELCRO.RTM. fasteners secured to the bottom surface of the covering and the top surface of the support such as by double-sided adhesive tape whereby the cushion is located intermediate the support and the user kneeling, laying or otherwise supported thereon. Flexible abrasive strips are further secured to the bottom surface of the covering and intermediate the fasteners to prevent slipping of the cushion upon the work area. In a first preferred form, the cushion is approximately one-half the size of the support, with the user kneeling on the cushion while the remaining portions of the support hold repair tools. A handle in the form of a cord extends through apertures formed in the support adjacent its top end. In another preferred form, the cushion includes three portions, which can be folded for storage, with each of the portions including abrasive strips parallel to the fold lines.
