ABSTRACT:
A knee pad has a flat bottomed support dimensioned to underlie the kneecap and a substantial adjacent length of the tibia. The support has a cushioned concavity for the knee and a channel for the lower leg which is inclined upwardly away from the plane of the flat bottom and towards the foot. The channel terminates in a fork disposed to straddle the instep of the shoe on that foot. The depth of the concavity is such that at least the greater part of the wearer's weight is borne by the tibia. The knee pad has a cuff of hard surfaced but flexible material by which it is detachably secured to a lower leg and fitted against the calf thereof. Both that portion of the support which is to underlie the knee and the forked end of the channel may have sections which may flex.
