ABSTRACT:
A knee protecting device for a carpet installer which engages the kicking pad of a carpet stretcher during the installation of carpets. The knee protecting device reduces trauma to the carpet installer while striking the kicking pad of the carpet installer. Toward this end, the knee protecting device includes a semi-rigid body member that has a shape conforming to the contour of the knee of the carpet installer and the thigh of the carpet installer immediately above the knee. A resilient layer is secured to the inner concave wall of the semi-rigid body member and has a shape conforming to the contour of the knee of the carpet installer and the thigh of the carpet installer immediately above the knee. Radially extending ribs are fixed to the convex outer wall of the semi-rigid body member in the region in which the knee protecting device engages the kicking pad of the carpet stretcher for improving the distribution of force to reduce the impact on the knee of the carpet installer while the knee protecting device engages the kicking pad of the carpet stretcher.
