ABSTRACT:
A roller knee pad having a hard shell supported by a plurality of swiveling casters. The inside of the hard shell is lined with a cushioning material to absorb shock when kneeling and to cushion against minor shape disparities between the wearers knees and the inside of the hard shell. A plate is attached to the exterior portion of the hard shell to provide mounting locations for a plurality of casters. The casters are capable of swiveling through a 360 degree range. Ideally three casters are used to support the knee pad allowing the pad to be self supporting and allowing the wearer to easily balance on the knee pad without exerting undue pressure on his/her toes. A rolling knee pad is strapped to each of the wearers knees allowing the user to kneel without concern about placement of the knee pad. Once the knee pads are engaged to the floor surface, the wearer may move laterally in any direction while still on his/her knees. If desired, the user may rise, walk to another location and then re-kneel without having to engage one hand with carrying the knee pads. Both hands are thus free to carry tools and materials when rising and kneeling on the invention.
