Abstract

A knee pad is provided with one or more pairs of tabs on its side walls. The tabs are attached to the leg portion of a pants by means of snap fasteners, Velcro or buttons, each of which permits the knee pad to be separated from the pants so that the pants may be cleaned. Where the pants are short and do not extend to the lower pair of tabs, two pairs of tabs are provided, an upper pair located above the knee of the wearer of the knee pad and a lower pair beneath the knee. The lower pair of tabs attach to a band which extends around the calf of the wearer and prevents the knee pad from swinging upward and away from the wearer's knee.

Description

Title
KNEE PADS ATTACHED TO PANTS
Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to knee pads and more particularly to a combination of a knee pad and fastening means for attaching the knee pad to the pants of a wearer.
Background of the Invention
Knee pads are in common use by persons who work on their hands and knees. Roofers for example kneel as they are nailing shingles to a roof. Installers of flooring and carpets also kneel during much of their work and gardeners and persons who are laying turf must also spend much of their working time on their hands and knees.
The knees of such persons become bruised and painful if they are not protected in some way and the usual way of doing so is by means of knee pads. Conventional knee pads consist of concave shaped pads which fit over the knees and are held in place by means of straps. The straps encircle the wearers' legs and the ends of the straps are connected by means of buckles, material identified by the trade-mark VELCRO or other means.
The straps of knee pads must be fastened tightly to the legs to prevent the pads from slipping out of place. However the tighter the straps, the more uncomfortable they are. Over time the pads may become so uncomfortable that they hinder the work in which persons wearing knee pads are engaged.
Summary of the Invention
I have found a way to hold knee pads to a person's legs without fastening the pads directly to the legs. Rather, I fasten them to the pants that are worn by the persons. The knee pads are held in place by the pants and the pants in turn are held in place by a belt or suspenders worn to by the person. Straps around his leg are not used to hold the knee pads in place.
If the person uses a belt to hold his pants up, his hips bear the weight of the pants and knee pads and prevent the knee pads from slipping downward on his legs. If the person uses suspenders, it is his shoulders which bear the weight and prevent the knee pads from slipping. Either way he suffers little or no discomfort and is not injured by the straps of the knee pads.
Locating knee pads on pants not only avoids discomfort and injury to the wearer's legs but has the added advantage of giving the wearer the opportunity to choose where exactly he wants the knee pads to be on his leg. He decides where the pads are to be attached to his pants. By contrast if the knee pads are fastened by straps, the person usually has no such choice. The pads must be at the location on his legs where they are designed to be and not necessarily where the wearer wants them to be.
Briefly, my invention is the combination of a knee pad, tabs and fasteners for attaching the knee pad to pants. The combination is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which:
Description of the Drawings

Figure 2 is a cross-section of the knee pad in conjunction with an elevation of long pants worn by the wearer of the knee pad. The knee pad is in smaller scale than that in Figure 1 and the pants and tabs for attaching of the knee pad to a wearer's pants are shown in elevation;
Figure 3 is an elevation of the inner wall of a knee pad of a different shape than the knee pad illustrated in Figures 1 and 2;
Figure 4 is an elevation of the knee pad in conjunction with an elevation of short pants worn by the wearer of the knee pad;

Figure 7 is a fragmentary perspective view of a fastener in the form of a Velcro fastener. Like reference characters refer to like parts throughout the following description
Like reference characters refer to like parts throughout the description of the drawings.
Description of Preferred Embodiments
With reference to Figures 1 and 2, the knee pad consists of an upper segment generally 10, a cental or intermediate segment generally 12 and a lower segment, generally 14. The inner
wall of the knee pad 16 is composed of a layer of soft, pliable material which contacts the wearer's pants 20 and which is comfortable to the wearer when it is fastened to the pants.
In order to enhance the flexibility of the knee pad in the area in front of the knee, deep recesses or indentation 24 are formed in the side walls 26 of the knee pad in that area. When the knee bends, the gaps in the two recesses close but the knee pad does not resist bending until the gaps are fully closed. Accordingly, the knee remains protected whether the knee is bent or straight.
The outer wall 30 of the knee pad is composed of material which provides a measure of protection to the wearer's knee. The wall is of limited pliability and resilience so that it flexes and springs back sufficiently to allow the knee to bend and to straighten but is sufficiently strong to resist fracturing when subject to abrasion and blows, Preferably the outer wall is composed of plastic or rubber.
A tab 32 extends outwardly from on opposite sides of the upper segment of the knee pad and like tabs 34 are provided on opposite sides of the lower segment. The tabs are arranged in two groups, an upper graoup, generally A and a lower group, generally B. The upper group extends outwardly from the upper segment 10 of the knee pad while the lower group B extends outwardly from the lower segment 14.
The tabs are attached to the knee pad by passing their inner ends through slits 10a in the knee pad, turning the ends back on themselves to form loops and fastening the ends to areas of the
tabs outside the loop.
With reference to Figures 1 , 2 and 6 a socket 36 of a conventional dome or snap fastener is attached to each tab adjacent to its outer end. The socket fits over a rounded portion or head 38 of the fastener located on the leg portion of the pants 20. The location of the rounded portions or heads of the fastener on the pants is one which best suits the wearer of the knee pad so that the movement of the knee pad on his leg is minimized but the legs are free to bend and straighten without interference by the pads. Attachment of the fasteners is by well know means. Generally, an awl, hammer and punch are the only tools necessary to do so.
With reference to Figure 3, the knee pad, generally 40 has upper and lower walls 42, 44 and oppositely facing side walls 46a.b. Like the knee pad of Figures 1 and 2, the knee pad has an outer wall (not visible) and an inner walls 45. The outer wall is relatively inflexible for protecting the knee from blows or abrasion while the inner wall is relatively soft. Also, like the knee pad of Figures 1 and 2 the knee pad of Figure 3 is of conventional construction. However to the knee pad of Figure 3 is attached to each of its side walls a tab 48 and to each tab a socket 50 of a dome or snap fastener is attached. The tab and socket serve the same purpose as the tabs and sockets of Figure 1 and 2.
With reference again to Figure 2. the illustrated pants are long pants or trousers and both upper and lower pairs of tabs can be attached to the pants so that one pair is above the knee and the other is below it. In Figure 4 however the pants 58 are short and end at hems 58a. The wearer's knee 60 and lower leg 61 are below the hem. In such case, only the upper pair of tabs 64 can be attached to the pants. The tabs are sufficient to hold the knee pad in the intended location in front of the knee but do not prevent the knee pad from swinging upward which may happen as the wearer moves about on his hands and knees To prevent that, the lower pair of tabs 66 are attached to a band 70 which extends around the calf 61a of the wearer's leg and are attached at each end to the lower tabs 66 by lower dome or snap fasteners 74. The latter fasteners may be but are not necessarily of the same construction as the fasteners which attach the upper pair of tabs to the pants.
Band 70 prevents the knee pad from swinging upward. Its function is not to secure the knee pad to the wearer's leg. For that reason the band may hang loosely and not necessarily in contact with the leg. It is undesirable that it be secured securely to the leg because in that case it may injure or cause discomfort to the wearer. The band is provided with a buckle 76 to permit the effective length of the band to be adjusted.
While a dome or snap fastener is the preferred means for attachment of the tabs to the pants and the band because of its ease of attachment to the pants and tabs, other fasteners can be used. For example in Figure 5, the fastener is in the form of a button 80 sewn to pants 20 and a button hole 82 formed in tab 84 while in Figure 7, looped and burred pads 86, 88, respectively composed of Velcro serve is the fasteners.
Preferably the fastener is one which allows the tabs to be easily separated from the pants so that the pants can be cleaned without damaging the knee pads. The fasteners mentioned above
normally all allow the knee pads to be easily attached and detached from the pants.
As will be understood from the foregoing, each of the fasteners described have a pair of components which interconnect with one another. For example, the components of the dome or snap fastener are a socket and a rounded portion, the components of the Velcro fastener are looped and burred plastic strips while the components of the fastener illustrated in Figure 5 are a button and a button hole. In view of the fact that the term "fastener" in this application may be made up of various components, the components in a pair are sometimes distinguished from one other by referring to one as the "first" component and the other as the "second"..
The location of the socket and rounded head may be interchanged so that the socket is provided on the pants and the rounded portion is provided on the tabs attached to the knee pad. Similarly the buttons may be sewn on either the pants or the tabs and the looped Velcro pads may be on either the tabs or the pants while burrred pads are on the other. However where buttons and button holes are used as fasteners, the buttons are preferably sewn to the pants and the holes which accommodate the buttons are formed in the tabs. Rain water will then not leak through button holes in the pants.
It will be understood, of course, that modifications can be made to the combination of a knee pad, tab and fastener of the invention without departing from the scope and purview of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
