Abstract

La présente invention concerne des dispositifs de genouillères portés par-dessus le pantalon d'un utilisateur. Auparavant, les systèmes ne protégeaient pas les genoux de l'utilisateur lors du travail sur diverses surfaces de sol. Les modes de réalisation de la présente invention utilisent un ensemble coussin (10) qui comprend un élément (24) de rembourrage intérieur enveloppé par une feuille extérieure (18) à fixation de type velours. La feuille extérieure à fixation de type velours permet à l'ensemble coussin d'être fixé à la fois au pantalon (20) et à une coque extérieure dure (12) suite à l'interaction avec les feuilles à fixation de type crochet. La coque extérieure dure peut être remplacée par une autre coque afin de s'adapter à la surface de sol particulière.
