Benefits of technology

This patent is about a new design of knee and leg protection for people who work on their feet all day. The design has built-in side supports that make it comfortable to wear all day without causing discomfort or constantly shifting. It is also specific to the leg and guarantees the proper position when the user drops to their knees. The design prevents bunching of the pants and allows for easy access to small tools or other items through built-in tool pouches. This saves time and increases productivity, and may even save lives in situations where quick access to life-saving items is needed.

Problems solved by technology

However none of them offer a pain free design.
Furthermore none of them allow the back of the knee to remain open and free from straps or elastic used to keep them in place.
My design addresses the binding and circulation impairment issues, which causes considerable discomfort.
Plus prior art designs often fail to keep knee and protection in place.
All of which are tightened around the knees causing major discomfort to the user.
These methods produce binding or circulation issues which causes irritation and discomfort to the area of contact.
Plus prior art does not always keep the protection pads in the desired location.
Often this results in the user simply removing them entirely.

Embodiment Construction

[0003]Leg and knee protection without traditional straps and buckles used to keep them in place. When people are working or engaging in sports where legs and knees incur impaction or friction type engagement, there is a need for my design. As to date, we are limited to strap on traditional protection, such as, strap on knee pads, heavy clothing, or elastic type of system to hold in place. These methods produce a binding or circulation impairment, which causes irritation or considerable discomfort to the area of contact. These methods do not always keep protection in the required area and require constant re-adjustment. My leg and knee protection design is more user friendly, practical and efficient. My leg and knee protection device would be more readily used which would lessen injury, time loss and increase protection for user. Further, the need is great in the heavy construction, military, EMT, disaster response and rescue. Anywhere the possibility for serious contact with sharp o...
