AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides an improved knee pad with a single holding strap that has a plurality of cross-stitched sections at the outer end. The strap can be cut to custom fit the knee pad on a wearer and indicia is marked on the strap to show where the cut may be made. The cross-stitching prevents the materials of the knee pad from separating after being cut. This design ensures better fit and comfort for the wearer.

Problems solved by technology

However, because of the large variation in the size of the legs and knees of potential users, the known knee pads do not always fit comfortably or tightly enough on all users.

Thus, many individuals get exasperated and do not use the known knee pads, or have to somehow jury rig their knee pads to fit better, or end up purchasing numerous types of knee pads in an effort to find one that has a better fit.

Consequently, the known knee pads are not able to offer solutions to the known problems and lack the versatility to satisfy the consuming public.
