Abstract

A knee pad system includes a knee pad attached to a base that includes integrated roller balls on its exterior surface. The roller balls can roll within the base and facilitate movement of the knee pad over a flat surface when worn by a user. The improved knee pad system can include a locking mechanism selectively preventing the roller balls from moving within said base. The knee pad of the improved knee pad system can be selectively detached from and reattached to the base.

Claims (17)

1. An improved knee pad system, comprising:

a knee pad attached to a base including at least three integrated roller balls, wherein the at least three integrated roller balls facilitate movement of the knee pad over a flat surface when worn by a user; and

a locking mechanism disposed between at least two integrated roller balls of said at least three integrated roller balls, said locking mechanism selectively preventing said at least two integrated roller balls from moving within said base when said locking mechanism is physically engaged with said at least two integrated roller balls by the user.

2. The improved knee pad system of claim 1 , wherein said knee pad is detachable from said base.

3. The improved knee pad system of claim 2 , further comprising straps to secure at least one of the knee pad and the base to a user's knee.

4. The improved knee pad system of claim 2 , further comprising straps to secure the knee pad system to a user's knee.

5. The improved knee pad system of claim 1 , further comprising straps to secure the knee pad system to a user's knee.

6. The improved knee pad system of claim 1 , further comprising straps to secure at least one of the knee pad and the base to a user's knee.

7. An improved knee pad system, comprising:

a knee pad attachable to an interior surface of a base, said base including at least three roller balls integrated onto an exterior surface, wherein said at least three roller balls facilitate movement of the knee pad and base over a flat surface when worn by a user;

a locking mechanism selectively preventing at least two roller balls of said at least three roller balls from moving within said base when said locking mechanism is physically engaged with said at least two integrated roller balls by the user; and

straps attached to the knee pad system to secure the knee pad system to the user's knee.

8. The improved knee pad system of claim 7 , wherein said knee pad is also detachable from said base.

9. A knee pad system, comprising:

a knee pad including straps to secure the knee pad to a user's knee and attached to a base including integrated roller balls on an exterior surface of the base, wherein roller balls facilitate movement of the knee pad and base over a flat surface when worn by a user; and

a locking mechanism disposed between at least two roller balls selectively preventing said at least two roller balls from rolling within said base when said locking mechanism is selectively engaged by the user causing the locking mechanism to physically engaged and lock the at least two roller balls.

10. The kneepad system of claim 9 , wherein said kneepad is selectively detachable from said base.
