Abstract: |
The portable kneepad is comprised of a cushion that has a knee-shaped indentation designed to comfortably support a user's knee. On the bottom side of the cushion is a magnet that allows the kneepad to hand from a metal surface when not in use and a handle means on the outer part of the cushion which allows the kneepad to be carried to various locations for its use. A gripping tread on the bottom side of the kneepad prevents the kneepad from moving or sliding when in use. The cushion is either made of rubber or polyurethane and/or has a waterproof and oil-resistant cover and allows automobile mechanics to use the kneepad to comfortably kneel while loading an automobile lift and to store the kneepad out of the way when not in use.
