PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve a knee protector hardly causing position slippage when frequently repeating the posture of kneeling down or standing up for working, or even when walking while being worn.SOLUTION: This knee protector is constituted by a cup part 1 which has strength of protecting the knee and shape retention, engaging means such as a tightening string 3 for attaching the cup part 1 to the knee, and a pad part 2 which is arranged on the inside of the cup part 1, has cushionability and is large enough to cover the whole knee. The pad part 2 is vertically divided into two, and an upper pad part 2a is fixed to the cup part 1, and the upper pad part 2a and a lower pad part 2b are connected with each other with a stretchable connection member 4. The upper pad part 2a and the lower pad part 2b are connected with each other at both right and left ends, and are connected at the center with the stretchable connection member 4. The lower pad part 2b is widely formed to cover the surface of a kneecap part, and the upper pad part 2a is formed narrower.COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT【課題】作業のために膝をつく姿勢や立ち上がりを頻繁に繰り返す場合や、装着した状態で歩行しても位置ずれを生じにくい膝用プロテクタを実現する。【解決手段】膝用プロテクタは、膝を保護する強度と保形性を備えたカップ部1と、カップ部1を膝に装着するための締め紐3などの係止手段と、カップ部1の内面に配置するクッション性を備え、膝全体を覆う大きさのパッド部2で構成する。パッド部2は上下二分割とし、上パッド部2aをカップ部1に固定するとともに、上パッド部2aと下パッド部2bを伸縮性連結部材4で連結する。上パッド部2aと下パッド部2bは、左右両端部で連結し、中央部において伸縮性連結部材4で連結するとともに、下パッド部2bを膝頭部分の表面を覆う広幅に、上パッド部2aを細幅に形成する。【選択図】 図1
