Knee cushion support

Abstract

A knee cushion support for placement atop a surface in an area beneath knees of a user comprising a covering that encloses the outer periphery of the cushion support. A pair depressions formed in the upper surface of the cushion receives and supports the knees of a user while in the kneeling position. A resilient inner core member is enclosed within the outer covering. A convex shaped ridge member is located between a pair of depressions that accommodate the knee of a user. An essentially concave shaped portion formed integral with, and curved upward from said the lower surface is aligned on the lower surface beneath the ridge member in an arrangement that will permit stacking of a number of knee cushion supports together in a nesting arrangement. A pair of handles or grips are formed on the first and second end-walls to facilitate grasping and transporting the knee cushion support.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A cushion support for placement atop a surface in an area beneath knees of a user comprising: 
 a. a generally rectangular cushion support having an upper surface and a lower surface;    b. a front wall and a rear wall, said front wall and rear wall located on opposing sides of said cushion support formed integral with and connecting said upper and lower surfaces;    c. a first end-wall and a second end-wall, said first end-wall and said second end-wall located on opposing ends of said cushion support formed integral with and connecting said upper and lower surfaces;    d. a pair of spaced apart depressions formed in said upper surface for receiving and supporting knees of said user;    e. an outer covering enclosing said cushion support outer periphery;    f. a resilient inner core member contained within said outer covering and beneath said upper surface and above said lower surface and between said first end-wall and said second end-wall; and    g. an essentially convex shaped ridge member formed integral with and bulges outward from said upper surface.    
     
     
         2 . The cushion support of  claim 1  wherein said first end-wall and said second end-wall have grips formed on said first and second end-walls for grasping said cushion support.  
     
     
         3 . The cushion support of  claim 2  wherein said ridge member is located between said pair of spaced apart depressions.  
     
     
         4 . The cushion support of  claim 3  wherein said lower surface contains an essentially concave shaped portion formed integral with and curved upward from said lower surface, said concave shaped portion positioned beneath said ridge member formed on said upper surface.  
     
     
         8 . A cushion support for placement atop a surface in an area beneath knees of a user comprising: 
 a. a generally rectangular cushion support having an upper surface and a lower surface;    b. a front wall and a rear wall, said front wall and rear wall located on opposing sides of said cushion support formed integral with and connecting said upper and lower surfaces;    c. a first end-wall and a second end-wall, said first end-wall and said second end-wall located on opposing ends of said cushion support formed integral with and connecting said upper and lower surfaces;    d. means for receiving and supporting knees of said user formed in said upper surface;    d. an outer covering enclosing said cushion support outer periphery;    e. a resilient inner core member contained within said outer covering and beneath said upper surface and above said lower surface and between said first end-wall and said second endwall;    f. a pair of grips formed on said first and second end-walls for grasping said cushion support; and    g. means for linking a convex member on said upper surface of a cushion support with a concave portion on said lower surface of a cushion support to facilitate stacking a plurality of cushion supports together in a nesting arrangement.    
     
     
         9 . The cushion support of  claim 8  wherein said means for linking said convex member and said concave portion are slightly tapered in a direction from said front wall toward said rear wall.  
     
     
         10 . The cushion support of  claim 9  wherein said means for receiving and supporting knees of said user is of a size sufficient to receive and accommodate knees of a user in a kneeling position.  
     
     
         11 . The cushion support of  claim 10  wherein said means for receiving and supporting knees of said user is generally conical shaped.
