Kneeling Pad

Abstract

A kneeling pad is provided. The kneeling pad comprises a flexible pad a having an upper surface, a first end, a second end, and a thickness. The first end comprises a raised hump that extends laterally and across the pad, whereby the raised hump forms a raised radius to support the feet and lower legs of a kneeling user. The raised hump has a convex upper surface that is adapted to press against the lower leg and foot upper of a kneeling user's feet, thereby placing the user's feet in a plantar flexion position and raising the toes of a user above the ground. Overall, the device provides cushion and supports a user's feet in such a way to reduce pressure on the toes of a kneeling user.

I claim: 
     
         1 ) A kneeling pad, comprising:
 a flexible pad having an upper surface, a lower surface, a first end, a second end, a pair of sides, and a thickness;   whereby the first end of the flexible pad comprises a raised hump that extends laterally and between the pair of sides;   the raised hump comprises a semicircular cross section and comprising a cushion material;   whereby the raised hump has a convex, curved upper surface adapted to be pressed against the lower leg and foot upper of a kneeling user's feet to place the user's feet in a plantar flexion position while the user's knees are pressed into the upper surface of the flexible pad.   
     
     
         2 ) The kneeling pad of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the flexible pad comprises an upper pad layer and a lower pad layer; and   whereby the raised hump comprises a semicircular pad inserted between the upper pad layer and the lower pad layer along the first end of the flexible pad.   
     
     
         3 ) The kneeling pad of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the flexible pad comprises a continuous pad forming over the raised hump and folding back onto itself to form an upper pad layer and a lower pad layer; and   whereby the raised hump comprises a semicircular pad inserted between the upper pad layer and the lower pad layer along the first end of the flexible pad.   
     
     
         4 ) The kneeling pad of  claim 1 , further comprising a handle adjacent to one of the first end, the second end, or one of the pair of sides.
