Portable prayer kneeler

Abstract

A portable prayer kneeler includes a knee rest portion and an arm rest portion. The knee rest portion includes a pair of base leg structures, each being adjustable in length and having a first end and a second end, and a knee pad panel attached to the second ends of the base leg structures. The arm rest portion includes a pair of support leg structures, each being adjustable in length and having a first end and a second end, and an elbow pad panel attached to the second ends of the support leg structures. The first ends of the support leg structures are attached one each to the first ends of the base leg structures.

         3 . The portable prayer kneeler of  claim 2 , wherein each of said base leg structures comprises base leg locking arrangements configured to releasably lock said base leg telescoping sections in an extended position. 
     
     
         4 . The portable prayer kneeler of  claim 1 , wherein said knee pad panel comprises a knee cushion and a crosspiece, wherein said knee cushion is attached to one side of said crosspiece and said second ends of said base leg structures are attached to an opposite side. 
     
     
         5 . The portable prayer kneeler of  claim 1 , wherein each of said support leg structures comprises support leg telescoping sections. 
     
     
         6 . The portable prayer kneeler of  claim 5 , wherein each of said support leg structures comprises support leg locking arrangements configured to releasably lock said support leg telescoping sections in an extended position. 
     
     
         7 . The portable prayer kneeler of  claim 1 , wherein said elbow pad panel comprises an elbow cushion and a crosspiece, wherein said elbow cushion is attached to one side of said crosspiece and said second ends of said support leg structures are attached to an opposite side. 
     
     
         8 . The portable prayer kneeler of  claim 2 , wherein each of said support leg structures comprises support leg telescoping sections. 
     
     
         9 . The portable prayer kneeler of  claim 8 , wherein:
 said base leg telescoping sections of each of said base leg structures comprise a first storage section disposed at said second end and configured to temporarily contain all other of said base leg telescoping sections when said base leg structures are in a fully collapsed position; and   said support leg telescoping sections of each of said support leg structures comprise a second storage section disposed at first second end and configured to temporarily contain all other of said support leg telescoping sections when said support leg structures are in a fully collapsed position.   
     
     
         10 . The portable prayer kneeler of  claim 9 , wherein said second storage section has a height greater than a height of said first storage section such that, when both said support leg structures and said base leg structures are in a fully collapsed position, said knee pad panel is positioned between said support leg structures and adjacent said knee pad panel. 
     
     
         11 . The portable prayer kneeler of  claim 9 , wherein each of said first storage section and said second storage section comprises rubber feet. 
     
     
         12 . The portable prayer kneeler of  claim 1 , wherein said arm rest portion further comprises a reinforcement piece disposed transversely and attached to said second storage sections. 
     
     
         13 . A portable prayer kneeler comprising:
 a knee rest portion comprising a pair of base leg structures, each being adjustable in length and having a first end and a second end, and a knee pad panel attached to said second ends of said base leg structures, wherein:
 each of said base leg structures comprises base leg telescoping sections, 
 each of said base leg structures comprises base leg locking arrangements configured to releasably lock said base leg telescoping sections in an extended position, 
 said knee pad panel comprises a knee cushion and a crosspiece, wherein said knee cushion is attached to one side of said crosspiece and said second ends of said base leg structures are attached to an opposite side, 
 said base leg telescoping sections of each of said base leg structures comprise a first storage section disposed at said second end and configured to temporarily contain all other of said base leg telescoping sections when said base leg structures are in a fully collapsed position; and 
   an arm rest portion comprising a pair of support leg structures, each being adjustable in length and having a first end and a second end, and an elbow pad panel attached to said second ends of said support leg structures, wherein said first ends of said support leg structures are attached one each to said first ends of said base leg structures, wherein:
 each of said support leg structures comprises support leg telescoping sections; 
 each of said support leg structures comprises support leg locking arrangements configured to releasably lock said support leg telescoping sections in an extended position, 
 said elbow pad panel comprises an elbow cushion and a crosspiece, wherein said elbow cushion is attached to one side of said crosspiece and said second ends of said support leg structures are attached to an opposite side, 
 said support leg telescoping sections of each of said support leg structures comprise a second storage section disposed at said second end and configured to temporarily contain all other of said support leg telescoping sections when said support leg structures are in a fully collapsed position,
