Abstract

The SK PADS are new in that there are no elastic bands, straps, strings or button straps to keep the kneepads in place. The user must take a clean pair of workpants free from any holes in or around the area where the SK PADS are to be attached. All the user has to do is heat the area on the workpants where the SK PAD system is going to be placed with a common household iron. The user must next place the SK PAD'"'"'s loop fastening section that contains the heat sealing patch on that area and press it into place by applying pressure on all four (4) corners of the patch for approximately thirty (30) seconds. After the patch is allowed to cool, the patch must be checked to ensure that a tight fit has been made to the workpants. For the optimal result, the pants and patch must be left for four (4) hours for the patch to cool.

Claims

1. The SK PADS are easy to use.

2. The SK PADS attach to a person'"'"'s work clothes regardless of that person'"'"'s height weight or body structure, maximizing the utility of this invention.

3. The portion of the SK PAD system that is heat sealed (ironed on) to the workpants can be washed with the pants.

4. The SK PADS are painless to the wearer because there are no fasteners that are constrictive.

5. The SK PADS will not cut off blood circulation to the wearer'"'"'s legs, which could cause discomfort.
