    Wheeled knee pads and patent searching - GIF, video, photos, patents

    Wheeled knee pads. I have seen this as a single unit before, but not as two separate pads. I'm reminded of the broken skateboard rider or the skateboard roller skates, but as knee pads.

    Maybe gimmicky, but I could see it work in certain situations, especially when you get good at using them. The manufacturing company, Milescraft, looks like an interesting little tool company. I like this too, at Milescraft.com:




    The description says it's patented, but no patent number? Here it is in the tool manual:




    From there, a search on the patent number at the US Patent Office advanced search. Here's the syntax, using PN for patent number, and APT/1 to search for utility patents only (no design patents): PN/7191677 AND APT/1.





    That leads us right to it:

    Adjustable Angle Drive for a Rotary Power Tool




    Inventor is Patrick Barkdoll of Pecatonica, IL. Now another search to find this inventor's inventions: IN/Barkdoll AND IN/Patrick AND APT/1. Looks like a lot of retail display stuff; not so interesting:



    Now, try with the assignee name of Nomis, LLC: AN/Nomis AND APT/1. Now we've found the tool patents:




    A few picks:


    Expandable Sawhorse-Type Support for Work Pieces


    Saw Blade Changing Tool


    Adjustable Doweling Jig

    White pine maybe but never yellow pine or anything harder. and forget metal except pot metal

    looks too awkward for my knees, but then I'm not going to be needing ones for concrete. I was wondering why the wheels weren't offset to avoid jamning together.
    OK for youth without arthritis i guess.
