Description
March 20, 1962 G. RAMON 3,025,526
KNEELING DEVICES Filed NOV. 23, 1960 5 INVENTOR.
67/V0 Kama/M United States Patent Ofiice 3,025,526 Patented Mar. 20, 1962 3,025,526 KNEELING DEVICES Gino Ramon, 2317 N. Palmer St., Milwaukee, Wis. Filed Nov. 23, 1960, Ser. No. 71,305 1 Claim. (Cl. 2-24) This invention relates to improvements in kneeling devices, and more particularly to a novel kneeling device adapted for use by artisans engaged in floor surfacing work.
An object of the invention is to provide a device of the type that will support the knee and leg of a user while engaged in the work of applying cement or other floor surface material.
Another object of the invention is to provide a device of the type that will fold up vertically in front of the leg of the user while he is walking about in a vertical position.
Other and further objects of the invention will appear as the description proceeds, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, in which:
FIG. 1 is a view in perspective from above of a kneeling device embodying the invention.
FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view taken on line 2-2 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is an end view of the shoe showing the support pins extended downwardly.
FIG. 4 is a side view in elevation of the device folded to vertical position when the user is erect.
FIG. 5 is a side view in elevation showing the device as used during floor surfacing operations.
Referring more particularly to the drawing, the numeral refers to the foot plate of the device provided with a pair of channel members 11 and 12 and an axle member 13 journaled at 14 and 15 of the foot plate. A rectangular frame 16 is pivotally mounted on the axle 13 and carries the angle socket 17 provided with a liner or pad 18 and the retaining strap 19 and buckle 20. A
pair of link arms 21 and 22 connects the frame 16 pivotally with the knee socket member 23, having the liner pad 24 and the retaining strap 25 cooperating with a buckle 26. A plurality of support pins 27 is shown in FIG. 1 to extend upwardly. During work on certain classes of fioor surfacing, the support pins 27 are reversed and inserted in the under side of the foot plate 10, thus acting as stilt means to support the user. A detent '28 is used to secure the device in vertical position as illustrated in FIG. 4. It will be understood that the screw means 29 or other appropriate means may be used to retain the socket member 23 and the related assembly in the position as shown in FIG. 1.
It will be understood that the device is capable of many modifications in structure and design, without departing from the spirit of the invention, within the scope of the appended claim.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed and desired to be secured by Letters Patent of the United States, is:
In a device of the type having a surface-bearing foot plate, a knee socket, flange mountings subjoined to said knee socket for supporting the same, track channels longitudinally disposed on said foot plate engaging the flange mountings with a sliding fit, an ankle socket, rectangular frame means pivoted to said plate carrying said ankle socket, and a plurality of reversible support pins threadingly engaged in said foot plate.
