Abstract
The disclosed knee shield is a durable, easy-to-install protective barrier that is fastened underneath sink bottoms. It protects the knees of a wheelchair user from rough and abrasive surfaces and extreme temperatures as mandated by the ADA and other federal, state, and local buildings codes. The knee shield is slotted so that it fits around the drain assembly, without requiring the removal of the sink; drain assembly, or plumber's putty that may already exist.
