[0001] This is a continuation-in-part application of co-pending application Ser. No. 10/108,050 filed Mar. 28, 2002. TECHNICAL FIELD [0002] The present invention relates to workmen's equipment and more particularly to a knee pad assembly for protecting the knee of a worker that includes an outer knee pad structure and a resilient foam inner knee and shin pad structure; the outer knee pad structure being molded of plastic and including a bottom knee support plate having a non-slip bottom surface and a top portion integrally formed with a knee and shin receiving structure that defines an inner knee and shin pad receiving channel; the inner knee and shin pad receiving channel being partially defined by a bottom channel surface of the knee and shin receiving structure and includes a pad protrusion receiving cavity formed therein; the resilient foam inner knee and shin pad structure being shaped to seat into the inner knee and shin pad receiving channel and having a pad protrusion extending from a bottom surface thereof adapted to seat into the pad protrusion receiving cavity of the outer knee pad structure. BACKGROUND OF INVENTION [0003] Many individuals who work installing tile, wood flooring, etc. have to spend a considerable amount of time on one or more knees in order to accomplish the work. This constant weight on the knees can lead to knee pain as well as knee injury. It would be a benefit to these individuals to have one or more knee pad assemblies that could be attached, respectively, to one or more knees as needed for providing cushioning to their knees as well as reducing the wear and tear on their knees. GENERAL SUMMARY DISCUSSION OF INVENTION [0004] It is thus an object of the invention to provide a kneepad assembly that includes an outer knee pad structure and a resilient foam inner knee and shin pad structure; the outer knee pad structure being molded of plastic and including a bottom knee support plate having a non-slip bottom surface and a top portion integrally formed with a knee and shin receiving structure that defines an inner knee and shin pad receiving channel; the inner knee and shin pad receiving channel being partially defined by a bottom channel surface of the knee and shin receiving structure and includes a pad protrusion receiving cavity formed therein; the resilient foam inner knee and shin pad structure being shaped to seat into the inner knee and shin pad receiving channel and having a pad protrusion extending from a bottom surface thereof adapted to seat into the pad protrusion receiving cavity of the outer knee pad structure. [0005] Accordingly, a kneepad assembly is provided. The kneepad assembly includes an outer knee pad structure and a resilient foam inner knee and shin pad structure; the outer knee pad structure being molded of plastic and including a bottom knee support plate having a non-slip bottom surface and a top portion integrally formed with a knee and shin receiving structure that defines an inner knee and shin pad receiving channel; the inner knee and shin pad receiving channel being partially defined by a bottom channel surface of the knee and shin receiving structure and includes a pad protrusion receiving cavity formed therein; the resilient foam inner knee and shin pad structure being shaped to seat into the inner knee and shin pad receiving channel and having a pad protrusion extending from a bottom surface thereof adapted to seat into the pad protrusion receiving cavity of the outer knee pad structure.
