Abstract

The pulling aid has two main rods (2) which are arranged to each other by mutual distance in a parallel manner. The ends (2b) of the main rods are held at a base frame, and other ends (2a) of the mail rods are connected with each other by an arc-shaped clamp (4). The base frame for supporting on an edge seaming of an even surface has an even contact area and a contact surface for the arrangement at an edge. The even contact area is arranged in a distance to the main rods. The contact surface is angled from the contact area.

Description

The The invention relates to a dressing aid for donning arm compression stockings.

People, those of a weakness the lymphatic drainage function in the arm are concerned, or those, for example As part of a breast cancer treatment, the lymph in one arm area have been surgically removed, are often on the application of Instructed arm compression stockings, to support or replace the lymphatic drainage function.

Now is, however, especially for Persons with a weakened or distant lymph, putting on an arm compression stocking often with Difficulties associated with the operation are carried out with one hand got to. Here The invention aims to remedy this. The object of the invention is It is to provide a dressing aid for putting on arm compression stockings, with the the application process of an arm compression stocking in normal posture and even in sitting without difficulty can be performed.

These The object is achieved by a Dressing aid for putting on arm compression stockings solved, with two mutually spaced main struts, which in the essentially parallel or slightly V-shaped to each other are, with first ends of the main struts held on a base frame and second ends of the main struts through an arcuate bracket with each other are connected, and wherein the base frame to rest on a Near-edge region of a flat surface one at a distance to the main struts arranged level support area and a from this angled investment area to rest on one edge having.

These Design allows placing the dressing aid, for example, on a border or edge area a table top, with the support area on the table top rests and the contact area comes to bear against the edge, so that one fixed position of the dressing aid is given.

Prefers is provided that the Hanger semicircular is.

Farther can Auxiliary struts may be provided which are parallel or under a flat Angle at a distance to the main struts along a cylindrical or cone-shaped Circumferential contour are arranged. This ensures that the compression stocking is opened tunnel-shaped in the drawn on the struts initial state and facilitates the tightening process.

The Base frame can be a U-shaped, C-shaped, rectangular, square or round frame bracket, the vertical can be arranged to the support area and / or the main and auxiliary struts. The support area in turn can be a U-shaped, C-shaped, rectangular, square or round support bracket, which is attached to the frame bracket can be.

Conveniently, is provided that the investment area bent at right angles from the support area.

In Another embodiment may be provided that the investment area again Angled securing area for reaching under a border area a tabletop o. Ä. having.

alternative or additionally the contact area can be a clamping device for clamping the dressing aid, for example at an edge region of a tabletop, exhibit.

Conveniently, can also be provided that the Investment area having a slip-resistant material.

The Invention will be further explained with reference to an embodiment, wherein is referred to a drawing in which

1 a side view of a dressing aid according to the invention shows

2 a front view of the dressing aid after 1 towards II in 3 shows, and

3 a plan view of the donning after 1 and 2 towards III in 3 shows.

The dressing aid according to the illustrated embodiment initially has two main struts arranged at a mutual distance and substantially parallel to each other 2 on, whose upper ends 2a through a bow-shaped bracket 4 connected to each other. Lower ends 2 B the main struts 2 are over a bend 2c with leg ends 6a a C-shaped, flat frame bracket 6 connected.

assist struts 8th run from the middle of the temple 4 essentially parallel to the main struts 2 towards the rack strap 6 and are angled approximately at its height and over bridge sections 8a with the frame bracket 6 connected.

The four main and auxiliary struts 2 . 8th thus proceed from the bracket 4 essentially parallel or slightly divergent and are on egg ner imaginary cylindrical or slightly conical peripheral contour arranged so that a wound on the struts compression stocking assumes a widened tunnel-shaped figure, which facilitates the insertion of a hand and the overall tightening.

On the rack bracket 6 is, approximately perpendicular thereto, a substantially rectangular support bracket 10 attached, which in the illustrated embodiment consists of two support areas forming a support area 12 , against these angled investment endeavors 14 and a connecting web that connects them 16 forming an investment area is formed. At the landing stage 16 is an opposite to the investment ambitions 14 again angled arranged securing bracket 18 attached, consisting of two securing struts 18a and a connecting this securing ridge 18b exists and forms a backup area.

As in 1 is indicated, the dressing aid (in opposite 1 rotated by 90 °) on an edge or edge near area of a flat surface, here table top 20 o. Ä., Are placed, wherein a support area forming support struts 12 and part of the frame bracket 6 on the surface 20 rest and the investment area forming an investment area 14 abut against an edge of the table top o. Ä., So that the Anziehhilfe posi tionally fixed. Another safeguard against unintentional shifting of the dressing aid is through the safety bar 18 given the table top 20 o. Ä. Under grips and thereby prevents the support bracket 10 can lift off in the edge region of the plate. The safety bar can be kept adjustable to facilitate an investment in different strength tabletops. Also, it may be formed as a clamping element to allow a clamping attachment.

After putting on an arm compression stocking on the main and auxiliary struts 2 . 8th A user can start his hand at a position near the temple 4 Insert into the tubular or tunnel-shaped stocking and towards the frame strap 6 and then move forward until the stocking has been completely pulled off the struts and resting on the arm. This tightening can be done in the simplest way even sitting in a chair in front of a table position.

In order to avoid an unwanted shift of the dressing aid, the support area 10 be provided with a non-slip material such as rubber o. Ä.
