Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anziehhilfe zum Anziehen von Strümpfen, insbesondere Kompressionsstrümpfen.The invention relates to a pulling aid for putting on stockings, in particular compression stockings.

Das Anziehen von Kompressionsstrümpfen, sei es mit offe­ner, sei es mit geschlossener Fußspitze, bereitet große Schwierigkeiten. Wegen der starken, an sich erwünschten Spannwirkung der Strümpfe besonders im Fußbereich ist praktisch nur ein "Hochrollen" der Strümpfe möglich, nachdem diese vorher auf "links" gedreht worden sind. Dieser Vorgang ist außerordentlich mühsam.It is very difficult to put on compression stockings, whether with the toes open or with the toes closed. Because of the strong, desired tensioning effect of the stockings, especially in the foot area, practically only a "rolling up" of the stockings is possible after they have been turned to "left" beforehand. This process is extremely tedious.

Bisher versucht man sich durch Überziehstrümpfe als Gleithilfe zu bedienen. Diese Unterziehstrümpfe haben jedoch den Nachteil, daß sie nach dem Anziehen der Kom­pressionsstrümpfe wieder entfernt werden müssen, so daß eine Verwendung vornherein nur bei Kompressionsstrümpfen mit offener Fußspitze möglich ist.So far, attempts have been made to use slip-ons as sliding aids. However, these underwear stockings have the disadvantage that they have to be removed again after the compression stockings have been put on, so that use in advance is only possible with compression stockings with an open toe.

Der Erfindung liegt damit die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Ausziehhilfe zum Anziehen von Strümpfen, insbesondere Kompressionsstrümpfen zu schaffen.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a pull-out aid for putting on stockings, in particular compression stockings.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe gelöst durch eine ge­stellartige Ausbildung mit wenigstens vier mit im we­sentlichen gleichem Abstand voneinander angeordneten, sich im wesentlichen parallel zueinander erstreckenden Streben, deren eine Enden über einen ersten Bügel und deren andere Enden über einen zweiten Bügel miteinander verbunden sind, wobei der erste Bügel im wesentlichen halbkreisförmig mit einem der Strumpfweite entsprechen­den Durchmesser und der zweite Bügel im wesentlichen U-­förmig mit einer deutlich größeren Weite miteinander verbunden sind.According to the invention, this object is achieved by a frame-like configuration with at least four struts arranged at substantially the same distance from one another and extending essentially parallel to one another, one end of which is connected via a first bracket and the other ends of which are connected via a second bracket, the first Brackets are essentially semicircular with a diameter corresponding to the stocking width and the second bow is connected to one another in a substantially U-shape with a significantly larger width.

Ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel zeichnet sich da­durch aus, daß die Ebenen der beiden Bügel im wesentli­chen rechtwinklig zu der Erstreckung der Streben ver­läuft.A preferred embodiment is characterized in that the planes of the two brackets run essentially at right angles to the extension of the struts.

Bevorzugt ist eine Ausbildung, bei der die Streben L-­förmig sind.An embodiment is preferred in which the struts are L-shaped.

Weiter wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Streben längenver­stellbar ausgebildet sind.It is further proposed that the struts are adjustable in length.

Ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel zeichnet sich aus durch ein Paar von an den zweiten Bügel angesetzte, im wesentlichen parallel zu den L-förmigen Streben verlau­fende Griffstreben. Diese Griffstreben können an ihrem oberen Abschnitt nach außen abgewinkelt ausgebildet sein.A preferred embodiment is characterized by a pair of handle struts attached to the second bracket and running essentially parallel to the L-shaped struts. These handle struts can be designed angled outwards at their upper section.

Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der Beschreibung, in der ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand einer Zeichnung erläutert wird. Dabei zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 eine Frontansicht der Anziehhilfe;
  • Fig. 2 eine Draufsicht der Anziehhilfe; und
  • Fig. 3 eine Seitenansicht der Anziehhilfe.
Further features and advantages of the invention result from the description in which an embodiment of the invention is explained with reference to a drawing. It shows:
  • Fig. 1 is a front view of the donning aid;
  • 2 is a top view of the donning aid; and
  • Fig. 3 is a side view of the donning aid.

Die Anziehhilfe besteht aus vier L-förmigen Streben 10, 12, 14, 16, deren stehende Schenkel in etwa parallel zu­einander verlaufen und deren liegende Schenkel in einer gemeinsamen Ebene paarweise voneinander weg weisend an­geordnet sind.The donning aid consists of four L-shaped struts 10, 12, 14, 16, the standing legs of which run approximately parallel to one another and the lying legs of which are arranged facing away from one another in pairs in a common plane.

Die freien Enden der stehenden Schenkel der L-förmigen Streben 10, 12, 14, 16 sind über einen etwa halbkreis­förmigen ersten Bügel 18 miteinander verbunden, dessen Durchmesser etwa der Weite des anzuziehenden Strumpfes entspricht. Die freien Enden der liegenden Schenkel der L-förmigen Streben 10, 12, 14, 16 sind über einen U-­förmigen zweiten Bügel 20 miteinander verbunden, dessen Weite deutlich größer ist als die Weite des ersten Bü­gels 18.The free ends of the standing legs of the L-shaped struts 10, 12, 14, 16 are connected to one another via an approximately semicircular first bracket 18, the diameter of which corresponds approximately to the width of the stocking to be put on. The free ends of the lying legs of the L-shaped struts 10, 12, 14, 16 are connected to one another via a U-shaped second bracket 20, the width of which is significantly larger than the width of the first bracket 18.

Der erste Bügel 18 und der zweite Bügel 20 verlaufen je­weils in einer zu den Streben 10, 12, 14, 16 rechtwink­ligen (zueinander also parallelen) Ebene.The first bracket 18 and the second bracket 20 each run in a plane perpendicular to the struts 10, 12, 14, 16 (ie parallel to one another).

Die stehenden Schenkel der L-förmigen Streben bilden so gemeinsam mit dem ersten Bügel 18 ein Gerüst einer Halb­schale, die liegenden Schenkel der L-förmigen Streben 10, 12, 14, 16 gemeinsam mit dem zweiten Bügel 20 einen Grundrahmen.The standing legs of the L-shaped struts together with the first bracket 18 form a framework of a half-shell, the lying legs of the L-shaped struts 10, 12, 14, 16 together with the second bracket 20 form a base frame.

Die Anziehhilfe kann aus Kunststoff, Stahldraht oder dergleichen hergestellt sein.The tightening aid can be made of plastic, steel wire or the like.

Vor Benutzung wird die Anziehhilfe auf eine Unterlage, etwa einen Tisch, gestellt. Sodann wird der Kompressi­onsstrumpf mit der Spitze im Inneren des "Halbschalenge­rüstet" der Anziehhilfe nach außen über das "Halbscha­lengerüst" gerollt, bis nur noch der Fußbereich inner­halb der Hülse liegt. Alsdann wird der Fuß in das Fuß­teil des Kompressionsstrumpfes eingesetzt, woraufhin die Vorrichtung seitlich mit den Händen erfaßt wird unter Hindurchgreifen durch den Abstand zwischen den stehenden Schenkeln der L-förmig ausgebildeten Streben 10, 12, bzw. 14, 16 zum Erfassen der Strümpfe, um dann zum Hoch­rollen der Strümpfe am Bein nach oben geführt zu werden.Before use, the dressing aid is placed on a surface such as a table. Then the compression stocking is rolled with the tip inside the "half-shell" of the donning aid to the outside over the "half-shell" until only the foot area lies inside the sleeve. Then the foot is inserted into the foot part of the compression stocking, whereupon the device is gripped laterally with the hands by reaching through the distance between the standing legs of the L-shaped struts 10, 12 or 14, 16 for gripping the stockings then to be led up to roll up the stockings on the leg.

Der Abstand der Streben 10 und 12 bzw. 14 und 16 vonein­ ander ist so gewählt, daß wenigstens zwei, vorzugsweise aber drei Finger hindurchgreifen können, damit der Strumpfrand ausreichend erfaßt und hochgerollt werden kann. Der Abstand der beiden inneren Streben 12, 14 vo­neinander ist so groß, daß die Ferse des Benutzers zwi­schen diesen hindurchgeführt werden kann. Der dem Durch­messer des ersten Bügels 18 entsprechende Abstand zwi­schen den beiden äußeren Streben 10, 16 ist der Stumpf­weite angepaßt und entspricht damit der Breite des Un­terschenkels des Verwenders.The distance between the struts 10 and 12 or 14 and 16 from one another the other is chosen so that at least two, but preferably three, fingers can reach through so that the stocking edge can be grasped sufficiently and rolled up. The distance between the two inner struts 12, 14 is so large that the user's heel can be passed between them. The distance between the two outer struts 10, 16 corresponding to the diameter of the first bracket 18 is adapted to the stump width and thus corresponds to the width of the user's lower leg.

Zeichnerisch nicht dargestellt ist eine Ausführungsform, bei der die stehenden Schenkel der Streben 10, 12, 14 längenverstellbar, beispielsweise teleskopisch ausgebil­det ist.An embodiment in which the standing legs of the struts 10, 12, 14 are adjustable in length, for example telescopically, is not shown in the drawing.

Der Ausbildung des gemeinsam mit dem liegenden Schenkeln der L-förmigen Streben 10, 12, 14, 16 einen Grundrahmen bildenden unteren Bügels 20 ist unkritisch, dieser dient lediglich dazu, die unteren Enden der Streben 10, 12, 14, 16 zur Erhöhung der Stabilität miteinander zu ver­binden und ein Aufstellen der Anziehhilfe zum Aufbringen des anzuziehenden Strumpfes zu ermöglichen.The formation of the lower bracket 20, which forms a base frame together with the lying legs of the L-shaped struts 10, 12, 14, 16, is not critical; this serves only the lower ends of the struts 10, 12, 14, 16 to increase the stability to connect with each other and to allow the donning aid to be put on to apply the stocking to be donned.

Im übrigen richtet sich der Abstand der Streben vonei­nander und der Durchmesser des ersten Bügels nach der Weite des anzuziehenden Strumpfes.Otherwise, the distance between the struts and the diameter of the first bracket depends on the width of the stocking to be put on.

Bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die An­ziehhilfe weiter mit einer Paar von an die Seitenab­schnitte des zweiten Bügels 20 angesetzte, im wesentli­chen parallel zu den L-förmigen Streben 10, 12, 14, 16 verlaufende Griffstreben 22, 24 versehen, die an ihrem oberen Endabschnitt nach außen abgewinkelt ausgebildet sind. Die Vorsehung derartiger Griffstreben, deren Länge unkritisch ist, die aber vorzugsweise etwas länger als die Streben 10, 12, 14, 16 sind, erleichtern das Anzie­hen von Kompressionsstrümpfen weiter.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the tightening aid is furthermore provided with a pair of attachments to the side sections of the second bracket 20, essentially parallel to the L-shaped struts 10, 12, 14, 16 extending handle struts 22, 24 which are formed at their upper end portion angled outwards. The provision of such grip struts, the length of which is not critical, but which are preferably somewhat longer than the struts 10, 12, 14, 16, further facilitate the putting on of compression stockings.

Die in der vorstehenden Beschreibung, in der Zeichnung sowie in den Ansprüchen offenbarten Merkmale der Erfin­dung können sowohl einzeln als auch in beliebigen Kombi­nationen für die Verwirklichung der Erfindung in ihren verschiedenen Ausführungsformen wesentlich sein.The features of the invention disclosed in the above description, in the drawing and in the claims can be essential both individually and in any combination for realizing the invention in its various embodiments.
