Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pull-on device for compression stockings, in particular compression stockings with a toe.
  • the new donning device should also be suitable for putting on compression tights which differ from compression stockings only in that the two compression stockings are connected to one another at the top by a trouser part. What is explained below with regard to compression stockings therefore also applies analogously to compression tights.
  • a wire frame (stocking butler) is known as a pull-on device for compression stockings with a tip, which can be placed on the floor.
  • This wire frame has between two upwardly projecting retaining brackets a half cylinder consisting of several wires and projecting upwards. The compression stocking is inserted into this half cylinder so that the stocking tip points downwards or forwards. The upper edge is then knocked out over the half cylinder and pulled down on the outside, so that the inside of the compression stocking points outwards.
  • sliding socks consist of textile materials such as silk, nylon or lining materials.
  • These sliding socks consist of a sole part which extends approximately over the entire length of the foot and an upper part connected to it laterally and enclosing the front region of the foot.
  • the sliding sock is slipped over the bare foot. The compression stocking is then pulled over the foot that is partially covered by the sliding sock.
  • sliding sock somewhat reduces the friction between the compression stocking and the skin of the foot, putting on compression stockings, especially those with higher compression classes, is still very cumbersome and you have to be able to reach down to your foot with your hands. After putting on the compression stocking, the sliding sock is pulled out through its toe opening. For this reason, sliding socks are not suitable for putting on compression stockings with a lace, as they are Compression stockings have a closed toe section, which makes it impossible to pull out the sliding sock.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing a pull-on device for compression stockings, in particular compression stockings with a tip (with a toe part), which makes it much easier to put on a compression stocking, in particular a compression stocking of a higher compression class.
  • the sole part is then loaded where the adhesive spot is located, that is to say in the ball area and / or in the heel area. Since the sole part expediently has adhesive stains in both areas, a load on the foot in both areas, that is to say a uniform load on the foot, is also expedient. This load presses the sole part firmly against the inside of the compression stocking and the outside of the compression stocking firmly against the base. Since the material pairing, top of the washer and compression stocking has a high coefficient of friction, i.e. there is a high frictional resistance between the outside of the compression stocking and the top, the compression stocking is practically held by the top, or at least braked so much that it is only slightly above the Top the washer slides.
  • the side part initially lies on the outside of the ankle area and then also on the side of the lower leg and also improves the sliding properties between the leg and the inside of the compression stocking in these areas. If you continue to pull on, or rather put on, the compression stocking, you can put more pressure on the heel than the ball part and push the foot forward. As a result, the entire compression stocking slides very easily over the foot without the help of the hands, the leg part of the compression stocking also being pushed up over the ankle and a piece of the lower leg. You can of course also support this pushing up with your hands. The most difficult part of putting on a compression stocking is done and you only need to slide the leg part upwards towards the knee, which is a little effort. The side part also makes it easier to pull up.
  • the sliding part and the new base plate make putting on a compression stocking much easier and also possible for people who cannot reach down to their toes or do not have the strength to pull a compression stocking over their feet. Since the material of the compression stocking is braked in very many places on the base plate when the base plate is used and the above-described pushing of the foot on the base plate is applied, the compression stocking is pushed over the foot and not pulled. As a result, the circular tension of the compression stocking is not increased when pushed over, which in turn contributes to the ease of putting on the compression stocking.
  • the described process of putting on a compression stocking with the aid of the shim can be improved further by making the sliding part from materials not previously used for this purpose, which, when paired with a compression stocking and also with human skin, have a very low coefficient of friction and thus Reduce friction between the sliding part and the inside of the compression stocking or the skin to a minimum.
  • the sliding part consists of paper-like non-woven fabric made of thermally welded high-pressure polyethylene fibers (known under the trademark Tyvek) or polypropylene fibers (known under the trademark Typar).
  • the sliding part at least on its outside, consists of plastic film.
  • plastic films e.g. made of polyethylene or polypropylene or polyvinyl chloride, in combination with the material of compression stockings also have a low coefficient of friction and they are also relatively cheap materials, so that the sliding part can be manufactured inexpensively.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention consists in that the shim consists entirely of foam rubber.
  • Rubber or foam rubber has a relatively high coefficient of friction compared to compression stockings. The same applies between rubber or foam rubber and the usual materials of floors.
  • the foam rubber plate thus ensures that there is sufficient friction between its top and the compression stocking and its bottom and the floor.
  • Foam rubber is also an elastically flexible material and hugs the sole of the foot. As a result, the compression stocking is pressed by the sole of the foot in a very large area onto the top of the shim, which results in a high frictional resistance between the top and the compression stocking, which holds the outside of the compression stocking against the top or at least brakes it very strongly.
  • the new donning device for compression stockings is especially designed for compression stockings with a toe, ie with a closed toe section, but it can also be used for putting on compression stockings without a toe.
  • the tightening device first comprises a sliding part 1, which is shown in more detail in Figure 2.
  • This sliding part 1 consists of a sole part 2 and a side part 3 firmly connected thereto.
  • the plan view of the upper side of the sole part facing the sole of the foot 2 shows, the side part 3 is folded into the plane of the sole part 2.
  • the length and width of the sole part correspond approximately to the outline of the sole of a medium-sized foot, so that the slide part can then also be used for larger or smaller feet.
  • the entire sliding part 1 consists of a material which slides well both with respect to the compression stocking and with respect to human skin, ie has a low coefficient of friction with respect to the compression stocking and also human skin. Suitable materials are described in more detail below.
  • the sole part 2 has an adhesive spot 14 in the heel area on its upper side facing the sole of the foot when the compression stocking is put on, or an adhesive spot 15 in the ball area or such adhesive spots 14 and 15 in both of the aforementioned areas, as shown in FIG. It is sufficient if the rear adhesive spot 14 has a diameter d of approximately 40 mm and the front adhesive spot 15 has a width of approximately 60-70 mm.
  • the adhesive spots 14, 15 consist, at least on their upper side, of a material which has a high coefficient of friction with respect to human skin; they can expediently consist of rubber or a rubber-like material. To increase the coefficient of friction, the top of the adhesive spots 14, 15 can be roughened. An increase in the friction can also be achieved in that the adhesive spot is provided with knobs 15a or ribs 14a on its upper side.
  • the sole part 2 must on the one hand be sufficiently rigid in the direction of its plane so that it does not collapse when pushed forward in the compression stocking.
  • the sole part must be flexible perpendicular to its plane so that it can be attached to the The sole of the foot hugs and, when pulled out between the foot and lower leg on the one hand and the tight-fitting compression stocking on the other hand, can follow the shape of the foot as much as possible, since this shape is also taken up by the compression stocking. Attempts have been made to characterize these properties in the claims by the words "flexible sole part which is rigid in its plane".
  • the sole part 2 is expediently reinforced by a flexible insert 6 which is rigid in the direction of its plane, which is shown in FIG. 1 at position A on an enlarged scale is.
  • the insert 6 can consist of flexible plastic with a thickness of approximately 0.2-0.5 mm. If this plastic does not itself have good sliding properties compared to the compression stocking and also the skin, it is advisable to laminate the insert on both sides with a layer 2a of well-sliding material, this material advantageously being the same material from which the side part 3 is made consists.
  • the layer 2a or the layers 2a can be made in one piece with the side part 3.
  • the side part 3 is expediently connected to the sole part 2 approximately from the ball area of the sole part 2 to approximately the rear heel region, or it consists of one piece with the latter, as shown in FIG.
  • the connection of the side part 3 with the sole part 2 at this point has the advantage that the sole part 2 is pulled out laterally under the sole of the foot when the side part 3 is pulled out, which can be further facilitated by tilting the foot to the side, on which the side part 3 is connected to the sole part 2.
  • the side part 3 should extend about to below the knee when put on.
  • the length L of the side part 3 should be approximately 40-50 cm.
  • the width B of the side part can be approximately 12-16 cm.
  • the task of the sliding part 1 is to reduce the frictional resistance between the inside of the compression stocking and the foot, in particular the sole of the foot, when tightening.
  • the sliding part must consist of a material which slides well with respect to the compression stocking and which, when paired with the material of the compression stocking, has the lowest possible coefficient of friction.
  • the friction between the skin of the foot and the leg when the sliding part 1 between the foot and lower leg on the one hand and the close-fitting compression stocking on the other hand is pulled out should also be as low as possible.
  • So-called “synthetic paper", as used for packaging purposes, in particular for tear-resistant envelopes, is particularly suitable as the material for the sliding part 1.
  • the synthetic paper is a paper-like non-woven fabric made of thermally welded high-pressure polyethylene fibers, which is known under the trademark Tyvek.
  • a similar material is also suitable, which consists of thermally welded polypropylene fibers and is sold under the trademark Typar. Both synthetic papers are manufactured by the Du Pont company.
  • the sliding part can also be made of plastic film, e.g. Polyethylene, polypropylene or PVC film exist. If necessary, the plastic film can be reinforced by a fabric, which, however, should then also be laminated on the side facing the foot and the skin with a plastic film or the synthetic paper mentioned.
  • plastic film e.g. Polyethylene, polypropylene or PVC film exist.
  • the plastic film can be reinforced by a fabric, which, however, should then also be laminated on the side facing the foot and the skin with a plastic film or the synthetic paper mentioned.
  • the tightening device further comprises a base plate 5.
  • This base plate 5 is placed with its underside 5b on the floor F before the compression stocking is put on and essentially serves to increase the frictional resistance between the compression stocking K and the base.
  • the usual floor materials such as carpets made of wool or synthetic fiber, PVC, wood or stone floor coverings have a low coefficient of friction compared to compression stockings. For this reason, the base plate 5 should have a higher coefficient of friction on its upper side 5a than compression stockings than would be present between the usual floor coverings and compression stockings.
  • This higher coefficient of friction is intended to make the frictional resistance between the compression stocking K and the upper side 5a of the shim so large that the outside of the compression stocking K is held by the upper side 5a when it is tightened.
  • the coefficient of friction or the frictional resistance depend to a large extent on the material pairing, that is to say on the material of the compression stocking and the material of the upper side 5a, and also on the surface roughness of the material pairing.
  • Rubber in particular soft rubber, is particularly suitable as material for at least the upper side 5a of the base plate 5.
  • the top 5a can be roughened. As shown in FIG. 4, it can also have knobs 6.
  • the base plate 5 consists of an elastically flexible material.
  • Foam rubber has proven to be particularly suitable for this.
  • the frictional resistance depends on the size of the contact surfaces.
  • the underside 5b of the shim 5 must have a sufficiently high coefficient of friction compared to the usual floor materials, so that it is essentially immovable relative to the floor F when the foot is placed on it. Since foam rubber fulfills this condition and is also relatively inexpensive, it is expedient if the base plate 5 consists entirely of a foam rubber plate.
  • the thickness d of the foam rubber sheet can be approximately 8-12 mm, preferably 10 mm.
  • the base plate 5 is advantageously rectangular, its length should be at least 30 cm. A length greater than 30 cm is advantageous, since then the foot has to be reset less often when put on, as will be described in more detail below.
  • the base plate 5 'can optionally also have a layer structure. It can consist of a relatively rigid base plate 7, on the top of which a rubber plate 8 with knobs 6 directly or expediently with the interposition of one Foam rubber layer 9 is glued. Studded rubber plates and a foam rubber layer underneath, such as those used for table tennis rackets, should be suitable.
  • the underside 7b of the round plate 7 can either be roughened or provided with a friction-increasing covering so that it does not slip on the usual floor coverings.
  • the new donning device is used to put on a compression stocking as follows:
  • the base plate 5 is placed on the floor F and the compression stocking K is placed lengthwise on the base plate. Since the knitted fabric of the compression stocking has a certain stiffness in itself, it is possible to place the compression stocking K on the base plate in such a way that the leg opening B at the upper end edge of the compression stocking is open.
  • the sole part 2 should be pushed so far into the stocking that the rear end of the sole part ends approximately with the end edge of the compression stocking or also lies further inside in the compression stocking.
  • the side part 3 protrudes from the leg opening B. Then you push the foot, which is angled slightly downwards in relation to the lower leg, into the leg opening B until the entire sole of the foot is above the sole part 2. Then you press the foot on the sole part 2. If, as in the embodiment described, it has adhesive spots 14, 15 both in the heel area and in the ball area, then the foot is loaded evenly, so that pressure is exerted on both adhesive spots 14, 15 . If there is only one adhesive spot, then the main pressure should be on this adhesive spot. Due to the load on the sole part 2, the section of the compression stocking located between the sole part and the underlay plate 5 is pressed against the upper side 5a of the underlay plate 5.
  • the foot can be lifted off the backing plate together with the part of the compression stocking that has already been put on, and again to the first end of the shim 5 (to the right according to the drawing) without the part of the compression stocking already pulled pulled off the foot.
  • the tightening process can then be continued by loading the foot again and moving it in the direction V. If necessary, this can be repeated several times. It therefore does not matter if there is a certain amount of slippage between the outside of the compression stocking and the top 5a of the base plate when the foot is pushed forward.
  • the frictional resistance between the top and the compression stocking need only be so great that the compression stocking is held sufficiently by the washer 5 to ensure the relative displacement between the compression stocking and the sliding part 1 or foot.
  • the tightening process described can be continued by pushing the foot forward until the foot has reached its final correct position in the foot part of the compression stocking. If the foot section is slightly twisted relative to the foot, then the foot section can also be brought into the correct position by moving the foot sideways relative to the base plate 5. Then you slide the leg part of the compression stocking over the lower leg to the knee. You can also do this while pushing the foot forward.
  • the side part 3 rests on one side of the foot, the ankle area and then laterally on the lower leg and reduces the friction between the compression stocking and the foot or leg in these areas.
  • the part of the side part 3 protruding from the side of the knee from the compression stocking can now be grasped by hand and pulled towards the body.
  • the side part 3 is firmly connected Sole part 2 pulled out from under the sole of the foot.
  • the extraction can be promoted by tilting the foot to the side on which the sole part 2 is connected to the side part 3.
  • the entire sliding part 1 can then be pulled up between the leg and the part of the compression stocking lying against it.
  • part of the side part lies over the instep of the foot and the lower region of the shin when the compression stocking is pushed over. This reduces the frictional resistance between the compression stocking and the foot or leg in these areas. The frictional resistance can be reduced even more if the side part is wound helically around the lower leg.
  • rubber-like material such as a chemical substance, each consisting of half natural rubber and styrene-butadiene rubber (synthetic rubber) in question.
  • This rubber-like material has a very fine cell structure and is applied in a layer thickness of about 1 - 3 mm to a thin textile layer.
  • Such textile-reinforced material is used e.g. for the production of goalkeeper gloves.
  • This rubber-like, textile-reinforced material can be glued to both foam rubber plates and plates made of rigid material. This rubber-like material can also be used for the adhesive spots.
  • the new base plate can also be used as a pull-out aid for compression stockings by pressing the heel with the compression stocking pulled over it and pulling the foot backwards.
