Description

DISPOSITIF POUR ENFILER UNE CHAUSSETTE OU UN BAS COMPRESSIF DEVICE FOR PUTTING ON A SOCK OR COMPRESSIVE BOTTOM
L'invention a pour objet un dispositif pour enfiler une chaussette ou un bas compressif .The invention relates to a device for putting on a sock or a compression stocking.
Pour certaines personnes, notamment pour des person- nés pouvant difficilement se baisser ou des personnes handicapées, il peut être difficile d'enfiler une chaussette. D'autre part, l'enfilage d'un bas compressif, qui présente en raison de son élasticité une certaine résistance peut s'avérer un problème pratiquement insurmontable.For some people, especially people who can hardly stoop or people with disabilities, it can be difficult to put on a sock. On the other hand, putting on a compression stocking, which has a certain resistance due to its elasticity, can prove to be a practically insurmountable problem.
De nombreux dispositifs ont été proposés dans le but de résoudre ce problème. Ces dispositifs ne donnent pas entière satisfaction, car la chaussette ou le bas glisse difficilement, de sorte que la mise en place de la chaussette ou du bas nécessite souvent l'aide d'un tiers.Many devices have been proposed in order to solve this problem. These devices are not entirely satisfactory, because the sock or the stocking slips with difficulty, so that the fitting of the sock or the stocking often requires the help of a third party.
Le but de la présente invention est de proposer un dispositif pour enfiler une chaussette ou un bas compressif qui soit aussi simple que possible et qui ne présente pas un encombrement important. Ce dispositif devra donc être réalisé de manière à ce que la chaussette ou le bas glisse sans nécessiter une aide extérieure dès que le pied de l'utilisateur est introduit dans la chaussette ou le bas.The object of the present invention is to provide a device for putting on a sock or a compression stocking which is as simple as possible and which does not present a significant bulk. This device must therefore be made in such a way that the sock or stocking slides without requiring external help as soon as the user's foot is inserted into the sock or bottom.
Le dispositif selon l'invention est caractérisé en qu'il comprend deux pièces latérales allongées, arrondies à leur extrémité supérieure, fixées sur un socle et placées adjacentes l'une à l'autre, de manière à former une gouttière de guidage, à l'intérieur de laquelle le pied de l'utilisateur peut glisser de haut en bas en entraînant une chaussette ou un bas compressif préalablement placé à l'envers sur les deux piè- ces latérales.The device according to the invention is characterized in that it comprises two elongated side pieces, rounded at their upper end, fixed on a base and placed adjacent to each other, so as to form a guide gutter, at the 'inside which the user's foot can slide up and down by driving a sock or a compression stocking previously placed upside down on the two side pieces.
Le dispositif sera avantageusement réalisé à partir d'une barre mince et formé de manière à représenter deux U inversés, les deux pièces latérales étant disposées de manière à ce que la gouttière forme un angle de sensiblement 50 à 60° avec le socle.The device will advantageously be made from a thin bar and formed so as to represent two inverted U's, the two side pieces being arranged so that the gutter forms an angle of substantially 50 to 60 ° with the base.
L'ensemble du dispositif peut être réalisé à partir d'une barre coudée, les extrémités des deux pièces en U étant repliées et rendues solidaires pour former un support posé sur le sol, dont la configuration sera sensiblement plus large que la gouttière formée par les deux pièces en U. Les deux branches arrière des deux pièces en U formant la gouttière peuvent être disposées sensiblement parallèles à 40 mm l'une de l'autre, les branches avant étant placées sensiblement à 120 mm l'une de l'autre, les deux branches de chaque U étant placées à une dis- tance de sensiblement 60 à 70 mm.The entire device can be made from a bent bar, the ends of the two U-shaped parts being folded and made integral to form a support placed on the ground, whose configuration will be substantially wider than the gutter formed by the two U-shaped pieces. The two rear branches of the two U-shaped pieces forming the gutter can be arranged substantially parallel to 40 mm from each other, the front branches being placed substantially 120 mm from each other, the two branches of each U being placed at a distance of approximately 60 to 70 mm.
Les parties des barres en U les plus éloignées l'une de l'autre peuvent présenter à environ 100 mm du sommet du U un pliage léger destiné à retenir la chaussette ou le bas lorsque celui-ci est placé sur le dispositif. Une roulette peut être placée au sommet arrière de la gouttière entre les deux pièces latérales allongées. Il est possible de prévoir deux roulettes supplémentaires, chacune étant disposée sur la partie arrondie de chaque pièce latérale. Une plaque peut maintenir la rigidité entre les parties arrières des deux pièces en U.The parts of the U-shaped bars furthest from each other may present, about 100 mm from the top of the U, a slight fold intended to hold the sock or the bottom when it is placed on the device. A caster can be placed at the rear top of the gutter between the two elongated side pieces. It is possible to provide two additional rollers, each being arranged on the rounded part of each side piece. A plate can maintain rigidity between the rear parts of the two U-shaped parts.
Dans la variante présentant une seule roulette placée au sommet arrière de la gouttière, celle-ci peut être montée sur un axe solidaire des deux branches arrière des U interrompu en son milieu, de manière à permettre une légère déformation de la gouttière lors de l'utilisation et le remplacement de la roulette.In the variant having a single caster placed at the rear apex of the gutter, this can be mounted on an axis integral with the two rear branches of the U interrupted in the middle, so as to allow a slight deformation of the gutter during the use and replacement of the caster.
Une tôle arrondie peut être prévue pour faciliter le glissement du talon de l'utilisateur au fond de la gouttière. Dans cette variante, la tôle arrondie sera rendue solidaire d'une seule branche d'une des pièces en U et sera simplement appuyée sur la branche adjacente de l'autre pièce en U, de manière à maintenir l'élasticité du dispositif.A rounded sheet can be provided to facilitate the sliding of the user's heel at the bottom of the gutter. In this variant, the rounded sheet will be made integral with a single branch of one of the U-shaped parts and will simply be pressed on the adjacent branch of the other U-shaped part, so as to maintain the elasticity of the device.
Un arrêt peut être placé sensiblement au milieu de chacune des branches avant des pièces en U, de manière à retenir le bas compressif lorsque le pied de l'utilisateur est poussé vers le bas sur la glissière.A stop can be placed substantially in the middle of each of the front branches of the U-shaped pieces, so as to retain the compression stocking when the user's foot is pushed down on the slide.
Des pattes de fixation peuvent être placées de part et d'autre du socle, de manière à recevoir des poignées de pré- hension. Le socle pourra être muni de pieds antidérapants destinés à empêcher le glissement du dispositif sur le sol. Le dispositif présentera avantageusement une hauteur de sensiblement 300 mm et les poignées auront une hauteur de 500 à 600 mm.Fixing lugs can be placed on either side of the base, so as to receive grip handles. The base may be fitted with non-slip feet intended to prevent the device from sliding on the ground. The device will advantageously have a height of substantially 300 mm and the handles will have a height of 500 to 600 mm.
Le dessin représente, à titre d'exemples, deux modes d'exécution ainsi qu'une variante du dispositif objet de l'invention.The drawing shows, by way of example, two embodiments as well as a variant of the device which is the subject of the invention.
Dans le dessin :In the drawing:
La fig. 1 représente un premier mode d'exécution du dispositif, particulièrement destiné à aider un utilisateur à enfiler une chaussette,Fig. 1 represents a first embodiment of the device, particularly intended to help a user to put on a sock,

la fig. 4 représente une vue de la partie supérieure du dispositif de la fig. 2, etfig. 4 shows a view of the upper part of the device of FIG. 2, and
la fig. 5 représente une vue de dessus d'une variante du dispositif de la fig. 2.fig. 5 shows a top view of a variant of the device of FIG. 2.
Comme mentionné plus haut, le premier mode d'exécution du dispositif pour enfiler une chaussette ou un bas représenté dans la fig. 1 est d'une extrême simplicité et est particulièrement destiné à enfiler une chaussette. Il comprend deux pièces latérales 2 et 3 formées de deux U inversés, présentant des branches 4 et 5 , respectivement 6 et 7 et une partie supérieure arrondie 8, respectivement 9. Les branches 5 et 7 sont sensiblement parallèles et placées à une distance approximative de 40 mm l'une de l'autre. Pour donner une certaine rigidité au dispositif, elles peuvent être reliées au moyen d'une plaque 10 soudée aux branches 5 et 7. La présence de la plaque 10 n'est pas obligatoirement nécessaire et si l'on veut que le dispositif garde une certaine élasticité, on renoncera à l'utiliser. Les parties avant du dispositif, qui consistent dans les branches 4 et 6 sont également sensiblement parallèles entre elles et se trouvent à une distance d'environ 120 mm l'une de l'au- tre. Elles présentent une partie légèrement coudée 11, respectivement 12, située à une distance d'environ 100 mm, relativement au sommet des parties arrondies 8 et 9. Ces parties légèrement coudées 10 et 11 permettent d'empêcher la chaussette de glisser vers le haut lorsque celle-ci est totalement enfilée sur les branches 2 et 3 du dispositif.As mentioned above, the first embodiment of the device for putting on a sock or stocking shown in FIG. 1 is extremely simple and is particularly intended for putting on a sock. It comprises two lateral parts 2 and 3 formed of two inverted U's, having branches 4 and 5, respectively 6 and 7 and a rounded upper part 8, respectively 9. The branches 5 and 7 are substantially parallel and placed at an approximate distance of 40 mm from each other. To give a certain rigidity to the device, they can be connected by means of a plate 10 welded to the branches 5 and 7. The presence of the plate 10 is not necessarily necessary and if we want the device to keep a certain elasticity, we will give up using it. The front parts of the device, which consist of the branches 4 and 6 are also substantially parallel to one another and are at a distance of approximately 120 mm from each other. They have a slightly bent part 11, respectively 12, located at a distance of approximately 100 mm, relative to the top of the rounded parts 8 and 9. These slightly bent parts 10 and 11 make it possible to prevent the sock from sliding upwards when it is completely threaded on the branches 2 and 3 of the device.
Finalement, les deux branches de chaque partie en U 4 et 5, respectivement 6 et 7, sont coudées de manière à être espacées l'une de l'autre de 60 à 70 mm.Finally, the two branches of each U-shaped part 4 and 5, respectively 6 and 7, are bent so as to be spaced from one another by 60 to 70 mm.
Les deux branches 5 et 7 forment un angle de 50 à 60° avec l'horizontale et le dispositif de la fig. 1 est réalisé, comme représenté dans le dessin, d'une seule pièce à l'aide d'une barre coudée en acier d'un diamètre de 8 mm. Les extrémités repliées 13 et 14 des branches 5 et 7 sont soudées sur la barre 15 formant avec les bras latéraux 16 et 17 le socle du dispositif. Le mode d'exécution de la fig. 1 présente encore des pieds antidérapants 18, 19, 20 et 21, se présentant sous forme de rondelles de caoutchouc collées sur les parties 15, 16 et 17 constituant le socle.The two branches 5 and 7 form an angle of 50 to 60 ° with the horizontal and the device of FIG. 1 is produced, as shown in the drawing, in one piece using a bent steel bar with a diameter of 8 mm. The folded ends 13 and 14 of the branches 5 and 7 are welded to the bar 15 forming with the lateral arms 16 and 17 the base of the device. The embodiment of fig. 1 also has non-slip feet 18, 19, 20 and 21, in the form of rubber washers bonded to the parts 15, 16 and 17 constituting the base.
Le dispositif qui vient d'être décrit en regard de la fig. 1 présente une hauteur de 300 mm environ. Le dispositif représenté dans la fig. 1 est comme mentionné plus haut réalisé à partir d'une barre en acier de 8 mm de diamètre et sera avantageusement chromé après que les deux soudures des extrémités 13 et 14 ainsi qu'éventuellement les soudures de la plaque 10 aient été réalisées, ceci pour faciliter le glissement de la chaussette sur le dispositif lors de son utilisation.The device which has just been described with reference to FIG. 1 has a height of approximately 300 mm. The device shown in fig. 1 is as mentioned above made from a steel bar of 8 mm in diameter and will advantageously be chromed after the two welds of the ends 13 and 14 as well as possibly the welds of the plate 10 have been made, this for facilitate the sliding of the sock on the device during its use.
L'utilisation du dispositif qui vient d'être décrit en regard de la fig. 1 est extrêmement simple et particulièrement efficace. Le dispositif est placé par terre et, si néces- saire, l'utilisateur pourra soit utiliser une chaise, soit s'appuyer sur une table par exemple. Il prendra une chaussette par sa tige et la déroulera sur les deux pièces en U 2 et 3, jusqu'à ce que la pointe de la chaussette s'applique sur les deux bords arrondis 8 et 9. Lorsqu'elle est en place sur le dispositif de la fig. 1, la chaussette est à l'envers, le talon placé à l'arrière du dispositif, c'est-à-dire adjacent aux branches 5 et 7 et à la plaque 10. La chaussette se présentera donc à l'envers et sera plissée, étendue entre les quatre branches 4,5, respectivement 6,7, des pièces latérales 2 et 3. L'existence des parties légèrement coudées 11 et 12 empêchera la chaussette de remonter sous la tension exercée par l'appareil. L'utilisateur placera ensuite le bout de son pied au sommet de l'appareil et descendra son pied parallèlement aux branches 4,5, respectivement 6,7 en exerçant une poussée vers le bas, poussée qui se terminera par une rotation lorsque le bout de son pied atteindra le sol. La chaussette glissera sur les extrémités arrondies 8 et 9 de 1 ' appareil et se mettra en place sans problème sur le pied de l'utilisateur. L'angle formé par les deux pièces en U, en particulier les branches 5 et 7 avec l'horizontale de 50 à 60°, facilitera considérablement le mouvement de translation que fait l'utilisateur, qui laisse son talon glisser sur les branches 5 et 7 pour terminer son mouvement par une rotation lorsque la pointe de son pied arrive au niveau du sol. L'utilisation de l'appareil ne pose aucun problème et il suffit d'un ou deux essais pour que toute personne en comprenne le fonctionnement.The use of the device which has just been described with reference to FIG. 1 is extremely simple and particularly effective. The device is placed on the floor and, if necessary, the user can either use a chair or lean on a table, for example. He will take a sock by its upper and unroll it on the two U-shaped pieces 2 and 3, until the tip of the sock is applied on the two rounded edges 8 and 9. When it is in place on the device of fig. 1, the sock is upside down, the heel placed at the rear of the device, that is to say adjacent to the branches 5 and 7 and to the plate 10. The sock will therefore appear upside down and will be pleated, extended between the four branches 4,5, 6,7 respectively, of the side pieces 2 and 3. The existence of the slightly bent parts 11 and 12 will prevent the sock from rising under the tension exerted by the device. The user will then place the tip of his foot at the top of the device and lower his foot parallel to the branches 4,5, 6,7 respectively by exerting a downward push, pushing which will end in a rotation when the end of his foot will reach the ground. The sock will slide on the rounded ends 8 and 9 of the device and will be put in place without problem on the foot of the user. The angle formed by the two U-shaped parts, in particular the branches 5 and 7 with the horizontal of 50 to 60 °, will considerably facilitate the translational movement made by the user, which leaves its heel slide on branches 5 and 7 to complete its movement with a rotation when the tip of his foot reaches ground level. There are no problems using the device, and one or two tries are enough for anyone to understand how it works.
Dans le mode d'exécution de la fig. 2, on retrouve exactement la même configuration que celle de l'appareil de la fig. 1. Le dispositif de la fig. 2 est cependant un peu plus complexe et particulièrement destiné à enfiler des bas compres- sifs, ce qui représente une opération beaucoup plus difficile à effectuer que l'enfilage d'une simple chaussette. D'autre part, les personnes portant des bas compressifs, présentent habituellement au niveau des jambes et des pieds, une sensibilité assez importante, de sorte que l'opération doit pouvoir se dérouler d'une manière encore plus facile que lors du simple enfilage d'une chaussette. Dans le dispositif des fig. 2 et 3 , on retrouve les deux pièces latérales 2 et 3 formées de deux U inversés, présentant des branches 4 et 5, respectivement 6 et 7, liées par une partie arrondie 8, respectivement 9. Les branches 5 et 7 sont sensiblement parallèles et de même, placées à une distance approximative de 40 mm l'une de l'autre. Les branches 4 et 6 sont également sensiblement parallèles entre elles et se trouvent à une distance de 120 mm l'une de l'autre. Elles présentent une partie légèrement coudée 11, respectivement 12, située à une distance d'environ 100 mm relativement au sommet des parties arrondies 8 et 9. Comme dans le mode d'exécution précédent, ces parties légèrement coudées 10 et 11 permettent d'empêcher le bas compressif de glisser vers le haut lorsque celui-ci est totalement enfilé sur les branches 2 et 3 du dispositif. Les deux branches de chaque partie en U 4 et 5, respectivement 6 et 7, sont coudées de manière à être espacées l'une de l'autre de 60 à 70 mm et les branches 5 et 7 forment un angle de 50 à 60° avec l'horizontale.In the embodiment of fig. 2, we find exactly the same configuration as that of the apparatus of FIG. 1. The device of fig. 2 is however a little more complex and particularly intended for donning compression hosiery, which represents an operation much more difficult to perform than donning a simple sock. On the other hand, people wearing compression stockings, usually present at the level of the legs and feet, a rather significant sensitivity, so that the operation must be able to proceed in an even easier way than during the simple donning of 'a sock. In the device of fig. 2 and 3, we find the two side pieces 2 and 3 formed of two inverted U's, having branches 4 and 5, respectively 6 and 7, linked by a rounded part 8, respectively 9. The branches 5 and 7 are substantially parallel and similarly, placed at an approximate distance of 40 mm from each other. The branches 4 and 6 are also substantially parallel to each other and are located at a distance of 120 mm from one another. They have a slightly bent part 11, respectively 12, located at a distance of approximately 100 mm relative to the top of the rounded parts 8 and 9. As in the previous embodiment, these slightly bent parts 10 and 11 make it possible to prevent the compressive bottom to slide up when it is fully threaded on the branches 2 and 3 of the device. The two branches of each U-shaped part 4 and 5, respectively 6 and 7, are bent so as to be spaced from one another by 60 to 70 mm and the branches 5 and 7 form an angle of 50 to 60 ° with the horizontal.
De même que le mode d'exécution de la fig. 1, le dispositif des fig. 2 et 3 est réalisé d'une seule pièce à l'aide d'une barre coudée en acier d'un diamètre de 8 mm, les extrémités repliées 13 et 14 des branches 5 et 7 sont soudées sur la barre 15 formant avec les bras latéraux 16 et 17 le socle du dispositif. Le dispositif des fig. 2 et 3 présente encore des pieds antidérapants 18,19,20 et 21.As well as the embodiment of fig. 1, the device of FIGS. 2 and 3 is made in one piece using a bent steel bar with a diameter of 8 mm, the folded ends 13 and 14 of the arms 5 and 7 are welded to the bar 15 forming with the arms side 16 and 17 the base of the device. The device of fig. 2 and 3 also have non-slip feet 18,19,20 and 21.
Au milieu des branches 4 et 6 du dispositif sont encore prévus des arrêts 22, respectivement 23, qui serviront de butées lorsque le haut du bas compressif sera déployé sur les deux branches 2 et 3. Les butées 22 et 23 sont réalisées ici à l'aide de rondelles de caoutchouc collées sur les branches 4 et 6. Elles peuvent cependant être réalisées d'une autre manière, par exemple à l'aide d'arrêts métalliques non représentés soudés sur les barres 4 et 6. Au sommet des branches 5 et 7 est fixé un axe 24, sur lequel est montée une roulette en caoutchouc 25.In the middle of branches 4 and 6 of the device are still provided stops 22, respectively 23, which will serve as stops when the top of the compression stocking is deployed on the two branches 2 and 3. The stops 22 and 23 are produced here at using rubber washers glued to the branches 4 and 6. However, they can be made in another way, for example using metal stops not shown welded to the bars 4 and 6. At the top of the branches 5 and 7 is fixed a pin 24, on which is mounted a rubber roller 25.
L'axe 24 et la roulette 25 sont représentés dans la vue de dessus de la fig. 4, la roulette 25, étant représentée en coupe. Comme visible sur la fig. 4, la roulette est réalisée dans un caoutchouc ou un élastomère très mou, présentant une dureté de 30 à 60 Shore et est monté sur une douille 26, qui pourra tourner sur l'axe 24. Comme représenté sur la fig. 4, l'axe 24 est interrompu et se présente sous forme de deux parties d'axe 24a et 24b, pouvant être écartés l'un de l'autre contre l'action ressort des deux branches 2 et 3 , afin de permettre, si nécessaire, le remplacement de la roulette 25.The axis 24 and the wheel 25 are shown in the top view of FIG. 4, the wheel 25, being shown in section. As seen in fig. 4, the caster is made of a very soft rubber or elastomer, having a hardness of 30 to 60 Shore and is mounted on a bush 26, which can rotate on the axis 24. As shown in FIG. 4, the axis 24 is interrupted and is in the form of two parts of the axis 24a and 24b, which can be separated from one another against the action spring from the two branches 2 and 3, to allow, if necessary, the replacement of the caster 25.
Si nécessaire, la roulette 25 peut en variante être réalisée en caoutchouc mousse et par exemple renforcée par un revêtement extérieur formant une enveloppe non représentée. De telles variantes peuvent être utiles pour des utilisateurs ayant des pieds et des talons très sensibles.If necessary, the roller 25 can alternatively be made of foam rubber and for example reinforced by an external coating forming an envelope not shown. Such variations can be useful for users with very sensitive feet and heels.
Dans le mode d'exécution des fig. 2 et 3 , on a ajouté une plaque légèrement arrondie 27, s ' étendant le long des bran- ches 5 et 7, en partant de la roulette pour aller pratiquement jusqu'au sol. Cette plaque 27 sera soudée sur une des branches 5 ou 7, et ne devra pas dépasser les branches latéralement, de manière à éviter la détérioration des bas compressifs. Comme mentionné plus haut, elle ne sera soudée que sur une des bran- ches 5 ou 7 , de manière à laisser l'élasticité au dispositif et de permettre le changement de la roulette en écartant les deux branches 2 et 3.In the embodiment of fig. 2 and 3, a slightly rounded plate 27 has been added, extending along the branches 5 and 7, starting from the wheel and going almost to the ground. This plate 27 will be welded to one of the branches 5 or 7, and must not exceed the branches laterally, so as to avoid deterioration of the compression stockings. As mentioned above, it will only be welded to one of the branches 5 or 7, so as to leave the elasticity to the device and allow the caster to be changed by moving the two branches 2 and 3 apart.
L'adjonction de cette plaque 27 n'est pas absolument nécessaire au bon fonctionnement de l'appareil. Elle a cepen- dant été ajoutée pour permettre le glissement du talon de l'utilisateur, dans le cas où son pied serait anormalement sensible .The addition of this plate 27 is not absolutely necessary for the proper functioning of the device. However, it has been added to allow the user's heel to slide, in the event that his foot is abnormally sensitive.
Sur les côtés des bras latéraux 16 ou 17, sont prévues des pattes de fixation 28 et 29, destinées à recevoir des tiges 30 et 31, terminées par des poignées de préhension 32 et 33.On the sides of the lateral arms 16 or 17, fixing lugs 28 and 29 are provided, intended to receive rods 30 and 31, terminated by gripping handles 32 and 33.
Les tiges 30 et 31 avec leurs poignées 32 et 33 auront une longueur de 500 à 600 mm et pourront avoir deux fonc- tions. L'une des fonctions consistera à servir d'appui à une personne qui est debout et qui utilise l'appareil. La deuxième fonction consiste à permettre à un utilisateur couché d'utiliser l'appareil et par conséquent de mettre un bas compressif avant de se lever. Il pourra alors s'asseoir, placer le bas compressif sur l'appareil et tirer celui-ci le long de sa jambe, après avoir préalablement introduit le bout de son pied dans le bas compressif.Rods 30 and 31 with their handles 32 and 33 will have a length of 500 to 600 mm and may have two functions. tions. One of the functions will be to support a person who is standing and using the device. The second function is to allow a lying user to use the device and therefore put on a compression stocking before getting up. He can then sit down, place the compression stocking on the device and pull it along his leg, after having previously introduced the tip of his foot into the compression stocking.
Comme l'appareil décrit en regard de la fig. 1, le mode d'exécution qui vient d'être décrit aura une hauteur de 300 mm environ et sera réalisé de préférence à partir d'une tige en acier. Il sera ensuite chromé de manière à permettre un glissement du bas aussi efficace que possible.As the apparatus described opposite fig. 1, the embodiment which has just been described will have a height of approximately 300 mm and will preferably be produced from a steel rod. It will then be chromed so as to allow the bottom to slide as efficiently as possible.
Comme pour le mode d'exécution de la fig. 1, l'utili- sateur glissera un bas compressif le long des branches 2 et 3 du dispositif, jusqu'à ce qu'il arrive en contact avec les butées 22 et 23. Il continuera à descendre le bas en formant un accordéon sur les branches du dispositif jusqu'à ce que l'extrémité du bas arrive en contact des parties arrondies 8 et 9, le talon étant placé du côté où se trouve la roulette 25.As in the embodiment of fig. 1, the user will slide a compression stocking along the branches 2 and 3 of the device, until it comes into contact with the stops 22 and 23. It will continue to descend the bottom, forming an accordion on the branches of the device until the bottom end comes into contact with the rounded parts 8 and 9, the heel being placed on the side where the caster 25 is located.
L'utilisateur introduira alors le bout de son pied à l'extrémité supérieure du dispositif et descendra celui-ci parallèlement aux branches 2 et 3 , la plante du pied, puis le talon, puis la jambe, s ' appuyant contre la roulette 25. Dès que le ta- Ion aura dépassé la roulette 25, l'utilisateur effectuera un mouvement de rotation de son pied pour amener celui-ci parallèlement au sol en continuant son mouvement de descente vers le sol. Le bas compressif, aussi tendu qu'il soit, se déroulera alors parfaitement le long de la jambe de l'utilisateur. Comme mentionné plus haut, le dispositif des fig. 2 et 3 pourra être utilisé après avoir été posé sur le sol, l'utilisateur étant debout ou assis, ou pourra être utilisé à l'aide des poignées lorsque l'utilisateur est en position cou- chée .The user will then introduce the tip of his foot at the upper end of the device and descend it parallel to the branches 2 and 3, the sole of the foot, then the heel, then the leg, pressing against the wheel 25. As soon as the tab has passed the wheel 25, the user will perform a rotational movement of his foot to bring the latter parallel to the ground while continuing its downward movement towards the ground. The compression stocking, as tight as it is, will then run perfectly along the user's leg. As mentioned above, the device of FIGS. 2 and 3 can be used after being placed on the ground, the user standing or seated, or can be used using the handles when the user is in the supine position.
Il va de soi que l'appareil qui vient d'être décrit en regard des fig. 1 à 4 peut subir des variantes. Par exemple, les tiges d'acier inox pliées peuvent être remplacées par des tubes. D'autre part, les deux pièces latérales allongées, ar- rondies à leur extrémité supérieure se présentant sous forme de deux U inversés, pourraient être remplacées par des plaques de métal ou en matière plastique, arrondies à leurs extrémités et fichées sur un socle, de manière à présenter une gouttière de guidage de même dimension que celle qui vient d'être décrite en regard des deux modes d'exécution des fig. 1 et 2.It goes without saying that the apparatus which has just been described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4 can undergo variants. For example, bent stainless steel rods can be replaced with tubes. On the other hand, the two elongated side pieces, rounded at their upper end, in the form of two inverted U's, could be replaced by metal or plastic plates, rounded at their ends and stuck on a base, so as to present a guide gutter of the same dimension as that which has just been described with regard to the two embodiments of FIGS. 1 and 2.
Dans la variante de la fig. 5, on a représenté un dispositif semblable à ceux des fig. 1 à 4, présentant, en plus de la roulette 26, deux roulettes 34 et 35 placées sur les parties arrondies 8 et 9. Les roulettes 34 et 35 peuvent être de plus petit diamètre que la roulette 26. In the variant of FIG. 5, there is shown a device similar to those of FIGS. 1 to 4, having, in addition to the wheel 26, two rollers 34 and 35 placed on the rounded parts 8 and 9. The rollers 34 and 35 may be of smaller diameter than the wheel 26.
