Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for putting on a stocking with a frame of two provided at an upper end with handles longitudinal beams and with a U-shaped clamp for stocking absorption between the lower ends of the longitudinal struts.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object with simple structural means to design a device for putting on a stocking of the type described so that a secure stripping of the stocking over the foot without risk of damage to the stocking can be ensured with ease of use.
  • the invention solves the problem set by the fact that the clamping bracket is part of a two clamping parts, namely the lower clamping bracket and cooperating with the lower clamping bracket upper clamping bracket, existing clamping device, and that a clamping member, the two longitudinal beams and the other of the two clamping parts two along connect the longitudinal bars against spring force displaceable adjusting rods together.
  • the arrangement of the cooperating with the clamping bracket clamp above the tension bracket is required. This fact can be considered constructively in a simple manner that the displaceably mounted in the hollow longitudinal bars adjusting rods between their lower, projecting beyond the longitudinal bars Ends carry the clamp, so the longitudinal bars are connected via the clamp.
  • the operation of the clamping device on the adjusting rods can be solved constructively advantageous if the longitudinal bars and the adjusting rods are provided on the side facing away from the opening of the U-shaped clamping bracket with transversely aligned, in pairs a handle associated handle parts for actuating the clamping device. These grip parts need only be adjusted against each other against the force of the actuators acting on the adjusting rods, which can be performed because of the pairwise affiliation of the handle parts to a handle with a largely natural hand position.
  • the spring loading of the adjusting rods can be done in the closing direction or in the opening direction.
  • closing springs simple construction conditions result when the closing springs surround an end section of the adjusting rods protruding beyond the upper end of the longitudinal struts and are supported on the end face of the longitudinal struts. Since the clamping of the stocking must be done on top of the clamp from above, so as not to affect the clamping of the stocking on the clamp from below, the clamping of the stocking on the clamp is achieved in that the closing springs move the adjusting rods along the longitudinal bars upwards so that the clamped stocking is clamped between the clamp and the clamp.
  • the clamping device can be locked in the open position.
  • a locking device be provided on the longitudinal beams, resilient hooks, which engage in a recess of the control rod.
  • the handle parts associated with the adjusting rods should be arranged below the handle parts of the longitudinal bars, so that the clamping device is automatically closed during a tensile load on the handles.
  • the independent opening of the clamping device via the opening springs saves the arrangement of a locking device for the open position.
  • This additional connection bracket does not hinder the putting on of a stocking because it comes to lie on the side of the shin when tightened and allows free movement of the frame forward.
  • the driver can be introduced into the stocking on the calf side, in order to then strip the stocking over the heel from the foot.
  • a downward driver is arranged as a pull-out for the stocking on the clamping bracket or on the clamp in the region of a web connecting the two stirrup legs. This driver running in the longitudinal direction of the lower leg does not interfere with the strap over the foot due to its orientation along the lower leg.
  • the tensioning bow and the clamping bow can be inclined upwards with respect to the longitudinal spars and the adjusting rods with the bow opening, whereby the foot position projecting from the lower leg is taken into account when putting on a stocking.
  • the apparatus for putting on a stocking comprises a frame 1 which forms two lateral longitudinal members 2, which are rigidly connected together by a U-shaped clamping bracket 3. Along this longitudinal beams 2 adjusting rods 4 are mounted longitudinally displaceable, which are connected via a clamping bracket 5 in conjunction.
  • the clamping bracket 5 forms with the clamping bracket 3 a clamping device, which are obtained on elastic pads 6 on the one hand of the clamp 3 and on the other hand of clamping webs 7 in the region of the longitudinal bars 4 jaws that clamp a drawn on the clamp 5 stocking on the clamping bracket 5.
  • This clamping is achieved by the clamping force of closing springs 8, which surround on the longitudinal bars 2 projecting end portions 9 of the adjusting rods 4 and are supported on the front side of the longitudinal members 2.
  • These longitudinal beams 2 are formed in the embodiment as a square tubes that receive the adjusting rods 4.
  • a handle combined grip parts 10 and 11 are provided, not only for guiding the frame 1, but also serve to open the clamping device against the clamping force of the closing springs 8.
  • the respectively enclosed by a hand grip parts 10 and 11 of the two handles need only to be pulled against each other, so that the projecting end portions 9 of the adjusting rods 4 are inserted into the hollow longitudinal members 2, which leads to a lifting of the tension bracket 5 of the jaws 6 of the clamping bracket 3 and the clamping webs 7.
  • a locking device 12 which consists of a respective mounted on the longitudinal beams 2, resilient hook 13 which engages in a recess 14 of the associated control rod 4 and so that the adjusting rods 4 are locked relative to the longitudinal members 2 in the open position of the clamping device.
  • a release lever 15 which is mounted in the handle portion below the handle portion 10 for the longitudinal beam 2 on this and pulls the resilient hook 13 from the recess 14 of the control rod 4 during its pivoting, resulting in a closing of the clamping device according to the closing springs 8 is connected.
  • the longitudinal members 2 are connected on the side facing away from the clamping bracket 3 by a U-shaped connecting bracket 16 which centrally carries a downwardly directed driver 17.
  • This driver 17 can be introduced into the sock on the calf side to then pull this stocking over the heel from the foot.
  • the clamping means acted upon by opening springs 18 which are arranged in the hollow longitudinal members 2, and the adjusting rods 4 load so that the clamping bracket 5 from the clamping bracket. 3 is lifted, as can be seen from Fig. 3.
  • the handle part 10 is rigidly connected to the longitudinal bars 2, the handle part 11 forms a pivoting lever 19, which is pivotably mounted on the handle part 10 via a pivot axis 20 and with the respective control rod 4 is connected via an eyelet 21, which is penetrated by the pivot lever 19.
  • pivoting lever 19 can be swung over the handle portion 11 against the handle portion 10, which has a retraction of the adjusting rods 4 in the longitudinal members 2 with the result that the clamping bracket 5 pressed against the clamping bracket 3 by clamping becomes.
  • a stocking pulled over the tensioning hanger 5 is thus clamped between the tensioning bow 5 and the clamping bracket 3 and can be easily struck by means of the device via a cross between the longitudinal members 2 foot.
  • an extension aid in the form of a downward driver 17 can be provided on the clamp 3, which can be inserted into the stocking on the calf side, so that the stocking is stripped off the foot via the heel when the frame 1 is guided accordingly.
