Definitions

  • the invention relates to a means for taking off elastic stockings, in particular therapeutic elastic stockings (also called support stockings).
  • therapeutic elastic stockings also called support stockings.
  • the invention is designed for people who have little strength to take off the support stocking by themselves.
  • the invention can be used by anyone else to be able to take off a stocking with more convenience and less effort. Also the service life of the stocking is increased.
  • US-A-5,924,609 discloses that a muff/sack of smooth material is pulled over the stocking and the stocking is folded over this muff/sack. According to this proposal the smooth material however remains insufficient below the folded over stocking and because of that a good eye-hand coordination and fine locomotion are required to use this means.
  • the object of the invention is versatile.
  • the invention is, according to one aspect, based on the recognition that for proper functioning the correct ratio between the general size of the means, the size of the elastic strap and the stiffness of the strap is probably essential.
  • the means 1 (viz. fig. 1 ) has the shape of a supple, possibly cylindrical tube, sleeve, sheath, sack or muff 2, open at the lower 3 and upper side 4.
  • the sleeve 2 can also have the shape of a truncated cone, to save material.
  • the lower side 3 could possibly be closed.
  • the sleeve 2 is made of a supple pliable and preferably not yielding and stretch free material with a low coefficient of friction, such as e.g. rayon (artificial silk), silk, spinnaker cloth, a nylon cloth with Teflon coating or a cloth of the company Eriks with the name Chemglass PTFE glass fabric 100-3, or another preferably textile or cloth like material.
  • rayon artificial silk
  • silk spinnaker cloth
  • nylon cloth with Teflon coating or a cloth of the company Eriks with the name Chemglass PTFE glass fabric 100-3, or another preferably textile or cloth like material.
  • border or tunnel 5 which forms a passage.
  • the border 5 is of the same material as the sleeve 2 and is an integral part of the sleeve 2.
  • the border 5 provides a channel containing an elastic yielding loop, ring or wire 6 of which the circumference measures between approximately 45 and 55% of the circumference of the sleeve 2 at the level of the top side 4 (differently spoken the length of the border 5).
  • the circumference of the loop 6 can not be changed other than by stretching of its material.
  • the loop 6 has a yield of at least 100% and a stiffness of approximately 1, 6 N/m and can freely move within the border 5.
  • the cross section of the wire of the loop 6 has a diameter of approximately 2 millimetres.
  • the sleeve 2 preferably has a length of 20 centimetres and the top side 4 a circumference of 44 centimetres.
  • the loop 6 can be fixed within the border 5, e.g. by stitches. It is preferred that the loop 6 can not or hardly displace in the direction parallel to the direction from the lower side 3 towards the top side 4 of the sleeve. For a proper functioning it is preferred that the loop 6 is completely surrounded by the material of the sleeve and/or the loop 6 is evenly along its length connected to the sleeve 2, e.g. with spacing along its length.
  • the procedure is as follows (viz. fig. 2 ). First the sleeve 2 with the border 5 at the top is pulled over the foot 7 and heel 8 such that the border 5 is present at the thinnest part of the ankle 9. Subsequently the stocking 10 is held at the top and in a single layer folded over the heel 8, such that the in fig. 3 illustrated situation is obtained.
  • the means Due to the correct ratio between the diameter of the sleeve 2, the diameter of the loop 6 and the correct stiffness of the loop 6, the means stays suspended from the ankle while the stocking 10 slides with little effort across the sleeve 2. From the time that the folded part 11 of the stocking 10 arrives at the border 5, the stocking will take the means 1 with it. Since the loop 6 can sufficiently yield elastically, the means 1 will follow across the ankle with only a small additional effort and will not obstruct the stocking during unrolling across ankle 9, heel 8 and foot 7.
  • the means 1 is available in several sizes.
  • the variation is determined by the diameter of the sleeve 2 with the corresponding diameter of the loop 6.
  • the ratio between heel-instep size (cY) and the ankle (cB) is critical. With two or three diameters the biggest part of the users can be supplied.
  • the Total length of the sleeve 2 is such that the part between the thinnest part of the ankle 9 and at least the mid of the foot 7 is covered by the means. In most cases 20 centimetres suffices.
  • FIG. 1 Also different embodiments of the invention are feasible, such as an embodiment wherein the loop is not inside a border but in maximum stretched state circular or partly circular stitched or differently mounted to the end of the sleeve, such that the border 5 can be absent.
  • the border 5 can also be located remote from the ends of the sleeve 2, e.g. midway the length of the sleeve 2 such that during taking off the stocking from the time the stocking takes the means with it the effort becomes even lower since in this state even two smooth parts of the slang 2 slide across each other.
