Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Sockenauszieher mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a sock extractor with the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Durch die WO03/059131 ist ein Sockenauszieher dieser Art bekannt, dessen gesamter Schaft aus einem flexiblen Material besteht und der zur Verbesserung seiner Stabilität einen parallel zu ihm verlaufenden Stützschaft benötigt.By the WO03 / 059131 a sock extractor of this type is known, whose entire shaft is made of a flexible material and which requires a parallel to him extending support shaft to improve its stability.

Durch die DE29711584 ist ein in Form eines langen Schuhlöffels insgesamt steif ausgebildeter Sockenauszieher bekannt, an dem zum Abstreifen der Socke rückseitig ein sporenförmig abragender Fortsatz vorgesehen ist.By the DE29711584 is a generally in the form of a long shoehorn trained sock extractor known, on the back of a spore-shaped projecting extension is provided for stripping the sock.

Bei der Benutzung eines Sockenausziehers entsteht aufgrund der erforderlichen Bewegung des Schaftes über die Fersenkrümmung ein erheblichen Widerstand, da die Socke beim Eindringen des steifen Schaftes stark verformt werden muss, insbesondere wenn dabei der Fuss auf dem Fussboden aufsteht, so dass er dabei wesentlich hochgehoben werden muss. Die Benutzung vorbekannter Sockenauszieher ist deshalb mit erheblichen Schwierigkeiten verbunden.When using a Sockenausziehers arises due to the required movement of the shaft over the heel curvature a significant resistance, since the sock must be greatly deformed during penetration of the rigid shaft, especially if the foot gets up on the floor, so that he has to be lifted significantly , The use of previously known Sock extractors is therefore associated with considerable difficulties.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Sockenauszieher der eingangs genannten Art zu finden, der im Vergleich zu Vorbekannten das Ausziehen der Socke wesentlich erleichtert. Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe erfolgt aufgrund der Merkmale des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention has for its object to find a Sockenauszieher of the type mentioned, which greatly facilitates the extraction of the sock compared to prior art. The solution of this problem is due to the features of claim 1.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird im Folgenden an Hand zeichnerischer Darstellungen näher erläutert. Da die erfindungswesentlichen Merkmale sich auf den vorderenAn embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to drawings. Since the features essential to the invention are based on the front

Teil eines zweiteiligen Sockenausziehers beziehen, ist der anfügbare hintere, einen endseitigen Handgriff aufweisende Schaftteil nur teilweise durch Strichlinien angedeutet. Zur Vereinfachung wird im Folgenden dieser vordere Teil als der Sockenauszieher bezeichnet. Es zeigt:

Part of a two-piece Sockenausziehers relate, the attachable rear end portion having a handle portion is only partially indicated by dashed lines. For the sake of simplicity, this front part is referred to below as the sock puller. It shows:

Figure 5

Der Sockenauszieher 1 hat einen vorderen, schalenförmigen, zum Einschieben in eine einen Fuss umkleidende Socke bestimmten Eingriffsteil 2. Zur Anpassung an die Kontur einer von der Socke umkleideten Ferse ist dieser Eingriffsteil 2 zusätzlich zu seiner schalenförmigen Ausbildung elastisch verformbar. Für diese Formanpassung kann der Eingriffsteil 2 ausserdem gabelartig in vorderen Eingriffsfingern 3 - 6 enden.The sock extractor 1 has a front, cup-shaped engagement part 2 intended for insertion into a sock encasing a foot. In order to adapt to the contour of a heel clad in the sock, this engagement part 2 is elastically deformable in addition to its cup-shaped formation. For this shape adaptation of the engagement part 2 also fork-like in front engagement fingers 3 - 6 ends.

Weiterhin hat der Eingriffsteil 2 in seinem hinteren Bereich einen zum Kontakt mit dem Rand der auszuziehenden Socke bestimmten, quer verlaufenden Mitnehmer 7. Dadurch dass dieser Mitnehmer 7 querstegartig vom Eingriffsteil 2 nach unten absteht, erleichtert er das Abstreifen einer Socke vom einem Fuss und durch ihn kann der Sockenauszieher 1 auch als Schieber für die Positionierung eines am Boden liegenden Objektes verwendet werden.Furthermore, the engagement part 2 has in its rear region a certain for contact with the edge of the sock to be pulled, transversely extending carrier 7. Because this driver 7 protrudes from the engagement part 2 querstegartig down, it facilitates the stripping of a sock from a foot and through him Sockenauszieher 1 can also be used as a slide for positioning an object lying on the ground.

Ausserdem hat der als Kunststoffspritzteil ausgeführte Sockenauszieher 1 in seinem vorderen Bereich, angrenzend an den Eingriffsteil 2, einen biegsamen Schaftbereich 8, während der sich in Richtung zu dem hinteren, einen Handgriff aufweisenden, durch Strichlinien angedeuteten Schaftteil 9 erstreckende Schaftbereich 10, durch die Ausbildung als einseitig offenes Hohlprofil, biege- und torsionssteif ausgeführt ist. Die Biegsamkeit des Schaftbereiches 8 bei gleichzeitig ausreichender Torsionssteifigkeit wird bei flacher Querschnittsform beispielsweise durch seine Wellenform erreicht. Durch diese Biegsamkeit kann der Eingriffsteil (2) beim Einführen in eine Socke unter einen auf den Boden aufgesetzen Fuss gleiten.In addition, the running as a plastic injection molded sock extractor 1 in its front region, adjacent to the engagement part 2, a flexible shaft portion 8, while in the direction of the rear, having a handle, indicated by dashed lines shank part 9 extending shaft portion 10, by the training as one-sided open hollow profile, bending and torsionally rigid executed. The flexibility of the Shank area 8 with sufficient torsional stiffness is achieved in flat cross-sectional shape, for example, by its waveform. By this flexibility, the engaging part (2) when inserted into a sock can slide under a foot placed on the ground.

Die zweiteilige Ausführung des Sockenausziehers 1 hat den Vorteil, dass dieser platzsparend, z.B. zusammen mit einem Sockenanzieher desselben Patentanmelders verpackt und geliefert werden kann. Ein leichtes und biegesteifes Zusammenfügen beider Teile des Sockenausziehers wird durch die Verrastung eines Klinkenpaares 11 in einer nichtdargestellten, endseitigen Klinkenaufnahme des endseitigen Schaftteiles 9 erreicht.The two-part embodiment of the sock puller 1 has the advantage that it saves space, e.g. can be packed and delivered together with a Sockenanzieher the same patent applicant. A light and rigid assembly of both parts of the Sockenausziehers is achieved by the latching of a pair of pawls 11 in a non-illustrated, end pawl receptacle of the end-side shank part 9.

Ein z.B. im hinteren, dem Schaftteil 10 zugekehrten Bereich des Eingriffsteils 2 oder im nicht vollständig dargestellten Schaftteil 9 vorgesehenes Loch 12 erleichtert die hängende Aufbewahrung des Sockenausziehers 1 oder auch seine Handhabung, wofür wahlweise auch eine nicht dargestellte Schnurschlaufe durch das Loch geführt sein kann.An e.g. in the rear, the shank portion 10 facing portion of the engaging part 2 or provided in not fully illustrated shaft part 9 hole 12 facilitates the hanging storage of Sockenausziehers 1 or its handling, for which optionally a cord loop, not shown, may be passed through the hole.
