Der erste Abstand kann bis zu 10%, 20%, 30%, 50%, 75% oder 100% der Länge des Abstreifers betragen.The first distance can be up to 10%, 20%, 30%, 50%, 75% or 100% of the length of the scraper.

Jeder Begrenzungssteg kann von dem hinteren Ende des Abstreifers zu dem Standbügel verlaufen und mit diesem verbunden sein. Insbesondere kann jeder Begrenzungssteg zu dem Grundabschnitt verlaufen.Each boundary web can extend from the rear end of the scraper to the support bracket and be connected thereto. In particular, each boundary web can extend to the base section.

Jeder Begrenzungssteg kann ausgehend von dem Abstreifer in Richtung der Standebene verlaufen, wobei ein Abstand einer Unterseite des Begrenzungsstegs von der Standebene kontinuierlich abnimmt. Alternativ kann der Begrenzungssteg ausgehend von dem Abstreifer weg von der Standebene und anschließend in Richtung der Standebene verlaufen, wobei ein Abstand der Unterseite von der Standebene zunächst zunimmt und anschließend abnimmt.Each boundary web can extend from the stripper in the direction of the level, wherein a distance of an underside of the boundary web from the level steadily decreases. Alternatively, the boundary web, starting from the scraper away from the stand level and then extend in the direction of the level, wherein a distance of the bottom of the level increases first and then decreases.

Der dritte Abstand c kann bis zum 1fachen, 1,5fachen, 2fachen, 2,5fachen oder 3fachen der Länge L betragen.The third distance c may be up to 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 or 3 times the length L.

Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass jeder Führungssteg mit einem Begrenzungssteg verbunden ist oder einen Begrenzungssteg bildet.It can be provided that each guide web is connected to a boundary web or forms a boundary web.

Es kann zweckmäßig sein, wenn sich eine Breite, in Richtung des Grundabschnitts gesehen, des Abstreifers in Richtung zu der Standebene verringert.It may be expedient if a width, viewed in the direction of the base section, of the stripper decreases in the direction of the standing plane.

Ein Rand des Abstreifers kann im Querschnitt abgerundet sein und kann einen Rundungsradius zwischen 0,5 mm und 2,5 mm, insbesondere zwischen 0,8 mm und 1,5 mm und bevorzugt von 1 mm aufweisen.An edge of the scraper may be rounded in cross-section and may have a radius of curvature between 0.5 mm and 2.5 mm, in particular between 0.8 mm and 1.5 mm, and preferably of 1 mm.

Die Anlagefläche des Abstreifers kann zylindermantelförmig oder kegelmantelförmig gekrümmt sein mit einer parallel zur Längsachse verlaufenden Zylinder- oder Kegelachse und einen Krümmungsradius zwischen 3 cm und 20 cm oder zwischen 5 cm und 10 cm aufweisen.The abutment surface of the scraper can be curved in the shape of a cylinder jacket or cone-shaped envelope with a cylindrical or conical axis extending parallel to the longitudinal axis and a radius of curvature between 3 cm and 20 cm or between 5 cm and 10 cm.

Der Abstreifer kann eine Länge aufweisen, die mindestens 10%, 20%, 30% oder 50% und höchstens 60%, 75% oder 100% einer Fußlänge eines Benutzers beträgt, und insbesondere zwischen 2 cm und 20 cm oder zwischen 5 cm und 12 cm betragen kann.The scraper may have a length that is at least 10%, 20%, 30% or 50% and at most 60%, 75% or 100% of a user's foot length, and more preferably between 2 cm and 20 cm or between 5 cm and 12 cm can be.

Das vordere Ende des Abstreifers kann in einer von der Anlagefläche weg weisenden Richtung zurückgebogen sein, d.h. wenn die Anlagefläche eine Vorderseite des Abstreifers bildet, ist eine vordere Spitze des Abstreifers nach hinten gebogen. Die Spitze kann bezüglich der Anlagefläche zwischen 1 mm und 10 mm zurück gebogen sein, insbesondere zwischen 2 mm und 8 mm und bevorzugt zwischen 3 mm und 5 mm.The front end of the scraper may be bent back in a direction away from the abutment surface, i. when the abutment surface forms a front of the scraper, a front tip of the scraper is bent backwards. The tip can be bent back with respect to the contact surface between 1 mm and 10 mm, in particular between 2 mm and 8 mm and preferably between 3 mm and 5 mm.

An dem Standbügel können feste oder verstellbare Haltegriffe angebracht sein. Es kann vorgesehen sein, dass an jedem Schenkelabschnitt zwei parallele Griffstreben gehalten sind, an denen jeweils eine die Griffstreben verbindende Querstrebe oder mehrere beabstandete Querstreben als Haltegriff(e) gehalten ist (sind).Fixed or adjustable handles can be attached to the support bracket. It can be provided that two parallel gripping struts are held on each leg section, on each of which a cross strut connecting the gripping struts or a plurality of spaced cross struts is held as a handle (e).

Die Griffstreben können insbesondere parallel zu den Führungsstegen angeordnet sein.The grip struts can be arranged in particular parallel to the guide webs.

In einer Variante kann vorgesehen sein, dass jeder Haltegriff als U-förmiges Halteprofil ausgebildet ist, dessen parallele Schenkel in rohrförmigen Endabschnitten der Griffstreben höhenverstellbar und arretierbar aufgenommen sind.In a variant, it can be provided that each handle is designed as a U-shaped retaining profile whose parallel legs are accommodated in a height-adjustable and lockable manner in tubular end sections of the handle struts.

Die Führungsstege können sich bis zu einem Abstand von der Standebene erstrecken, der dem Abstand von oberen Enden der Haltegriffe von der Standebene entspricht.The guide webs may extend to a distance from the level of the stand, which corresponds to the distance from the upper ends of the handles of the stand level.

Fig. 1 bis 6 erläutern den Aufbau einer erfindungsgemäßen Ausziehhilfe für Strümpfe gemäß einer ersten Ausführungsform. Die Ausziehhilfe weist ein Gestell 2 auf, das zunächst aus einem U-förmigen Standbügel 4 mit einem Grundabschnitt 6 und zwei winklig davon abgehenden Schenkelabschnitten 8 besteht. In der dargestellten Ausführungsform beträgt der Winkel zwischen dem Grundabschnitt 6 und den Schenkelabschnitten 8 etwas weniger als 90°, d. h. die von dem Grundabschnitt 6 abgekehrten Enden der Schenkelabschnitte 8 haben einen kleineren gegenseitigen Abstand als die an dem Grundabschnitt 6 befindlichen Enden der Schenkelabschnitte 8. Dies hat im Wesentlichen ergonomische Gründe, damit sich an den Schenkelabschnitten 8 befestigte Haltegriffe 12 angenehmer greifen lassen. Die Schenkelabschnitte 8 können gegenüber dem Grundabschnitt 6 beispielsweise um einen Winkel zwischen 70° und 90° abgewinkelt sein, etwa 80°. Fig. 1 to 6 explain the structure of a pull-out aid according to the invention for stockings according to a first embodiment. The pull-out aid has a frame 2, which initially consists of a U-shaped support bracket 4 with a base portion 6 and two leg portions 8 which are angled away therefrom. In the illustrated embodiment, the angle between the base portion 6 and the leg portions 8 is slightly less than 90 °, ie, that of the base portion 6 opposite ends of the leg portions 8 have a smaller mutual distance than those located at the base portion 6 ends of the leg portions 8. This has essentially ergonomic reasons, so that at the leg portions 8 fastened handles 12 can be more comfortable grip. The leg portions 8 may be angled relative to the base portion 6, for example, by an angle between 70 ° and 90 °, about 80 °.

Die Haltegriffe 12 sind bei der ersten Ausführungsform dadurch realisiert, dass an jedem Schenkelabschnitt 8 zwei parallele Griffstreben 14 fixiert sind, von denen zumindest die oberen Endabschnitte hohl bzw. rohrförmig ausgebildet sind, so dass darin parallele Schenkel 16 eines U-förmigen Halteprofils 18 aufnehmbar sind. Die oberen, rohrförmigen Endabschnitte der Griffstreben 14 sind mit einem Außengewinde und einem mittigen Schlitz versehen, so dass sie durch Aufschrauben einer Befestigungsmutter 20 eine Klemmwirkung auf die eingeschobenen Schenkel 16 des Halteprofils 18 ausüben können und eine Höhenverstellbarkeit des Halteprofils 18 durch unterschiedliche Einschubtiefen möglich ist.The handles 12 are realized in the first embodiment in that on each leg portion 8 two parallel handle struts 14 are fixed, of which at least the upper end portions are hollow or tubular, so that parallel leg 16 of a U-shaped retaining profile 18 are receivable , The upper, tubular end portions of the handle bars 14 are provided with an external thread and a central slot, so that they can exert a clamping action on the inserted legs 16 of the holding profile 18 by screwing a fastening nut 20 and a height adjustment of the holding profile 18 by different insertion depths is possible.

Wie insbesondere Fig. 6 erkennen lässt, sind die Griffstreben 14 bevorzugt nicht rechtwinklig zu den Schenkelabschnitten 8 des Standbügels 4 bzw. zur Standebene 10 angeordnet, sondern unter einem Winkel von ca. 70° bis 80° dazu, damit ein im Gebrauch hinter der Ausziehhilfe sitzender Benutzer (Fig. 8 bis 13) die Haltegriffe 12 günstig ergreifen kann.In particular Fig. 6 can be seen, the handle bars 14 are preferably not perpendicular to the leg portions 8 of the stirrup 4 and the level 10, but at an angle of about 70 ° to 80 ° thereto, so that in use behind the pull-out sitting user ( Fig. 8 to 13 ) can grab the handles 12 low.

Oberhalb der Standebene bzw. des Standbügels 4 und mittig zwischen den Schenkelabschnitten 8 ist ein schuhlöffelförmiger Abstreifer 22 an dem Gestell gehalten. Der Abstreifer 22 weist eine wannen- oder trogförmige Grundform mit einer Anlagefläche 25 auf, mit einer Längsachse 22a, die unter einem Winkel 22b von etwa 70° bis 80° zur Standebene 10 verläuft und sich in einer zu dem Grundabschnitt 6 senkrecht verlaufenden Ebene befindet, bspw. einer gedachten vertikalen Mittelebene des Gestells, die vertikal zur Standebene, senkrecht zu dem Grundabschnitt 6 und mittig zwischen den Schenkelabschnitten 8 verläuft. Der Winkel 22b, der in Fig. 6 gestrichelt angedeutet ist, kann zwischen 10° (schematisch Fig. 6a, Anlagefläche 25 nach oben und vorn konkav geöffnet) und 120° (schematisch Fig. 6b, Anlagefläche 25 nach unten bzw. zur Standebene 10 und vorn konkav geöffnet) zur Standebene 10 betragen. Ein vorderes Ende 22c des Abstreifers 22 kann in der Standebene liegen, befindet sich aber hier in einem Abstand a oberhalb der Standebene 10, der einige cm betragen kann, bspw. mindestens ein, zwei oder drei cm. In jedem Falle befindet sich das vordere Ende des Abstreifers nicht unterhalb der Standebene, sondern allenfalls in dieser. Der Abstreifer 22 weist weiterhin für das Bein eines Benutzers eine Anlagefläche 25 mit einer um eine parallel zur Längsachse 22 liegende Zylinderachse zylindrischen Krümmung auf, deren Krümmungsradius zwischen 3 cm und 20 cm liegen kann und insbesondere zwischen 5 cm und 10 cm liegt, wobei die Anordnung so ist, dass der Abstreifer 22 bzw. die Anlagefläche 25 von vorn gesehen (Blickrichtung 22e) konkav ist. Eine Länge L des Abstreifers 22 beträgt ca. 10-12 cm.Above the level and the stirrup 4 and in the middle between the leg portions 8, a shovel-shaped scraper 22 is held on the frame. The scraper 22 has a trough-shaped or trough-shaped basic shape with a contact surface 25, with a longitudinal axis 22 a, which extends at an angle 22 b of about 70 ° to 80 ° to the level 10 and level in a to the base portion. 6 is an imaginary vertical center plane of the frame, which is vertical to the standing plane, perpendicular to the base portion 6 and centrally between the leg portions 8. The angle 22b, which in Fig. 6 indicated by dashed lines, can between 10 ° (schematically Fig. 6a , Contact surface 25 upwards and concave open at the front) and 120 ° (schematically Fig. 6b , Contact surface 25 down or to the level 10 and concave front) to the level 10 level. A front end 22c of the scraper 22 may lie in the level, but is here at a distance a above the level 10, which may be a few cm, for example. At least one, two or three cm. In any case, the front end of the scraper is not below the level, but at best in this. The scraper 22 also has for the leg of a user a contact surface 25 with a cylindrical axis lying about a longitudinal axis 22 cylindrical curvature whose radius of curvature can be between 3 cm and 20 cm and in particular between 5 cm and 10 cm, the arrangement so that the scraper 22 and the contact surface 25 seen from the front (viewing direction 22e) is concave. A length L of the scraper 22 is about 10-12 cm.

Ein äußerer umlaufender Rand 25a der Auflagefläche 25 oder des Abstreifers 22 ist im Querschnitt abgerundet, hier in Form eines die Auflagefläche 25 bzw. den Abstreifer 22 umschließenden Drahts 25b mit einem Durchmesser von ca. 4 mm.An outer peripheral edge 25a of the support surface 25 or the stripper 22 is rounded in cross-section, here in the form of the support surface 25 and the stripper 22 enclosing wire 25b with a diameter of about 4 mm.

An einem hinteren Ende 22d des Abstreifers 22, das in einem zweiten Abstand b oberhalb der Standebene 10 liegt, sind zwei in seitlichen Richtungen, also von einander und von der Längsachse 22a weg, abgehende Begrenzungsstege 24 gehalten. Die Begrenzungsstege 24 verlaufen zu dem Grundabschnitt 6, an dem sie endseitig fixiert sind. Eine zu der Standebene 10 weisende Unterseite der Begrenzungsstege bildet jeweils einen Sammelbereich 24a zum Aufnehmen eines Stumpfabschnitts eines abzustreifenden Strumpfs, wie die noch zu erläuternden Fig. 9-12 zeigen.At a rear end 22d of the scraper 22, which lies at a second distance b above the level plane 10, two limiting webs 24 are held in lateral directions, ie away from each other and away from the longitudinal axis 22a. The boundary webs 24 extend to the base portion 6, to which they are fixed end. An underside of the boundary webs pointing to the level 10 in each case forms a collecting area 24a for receiving a stump portion of a stocking to be stripped, as will be explained below Fig. 9-12 demonstrate.

Das hintere Ende 22d des Abstreifers 22 ist mit zwei der Anlage an und Führung durch einen Unterschenkel eines Benutzers dienenden Führungsstegen 26 verbunden, von denen jeder von einem von dem Grundabschnitt 6 abgekehrten Ende eines Schenkelabschnitts 8 bis zu einem höchsten Punkt 26a verläuft, der sich in einem dritten Abstand c von der Standebene 10, oberhalb des hinteren Endes 22d des Abstreifers 22, befindet, in dieser vorgegebenen Höhe umgebogen und nach unten zu dem Abstreifer zurückgeführt und mit diesem verbunden ist.The rear end 22d of the scraper 22 is connected to two guide webs 26 serving to abut and guide a user's lower leg, each of which extends from an end of a leg portion 8 facing away from the base 6 to a highest point 26a located in a third distance c from the standing plane 10, above the rear end 22d of the scraper 22, is bent at this predetermined height and returned down to the scraper and connected thereto.

Eine Spitze des vorderen Endes 22c des Abstreifers 22 ist bezüglich der Auflagefläche 25 in Richtung des Grundabschnitts 6 zurückgebogen, etwa um 3-5 mm, um den Abstreifer 22 leicht am Ansatz der Achillessehne vorbei bewegen zu können.A tip of the front end 22c of the scraper 22 is bent back relative to the support surface 25 in the direction of the base portion 6, about 3-5 mm, to easily move the scraper 22 on the approach of the Achilles tendon over.

Die Führungsstege 26 weisen einen solchen gegenseitigen Abstand auf, dass ein Benutzer den Bereich seines Beins, von dem ein Strumpf ausgezogen werden soll, d. h. in der Regel den Unterschenkel, zwanglos zwischen die Führungsstege 26 einführen kann, so dass auch die Ausziehhilfe als Ganzes eine Führung erfährt, wofür ein gegenseitiger Abstand der Führungsstege von ca. 15 cm bis 20 cm zweckmäßig ist.The guide webs 26 have such a mutual distance that a user the area of his leg from which a sock is to be pulled out, d. H. usually the lower leg, can easily introduce between the guide webs 26, so that the extension aid as a whole undergoes a guide, for which a mutual distance of the guide webs of about 15 cm to 20 cm is appropriate.

Fig. 7 bis 13 erläutern die Vorgehensweise zur Verwendung der erfindungsgemäßen Ausziehhilfe zum Ausziehen eines Strumpfs 30. Fig. 7 to 13 illustrate the procedure for using the pull-out aid according to the invention for taking off a stocking 30.

Fig. 7 zeigt den angezogenen Strumpf. Gemäß Fig. 8 wird die Ausziehhilfe vom Benutzer an den Haltegriffen 12 erfasst und angelegt, wobei sich der Abstreifer und der Grundabschnitt 6 des Gestells zwischen dem Unterschenkel und dem Körper des Benutzers befinden. Der Abstreifer 22 wird schuhlöffelartig an der Rückseite des Beins von oben zwischen Strumpf und Bein eingeführt, bis der obere Rand des Strumpfs gegen die Begrenzungsstege 24 anliegt (Fig. 8). Fig. 7 shows the dressed stocking. According to Fig. 8 the extraction aid is grasped and applied by the user to the handles 12, the scraper and the base portion 6 of the frame being located between the lower leg and the body of the user. The scraper 22 is inserted shoehorn-like at the back of the leg from above between stocking and leg until the upper edge of the stocking against the boundary webs 24 abuts ( Fig. 8 ).

Gemäß Fig. 9 wird dann die Ausziehhilfe am Bein heruntergeführt, bis die dem Grundabschnitt 6 gegenüberliegenden Endabschnitte der Schenkelabschnitte 8 am Boden aufliegen, wobei sich Abschnitte des Strumpfs in den Sammelbereichen 24a unter Faltenbildung stauen und sammeln, so dass der Strumpf durch die Begrenzungsstege 24 zwangsläufig entlang des Beins nach unten geführt wird.According to Fig. 9 The extraction aid is then lowered on the leg until the end sections of the leg sections 8 lying opposite the base section 6 rest on the floor, wherein sections of the stocking accumulate in the collecting areas 24a with wrinkling and gathering, so that the stocking forcibly travels along the leg through the limiting webs 24 is guided down.

Wie Fig. 10 zeigt, wird die Ausziehhilfe anschließend nach hinten bzw. zum Benutzer hin gekippt, bis sie vollständig auf dem Boden steht, d. h. bis die Standebene mit einer Bodenebene übereinstimmt. Durch die damit verbundene Hebelwirkung wird der Strumpf von dem Abstreifer 22 nach hinten aufgespannt oder in einen Abstand vom Bein bzw. Fuß gebracht.As Fig. 10 shows, the extractor is then tilted backwards or towards the user until it is completely on the ground, that is, until the level matches a ground plane. Due to the associated leverage of the stocking is stretched by the scraper 22 to the rear or placed at a distance from the leg or foot.

Wie Fig. 11 zeigt, kann die Ausziehhilfe noch weiter nach hinten gekippt und der Strumpf noch weiter aufgespannt werden, bis der Strumpf gemäß Fig. 12 ausreichend heruntergeführt und aufgespannt ist, so dass der Fuß aus dem Strumpf herausgezogen werden kann (Fig. 13). Der Strumpf bleibt an dem Abstreifer 22 und den Begrenzungsstegen 24 in den Sammelbereichen 24a zurück.As Fig. 11 shows, the pull-out can still further tilted back and the stocking be further tensioned until the stocking according to Fig. 12 is sufficiently lowered and stretched so that the foot can be pulled out of the sock ( Fig. 13 ). The sock remains at the wiper 22 and the limiting webs 24 in the collecting areas 24a.
