TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a sock, sock, or stocking wearing aid used by a person with limited freedom in a part of the body.
[0002]
[Prior art]
When wearing socks, socks, or stockings (sometimes collectively referred to as socks), it is necessary to lean forward. Wearers, obese people, pregnant women, and the like cannot wear the clothes unless they are assisted by humans. The same applies to kindergarten children who are unfamiliar with life or those who have disabilities. For people who have difficulty bending forward, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 55-8792 proposes a wearing aid.
[0003]
The sock wearing aid described in the above publication has a long rod with a handle in which a sock to which the sock is attached is reversibly supported at the tip, and when used, the sock is inserted into the sock. At the same time, put the socks on the toes while pulling the socks into the feet while operating with the rod, and then the socks gradually fall out of the feet and fit into the feet Go out. In this way, since the sock needs to be removed from the foot after being put on, the foot pocket is formed in a curved shape close to a half cylinder shape.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, according to the above-mentioned wearing aid, since the rod is long like a walking stick and the foot pocket is a frame shape close to a cylindrical shape, it is not only large and heavy and inconvenient to use, but also the foot pocket is difficult to use. There is a problem that the user may be distracted by the appearance of the robot, such as rotating around an axis. By the way, patients are generally not good at heavy ones and bulky ones.
[0005]
In addition, a right angle bent portion is provided at the tip of the rod so that the rod does not hinder the foot when the foot is inserted. Therefore, there is also a problem that the operation force is unreasonable due to the fact that the operation force is unreasonable and the smooth operability is lacking. In addition, if the foot is large, it cannot be inserted into the foot.
[0006]
The present invention is light in weight and compact in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and furthermore, the operating force is evenly and rationally spread over socks and the like, and the operation is easy, and it can be used regardless of the size of the foot. The aim was to provide a possible sock, sock or stocking wearing aid.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a foot pocket consisting of left and right branch pieces projecting at a low inclination and projecting forward at the lower end of a handle with a handle, and a sock from the front outside the foot pocket. Characterized in that the space between the left and right branch pieces can be narrowed by elastic deformation so that a sock can be inserted, and the mouth of a sock or the like can be stopped at the entrance of the rear end of the foot or at the vicinity thereof. , Socks or stockings are provided.
[0008]
[Action]
Since the socks, socks or stocking wearing aids are configured as described above, when using the socks, if the socks are inserted from the tip while narrowing the feet, the socks due to the elasticity of the left and right branching pieces of the feet And so on, so that the foot can be reliably inserted from the entrance into the sock by pulling up with the handle while the mouth is stopped by the clip. After the sock is pulled up to complete the insertion, the foot is removed from the foot by removing the clip, so that the sock is put on the foot.
[0009]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Next, the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings showing some embodiments of the present invention.
[0010]
1 and 2 show an embodiment, in which a sock, sock or stocking wearing aid P is formed of an elastically deformable metal wire, plastic, or the like, so that it can be put on the lower end of the handle 1. 2 is formed so as to protrude so as to be inclined forward and low, and the foot pocket 2 is composed of forked branch pieces 3 and 3 which open so that the foot 4 can be inserted, and a rear end is provided between both branch pieces 3 and 3. And the front end is open to the outlet 6, respectively. A clip 8 for hooking the sock S is provided at the lower end of the entrance 5. As for use, first, the sock S is inserted from the outlet 6 to the outside of the foot pocket 2 so that the toe portion of the sock is as close as possible to the front end outlet 6 of the foot pocket 2, and the heel of the sock and the ankle are used. As shown in FIG. 2, the sock S is attached to the foot compartment 2 by retaining the sock S from the inclined portion of the foot compartment 2 to the rear and further stopping the mouth of the sock S on the clip 8.
[0011]
Both branch pieces 3 and 3 are composed of branch lines 3a and 3a whose base ends are separated by a crossing 9 and inverting receding lines 3b and 3b that bend backward from the branch lines 3a and 3a, and connecting lines 3c thereof. A clip 8 is attached. The clip 8 has a pair of sandwiching pieces 13 and 13 pivotally supported so as to be openable and closable, and is configured to sandwich the opening edge of the sock S by the elasticity of the coil spring 15. The structure of the sock S is not particularly limited as long as it can stop the mouth of the sock S such as a fastener member and a projection.
[0012]
A hook-shaped pull 17 is provided at the upper end of the handle 1. FIG. 2 shows a state in which the sock S is worn and then the shoe 4 is put on the foot 4. In FIG. When the user lifts and lifts in the direction of the arrow, the socks S are sequentially inserted into the feet 4. When the insertion is completed, the foot insert 2 is removed from the tip of the feet 4. To do so, release the stopper of the clip 8, lift it once along the foot 4, slide it over the sock S, and then slide it down from the outside of the sock S to your toes. However, in the following embodiment, the trouble of lifting up is eliminated.
[0013]
FIG. 3 shows that the clip 8 is attached so as to be located forward through a long member 19 such as a string or a wire for the purpose of saving time. In this case, when the sock S is put on the foot 4, Since the sock S is substantially disengaged from the foot compartment 2 (see a two-dot chain line), there is no need to raise the foot compartment 2 once so as to make it outside the sock S. In FIG. 3, the handle 17 at the upper end of the handle 1 has a T-shape, and has branches 3 and 3 that are directly separated without intersection 9.
[0014]
Further, in the following embodiment, it is not necessary to remove the foot insert 2 toward the foot. In FIG. 4, the connecting pieces 3c are open at the rear ends of the branch pieces 3 and 3, and are opened. In this way, since the lower surface of the foot pocket 2 is entirely open (there is no connection line c), the foot pocket 2 can be removed by simply pulling it up after the foot 4 has been worn.
[0015]
Even a person with a physical disability usually has access to the ankle, so that the length of the handle 1 is unnecessary. However, in FIGS. 3 and 4, the handle 1 is fitted to the core 1a just in case. It is formed in a tubular shape, and can be adjusted in length by stopping with a set screw 20. When the footrest 2 is made of metal, it is desirable that the footwear 2 be covered with a skin-friendly material (for example, soft plastic or cloth material).
[0016]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the socks, socks or stockings wearing aid of the present invention, since they are lightweight and compact, they can be used comfortably without worrying about their eyes, Because the foot is a bifurcated and uniform shape with respect to the handle, the operating force is reasonably spread over socks, etc., and the operation is very easy. There is an excellent effect that it can be used regardless.
