The sock attachment / detachment aid of the present invention is characterized in that the sock can be worn easily even in a sitting or sitting state, or in a standing posture, and that the sock can be reliably held even after the sock is removed. I assume.
Hereinafter, the details of the sock attachment / detachment aid of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

  The sock attaching / detaching auxiliary tool 1 shown in the figure is composed of a handle portion 10 and a main body portion 20 formed on the tip side of the handle portion 10. The main body 20 includes a pair of curved wings 21, a recess 22 formed between the wings 21, and a pair of locking portions 23 formed on the handle 10 side of the wings 21.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in the main body portion 20, when a pair of curved wing portions 21 are folded together, a tapered cylindrical body 24 is formed. Therefore, by inserting the opening 31 of the sock 30 into the cylindrical body 24, the sock 30 can be worn as shown in FIG.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the surface 25 (foot insertion surface) of the main body portion 20 is formed of a cloth material 26 such as a woven fabric or a non-woven fabric. Although various cloths and non-woven fabrics are used as the cloth material 26, it is particularly preferable to be formed of a felt material. By forming the surface 25 of the main body portion 20 with the cloth material 26, it is possible to realize a comfortable touch and a suitable slippery property when wearing the foot.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the back surface 27 (sock contact surface) of the main body portion 20 is formed of a synthetic resin having high slip characteristics, preferably a material such as polypropylene. Further, a plate-like shape-retaining material 29 having high hardness is sandwiched between the cloth material 26 of the main body 20 and the back surface 27. Further, the shape retaining member 29 is provided with a plurality of cuts 28.

  By sandwiching the shape-retaining material 29 between the cloth material 26 and the back surface 27, the main body portion 20 can be formed by combining portions having different hardnesses. In detail, in the vicinity of the handle portion 10, the central portion and the recess 22 are hard portions a having high hardness, and the notches 28 on both sides of the central portion are medium hard portions b having a little flexibility, and both wings 21 Is formed of a flexible portion c having flexibility.

  As described above, by forming the main body portion 20 by combining portions with different hardnesses, both wing portions 21 can be easily folded, and the vicinity of the handle portion 10, the central portion, and the concave portion 22 have a hardness portion a. Thus, the shape retention property of the cylindrical body 24 can be obtained, and the tip of the cylindrical portion 24 can be held in a cylindrical shape. The main body portion 20 is not limited to the combination of the portions having different hardnesses (the hardness portion a, the middle hardness portion b, and the flexible portion c), and the entire hardness is changed by changing the entire thickness and material. It can also be formed.

  Further, a pair of locking portions 23 is formed on the main body portion 20 and on the handle portion 10 side of both wing portions 21. The locking portion 23 has a function of locking the opening 31 of the sock when the sock 30 is attached to the cylindrical body 24 by folding the wing portions 21 to form the cylindrical body 24. As a result, as shown in FIG. 7, when the sock attaching / detaching aid 1 is pulled up, the opening 31 of the sock can be reliably pulled up to the upper part of the foot.

  As another preferred embodiment, the sock removal portion 11 is formed at the base of the handle portion 10. The sock removal part 11 is provided with the clamping part 12 formed in the taper shape, and the circular-shaped cloth holding part 13 formed in the base of the clamping part 12, as shown in FIG.

  The sandwiching portion 12 includes a pair of insertion portions 14 which are formed to be inclined toward the cloth holding portion 13. The sandwiching portion 12 inserts one of the insertion portions 14 into the opening 31 of the sock 30 when removing the sock, and the sock 30 can be easily removed by pushing the handle 10 downward.

  The cloth holding portion 13 has a substantially circular shape, and as shown in FIG. 9, when the sock 30 is pulled downward, the opening 31 of the sock 30 is accommodated in the cloth holding portion 13. As a result, even after removing the sock 30 from the foot, the sock 30 is held at the tip of the handle portion 10, and it is not necessary to pick up the sock 30 that has fallen to the floor.

Next, a method of using the sock attaching / detaching aid of the present invention will be described based on FIG. 4, FIG. 5, FIG. 6, FIG. 7, and FIG.
First, both wings 21 are overlapped to form a cylindrical body 24 (FIG. 4). Next, the sock 30 is attached to the cylindrical body 24 (FIG. 5). With the sock 30 attached, the foot is accommodated in the sock 30 (FIG. 6). After containing the foot, pull up the handle 10. At this time, since the opening 31 of the sock 30 is locked to the locking portion 23 of the main body 20, it can be pulled up to the upper side reliably (FIG. 7). After wearing the sock 30, the main body 10 is removed.

  When removing the sock 30, one insertion portion 14 of the holding portion 12 of the handle 10 is inserted into the opening 31 of the sock 30, and the handle 10 is pushed downward (FIG. 9). Further, by pushing the handle 10 downward, the sock 30 can be easily removed from the foot. Even after the sock 30 is removed from the foot, the opening 31 is accommodated in the cloth holding unit 13, so that the sock 30 can be kept held at the tip of the handle 10. As a result, it is possible to save time and effort to pick up the sock 30 that has fallen to the floor.

  As described above, the sock attachment / detachment aid of the present invention can wear socks easily while sitting or sitting on a chair, or standing up, and also securely hold socks even after removing the socks. You can save time and effort to pick up socks that fell on the floor. Therefore, elderly people, pregnant women, and obese people can easily put on and take off socks.
