Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

[Technical field to which the invention belongs]

 The present invention relates to an assisting device for assisting in putting on and taking off socks, which is the most difficult part of the elderly, frail, or physically handicapped people, especially those with lower limb disabilities, in changing clothes in daily life.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In order to put on socks, it is necessary to bend the waist deeply and bend the lower limbs. Therefore, for people with relatively limited mobility, such as those who do not bend their legs or hips enough, wearing socks by themselves is a significant physical distress. And effort is needed.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

 However, conventionally, there is no known means for resolving such difficulties, and a relatively physically handicapped person as described above is required to spend a considerable amount of time and time alone. Or had to be worn by a caregiver, causing mental and physical distress.

[0004] The present invention is intended to solve such a problem, and its purpose is to enable a person with a physical disability to easily wear socks or the like without resorting to an assistant. An object of the present invention is to provide a sock-wearing aid that can wear socks.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above, the means adopted by the present invention will be described with reference to the symbols used in the embodiment.The auxiliary equipment for wearing socks according to claim 1 is an elderly person, a frail person or It is premised on wearing aids such as socks for a physically handicapped person, comprising a base, a support rotatably mounted at an arbitrary angle on the base at an arbitrary angle, and An annular portion attached to an upper end portion, to which an upper part of a sock is mounted, and an end of a lower limb can be inserted in an axial direction of the annular portion, and a part of the annular portion is radially inserted. The gist was that the ends of the lower limbs were opened to allow communication.

[0006]

[Embodiment of the invention]

 Embodiments of the auxiliary equipment for wearing socks according to the present invention will be described, but this is a typical example, and the present invention is limited by the following examples unless the gist is exceeded. Not something.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a sock-wearing aid 100 according to the present invention. The base 10 is attached to an arbitrary position on the base 10 so as to be rotatable at an arbitrary angle. And a ring body 30 attached to the upper end of the support 20 and mounted around the upper part of the sock. On the base 10, an end of a support column 20 is rotatably provided via a hinge. The support 20 is configured so that a support member 21 rotatably attached to the support 20 can be inserted into and fixed to the elongated hole 11 formed on the base 10 so that the support 20 can be fixed at an arbitrary angle. Have been. Since a plurality of the long holes 11 are formed on the base 10, if the support member 21 is inserted into a desired long hole 11, the support column 20 can be adjusted to an arbitrary angle. Note that the angle adjustment of the support 20 is not limited to the above embodiment, and may be any adjustment as long as the change does not depart from the gist of the present invention.

The support 20 is rotatably provided near the end of the base 10 so that the ring 30 does not hit the edge of the base 10 when the support 20 is folded. It is composed of Thus, by making the wearing aid 100 foldable, it is excellent in portability and there is no trouble in placing the wearing aid 100. At the upper end of the column 20, there is provided an annular body 30 on which the upper part of socks is mounted. The base 10, the support 20 and the ring 30 are made of wood or plastic, but are not limited thereto.

As shown, the annular body 30 is formed in a circular shape and has a diameter such that an end of a lower limb can be inserted in the axial direction thereof. Here, the ends of the lower limbs refer to the feet, ankles and calves. The annular body 30 is partially open in the radial direction so that the ends of the lower limbs can communicate with each other. Both ends of the annular body 30 are formed in a rounded tapered shape. In this manner, by forming the both end portions 31 in a rounded tapered shape, it is possible to easily wear around the upper part of the sock. That is, when a sock is to be mounted on the ring body 30, as shown in FIG. 2, first, both ends of the ring body 30 are locked so as to cover the two outer ends 31 from the upper outer surface of the sock. This is because the upper part of the sock is expanded from the inner diameter to the outer diameter of the part 30 and wound and mounted. In this way, by expanding and wearing the sock, a space in which the foot can be inserted is formed, so that the insertion position of the foot can be easily determined and the foot can be easily inserted.

According to the wearing aid 100 configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 3, even a person with a physical disability can easily wear socks even while sitting on a chair or the edge of a bed. be able to. First, the upper part of the sock is attached to the ring body 30 of the wearing aid 100 for socks in a predetermined state as described above. Then, the wearing aid 100 is placed on the edge of a chair or a bed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, a space in which a foot can be inserted is formed by attaching the ring body portion 30 so as to expand the upper part of the sock. Next, if the sock is inserted from the toe of the foot into the inner space of the sock formed by being attached to the ring body portion 30, the sock is covered to a position above the ankle. Then, with the toe of the foot inserted to the tip of the sock, the foot is further moved downward, so that the upper part of the sock is disengaged from the ring portion, and the sock is mounted on the foot. Then, when the end of the lower limb to which the sock is attached is communicated with the opening of the ring body, the attaching operation is completed. This allows the socks to be worn without the need to flex the waist or the lower limbs, and without the need for additional hands, so it is necessary for the disabled or elderly to adopt a posture that feels physical distress. Absent.

As described above, the wearing aid 100 such as a sock according to the present invention includes the base 10, the column 20 rotatably attached to an arbitrary position on the base 10 at an arbitrary angle, and An annular portion 30 attached to the upper end of the support post 20 and fitted around the upper part of the sock. The end of the lower limb can be inserted in the axial direction of the annular portion. Are opened in the radial direction so that the ends of the lower limbs can communicate with each other.

Therefore, if the wearing aid shown as an embodiment according to the present invention is used, the socks do not need to bend the waist deeply or the lower limbs, and also do not need to use the hand to pull up the socks. Because it can be worn, it is not necessary for the disabled or elderly to take a posture that causes physical distress.

As described above, the embodiment according to the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the specific configuration is not limited to this embodiment, and does not depart from the gist of the present invention. Even if there is a change in the design in the above, it is included in the present invention. For example, in the embodiment, the annular body portion 30 is formed to have a rounded tapered shape at both end portions. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and may be the one shown in FIG. 5 or FIG. That is, what is shown in the figure is that the upper end of the sock is locked at three points: the two end portions 31 of the ring portion 30 and the locking portion 22 provided so as to protrude upward from the upper end of the column 20. Is what you do. According to this, as shown in FIG. 6, it is not necessary to attach the upper part of the sock to the whole ring part 30, and it is merely necessary to cover both the tip parts of the ring part 30 from the inner surface of the upper part of the sock. Then, the socks are fitted so as to cover the upper outer surfaces of the socks on the locking portions 22 provided on the columns. As a result, the upper part of the sock is expanded and locked at three points, so that an insertion space into which the foot can be inserted is formed. In the embodiment of the wearing aid 100 having such a configuration, it is apparent that substantially the same function as that of the above-described embodiment can be obtained. In addition, the fixing portion 12 is fixed to the base 10 so that the column 20 in this embodiment is fixed at a predetermined angle.

Although not shown, the base 10 and the support 20 are made of at least two members, and are made compact and freely foldable by commonly known means. The material is made of synthetic resin or the like to reduce the weight. It is convenient to carry and can be used not only at home but also in various places such as travel destinations.
