Description

  The present invention relates to a wearing aid such as a sock, and more particularly to a wearing aid for wearing a medical sock used by a person with a disease such as a venous reflux disorder or a lymph reflux disorder in the lower limbs.

  As shown in FIG. 9, Patent Literature 1 proposes a wear assisting tool 110 such as a sock that can be easily worn alone for elderly people, physically handicapped persons, and the like. The wear assisting tool 110 such as socks projects a symmetrical bar-shaped base 121 from the user's near side to the back, and is provided with an arc-shaped widening portion 123 at the tip thereof. The user can put on the sock without bending his / her waist or bending his / her leg by locking the mouth of the sock to the widened portion 123.

Patent Document 2 describes a medical stocking worn to improve a leg that has become thick due to a venous perfusion disorder or a lymph perfusion disorder. That is, this stocking strongly presses the lower limbs from the surroundings, and is particularly designed so as to compress the portion closest to the ankle most strongly and gradually reduce the pressing force toward the thigh. And by wearing this stocking, circulation of veins and lymph can be promoted.
However, such a stocking is formed in a contracted state with a very strong elastic force in order to strongly press the lower limbs. For this reason, in order to wear, it is necessary to expand with a strong force, which is a great pain for women and elderly people.

  Patent Document 3 describes a wearing aid that assists in wearing such medical stockings. As shown in FIG. 10, this wearing aid 210 has a cylindrical frame body 221 whose diameter gradually changes so that it can be divided into two parts, and a collar part 223 is formed at the end on the large diameter side. In addition, a mounting device is separately prepared for mounting the stocking on the wearing aid 210, and can be mounted with a small force by applying the principle of the lever.

The stocking is attached so as to cover the entire frame body 221 from the end portion on the small diameter side of the wearing assisting tool 210, and the mouth portion of the stocking can be locked and fixed to the large-diameter side collar portion 223.
The user can insert the foot tip from the end portion on the large diameter side and gradually pull up the wear assisting tool 210 to the leg portion while removing the stockings little by little from the frame body 221 to wear it. It is described that the wear assisting tool 210 is divided into two parts after being worn. In this way, medical stockings that require a strong force for wearing can be easily worn even by women and elderly people.

  However, in order to wear socks or the like, the wearing device must be used together with the wearing aid 210, so that a high cost is required as a whole. The wearing device is operated by setting the wearing aid 210 on the wearing device, then attaching the stocking to the guide, then operating the lever to widen the guide, and then removing the stocking from the guide. It is a very complicated process such as moving to the wearing aid 210.

The outline | summary of the wear assistance tools 10, such as socks of this invention, is demonstrated with FIG.1 and FIG.2.
The wearing aid 10 such as a sock includes a base portion 20, a frame body portion 30 provided on one side of the base portion 20, and an operation portion 50 provided on the other side of the base portion 20. The base portion 20 is integrally formed with a pair of base pillars 21 provided with an arch-like connecting member 25 at the top thereof. When wearing socks or the like, the base portion 20 is positioned on the knee, so that the knee fits between the two pillars 21. Moreover, since strong force acts between both base pillars 21 by elasticity, such as socks, a highly rigid material is used for the arch-shaped connecting member 25 so as not to be deformed.

The frame 30 includes a fixed frame 31 that is fixed to both the base pillars 21 and a pair of rotary frames 41 that are provided with blade bodies 46 on a rotary shaft 45 that is inserted through the base pillars 21. The operation unit 50 includes a handle 51 for rotating the rotation shaft 45 and a fixing means 60 for stopping the rotation. By operating the handle 51, the rotation frame 41 rotates. That is, the blade body 46 rotates about the rotation shaft 45.
FIG. 1 shows a “closed state” in which the blade body 46 is positioned at the center of the fixed frame 31, and FIG. 2 shows an “open state” in which the blade body 46 is positioned facing upward. . The “closed state” is a state when a sock or the like is attached to the frame body portion 30, and the “open state” is a state when the user wears the sock or the like.

The fixed frame 31 will be described with reference to FIG.
The fixed frame 31 is formed by curving one bar in an arch shape, and both ends are fixed to the base column 21. The shape of the fixed frame 31 can be formed simply by bending in a planar manner, but is complicatedly formed by adding a vertical curve.

The curved portion 37 at the tip is arched and slightly curved downward. This is for putting a foot on when wearing and making it a stable posture. Further, after wearing on the toes, the heel is slid so that the legs can easily pass over the curved portion 37.
The vicinity of the base pillar 21 is also curved downward to form a curved portion 38. This is to lock the vicinity of the mouth of the sock when the sock is worn.
The fixed frame 31 is provided with a pair of bearings 35 so as to pivotally support the tip end portion of the rotation shaft 45.

The rotation frame 41 will be described with reference to FIGS.
The pair of rotation frames 41 is formed by providing a blade body 46 on a rotation shaft 45. FIG. 4 shows a “closed state” in which a pair of blade bodies 46 are brought close to each other, and FIG. 5 shows an “open state” in which both blade bodies 46 face upward.

  The rotation shaft 45 is inserted into a shaft hole (not shown) provided in the base column 21, is positioned along the fixed frame 31, and can be rotated by a cylindrical bearing 35 provided at the distal end portion of the fixed frame 31. Is pivotally supported. And it rotates by operating the handle | steering-wheel 51 of the operation part 50 grade | etc.,.

  The blade body 46 includes a main blade 47 and an auxiliary blade 48 formed using two bar members. The main blade 47 and the auxiliary blade 48 are fixed to the rotating shaft 45 at both ends, and are connected to each other at a connection portion 49. The blade body 46 includes a tip portion 42 having a small turning radius with respect to the turning shaft 45 and a root portion 43 having a large turning radius. The auxiliary blade 48 constitutes the root portion 43 together with the main blade 47. The tip portion 42 having a small turning radius is a portion that widens the ankle portion having the strongest elasticity in socks or the like, and the base portion 43 having a large turning radius is a thigh portion having the largest diameter such as a sock. It becomes the part which expands.

In the front end portion 42, the main blade 47 is provided so as to protrude from the bearing 35 toward the front end side, and is formed to have the same length as the fixed frame 31. As a result, the position where the blade body 46 is provided is not limited to substantially the entire length of the rotating shaft 45, but is provided so as to protrude from the bearing 35 toward the front end side. The distal end portion 42 expands an ankle portion such as a sock together with the curved portion 37 of the fixed frame 31.
When the base portion 43 formed by the main blade 47 and the auxiliary blade 48 is in an open state, it forms an arc shape so that the thickest portion such as socks is greatly expanded. The root end portion 44 is a portion that locks a mouth portion such as a sock.

  In FIG. 6, the operation unit 50 is shown in a closed state, the movements of the handle 51 and the rotation frame 41 are shown by arrows, and the open state is shown by a chain line. A pair of rotating shafts 45 inserted through the base column 21 has a handle 51 attached to the ends. When the handle 51 is rotated in the direction of the arrow, the handle 51 and the rotation frame 41 are rotated to a position indicated by a chain line. That is, the closed state can be changed to the open state.

However, when the sock is worn, it is compressed by the elastic force of the sock or the like, so it is difficult to keep it open, and it reverses and tries to return to the closed state.
Therefore, a device for preventing the reverse rotation and maintaining the open state is necessary, and the fixing means 60 is provided. As the fixing means 60, any device can be used as long as it can hold the open state. For example, if a locking part such as a claw is provided on the base column 21 and a part of the handle 51 can be locked in the open state, this becomes the fixing means 60.

  Here, the case where a ratchet mechanism is used as the fixing means 60 is shown. The ratchet mechanism is a common mechanical element in mechanical engineering and need not be described. This fixing means 60 incorporates a tooth wheel, a pawl, a spring, etc. in a box and can be rotated in the direction of the arrow in the figure, but it can prevent reverse rotation at a short pitch. it can. Then, by operating the release lever 61, it can be returned to the original position. By using the ratchet mechanism, the operation is simplified, the left and right handles 51 can be opened at the same time, and socks can be easily worn.

Apart from the fixing means 60 having a ratchet mechanism, the movable range of the handle 51 is preferably limited by a pin or the like as appropriate.
Further, it is preferable that the handle 51 is formed so that the length of the handle can be expanded and contracted, and is usually in a compactly stored state, and is extended only when used. In FIG. 6, the handle 51 indicated by a broken line is in an extended state.

  FIG. 7 shows a state where the sock is attached to the wearing aid 10 such as the sock. In the closed state (upper figure), the wear assisting tool 10 such as socks can be worn relatively easily by women and elderly people because the frame 30 is very compact. When the curved portion 37 of the fixed frame 31 and the distal end portion 42 of the rotating frame 41 are inserted into the mouth portion of the sock and slid until it contacts the base portion 20, the upper half of the sock is caused by the curved portion 38 of the fixed frame 31. While being locked softly, the mouth portion of the sock can be locked to the root end portion 44.

  By turning the handle 51 to the open state (shown below), the sock can be greatly expanded with a small force. At this time, the wearing aid 10 such as a sock is in a state as shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 8, and the right and left sides of the sock are greatly expanded by the fixed frame 31 and the rotating frame 41 to form a tunnel-like space. Will be. Therefore, the user can grasp the handle 51 with both hands and easily insert the lower limb into the sock.

  The user inserts the lower limb into the wearing aid 10 such as the sock on which the sock is attached, puts the foot on the curved portion 37 of the fixed frame 31, and wears the sock on the toe portion. Next, the leg is protruded so as to get over the curved portion 37, and the entire leg is worn. As can be understood from FIG. 8, only the connecting member 25 on the front side and the bending portion 37 on the front end are limited to the movement of the lower limbs except for the members on both sides. And since the distance of the connection material 25 and the curved part 37 is 2 times or more with respect to the distance between both sides, a leg can be inserted easily.

  For wearing on the entire foot, the wearing aid 10 such as socks is gradually lifted from the lower leg toward the upper leg, and the connecting member 25 is moved away from the lower leg as it is lifted. When wearing is finished, the thigh is inserted from the lower side to the upper side of the wearing aid 10 such as socks. Therefore, by pulling out the lower limbs from the wearing aids 10 such as socks, the wearing operation is completed.

  The wearing aid 10 such as the socks of the present invention can be easily worn with medical socks that have been difficult to wear in the past, especially for those who are weak, such as women and elderly people, It can be worn easily. In addition, not only medical socks, but also normal socks can be worn easily by persons with physical disabilities, and can be used widely.
