Abstract

The soft textile formation comprises two material pieces releasably connectable to one another, each of which have drawing components (19,20) at one end. The pieces are folded towards each other and overlap. A stocking (23) is enclosed in the folded-together material pieces, and then the foot of the wearer is inserted into the aperture formed between the material pieces. Then simultaneous drawing upwards on both drawing components successively brings the stocking into place.

Description

15 20 25 30 455 566 organen samtidigt applicerad kraft bringar båda material- styckena och därmed strumpan att successivt föras uppåt till dess strumpan har intagit avsett läge, varefter materialstyckena avlägsnas genom individuell vidare dragning i påföringsriktningen. The force applied simultaneously causes the two pieces of material and thus the sock to be successively moved upwards until the sock has assumed the intended position, after which the pieces of material are removed by individual further pulling in the direction of application.

Det är därvid lämpligt att utforma strumppàdragaren så, att dragorganen är pàsydda materialstyckena och är bil- dade av samma material som de sistnämnda och utgör des- sas förlängning.It is then suitable to design the stocking puller so that the pulling means are sewn to the pieces of material and are formed of the same material as the latter and constitute their extension.

Den förbättrade strumppàdragarens båda materialstycken hálles under pàdragningsproceduren väsentligt bättre samman om det finns medel som lösbart förbinder dem, särskilt för att förhindra relativrörelser i radiell led.The two pieces of material of the improved sock puller are held together considerably better during the tightening procedure if there are means which releasably connect them, in particular to prevent relative movements in the radial direction.

Sá exempelvis har det visat sig att om de båda mot va- randra riktade längskanterna hos materialstyckena har en förstyvade kant av företrädesvis plast och dessa för- styvningskanter med ett enkelt handgrepp kopplas samman, kan materialstyckena i allt väsentligt hàllas lästa mot varandra i radiell riktning men tillåter förskjutbarhet relativt varandra i längsriktningen, vilket sistnämnda underlättar materialstyckenas frigöring från benet när strumpan bringats pà plats.For example, it has been found that if the two mutually directed longitudinal edges of the material pieces have a stiffened edge of preferably plastic and these stiffening edges are connected with a simple hand grip, the material pieces can be kept essentially read against each other in radial direction but allows displacement relative to each other in the longitudinal direction, the latter facilitating the release of the pieces of material from the leg when the sock is brought into place.

Som ett ytterligare hjälpmedel kan de längskanter, ut- med vilka förstyvningslisterna är anordnade, förses med s.k. kardborrinfästningsband.As a further aid, the longitudinal edges, with which the stiffening strips are arranged, can be provided with so-called velcro fastening straps.

Andra för den nya strumppádragaren utmärkande detaljer framgår av den härefter följande beskrivningen, i vilken hänvisas till bifogade ritningar, där fig. 1 visar de båda materialstyckena med pàsydda drag- öglor i ett initialläge; fig. 2 visar materialstyckena enligt fig.l sammankoppla- 10' 15 20 25 30 455 566 de och omvikta; fig. 3 visar en de omvikta materialstyckena omslutande strumpa som skall dragas pá; och fig. 4 visar hur användaren genom kraftapplicering pà dragöglorna bringa: strumpan på plats.Other features of the new sock puller can be seen from the following description, in which reference is made to the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 shows the two pieces of material with sewn-on pull loops sewn in an initial position; Fig. 2 shows the pieces of material according to Fig. 1 interconnected and folded; Fig. 3 shows a sock enclosing the folded pieces of material to be pulled on; and Fig. 4 shows how the user, by applying force to the pull loops, brings the sock into place.

Strumppådragaren enligt uppfinningen består av ett förs- ta materialstycke 10 och ett andra materialstycke 11, vilka båda är utförda av ett mjukt tyg eller tygliknande material och som lämpligen har konventionella stagkanter 12 resp. 13.The sock tightener according to the invention consists of a first piece of material 10 and a second piece of material 11, both of which are made of a soft fabric or fabric-like material and which suitably have conventional stay edges 12 and 12, respectively. 13.

Längden av de båda materialstyckena 10,11 svarar unge- fär mot längden av en persons ben räknat från hälen till knäet. Materialstyckena 10,11 är inte identiskt lika ut- formade, vilket framgår av fig.1. Således är det andra materialstycket 11 något bredare än det första material- stycket 10. Det andra materialstycket ll uppvisar en markerad viklinje 14 som löper i materialstyckets längd- riktning.The length of the two pieces of material 10,11 corresponds approximately to the length of a person's legs calculated from the heel to the knee. The pieces of material 10,11 are not identical in design, as can be seen from fig.1. Thus, the second piece of material 11 is slightly wider than the first piece of material 10. The second piece of material 11 has a marked fold line 14 which runs in the longitudinal direction of the piece of material.

Vid det i fig.1 visade utgångsläget är de båda material- styckenas 10,11 mot varandra riktade längskanter vardera försedda med en förstyvande styr- och làslist 15 resp. 16, som pá lämpligt sätt är fixerad vid resp. längskant.In the initial position shown in Fig. 1, the longitudinal edges of the two pieces of material 10,11 are each provided with a stiffening guide and locking strip 15 and 15, respectively. 16, which is suitably fixed at resp. longitudinal edge.

Styr- och làslisterna 15,16 är inrättade att förlöpa längs större delen av resp. längssida hos materialstycke- na och anordnade att samverka med varandra pà sätt som pilen A i fig.l visar, d.v.s. styr- och làslisterna bringas överlappa varandra, varigenom materialstyckena 10,11 läses mot varandra och förhindrar att de fjärmas från varandra i radiell riktning men tillåter relativ- rörelse i längsriktningen. Som kompletterande medel kan även med varandra samverkbara s.k. kardborrband 17,18 anordnas, vilka då utgör hjälporgan för att hålla mate- rialstyckena l0,ll ytterligare fixerade under pàdragnin- gen av strumpan. 10 15 20 25 30 455 566 Vardera materialstycket 10,11 uppvisar såsom en förläng- ning av detsamma pásydda dragorgan 19,20, upptill utfor- made med öglor 21,22.The guide and locking strips 15,16 are arranged to run along the majority of resp. longitudinal side of the pieces of material and arranged to cooperate with each other in the manner shown by the arrow A in Fig. 1, i.e. the guide and locking strips are caused to overlap each other, whereby the pieces of material 10,11 are read towards each other and prevent them from being moved away from each other in the radial direction but allow relative movement in the longitudinal direction. As complementary agents, so-called cooperable so-called Velcro straps 17, 18 are provided, which then constitute auxiliary means for keeping the material pieces 10, 11 further fixed during the tightening of the sock. Each piece of material 10,11 has as an extension of the same sewn-on pulling members 19,20, formed at the top with loops 21,22.

Fig.2 visar att de båda materialstyckena 10,11, efter att ha sammankopplats medelst styr- och låslisterna 15, 16, bringas att överlappa varandra genom att först vika det första materialstycket 10 så, att dess stagkant 12 ligger inom omrâdet för det andra materialstycket ll och därefter vika det andra materialstycket ll utmed viklinjen 14, så att dess stagkant 13 faller inom och överlappande området för det första materialstycket 10.Fig. 2 shows that the two pieces of material 10,11, after being connected by means of the guide and locking strips 15, 16, are caused to overlap each other by first folding the first piece of material 10 so that its stay edge 12 lies within the area of the second piece of material. 11 and then fold the second piece of material 11 along the fold line 14, so that its stay edge 13 falls within and overlapping the area of the first piece of material 10.

Efter omvikningen bildar det första materialstycket 10 och det andra materialstycket ll en sammanviken och i viss utsträckning relativt varandra låst konfiguration enligt fig.2. Denna låsverkan förstärkes då om kardborr- infästningen 17,18 utnyttjas.After the folding, the first piece of material 10 and the second piece of material 11 form a folded and to some extent relatively locked configuration according to Fig. 2. This locking effect is then strengthened if the velcro fastening 17,18 is used.

Efter den ovan beskrivna och i fig.2 visade sammanvik- ningen av materialstyckena 10,11, bringas den ifråga- varande strumpan 23 att omsluta materialstyckena 10,11 på i fig.3 visat sätt, med strumpans 23 hälparti 24 riktat nedåt.After the folding of the material pieces 10,11 described above and shown in Fig. 2, the sock 23 in question is caused to enclose the material pieces 10,11 in the manner shown in Fig. 3, with the heel portion 24 of the sock 23 directed downwards.

Lämpligen placeras sedan strumppådragaren på golvet (användaren förutsättes sitta på en stol e.d.) varefter dragorganen säras i sidoriktningen. Båda draghandtagen 19,20 fattas sedan via enhands- eller tvåhandsfattning av användaren och foten trädes in i öppningen mellan matreialstyckena 10,11 varefter en kraft i benets längd- riktning appliceras på båda dragorganen 19,20. Genom att materialstyckena 10,11 bringats att löst överlappa varandra blir öppningen för foten expanderbar, d.v.s. anpassas till omfånget av användarens ben. Denna drag- kraft resulterar i att materialstyckena 10,11 tillsam- =mans med strumpan drages uppåt i benets längdriktning.Preferably, the sock puller is then placed on the floor (the user is assumed to sit on a chair, etc.), after which the pulling means are separated in the lateral direction. Both pulling handles 19,20 are then grasped via one-handed or two-handed grip by the user and the foot is entered into the opening between the mating pieces 10,11, after which a force in the longitudinal direction of the leg is applied to both pulling members 19,20. By causing the pieces of material 10,11 to loosely overlap each other, the opening for the foot becomes expandable, i.e. adapted to the size of the user's legs. This pulling force results in the pieces of material 10,11 together with the sock being pulled upwards in the longitudinal direction of the leg.

Claims
