Abstract
The invention relates to a dressing aid (10) for putting on an article of clothing provided with at least one opening. Said aid comprises the following components: (a) a mounting section (17 a, 17 b) for at least partially mounting the article of clothing, (b) an expansion mechanism (11 a, 11 b, 14) for expanding the mounting section, thus widening the opening of the mounted article of clothing, and (c) locking means (24, 25), which prevent the contraction of the mounting part once the article of clothing has been mounted. The invention also relates to a dressing aid (90) for taking off an article of clothing of this type and to a set comprising a dressing aid (10) for putting on and an aid (90) for taking off said clothing.
Description
- The invention refers to dressing aids according to one of the preambles of the independent claims.
- People who are unable to bend down, e.g. due to troubles with their backs, have great difficulties putting on or taking off pieces of clothing such as e.g. socks and therefore need a dressing aid to assist them or possibly actually allow them to dress independently.
- A dressing aid for putting on a sock is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,756,453. The dressing aid comprises two posts that are each provided with a loop and connected to each other by means of a hinge. To put on a sock, the latter is slipped on the two loops and subsequently stretched by spreading apart the two posts such that the foot may be slipped into the opening of the sock.
- A drawback of this dressing aid is that the procedure requires a substantial effort for spreading the two posts and therefore donning a sock turns out to be difficult. Another drawback is that when the sock has been put on, the bows and the hinge are on the side of the fibula and therefore the foot needs to step over the hinge to bring the two rods to the front. Based on this prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a dressing aid that eliminates these drawbacks at least partly and that facilitates changing articles of clothing.
- This object is attained by a dressing aid as indicated in independent claim 1. Besides another dressing aid, the remaining claims indicate preferred embodiments as well as a set of dressing aids.
- The dressing aid of the invention offers the advantage that changing clothes is facilitated and in particular that the effort required for taking off resp. putting on an article of clothing is relatively small. Further advantages will be apparent from the following description.
- Exemplary embodiments of the invention will be explained in more detail hereinafter with reference to the drawings, where:
