FIG. 2 is another illustration ofdevice 100. As illustrated inFIG. 2 ,first portion 102 may comprise a “u-shape” having afirst element 110 and a second element 112. By way of example only,second portion 104 may have a length L of between substantially 12 inches and substantially 16 inches. Furthermore, as a non-limiting example, a distance D betweenfirst element 110 at an end 111 and second element 112 at anend 113 may be substantially 4.5 inches.FIG. 3 is another illustration ofdevice 100 includingfirst portion 102 andsecond portion 104, which includesfirst element 110 and second element 112. It is noted that an at least a portion of an outer surface 114 offirst portion 102 may be sufficiently textured to enable outer surface 114 to assist in gripping an article of clothing, such as a sock. Further, at least a portion of an outer surface ofsecond portion 104 proximatefirst portion 102 may also be textured. - It is further noted that at least a top portion of
knob 126A may be bent inwardly, as represented by arrow 130A, toward a center of the “u-shape” formed byfirst portion 102. Similarly, at least a top portion ofknob 126B may be bent inwardly, as represented by arrow 130B, toward a center of the “u-shape” formed byfirst portion 102. Stated another way, at least a top portion of each ofknob 126A and knob 126 may be at an angle with respect tosecond portion 104.

device 100 will now be described. Initially, a sock (e.g.,sock 150 ofFIG. 4 ) may be held by one or two hands of the user, the user's mouth, or a combination thereof. Moreover,first portion 102 and, possibly, at least a portion ofsecond portion 104, may be positioned within an opening of the sock. As a non-limiting example, a user may positionsecond portion 102 within the sock and near a cusp of the sock to prop open the opening of the sock. As will be appreciated by a person having ordinary skill,first portion 102 may prop open the sock opening to enable a user, upon positioningdevice 100 near a foot of the user, to insert the foot within the opening. Thereafter, leading with the toes, a foot may be inserted through the opening of the sock and pulled up over an instep and heel of the foot with assistance ofdevice 100. It is noted that a user may maintaindevice 100 proximate a leg (i.e., calf region) and pulldevice 100 in a direction (i.e. away from the foot) to position the sock in the desired position. -
FIG. 4 illustrates asock 150 after being positioned onto afoot 152 and a portion of aleg 154 of a human with assistance fromdevice 100. As illustrated inFIG. 4 ,first portion 102, and a portion offirst portion 104, are positioned within opening ofsock 150. With reference toFIGS. 1-4 , it is noted thatgroove 120A,groove 120B,groove 122A, groove 122B,knob 124A,knob 124B,knob 126A,knob 126B, or a combination thereof, may assist in positioning a sock to enable a user to position his or her foot through a sock opening and into the sock. - Furthermore, to release
device 100 fromsock 150, a user may move device 100 a short distance (e.g., one inch) in a direction (i.e., a direction toward foot). Thereafter, the user may removedevice 100 fromsock 150. It is noted that, due to being bent inwardly, as noted above, knobs 126A and 126B may enable the user to easily detachdevice 100 from the sock after the sock has been positioned in a desired location. -
FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating anothermethod 200, in accordance with one or more exemplary embodiments.Method 200 may include positioning at least a head portion of a device through an opening of and into an article of clothing, the head portion including a surface including a knob at a first end of the head portion and another knob at a second, opposite end of the head portion (depicted by numeral 202).Method 200 may further include positioning at least a portion of a foot of a user into the opening (depicted by numeral 204). Further,method 200 may include moving a handle portion of the device extending from the surface of the head portion in a direction away from the foot to position the sock over the foot (depicted by numeral 206). - Accordingly, exemplary embodiments of the present invention may assist an individual having a lack of mobility (e.g., due to pregnancy, obesity, age, etc.) or a disabled individual, such as, for example only, a one arm amputee, surgery patients (e.g. hip or back surgery), a stroke victim, a person with paralysis, arthritis or an injury (e.g. injured wrist, shoulder, or arm, or carpal tunnel), in positioning an article of clothing (e.g., a sock) over a limb (e.g., a foot).
- The previous description of the disclosed exemplary embodiments is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these exemplary embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the generic principles defined herein may be applied to other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Thus, the present invention is not intended to be limited to the exemplary embodiments shown herein but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
