Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for threading a garment onto at least one lower limb of a human being, of the type comprising a handle provided with a grip handle, and a stirrup for supporting the garment around an insertion opening. of the or each lower limb, said opening being provided with an elastic band, in which the stirrup extends substantially transversely to the end of the handle and internally delimits an insertion passage for the or each lower limb.
- Such a device is intended for people with disabilities, victims of back pain, lumbago, sciatica, as well as people recently operated on the abdomen and who cannot reach the end of their feet in order to put it on socks, stockings, panties, or tights.
- This device extends the arm of the disabled person, thus enabling him to put on the end of one or both of his lower limbs, the garment previously placed on the device.
- the garment support means comprise a rigid ring articulated at the end of the handle. Clips are provided for retaining the garment on the ring around an opening for introducing a lower limb.
- Document G 8627221.7 filed on October 6, 1986 describes a neighboring device in which the garment is retained on a rigid C-shaped stirrup by means of a peripheral link added in an external groove of the stirrup. The garment is thus held by pinching between the stirrup and the link.
- the object of the invention is to provide a device for putting on a garment which does not have the drawbacks mentioned above, which can be used quickly and simply for garments provided with an opening bordered by an elastic band.
- the subject of the invention is a device for putting on a garment on at least one lower limb of a human being, of the aforementioned type, characterized in that the stirrup carries on its external lateral wall a range of application of the elastic band of the garment, and in that said area is bordered on most of its periphery on the side opposite to the sleeve by an outer rim retaining the elastic band on the range of application.
- the device can include one or more of the following characteristics:
- the range of application is a substantially cylindrical surface of which a generatrix extends substantially parallel to the axis of the handle;
- the application range extends over a width greater than twice the height of the outer edge
- the stirrup has an additional outer rim bordering the range of application on the side of the handle over most of its periphery;
- stirrup is a split ring
- stirrup is an incomplete split ring delimiting an open contour
- FIG. 2 is a top view of an alternative embodiment of a support bracket entering the structure of a device according to the invention.
- FIG. 3 is a partial perspective view of another variant embodiment of the device according to the invention.
- the device shown in Figure 1 comprises a handle 10 provided, at one end, with a handle 12 and, at its other end, means 14 for supporting a garment to be put on a lower member.
- the latter are removably mounted at the end of the handle by means of a threaded sleeve 15 for receiving the threaded end of the handle 10.
- the handle 12 has the shape of a flattened tongue, substantially curved along the axis of the handle 10. This handle is intended to be used also as shoe horns to facilitate the introduction of the foot in a shoe, the handle 10 then being held in the hand from its threaded end.
- the means 14 for supporting the garment comprise a stirrup 16 extending transversely to the axis of the handle 10.
- the latter is delimited by a cylindrical shell 18 split longitudinally.
- the ferrule delimits an open fork-shaped outline, the two arms of the stirrup having their ends separated from one another.
- the stirrup defines a passage for introducing a lower limb.
- the sleeve 15 is arranged in the middle part of the fork defining the stirrup.
- the ferrule 18 defines a smooth cylindrical surface 20, the generatrix of which extends parallel to the axis of the handle 10.
- the external lateral surface of the ferrule 18 has, in its median part, a peripheral area 22 of application of the elastic band of the garment. This is formed by a cylindrical generator surface parallel to the axis of the handle 10.
- a sock A is engaged on the stirrup 16. It has an upper opening bordered by an elastic band B.
- the area 22 is bordered on the lower periphery of the ferrule 18 on the side opposite to the handle 10 by an outer rim 24.
- This rim has a height sufficient to ensure the retention of the elastic strip on the area of application 22.
- the height of the rim is advantageously between 1 and 4 cm and is for example 2 cm.
- the rim 24 has a rectangular section, so that it defines, with the range of application 22, a shoulder 26. Its thickness is for example 1 cm.
- the width (measured along the axis of the handle 10) of the range of application 22 of the elastic band is advantageously greater than twice the height of the lower edge 24. In practice, it is between 2 and 8 cm and is advantageously equal at 4 cm. This width corresponds to the width of the elastic strip of the covering to be put on.
- the stirrup 16 has an additional outer rim 28 bordering the area of application 22 of the elastic strip over most of its upper periphery on the side of the handle 10.
- the application area 22 is bordered laterally on either side by the flanges 24 and 28.
- This arrangement externally gives the stirrup 16 a U-shaped section forming a channel for receiving the elastic band of the garment.
- the stirrup 16 is made of a polymer material whose stiffness is sufficient to allow it to retain its general shape under the action of the elastic band B of the garment. However, the material is chosen with sufficient elasticity to allow a separation of the two branches of the stirrup when introducing a lower member into the passage which it delimits.
- the elasticity of the stirrup is chosen so that, for an internal diameter of 9 cm in the absence of clothing, the diameter of the stirrup is 5 cm, after the application of the elastic band of the clothing , a reduction of around 40% of its initial diameter.
- the elasticity of the material is such that the cross-section of the stirrup is reduced by 20 to 60% when the garment is put in place.
- the handle 10 being secured to the stirrup 16
- the garment to be put on for example a sock
- the garment to be put on for example a sock
- the user grasps it by the handle 12. He puts on the stirrup 16 carrying the garment at the end of one of his feet. He then reassembles the device by pulling on the handle until he can grasp the end of the garment with his hands. He then extracts the stirrup 16 from the elastic band of the garment by manually enlarging the opening of the garment in order to release the stirrup therefrom.
- FIG. 2 is shown an alternative embodiment of the stirrup of a device according to the invention.
- This stirrup is formed by a split ferrule in the shape of a fork carrying in its middle part a sleeve for joining to the handle 10.
- the ferrule In its current part, the ferrule defines an arc of circle 48 of radius R extending over an opening of 180 °.
- Each branch of the stirrup is extended, at its end, by a rectilinear section denoted 50.
- These two rectilinear extensions 50 extend parallel to one another and are tangentially connect to the arc 48 defining the current part of the stirrup.
- the flanges 24 and 28 extend over the extensions 50.
- FIG 3 is shown another variant of a stirrup, denoted 100, intended to support a garment by being introduced into an opening thereof bordered by an elastic band.
- the stirrup 100 is formed by a split cylindrical role forming a complete ring delimiting a closed contour.
- the two ends marked 102 and 104 of the shell overlap.
- the ferrule externally defines a range 106 of application of the elastic band. It is bordered at its lower periphery by a flange 108 for retaining the strip and in its upper part by a flange 110. The latter delimits with the flange 108 a channel for receiving the elastic strip.
- the end 104 received inside the ring has no flanges 108 and 110, so that the pad 106 can be applied exactly against the interior lateral surface denoted 112 of the stirrup.
- the stirrup 100 being made of an elastic polymer, it is understood that the section of the passage defined by the latter can vary as a function of the stress applied by the elastic band, and as a function of the forces applied by the lower limb during its introduction in the stirrup.
- stirrup 100 When the stirrup is deformed, the overlapping ends 102 and 104 slide one over the other, so that, despite the variations in diameter, the stirrup 100 still defines a closed, substantially circular contour. It is understood that such a device can be used with stirrups of different diameters in order to put on either socks, the opening of which is reduced, or stockings, whose opening is greater, or even panties or tights, which have a wide opening allowing the engagement of the two lower limbs.
- the same handle 10 can be used with stirrups of different diameters.
- the same handle 10 is advantageously delivered with a set of three stirrups whose diameters are respectively 9 cm, 18 cm and 27 cm.
