Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anziehhilfe zum Anziehen von Strümpfen, insbesondere Kompressionsstrümpfen mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes von Patentanspruch 1.The invention relates to a donning aid for donning stockings, in particular compression stockings with the features of the preamble of claim 1.

Das Anziehen von Kompressionsstrümpfen, sei es mit offener, sei es mit geschlossener Fußspitze, bereitet große Schwierigkeiten. Wegen der starken, an sich erwünschten Spannwirkung der Strümpfe besonders im Fußbereich ist praktisch nur ein "Hochrollen" der Strümpfe möglich, nachdem diese vorher auf "links" gedreht worden sind. Dieser Vorgang ist außerordentlich mühsam.Donning compression stockings, whether with the toes open or with the toes closed, is very difficult. Because of the strong, desired tensioning effect of the stockings, especially in the foot area, practically only a "rolling up" of the stockings is possible after they have been previously turned to "left". This process is extremely tedious.

Bisher versucht man sich durch Unterziehstrümpfe als Gleithilfe zu bedienen. Diese Unterziehstrümpfe haben jedoch den Nachteil, daß sie nach dem Anziehen der Kompressionsstrümpfe wieder entfernt werden müssen, so daß eine Verwendung vornherein nur bei Kompressionsstrümpfen mit offener Fußspitze möglich ist.So far, attempts have been made to use sliding stockings as a sliding aid. However, these underwear stockings have the disadvantage that they have to be removed again after the compression stockings have been put on, so that use in advance is only possible with compression stockings with an open toe.

Eine Anziehhilfe mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffes von Patentanspruch 1 ist aus der FR-A 2 501 492 bekannt. Diese Anziehhilfe weist eine gestellartige Ausbildung aus, wobei eine Anzahl paralleler Streben an ihren oberen bzw. unteren Enden jeweils durch einen ovalen Bügel verbunden sind. Der Strumpf, mit Ausnahme des Fußes, muß außen über das Gestell gezogen werden, wobei der Fuß unterhalb des Gestelles verbleibt. Wegen der starken Spannwirkung der Strümpfe gestaltet sich dies im allgemeinen als sehr mühsam.A donning aid with the features of the preamble of claim 1 is known from FR-A 2 501 492. This donning aid has a frame-like design, a number of parallel struts being connected at their upper and lower ends, respectively, by an oval bracket. The stocking, with the exception of the foot, must be pulled outside over the frame, with the foot remaining below the frame. Because of the strong tension of the stockings, this is generally very tedious.

Der Erfindung liegt damit die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Anziehhilfe zum Anziehen von Strümpfen, insbesondere Kompressionsstrümpfen zu verbessern.The invention is therefore based on the object of improving a pull-on aid for putting on stockings, in particular compression stockings.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß der erste Bügel im wesentlichen halbkreisförmig mit einem der Strumpfweite entsprechenden Durchmesser und der zweite Bügel im wesentlichen U-förmig mit einer deutlich größeren Weite miteinander verbunden sind.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that the first strap is connected to one another essentially semicircularly with a diameter corresponding to the stocking width, and the second strap is connected essentially U-shaped with a significantly larger width.

Ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß die Ebenen der beiden Bügel im wesentlichen rechtwinklig zu der Erstreckung der Streben verläuft.A preferred embodiment is characterized in that the planes of the two brackets run essentially at right angles to the extension of the struts.

Bevorzugt ist eine Ausbildung, bei der die Streben L-förmig sind.An embodiment is preferred in which the struts are L-shaped.

Weiter wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Streben längenverstellbar ausgebildet sind.It is further proposed that the struts are adjustable in length.

Ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel zeichnet sich aus durch ein Paar von an den zweiten Bügel angesetzte, im wesentlichen parallel zu den L-förmigen Streben verlaufende Griffstreben. Diese Griffstreben können an ihrem oberen Abschnitt nach außen abgewinkelt ausgebildet sein.A preferred embodiment is characterized by a pair of handle struts attached to the second bracket and running essentially parallel to the L-shaped struts. These handle struts can be angled outwards at their upper section.

Weitere Merkmale und Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der Beschreibung, in der ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand einer Zeichnung erläutert wird. Dabei zeigt:

Fig. 1
eine Frontansicht der Anziehhilfe;
Fig. 2
eine Seitenansicht der Anziehhilfe; und

eine Draufsicht der Anziehhilfe.
Further features and advantages of the invention result from the description in which an embodiment of the invention is explained with reference to a drawing. It shows:
Fig. 1
a front view of the dressing aid;
Fig. 2
a side view of the dressing aid; and
Fig. 3
a top view of the dressing aid.

Die Anziehhilfe besteht aus vier L-förmigen Streben 10, 12, 14, 16, deren stehende Schenkel in etwa parallel zueinander verlaufen und deren liegende Schenkel in einer gemeinsamen Ebene paarweise voneinander weg weisend angeordnet sind.The donning aid consists of four L-shaped struts 10, 12, 14, 16, the standing legs of which run approximately parallel to one another and the lying legs of which are arranged facing away from one another in pairs in a common plane.

Die freien Enden der stehenden Schenkel der L-förmigen Streben 10, 12, 14, 16 sind über einen etwa halbkreisförmigen ersten Bügel 18 miteinander verbunden, dessen Durchmesser etwa der Weite des anzuziehenden Strumpfes entspricht Die freien Enden der liegenden Schenkel der L-förmigen Streben 10, 12, 14, 16 sind über einen U-förmigen zweiten Bügel 20 miteinander verbunden, dessen Weite deutlich größer ist als die Weite des ersten Bügels 18.The free ends of the standing legs of the L-shaped struts 10, 12, 14, 16 are connected to one another via an approximately semicircular first bracket 18, the diameter of which corresponds approximately to the width of the stocking to be put on. The free ends of the lying legs of the L-shaped struts 10, 12, 14, 16 are connected to one another via a U-shaped second bracket 20, the width of which is significantly larger than the width of the first bracket 18.

Der erste Bügel 18 und der zweite Bügel 20 verlaufen jeweils in einer zu den Streben 10, 12, 14, 16 rechtwinkligen (zueinander also parallelen) Ebene.The first bracket 18 and the second bracket 20 each run in a plane perpendicular to the struts 10, 12, 14, 16 (ie parallel to one another).

Die stehenden Schenkel der L-förmigen Streben bilden so gemeinsam mit dem ersten Bügel 18 ein Gerüst einer Halbschale, die liegenden Schenkel der L-förmigen Streben 10, 12, 14, 16 gemeinsam mit dem zweiten Bügel 20 einen Grundrahmen.The standing legs of the L-shaped struts together with the first bracket 18 form a framework of a half-shell, the lying legs of the L-shaped struts 10, 12, 14, 16 together with the second bracket 20 form a base frame.

Die Anziehhilfe kann aus Kunststoff, Stahldraht oder dergleichen hergestellt sein.The tightening aid can be made of plastic, steel wire or the like.

Vor Benutzung wird die Anziehhilfe auf eine Unterlage, etwa einen Tisch, gestellt. Sodann wird der Kompressionsstrumpf mit der Spitze im Inneren des "Halbschalengerüstes" der Anziehhilfe nach außen über das "Halbschalengerüst" gerollt, bis nur noch der Fußbereich innerhalb der Hülse liegt. Alsdann wird der Fuß in das Fußteil des Kompressionsstrumpfes eingesetzt, woraufhin die Vorrichtung seitlich mit den Händen erfaßt wird unter Hindurchgreifen durch den Abstand zwischen den stehenden Schenkeln der L-förmig ausgebildeten Streben 10, 12, bzw. 14, 16 zum Erfassen der Strümpfe, um dann zum Hochrollen der Strümpfe am Bein nach oben geführt zu werden.Before use, the dressing aid is placed on a surface such as a table. Then the compression stocking with the tip inside the "half-shell frame" of the donning aid is rolled outwards over the "half-shell frame" until only the foot region lies within the sleeve. Then the foot is inserted into the foot part of the compression stocking, whereupon the device is gripped laterally with the hands by reaching through the distance between the standing legs of the L-shaped struts 10, 12 or 14, 16 for gripping the stockings then to be led up to roll up the stockings on the leg.

Der Abstand der Streben 10 und 12 bzw. 14 und 16 voneinander ist so gewählt, daß wenigstens zwei, vorzugsweise aber drei Finger hindurchgreifen können, damit der Strumpfrand ausreichend erfaßt und hochgerollt werden kann. Der Abstand der beiden inneren Streben 12, 14 voneinander ist so groß, daß die Ferse des Benutzers zwischen diesen hindurchgeführt werden kann. Der dem Durchmesser des ersten Bügels 18 entsprechende Abstand zwischen den beiden äußeren Streben 10, 16 ist der Stumpfweite angepaßt und entspricht damit der Breite des Unterschenkels des Verwenders.The distance between the struts 10 and 12 or 14 and 16 from each other is chosen so that at least two, but preferably three, fingers can reach through it so that the edge of the stocking can be gripped and rolled up sufficiently. The distance between the two inner struts 12, 14 is so great that the user's heel can be passed between them. The distance between the two outer struts 10, 16 corresponding to the diameter of the first bracket 18 is adapted to the stump width and thus corresponds to the width of the user's lower leg.

Zeichnerisch nicht dargestellt ist eine Ausführungsform, bei der die stehenden Schenkel der Streben 10, 12, 14 längenverstellbar, beispielsweise teleskopisch ausgebildet ist.An embodiment in which the standing legs of the struts 10, 12, 14 are adjustable in length, for example telescopically, is not shown in the drawing.

Die Ausbildung des gemeinsam mit den liegenden Schenkeln der L-förmigen Streben 10, 12, 14, 16 einen Grundrahmen bildenden unteren Bügels 20 ist unkritisch, dieser dient lediglich dazu, die unteren Enden der Streben 10, 12, 14, 16 zur Erhöhung der Stabilität miteinander zu verbinden und ein Aufstellen der Anziehhilfe zum Aufbringen des anzuziehenden Strumpfes zu ermöglichen.The formation of the lower bracket 20, which forms a base frame together with the lying legs of the L-shaped struts 10, 12, 14, 16, is not critical; this serves only the lower ends of the struts 10, 12, 14, 16 to increase the stability to connect with each other and to allow the donning aid to be put on to apply the sock to be donned

Im übrigen richtet sich der Abstand der Streben voneinander und der Durchmesser des ersten Bügels nach der Weite des anzuziehenden Strumpfes.Otherwise, the distance between the struts and the diameter of the first bracket depends on the width of the stocking to be put on.

Bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist die Anziehhilfe weiter mit einem Paar von an die Seitenabschnitte des zweiten Bügels 20 angesetzte, im wesentlichen parallel zu den L-förmigen Streben 10, 12, 14, 16 verlaufende Griffstreben 22, 24 versehen, die an ihrem oberen Endabschnitt nach außen abgewinkelt ausgebildet sind. Die Vorsehung derartiger Griffstreben, deren Länge unkritisch ist, die aber vorzugsweise etwas länger als die Streben 10, 12, 14, 16 sind, erleichtern das Anziehen von Kompressionsstrümpfen weiter.In the exemplary embodiment shown, the tightening aid is furthermore provided with a pair of attachments to the side sections of the second bracket 20, essentially parallel to the L-shaped struts 10, 12, 14, 16 extending handle struts 22, 24 which are formed at their upper end portion angled outwards. The provision of such grip struts, the length of which is not critical, but which are preferably somewhat longer than the struts 10, 12, 14, 16, further facilitate the putting on of compression stockings.
