CA 2479952
The invention relates to a device that is used to open a support sock (or hose) and to maintain same open so that the foot and leg can be inserted therein without the passage of the heel posing any difficulty. The aforementioned manoeuvre is made possible by means of two members (2, 4) which form an ovoid tube on which the sock is positioned. Said two members are fixed to panels (1, 3) which can be separated from one another using a lever (5) comprising two connecting links (6, 7). The invention also comprises variable-length, lateral, removable handles and, as a result, the device is suitable for personal use or for use by a third party. The lower part (3) of the device can be used alone for the removal of the sock. According to the invention, the user employs the lateral handles (8, 9) such that the above-mentioned member (4), which takes the form of a hollow semicylinder in order to match the shape of the heel, moves the sock towards the foot.
L' invention concerne un appareil qui permet d~écarter et de maintenir ouverte une chaussette (ou un bas ) de contention afin de pouvoir y enfiler le pied et la jambe en supprimant la difficulté du passage du talon. Cette manoeuvre est rendue possible grâce à deux lames (2 et 4) formant un tube ovoïde sur lequel est positionné la chaussette. Ces deux lames sont fixées sur des plaques (1 et 3) qui peuvent s'écarter l'une de l'autre grâce à un levier (5) muni de deux biellettes (6 et 7). L~adjonction de poignées latérales, de longueur variable, et amovibles permet une utilisation soit personnelle soit par une tierce personne. Il est possible d'utiliser la partie basse (3) seule pour le retrait de la chaussette. La lame (4), en forme d'hémicylindre creux pour épouser la forme du talon, entraîne vers le pied la chaussette sous l'action de l'utilisateur par l'intermédiaire des poignées latérales (8 et 9).
