ABSTRACT:
The device to allow physically limited persons to put on or remove socks includes an elongate U-shaped sock caddy and two rigid elongate pivotal handles. The sock caddy has a rounded base with a projecting heel portion and rounded sidewalls with vertical steps in each along its upper edge. The steps in the sidewalls and heel are located such that a sock is held open to be put on and maintained on the caddy while the sock is positioned on the foot. Each handle is pivotally attached and rotates in relation to the caddy with an adjustable resistance. Each handle has a contoured grip with a deep V-shaped notch in the extreme end that leads to a slot so that either handle may be used as a utensil to remove and retrieve socks and as a shoehorn.
