ABSTRACT:
Device to facilitate putting on socks, bobby socks, stockings and similar articles of clothing. The device comprises two oblong arms connected together as tongs. The lower end of each arm includes a gripping jaw in the shape of a horseshoe. The two gripping jaws fit one into the other when the two arms are brought together. The sock can be slipped around the first gripping jaw, where it is held owing to a stop. The first gripping jaw keeps the sock open wide enough so that the tip of the foot can be slipped in and then the heel. By bringing the two arms together, the sock is pinched between the two gripping jaws. It is then possible to put on the sock and to pull it up along the calf of the leg without the user having to bend over. One of the gripping jaws has in addition a catch element enabling socks to be removed.
