ABSTRACT:
A manually operable device for applying socks or the like onto the leg of the user. The device comprises of a flexible sheet material having a toe portion at one end thereof with two opposite diverging edge formations adapted to flex towards each other upon application of a sock distended thereon, so as to present a cavity between the toe portion and sock for insertion of a foot. The toe edge formations terminate at opposite lateral engaging projections to releasably frictionally engage the sock. The device has a heel portion with two opposite diverging edge formations at the other end of the sheet material, which is integrally connected to the toe portion in the region adjacent the engaging projections so as to present a flexible connecting portion to permit hinged flexure of the heel portion relative the toe portion. A thread is connected to the heel portion and adapted to be pulled so as to draw the toe portion with the sock over the foot thereby unravelling the sock from the engaging projections and permitting the heel portion to flex over the heel of the operator for drawing the sock over the leg.
