ABSTRACT:
A sock donning assist device that allows a caretaker to put a sock on a disabled person who can not put the sock on themselves. The sock donning assist device includes a hollow rigid substantially L-shaped frame. The hollow rigid substantially L-shaped frame consists of a plurality of different sized and shaped slender members. The plurality of different sized and shaped slender members form a substantially vertically-oriented portion for retaining a sock during donning wherein the sock has an upper portion and a lower portion, and a horizontally-oriented portion extending forwardly from the substantially vertically-oriented portion of the hollow rigid substantially L-shaped frame for gripping by a user during donning the sock. Prior to donning the sock the substantially vertically-oriented portion of the hollow rigid substantially L-shaped frame receives the lower portion of the sock and the substantially vertically-oriented portion of the hollow rigid substantially L-shaped frame is received by the upper portion of the sock. During donning the substantially vertically-oriented portion of the hollow rigid substantially L-shaped frame is progressively removed from the upper portion of the sock.
