ABSTRACT:
To help disabled people to put on socks or stockings without being compelled to lean forward or to bend down, a utensil is disclosed which comprises an elongate rod carrying at one end a round half-shell on which the socks or stockings piece rolled up in the upturned position, the shell being rotatable about a pivot carried by said rod. Once the wearer has slipped his toe tip in the socks tip, he thrusts his foot on into the socks piece and this is gradually unrolled from the shell: by slightly pulling the rod up as the heel area is reached, the socks piece continues to be unrolled and fits the wearer's leg gradually. The reverse manipulation is adopted for pulling the socks out.
