Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of daily necessities technology, and in particular to a sock-wearing aid device. Background Technology
[0002] Socks are a type of clothing worn on the feet, serving to protect and beautify them. Socks are a general term, and can be categorized by material, such as cotton socks, wool socks, silk socks, and various synthetic fiber socks, and by style, such as knee-high socks, mid-calf socks, and ankle socks.
[0003] Putting on socks and shoes is relatively simple for most people, but for many elderly people and those with impaired leg and back function, it becomes a daily challenge. This is especially true for elderly people living alone, who, as their bodies age, find bending over and lifting their legs difficult, sometimes even unable to put on socks and shoes independently, causing significant inconvenience. Existing assistive devices are relatively limited in function and cannot simultaneously meet the needs of assisting with both putting on shoes and socks. Therefore, this application proposes a sock-putting assistive device to address this problem. Summary of the Invention

[0031] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this application embodiment provides a sock-wearing assistance device. The assistance device has a first form and a second form. The first form is used to assist in wearing shoes, and the second form is used to assist in wearing socks, including:
[0032] Handle 1;
[0033] Connector 2 is L-shaped, and one end of connector 2 is connected to one end of handle 1.
[0034] Vertical plate 3, one side of which is fixedly connected to the other end of connector 2;
[0035] At least two support plates 4 are arranged laterally on both sides of the connector 2 relative to the vertical plate 3, and there is an angle between them. One end of the support plate 4 is rotatably connected to the connector 2, and each support plate 4 can be snapped into the connector 2 and the vertical plate 3 respectively.
[0036] When the support plate 4 rotates to engage with the connector 2, it forms the first state; when the support plate 4 rotates to engage with the vertical plate 3, it forms the second state.
[0037] In this embodiment, the handle 1 adopts a multi-stage telescopic rod, which makes the length of the handle 1 adjustable. When in use, the length can be adjusted according to the user's height requirements. The cross-section of the handle 1 is circular, and optionally, the cross-section can also be a regular polygon or an ellipse.
[0038] The vertical plate 3 is set in the vertical direction. The other end of the connector 2 is connected to the vertical plate 3 near the upper end of the vertical plate 3. The side of the vertical plate 3 away from the connector 2 has an inwardly concave arc surface in the width direction. The width of the upper end of the vertical plate 3 is greater than the width of the lower end of the vertical plate 3. The upper end of the vertical plate 3 is bent towards the handle 1 to form a slope, which makes it easier for the heel to slide in.
[0039] There are two support plates 4, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connector 2. The width of the support plate 4 at the end away from the connector 2 is greater than the width of the support plate 4 at the end near the connector 2, and the support plate 4 at the end away from the connector 2 is curved upward, so that the support plate can provide better support for the sock. Optionally, the support plate 4 at the end away from the connector 2 can also be bent downward. By rotating the support plate 4 and engaging it with the connector 2 or the vertical plate 3, the switching between the first and second forms can be realized. The included angle between the two support plates 4 and the vertical plate 3 is 45°-90°, and in this embodiment it is set to 90°.
[0040] The other end of the support plate 4 is bent towards each other to form an arc surface on the side near the vertical plate 3. In the second form, the vertical plate 3 and the support plates 4 on both sides form an arc-shaped arch bridge, specifically, a semi-circular arch bridge. The arc-shaped arch bridge can open up the sock opening.
[0041] Specifically, in the first configuration, the support plates 4 on both sides of the connector 2 are engaged with the connector 2. At this time, the lower end of the vertical plate 3 is inserted into the shoe. When putting on the shoe, the heel can easily slide into the shoe along the arc surface of the vertical plate 3, thereby achieving the effect of assisting in putting on the shoe. At this time, the support plates 4 on both sides are engaged with the connector 2, which will not affect the wearing of the shoe.
[0042] The support plates 4 on both sides of the connector 2 are rotated relative to the connector 2 toward the vertical plate 3, and the vertical plate 3 is fastened to the support plate 4. At this time, the second form of the auxiliary device is formed. In the second form, the lower end of the vertical plate 3 is inserted into the sock, and the sock opening is opened by the support plates 4 on both sides. Then the foot can be easily inserted into the sock from the opened sock opening. After the foot is inserted, the handle 1 is pulled in the opposite direction of the foot insertion to complete the wearing. When the foot is inserted into the appropriate position, the sock opening is disengaged from the support plate 4, and the vertical plate 3 is pulled out of the sock.
[0043] The auxiliary device of this application has two different forms. The two states can be quickly switched through the cooperation between the connector 2, the vertical plate 3 and the support plate 4. In the first form, it can assist in putting on shoes, and in the second form, it can assist in putting on socks, thus satisfying two different needs at the same time.
[0044] In one embodiment, the connector 2 is provided with receiving grooves 21 on both sides, the receiving grooves 21 can accommodate part of the support plate 4, the inner walls of both sides of the receiving grooves 21 are provided with insertion holes 22, one end of the support plate 4 is provided with a rotating shaft 41, and the two ends of the rotating shaft 41 are respectively inserted into the insertion holes 22.
[0045] In this embodiment, the receiving groove 21 can accommodate part of the support plate 4, which can reduce the overall volume of the auxiliary device. The rotating shaft 41 is movably inserted into the insertion hole 22, and the support plate 4 can rotate along the axis of the rotating shaft 41, thereby completing the switching between the first and second forms.
[0046] In one embodiment, a buckle 5 is provided in the receiving groove 21, and a slot 6 is provided on the side of the support plate 4 near the receiving groove 21. When the buckle 5 engages with the slot 6, a first form is formed.
[0047] The buckle 5 is cylindrical, and the slot 6 is formed by multiple elastic pieces surrounding a circular groove. The diameter of the circular groove is slightly smaller than the diameter of the buckle 5. When the buckle 5 is inserted into the slot 6, the multiple elastic pieces clamp the buckle 5.
[0048] During operation, the support plates 4 on both sides of the connector 2 rotate around the pivot 41 toward the receiving groove 21, and the support plates 4 are partially embedded in the receiving groove 21. At this time, the buckle 5 will be inserted into the slot 6, and the slot 6 will hold the buckle 5 to prevent it from coming off, thus achieving the snap-fit. This forms the first form of the auxiliary device.
[0049] In one embodiment, the vertical plate 3 has fastening portions 31 on both sides of its edge, and the support plate 4 has a protrusion 42 on the side near the vertical plate 3. When the protrusion 42 is fastened to the fastening portion 31, a second form is formed.
[0050] The fastening part 31 is in the shape of a groove and is provided on both sides of the vertical plate 3. Its shape and size match the protrusion 42.
[0051] When in operation, the support plates 4 on both sides of the connector 2 are rotated around the pivot 41 toward the vertical plate 3, and then the protrusion 42 on the support plate 4 is engaged in the fastening part 31 on the edge of the vertical plate 3. At this time, the fastening part 31 holds the protrusion 42 in place to prevent the protrusion 42 from coming off, thus achieving fastening. This forms the second form of the auxiliary device.
[0052] When switching between the first and second forms, simply pry the support plate 4 by hand to disengage the buckle 5 from the slot 6 or the protrusion 42 from the fastening part 31. Then the support plate 4 can rotate again, and the corresponding form can be switched.
[0053] In one embodiment, the other end of the handle 1 is provided with a hanging rope 7.
[0054] In this embodiment, the auxiliary device can be hung next to the shoe cabinet by the hanging rope 7 for easy access.
[0055] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
