The invention relates to a tool for assisting in the removal of clothing. In particular, the invention relates to a tool which can be used to help remove socks, stockings, leggings, compression stockings, wetsuits, dry suits and the like, which can be difficult to remove from the lower leg and foot.

The present invention relates to a device for removing clothing. Specifically, the device may be used to remove a sock from a user's foot. The device may have a handle end, a removing end, and a shaft. A removing head may be configured at the removing end. A first flange may extend from the shaft away from the handle end. A second flange and third flange may be configured on the removing head. The second shaft may extend away from the handle end, and the third flange may extend towards the handle end. The third flange may be configured to catch the user's pant leg to lift the pant leg towards the user's knee. The first and second flanges may be configured to catch the user's sock to remove the sock from the user's foot.

A tool for removing orthotic inserts from inside of a shoe. The tool consists of a blade with a narrow tip for inserting between the edge of the orthotic and the inside of the shoe, a housing attached to the blade, the housing containing an LED light, a battery and an on/off switch to active the light, and a handle use for leverage to remove the orthotic. The handle is covered by a soft pliable rubberized grip made of a silica gel material.

A reacher assembly (20) combines a single shaft (22) presenting a guideway (30) and supporting a handle (40). A trigger (44) is spaced from the handle (40) and is connected to a closeable jaw (50) by a cable (56) disposed in the channel (38). A snare (66) presents a loop controlled by a slide (72) slidably supported in a slot (74) in the shaft (22) with the snare (66) and the cable (56) extending in parallel and side by side relationship with one another with the snare (66) in the guideway (30) of the shaft (22) and the cable (56) in the channel (38) for movement relative to each other in the shaft (22). A shoehorn (60) is slidably supported by a track (58) on the shaft (22). An incapacitated person may carry only one assembly (20) to perform multiple tasks.

A donning and doffing aid is used for donning and doffing a stocking, in particular a compression stocking. The donning and doffing aid comprises a support element (1) which is adapted in such a way that the stocking can be spanned on it in a tubular manner. Furthermore, the donning and doffing aid has at least one protrusion (4) on which the stocking (6) can be spanned for doffing.

An assistive device for applying and removing a protective shoe cover from a shoe of a user includes a base, a shoe cover application mechanism supported by the base and configured to releasably receive and retain a protective shoe cover in an expanded state for applying the expanded protective shoe cover to a shoe, and a shoe cover removal mechanism supported by the base and configured to releasably grip a portion of a protective shoe cover fitted on a shoe for removing the protective shoe cover from the shoe. The assistive device may be stored in a device holder mountable to a vertical support surface. A protective shoe cover includes a non-rigid body, an elastic portion, and at least one device engagement element on the non-rigid body and configured to releasably engage an assistive device for at least one of applying the protective shoe cover to a shoe or removing the protective shoe cover from a shoe.

A dressing assistance device may include a rest frame structure for supporting a limb of a user, a guide rail disposed along a longitudinal direction of the rest frame structure, a mount support section movably connected to the guide rail, a garment mount section coupled to the mount support section for receiving attachment of a garment, a mount adjustment section coupled to the mount support section for adjusting a width of the garment mount section, and a motor coupled to the mount support section and the mount adjustment section. The motor may drive the mount support section to travel along the guide rail. The motor may drive the mount adjustment section to adjust the garment mount section between a closed position for receiving attachment of a garment and an open position that allows for insertion and removal of the limb of the user.
