Clothing item removal aid
The present invention relates to a removal aid used to assist in the removal of clothing items such as jackets, sweaters, shirts and the like. The aid is a device having a clamp with two sections that are pivotally joined together. Each section has a head that is elongated. The clamp has a lock for locking the clamp in a closed position. A pull has two ends, one of which is connected to a clamp section. The second end of the pull can have a loop. The pull is preferably a flexible pull. A user secures the device onto an end of a sleeve and locks the clamp with the lock. Then, the user places the loop over upon an object so that the pull pulls the arm portion of the garment off from the user's arm as the user moves away or twists relative to the object.
