Device to assist in putting on and taking off clothing

摘要

A device composed of a pair of 2 separate hand-held units (FIG. 1) designed to assist people with limited body flexibility due to age, accident, illness etc, to easily change their own underpants (18) or elastic waisted pants and trousers. It is particularly useful in changing disposable and washable incontinence underpants (18). Each unit is composed of a comfortable handle (1), a light but strong shaft (2) and a strong, lightweight curved head (3) attached to the opposite end of the shaft (2) to the handle (2). The convex surface of each head (3) is covered by a fabric gripping product (4) such as Velcro® hook or similar. Use involves attaching the inside of the garment's (18) waistband to the Velcro® surface (4) of the curved heads (3) so that when the units are held in an extended arm position the garment (18) is held comfortably open and in a position to allow such to be slipped easily over the user's feet (23) and raised to knee height.
