Abstract
A multi-functional device comprises a device body defined by a first wall that includes a first inner face and a first outer face, a second wall that includes a second inner face and a second outer face, and a third wall that includes a third inner face and a third outer face. The second wall is connected to and extends from the first wall at a first interface on a first lateral side of the first wall. The third wall is connected to and extends from the first wall at a second interface on a second lateral side of the first wall. The multi-functional device comprises a hook arranged on the device body configured to facilitate removal of a sock from a foot of a user, and a plurality of ridges arranged on the device body configured to facilitate placement of a sock over a foot of a user.
Claims21
A multi-functional device configured to facilitate both placement of a sock over a foot of a user and removal of a sock from a foot of a user, comprising:
- a device body defined by a first wall comprising a first inner face and a first outer face, a second wall comprising a second inner face and a second outer face, and a third wall comprising a third inner face and a third outer face, the second wall being connected to and extending from the first wall at a first interface on a first lateral side of the first wall, and the third wall being connected to and extending from the first wall at a second interface on a second lateral side of the first wall, wherein the first wall, the second wall, and the third wall at least partially extend between a first end of the device body and a second end of the device body, wherein the second outer face comprises a protrusion extending outward from the second wall and the third outer face comprises a corresponding protrusion extending outward from the third wall, the protrusion and the corresponding protrusion being configured to retain respective portions of a sock for facilitating placement of the sock over a foot of a user;
- a hook arranged on the device body, the hook being configured to facilitate removal of a sock from a foot of a user;
- and
- a plurality of ridges arranged on the device body.
A multi-functional device configured to facilitate both placement of a sock over a foot of a user and removal of a sock from a foot of a user, comprising:
- a device body defined by a first substantially planar wall comprising a first inner face and a first outer face, a second substantially planar wall comprising a second inner face and a second outer face, and a third substantially planar wall comprising a third inner face and a third outer face, the second substantially planar wall being connected to and extending from the first substantially planar wall at a first interface on a first lateral side of the first substantially planar wall, and the third substantially planar wall being connected to and extending from the first substantially planar wall at a second interface on a second lateral side of the first substantially planar wall, wherein the first substantially planar wall, the second substantially planar wall, and the third substantially planar wall at least partially extend between a first end of the device body and a second end of the device body, the first end of the device body being configured to retain a sock to facilitate placement of the sock over a foot of a user, wherein the first interface comprises a first curved wall forming an arcuate transition between the first substantially planar wall and the second substantially planar wall, and wherein the second interface comprises a second curved wall forming an arcuate transition between the first substantially planar wall and the third substantially planar wall;
- and
- a hook arranged on the second end of the device body, the hook being configured to facilitate removal of a sock from a foot of a user.
A multi-functional device configured to facilitate both placement of a sock over a foot of a user and removal of a sock from a foot of a user, comprising:
- a device body defined by a first wall comprising a first inner face and a first outer face, a second wall comprising a second inner face and a second outer face, and a third wall comprising a third inner face and a third outer face, the second wall being connected to and extending from the first wall at a first interface on a first lateral side of the first wall, and the third wall being connected to and extending from the first wall at a second interface on a second lateral side of the first wall, wherein the first wall, the second wall, and the third wall at least partially extend between a first end of the device body and a second end of the device body, wherein a second outer edge of the second wall and a third outer edge of the third wall form corresponding grooves configured to retain sock material surrounding an upper opening of a sock to facilitate placement of the sock over a foot of a user;
- and
- a hook arranged on the second end of the device body, the hook being configured to facilitate removal of a sock from a foot of a user.
