Abstract
A hosiery donning aid apparatus comprises a body formed as a channel having interior and exterior surfaces and two outer edges extending along a longitudinal axis of the body. A frictional arrangement is provided consisting of a multiplicity of spaced from each other frictional ribs extending outwardly from the exterior surface in such a manner that a substantial gap separates each end of each frictional rib from the respective outer edges.
Claims19
A hosiery donning aid apparatus, comprising:
- a body having interior and exterior surfaces and extending between proximal and distal ends thereof, said body being formed by a pair of spaced from each other side walls contiguous with an arcuate base portion so as to form an elongated receiving channel;
- each said side wall terminating at a respective outer edge extending along a longitudinal axis of the body;
- and
- a frictional arrangement, comprising a multiplicity of spaced from each other frictional ribs extending outwardly from said exterior surface in such a manner that a substantial gap separates each end of each said frictional rib from at least said outer edges.
The apparatus according to claim 13, wherein an outer periphery of said frictional ribs is formed having a curved configuration.
A hosiery donning aid apparatus, comprising:
- a body having interior and exterior surfaces and extending between proximal and distal ends thereof, said body being formed by a pair of spaced from each other side walls contiguous with an arcuate base portion, said arcuate base so as to form an elongated receiving channel having substantially C-shaped cross-section;
- each said side wall terminating at a respective outer edge extending longitudinally along a longitudinal axis of the body;
- and
- a frictional arrangement, comprising a multiplicity of spaced from each other frictional ribs extending outwardly from said exterior surface in such a manner that a substantial gap separates each end of each said frictional rib from at least said outer edges.
