However, the "equipment for putting on and taking off shoes such as socks and pants" described in Patent Document 1 is for socks and pants, but when the jacket is attached to the clip and the jacket is to be worn, the overhang is hung on the shoulder. Even if you can do it, it is difficult for your arm to pass through with the sleeves left unfolded. Therefore, the attachment/detachment aids such as socks and pants described in Patent Document 1 are not suitable for wearing outerwear.

Also, when picking up an object that is far away, even if you can not reach even if you reach out and it is difficult to move your body, you may pull something you want to pick up with something like a stick, but the tip of the arm However, since it is bent at an acute angle in order to make it difficult for the clip to come out of the arm, it is also difficult to pull an object with such an arm.

Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide an operation support device that can easily wear a jacket and can assist the motion of the user in other applications.

The operation support instrument of the present invention includes an instrument body having a rod-shaped handle and a pair of arms extending from the tip of the handle in a direction in which they are spaced apart from each other, and a clip attached to the tip of the instrument body. The pair of arm portions, one of the distal end portions is bent at an angle that is an obtuse angle toward the proximal end portion side of the handle portion, the other distal end portion and the proximal end portion of the handle portion. Is in a state of being bent at an obtuse angle on the opposite side, and the clip portion is provided with a clip body and a string-like member for connecting the clip body to the instrument body.

According to the operation support device of the present invention, when the outerwear is worn, if the clip body of the clip part is attached to the outerwear and the handle is turned, the outerwear hung by the string-shaped member and the clip body can be largely rotated. You can easily put your jacket on your back and hang it on your shoulder. When the jacket is worn on the shoulder, the armor can be trimmed by expanding the sleeve with one arm and pulling the jacket with the other arm. In addition, the arm formed at the tip of the handle can be utilized even when a person who cannot reach is picked up.

The clip portion can be attached to the arm portion. When the clip portion is attached to the arm portion, the outer jacket can be turned largely by the length of the arm portion as compared with the case where the clip portion is attached to the tip portion of the handle portion. Therefore, it is desirable that the clip portion be attached to the arm portion.

When a pair of the clip portions are provided at the tip of the instrument body, when wearing socks or pants, a pair of clip bodies are provided on the left and right sides of the sock lip portion and the waist portion of the pants. Once installed, you can pull up your socks and pants evenly.

An operation support device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, an operation support instrument 100 includes an instrument body 10 having a rod-shaped handle portion 11 and a pair of arm portions 12 and 13 extending from a tip end portion of the handle portion 11 in a direction in which they are separated from each other. And a clip portion 14 attached to the tip portion 10a of the instrument body 10.

The handle portion 11 is formed of a rod-shaped member, and is operated by the user gripping the base end portion 11a or the tip end portion 11b in an auxiliary manner. In this embodiment, the handle 11 has a length of about 30 cm.

L-shaped base end portions 12a and 13a of the arm portions 12 and 13 are fixed to the handle portion 11, and each extends in a direction perpendicular to the handle portion 11. The arms 12 and 13 are formed to have a shorter length than the handle 11. In this embodiment, the arm portions 12 and 13 are about 5 cm.
In the present embodiment, the arms 12 and 13 are formed of wire with a tubular cover, but the overall shape is such that the tip 12b of one arm 12 is the base end 11a of the handle 11. The arm 13 is bent at an obtuse angle, and the tip end 13b of the other arm 13 is bent at an obtuse angle on the side opposite to the base end 11a of the handle 11.

The bending degree of the tip portions 12b and 13b of the arm portions 12 and 13 can be set to, for example, 120 degrees to 150 degrees.
Since the arm portions 12 and 13 are formed of a wire with a cover, they are formed so as to be folded back from the base end portions 12a and 13a at the tip end portions 12b and 13b and return to the base end portions 12a and 13a. The arms 12 and 13 may be formed of a plate material.

In the present embodiment, the arm portions 12 and 13 have the base end portions 12a and 13a wound around and fixed to the tip portion 11b of the handle portion 11 with a tape, and the tape is covered with a cloth cover.

The clip portion 14 includes a clip body 14a attached to clothing and a string-like member 14b for connecting the clip body 14a to the tip portion 10a of the device body 10.
The clip portion 14 is attached to the arm portion 13 in the present embodiment.
The clip body 14a is in an open state when the sandwiched portion and the attachment portion to which the string-shaped member 14b is connected are in the open state, and in the straight position, the closed state. The string-like member 14b is preferably flexible so that the clip body 14a can move flexibly. In the present embodiment, a braid is used as the string-shaped member 14b in order to improve the design. The string-shaped member 14b has a length of about 8 cm to about 10 cm, which is longer than the arm portions 12 and 13.

The usage state of the operation support instrument 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention configured as described above will be described based on the drawings. In the present embodiment, an example will be described in which the operation support device 100 assists the operation of the user wearing a jacket, which is an example of clothes.
First, the clip portion 14 is attached to the jacket. When attaching the clip portion 14 to the jacket, the clip portion 14 is attached to the front end of the foreseeing side opposite to the side through which the sleeve is first passed. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, when the left arm is first passed through the left sleeve 21, the clip portion 14 is attached to the front end 22a of the right front part 22.

Next, with the left arm of the user passing through the left sleeve 21 of the jacket 20, hold the base end 11a of the handle 11 of the operation support device 100 with the right hand, and pass the handle 11 from the left side over the head to the right side. , Rotate the fishing rod like swinging it around.
By doing so, the outer jacket 20 that is suspended by the clip body 14a of the clip portion 14 and the string-like member 14b is pulled from the tip portion 11b of the handle portion 11 so that the user's back is wrapped around from the left side to the right side. When rotated to the right, the front viewing portion 22 on the right side is located on the right side of the user as shown in FIG.

Since the clip body 14a is attached to the arm portion 13 via the string-like member 14b, the clip portion 14 can be swung to the opposite side of the user by swinging the jacket 20 largely even if the handle portion 11 is shaken slightly. You can

Since the clip part 14 is attached to the right front part 22 and the left arm passes through the left sleeve 21, the outerwear 20 rotates while the right front part 22 spreads, so that the handle part 11 is passed from the left side to an overhead position to the right side. The jacket 20 can be put on the shoulder of the user simply by rotating the jacket 20.

When the jacket 20 does not hang on the right shoulder of the user due to insufficient rotation of the jacket 20, the handle 11 located on the right side of the user is pulled to the left side in front of the user. Then, since the right front bloom 22 on the right side is connected by the clip portion 14, the right front bloom 22 of the jacket 20 that has reached the back can be easily pulled out to the right side of the user.

Next, the user passes the right arm through the right sleeve 23 of the jacket 20 hanging on the shoulder. At this time, since the right sleeve 23 has not shrunk and has not spread, when the right arm is difficult to pass through, the distal end portion 13b pushes the inside of the shrunk right sleeve 23 with the bent arm portion 13 (see FIG. 1).
Since the tip portion 13b of the arm portion 13 is bent at an obtuse angle to the side opposite to the base end portion 11a of the handle portion 11, the arm portion 13 scoops up the inside of the right sleeve 23, It can be pushed without being caught inside the sleeve 23.
Further, since the arm portion 12 projects to the opposite side to the projecting direction of the arm portion 13, the scooped up right sleeve 23 is pushed up widely. At this time, since the distal end portion 13b of the arm portion 13 is bent toward the base end portion 11a side of the handle portion 11 at an obtuse angle, the arm portion 13 can be expanded without being caught inside the right sleeve 23.
Therefore, the user can smoothly pass the right arm through the expanded right sleeve 23.

When the user passes both arms through the outerwear 20, the user widens the right shoulder portion 25 and the left shoulder portion 26 of the outerwear 20 to extend the wrinkles. At this time, as in the case of expanding the right sleeve 23, as shown in FIG. 4, the arms 12 and 13 (see FIG. 1) are used to push or expand from the inside of the right shoulder portion 25 or the left shoulder portion 26. Alternatively, the shoulder portion can be adjusted by holding the tip portion 11b of the handle portion 11 and inserting the base end portion 11a of the handle portion 11 into the shoulder portion and pushing up.
Then, finally, the hem 24 of the outerwear is arranged, and the clip portion 14 is removed from the outerwear 20, whereby the wearing of the outerwear 20 can be completed.

When the jacket 20 is taken off, the arm 13 is inserted into the right shoulder portion 25 or the left shoulder portion 26 of the jacket 20 and pushed up. By doing so, the right shoulder portion 25 or the left shoulder portion 26 is disengaged from the user's shoulder, so that each arm can be easily removed by disengaging it from the right sleeve 23 and the left sleeve.

As shown in FIG. 5, even when the left shoulder portion 26 of the jacket 20 is removed from the user's shoulder, the tip portion 13b of the arm portion 13 has an obtuse angle on the side opposite to the base end portion 11a of the handle portion 11. Since the tip portion 13b of the arm portion 13 pushes up the left shoulder portion 26 and the left shoulder portion 26 does not escape from the arm portion 13, the left shoulder portion 26 can be detached from the shoulder because it is bent at an angle.

In the above operation, the state in which the user wears the outerwear 20 has been described. However, for example, the operation support device 100 can be used even when taking an unreachable object.
For example, the tip 12b of the arm 12 is bent toward the base 11a of the handle 11 at an obtuse angle. You can easily order items in. Further, when moving away from an unreachable position, the arm portion 13 bent at an obtuse angle is utilized on the side where the tip portion 13b is opposite to the base end portion 11a of the handle portion 11. By doing so, the bent tip portion 13b can be inserted into an object and moved downward, so that even an object at a slightly distant position can be easily moved.

As described above, in the operation support device 100 according to the present embodiment, when the outerwear 20 is worn, the clip body 14a of the clip portion 14 is attached to the outerwear 20 and the handle portion 11 is rotated, so that the cord-shaped member 14b With the clip body 14a, the hanging outer garment 20 can be largely rotated so that clothes can be easily turned around and hung on the shoulder. When the outerwear 20 is worn on the shoulder, the outerwear 20 can be prepared by expanding the sleeve with one arm 12 or pulling the clothes with the other arm 13. Further, the arm portions 12 and 13 formed on the tip portion 11b of the handle portion 11 can be utilized even when taking out of reach.
Also, with socks or pants, the user can put on the socks or pants by attaching the clip portion 14 to the socks or pants and pulling it up.
Therefore, the operation support device 100 can easily wear a jacket, and can assist the operation in other applications.

In this embodiment, one clip portion 14 is attached to the arm portion 13, but it may be attached to the arm portion 12.
Since the clip portions 14 are provided on both of the pair of arm portions 12 and 13, when wearing socks or pants, a pair of clips is provided on both left and right sides of the sock lip portion and the waist portion of the pants. If the body 14a is attached, the socks and pants can be pulled up evenly. Therefore, it is easier to put on socks and pants and quick to put on socks when two clip portions 14 are provided than when one clip portion 14 is provided.

Although the clip portion 14 is attached to the arm portion 13 in the present embodiment, it may be attached to the arm portion 12. It may also be attached to the tip of the handle 11. However, when the clip portion 14 is attached to the arm portions 12 and 13, compared with the case where the clip portion 14 is attached to the tip portion of the handle portion 11, the outer jacket 20 is made larger by the length of the arm portions 12 and 13. It can be turned. Therefore, it is desirable that the clip portion 14 be attached to the arm portions 12 and 13.

The clip body 14a of the clip portion 14 is assumed to be in an open state when the sandwiched portion and the attachment portion to which the string-shaped member 14b is connected are in the open state, and are in the closed state when in the straight position. I was there. However, it can be changed according to the thickness of the cloth of clothing such as clothes and socks, or depending on the situation where it is difficult for the hand to apply force. For example, when grasping the waist portion of pants or the like, since the cloth is thick, it is difficult to pinch it with the clip body 14a. In such a case, the clip body may be a slightly larger spring type, such as clothespin. Further, if the user has a symptom that it is difficult to apply force to the hand, a clip may be used in which the cloth is sandwiched and then the lever is operated to fix the sandwich.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The operation assisting device of the present invention is suitable when a person having a hindrance to the movement of the body wears clothes or takes things.
