Abstract: A device as provided to assist a person with removing an elasticized stocking. A cord has a plurality of filaments at one end thereof which are attached by clips around the upper end of the stocking. The cord extends around a pulley disposed beneath the foot portion of the stocking and the other end of the cord may be grasped by the wearer and by pulling the cord the stocking may be removed. Mechanical or motorized winding mechanism may be used to remove the stocking in place of manually pulling the cord. In another embodiment the pulley may be replaced by a rotatable power driven shaft disposed beneath the foot portion of the stocking so that the cord may be wound around the shaft to remove the stocking.
