Abstract: An apparatus is described for putting on a support stocking with a frame (1) comprising a stretching device (2) for two stretching jaws (17) each provided with a receiver (20) for the stocking and a self-locking spindle drive (5) for actuating the stretching device (2). In order to provide advantageous constructional conditions it is proposed that the stretching device (2) comprises stretching arms (3) which are held in a swivellable way in the frame (1), carry the stretching jaws (17) with the stocking receivers (20) and which each act via a guide rod (7) on the spindle drive (5).

Abstract: An apparatus is described for putting on a stocking with a frame (1) comprising two longitudinal rods (2) which are provided at one upper end with handles (11) and with U-shaped stretching member (3) for receiving the stocking between the lower ends of the longitudinal rods (2). In order to provide advantageous costructional conditions it is proposed that the stretching member (3) which is rigidly connected with the longitudinal rods (2) is associated with a clamping device which consists of two actuating rods (4) which are displaceable along the longitudinal rods (2) against the clamping force of locking springs (8) and which are joined above the stretching member (3) by a clamping member (5) cooperating with the stretching member (3).
