Abstract: A boot jack that is removably attachable to a distal end of a rod so that the individual can grasp a proximal end of the rod and use the boot jack to remove their shoes while either sitting or standing. The boot jack has a v-shaped part between which the user can place the heel of their shoe to removably engage the shoe with the boot jack. A clamping structure attaches to the v-shape part for removably securing the boot jack around the distal end of the rod so that the boot jack extends outward away from the rod at approximately a 90-degree angle from the longitudinal axis of the rod.

Abstract: A manually operable combination device to help a user who cannot bend at the back, waist, or knees with applying socks, shoes, pants, tightening and loosening shoe laces, removing socks and picking things up off the ground. The device includes components to provide a reacher function with a pivoting closeable jaw operated by a trigger mechanism, a flexible or rigid plastic shovel, and a longitudinally sliding hook operated by a lever. The plastic shovel is used to apply socks and as a shoe horn. The reacher is used to apply shoes and remove socks and to pick articles up from floor. A sliding hook is used in conjunction with cord clamps on shoelaces to tighten laces. The hook is also used for application of pants.

Abstract: A boot remover is provided and consists of a structure for angularly positioning a platform on a floor with its V-shaped forked end elevated therefrom. When a person steps on the platform it will be retained in a stationary position. The V-shaped forked end will hold a boot heel securely to allow the person to withdraw their foot from the boot. When stepping on the platform, a wedge engages and forces two jaws together to grip the sides of the heel. Springs provide snap action.

Abstract: Soft rubber boot removal apparatus comprising a pair of coacting U-shaped heel grasping jaws which in one embodiment are mounted to a pair of pivoting handle members. In a floor-mounted version, a stationary jaw mounts to a tapered base plate and a movable jaw mounts to a pivotally-mounted, pedal-actuated axle member.

Abstract: A portable bootjack comprising a frame formed of articulated metal members enables the heel of a boot to be effective grabbed and held by pressure applied on a pedal plate to assist in the removal of the boot. The pedal plate moves a moveable rear gripping plate against the rear of the heel of the boot which urges the heel to be held against a front bar while the foot is removed from the boot.

Abstract: A boot pull including a frame with convergent side pieces and a pair of boot gripping members pivotably attached to the frame. The heel portion of a boot is received between the gripping members and, when the boot is lifted, the gripping members move inwardly toward each other as they pivot upwardly. In this way, the boot is grasped between the gripping members so that is is held firmly against continued upward movement. The boot pull can be held in position by placing one foot in the frame while a boot is removed from the other foot of the user.

Abstract: An appliance to enable a person to install on or remove a boot from his foot without requiring use of his hands. The device is in the form of a pair of spaced vertical standards joined to a common base with brackets mounted on the internal opposing faces of the standards for holding of a loose boot by means of engagement to holes in the sides of the boot or cord loops extending from the sides of the boot. A treadle is hinged to a projection extending rearwards of the base and pivotally mounted to the rear of a U-shaped boot jack that is pivotally mounted between the standards so that a boot, to be removed from a foot, may be clamped by the book jack with the second foot of the user pressed on the treadle to pivot the boot jack against the withdrawal force of the first foot being freed of the clamped boots.
