As Simple As Putting On Socks

By on November 1, 2011 in Inventions / News

Gaston Gazette:

George T. Adams can still put on his socks at age 85, but may not be able to do that in a year.

That’s why he invented the “Sox Butler,” a device that helps a person put on socks without having to bend down.

Adams first tried looking in medical supply stores for a similar device.

“And they didn’t have anything,” Adams said. “On the way home I said, ‘Hell, I’ll just make something.”

It took Adams a few days to come up with the design back in 2010. He’s made a few improvements since then.

Adams charges $9 for the Sox Butler. That’s about what it costs for the materials and labor.

    Another wonderful invention for seniors and the disabled, which allows them to get dressed and get on with life. Hey, I’m all for it. My Mom is 89; Dad 87, they are both mobility challenged and would, I’m sure be thrilled to own a Sox Butler!
