Abstract

A multiple leg covering donning assist device that includes a hollow horizontally-oriented and substantially opened-front base frame, a pair of hollow substantially vertically-oriented side frames, and a pair of hollow tandemly-positioned and substantially vertically-oriented intermediate frames. The hollow horizontally-oriented and substantially opened-front base frame has ends. The pair of hollow substantially vertically-oriented side frames are gripped by a user and extend vertically upwardly and slightly rearwardly from the ends of the hollow horizontally-oriented and substantially opened-front base frame and have a height. And, the pair of hollow tandemly-positioned and substantially vertically-oriented intermediate frames receive leg coverings and extend vertically upwardly and slightly rearwardly from the hollow horizontally-oriented and substantially opened-front base frame and are disposed intermediate the pair of hollow substantially vertically-oriented side frames, so that both legs of a user can be covered simultaneously.
