Abstract: In making a protective glove, a lightweight fabric lining is mounted on a rotatable form beneath a distributor of fluid coating material. The form is rotated while the coating material is allowed to flow by gravity from the distributor onto the lining on the form. Initially the form is tilted so that the fingers are inclined upwardly and the coating material is flowed onto a zone embracing the junction of the fingers and thumb with the body of the glove. The form is then tilted so that the fingers are inclined downwardly and the distributor is traversed relatively to the form so as to coat successive zones of the lining until the entire lining is uniformly coated.
