  • Publication number: 20050193471
    Abstract: A disposable glove including a first layer and a second layer overlaying a region of the first layer, said first and second layers being joined together along their peripheries to form an abutted portion and an opening for inserting a hand between the first and second layers. The first layer of the glove has a mounting section attached to the rest of the first layer by a transverse line of weakness, and the mounting section has a mounting hole for mounting the glove on a glove rack. A distance between a tip of a middle finger portion of the glove and the transverse line of weakness is between approximately 28 cm and approximately 32 cm. For example, the distance may be approximately 30 cm. The first layer on the palm-side of the disposable glove after detaching from the mounting section may cover the hand and about one-third (e.g., approximately 36%) of the forearm between the wrist and the elbow of a person wearing the glove.
