Abstract: A single use disposable glove having two or more layers with a thickness which can range from 0.02 mm to 0.04 mmm for food handling with satisfactory formfitting and durability, all the way up to about 0.10 mm and above for heavy duty applications while still maintaining comfort like that of natural and synthetic rubbers. Materials such as styrene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene (SEBS) or styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS) may be used to produce single use disposable gloves employing the cutting and sealing method. The use of these compositions could have a thickness between about 0.02 mm and about 0.1 mm or above. More importantly, the use of these compositions in the cutting and sealing process would yield a glove having better elasticity. The film quality using the various extrusion techniques would outperform a glove produced by the dipping process, not only in integrity (pinhole rate) but also in a thickness profile (uniformity).
Abstract: A single use disposable glove utilizing the cutting and sealing process. The various layers of the glove are produced from an extrusion process made from a variety of materials including, but not limited to, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, polyurethane, polybutene, styrene-butadiene copolymers, ethylene-propylene copolymers, their mixtures and blends.
Abstract: A disposable glove for a glove donning system is provided. The disposable glove has a first layer and a second layer. The second layer superimposes a region of the first layer. The first and second layers are joined together along their peripheries to form a 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 having a mounting hole and a line of weakness extending between the mounting hole and a rear edge of the mounting section; said mounting hole for mounting the glove on fastening means of a glove rack. The glove is mounted on the glove rack by inserting the fastening means into the mounting hole of the glove, and the glove on the glove rack can be taken off the glove rack by inserting a hand into the glove and applying a force to the glove in a direction of donning.
Abstract: A stacked unit of disposable gloves each having a glove body formed of front and back layers of plastic sealed around the periphery thereof forming a closed end and an open end and forming a thumb portion and one or more finger portions. A detachable section extends from the back layer adjacent the open end of each glove body and has a line of weakness, such as perforation suitable for separation of the detachable portion from each glove body. The detachable portion also includes means to mount each glove assembly on a glove support rack to form a stacked unit of gloves. The glove support rack having a top surface and front surface and a fastening means extending from the front surface for insertion into the mounting means on the glove assembly. The top glove of the stacked unit can be easily donned while on the glove rack and by applying force to the top glove in the direction of donning the line of weakness separate the glove from the detachable section.
