Abstract: An apparatus for making thin protective gloves from a double thermoplastic film web comprises a belt conveyor intermittently moving the film web over a flat bed. Two tool assemblies, each having four identical cutting and welding tools on an intermittently rotatable vertical shaft, are disposed at opposite sides of the conveyor. Each tool has a heated die formed to the shape of the gloves and a suction plate disposed within the die. The tools of the tool assemblies are successively pressed against the web portion on the flat bed during the rest periods of the conveyor. The suction plates lift the gloves parted from the web and transfer them to a delivery station on rotation of the shafts.
