  • Patent number: 8550314
    Abstract: A flexible member (114) for supporting a glove in a manner whereby it can be readily donned by a user without touching the exterior of the glove. The flexible member (114) having a substantially planar glove support portion (122) which, when viewed in plan, conforms to the shape of at least part of the interior of a glove and is fittable, in use, to the interior of a glove through the cuff aperture thereof, and an attachment portion (112) by which the flexible member (114) can be held to facilitate donning of a glove and the subsequent removal of the glove support portion (122) from the cuff aperture of a glove while the glove is worn by a user. The glove support portion (122) is of sufficient flexibility to deflect around the hand of a user as said hand is inserted into a glove supported by the glove support portion (122), and further to deflect around the wrist of a user as the glove support portion (122) is removed from the glove through the cuff aperture thereof.

  • Publication number: 20050022310
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for treating solvent-spun, cellulosic fibres, wherein the fibres are contacted with a textile auxiliary agent in an alkaline environment. The process according to the invention is characterized in that a compound of the general formula or a salt thereof, respectively, is used as the textile auxiliary agent, wherein R1 is a bridging link selected from the group consisting of a linear or branched chain comprising 1 to 4 C-atoms and phenyl, R2 and R3 are the same or different and are selected from the group consisting of (CH2)m—CH?CH2 with m=0 to 2, and wherein R4 denotes a ionic group and/or a group ionizable in an alkaline environment.
