  • Patent number: 4034853
    Abstract: Disposable plastic film gloves are prepared from strip film material in two layers which are heat sealed in the outline of the five fingers of a glove and simultaneously die cut to remove the material between the fingers and to the side and base of the respective gloves. The gloves are formed in a strip with the three center fingers of each glove fitting the curved base or wrist opening of the adjacent glove. The heat seal at the fingers adjacent to the wrist opening of the next glove is arranged with a perforation or serration outside the heat sealed portion in the wrist portion of the succeeding glove. This structure permits a strip of gloves to be rolled or provided in reversed overlapping layers for continuous dispensing and permits each glove to be pulled off from the succeeding one with all of the intermediate portions cut out and the wrist opening completely open and ready for use.
