A glove donning system including glove assemblies is provided that maintains the cleanliness of a glove until the glove is utilized. In addition, the glove donning system assists a user during a donning process thereby preventing contamination of the glove during the donning process.

The invention relates to a glove having at least one gripping aid arranged at the periphery of the cuff, the surface of which gripping aid at least partially has patterning, especially knobs and/or grooves, wherein the glove at at least two of the total five finger spaces which are adapted to the fingers of a hand also has a structured surface or patterning, respectively, especially knobs and/or grooves, essentially at the ends of each finger space opposite the cuff which are provided for intake of the fingertips.

A glove-dispensing system (120) may position glove cartridges (50) adjacent to glove portals (150) through which hands (190) can be inserted to don the gloves (20) that have been expanded. The glove-dispensing system (120) may dispense gloves (20) of different sizes in response to a size selection signal.

A glove donning device includes a guide rack having a positioning portion, and a glove providing a connection portion at one side of the glove-wearing mouth thereof and a tear line at the junction of the glove and the connection portion. The connection portion is detachably fastened to the positioning portion of the guide rack to hand down the glove against one side of the guide rack. When the hand is wearing the glove, the guide rack holds the glove in place so that the glove will not move arbitrarily, and the user's hand can be easily and smoothly worn by the glove-wearing mouth into the glove by a one-handed movement. Then, the hand is pulled outward to tear the tear line apart, so that the glove can be easily disconnected from the connection portion. This design solves the disadvantage that conventional gloves (such as thin-film gloves) must be worn with both hands.

A glove dispenser for dispensing a glove. The dispenser includes a cabinet with a hand-insertion port; a glove storage container housed within the cabinet and includes at least one glove bin configured to store a plurality of gloves. The dispenser also includes a glove picking and positioning mechanism configured to remove one glove from one of the at least one glove storage bins and to fix the glove in a position accessible via the hand-insertion port; and a glove-cuff opening device.

A glove application system includes a glove application module providing a housing that defines an install cavity and an access aperture providing access into the install cavity, a pressure system that generates negative and positive pressures in the install cavity, and a glove cartridge assembly mounted to the housing and including a cartridge belt having a plurality of glove cartridges spaced along the cartridge belt, each glove cartridge having a glove releasably secured to the cartridge belt. The glove cartridge assembly is operable to advance the cartridge belt to sequentially align each glove cartridge with the access aperture. Negative pressure generated by the pressure system causes a glove aligned with the access aperture to inflate into the install cavity, and positive pressure generated by the pressure system causes the glove to seat against a hand extended into the glove through the access aperture.

The present invention relates to an apparatus (800) arranged for facilitating donning a garment (52) comprising a cuff on a part of a human body. The apparatus (800) comprises a at least one cuff opening arrangement (600, 700) arranged to open a cuff of a garment (52). The at least one cuff opening arrangement (600, 700) comprises a first (100) and a second (200) cuff opening assembly, each comprising a first (110, 210) and a second (120, 220) arm which are arranged to rotate around a first (GA1) and a second (GA2) geometrical axis, respectively. When the first (110, 210) and second (120, 220) arms are inserted into a cuff of the garment (52) and rotated around the first (GA1) and second (GA2) geometrical axes, respectively, the first (110, 210) and second (120, 220) arms are separated such that the cuff of the garment (52) is expanded. Thereby, facilitating donning the garment (52) on a part of a human body.

A latex glove inflation assembly includes a housing that is fluidly coupled to a vacuum source for purging the housing of air. The housing has a pair of glove apertures extending into an interior of the housing. A plurality of engagements is each distributed around a respective one of the glove apertures. Each of the engagements engages a wrist opening on a respective pair of latex gloves when the engagements are turned on. The latex gloves are inflated when the housing is purged of air thereby facilitating a user to insert their hands into the gloves. Each of the engagements releases the latex gloves when the engagements are turned off. A release is coupled to the housing and the release facilitates air to fill the housing when the release is turned on thereby facilitating each of the latex gloves to deflate around the user's hands.
