A glove donning system is disclosed herein. The glove donning system presents a pair of inflated gloves for a user to easily don, then resets to present another pair.

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.

An apparatus for dispensing a disposable glove and applying it to the hand of a user in which a stream of air drawn into an enclosed glove applying chamber through a constricted opening aligned with the heel of the glove inflates the topmost glove in a stack of gloves in the chamber so that a user can readily insert his hand into the glove. After the user has donned the glove on the hand, a wall of the chamber is opened to permit the user to readily withdraw his hand from the glove applying chamber while the air flow which originally inflated the top-most glove is disrupted. Upon closures of the chamber wall, the re-established air flow automatically inflates the next lower glove in the glove stack to prepare the next glove for receipt of another hand.

A donning system allows a user to don disposable garments without contaminating the exterior of the garment. The disposable garment is part of a garment package, which also includes a cuff by which the garment is loaded into and dispensed from the donning system. The cuff includes elements whereby multiple garments are simultaneously loaded, but the garments are dispensed and donned one at a time. The donning system can include multiple cartridges allowing the user to don multiple garments simultaneously, such as right and left gloves or shoe covers. The donning system can include multiple chambers allowing the system to dispense garments of different sizes.

A pair of protective gloves each glove having a glove body with finger portions that can be preselectively webbed together or each finger can be kept separated. The gloves are capable of withstanding heat, cold, puncture, shock and other similar hazards. One of the gloves includes an engagement member such as a magnetic member on the inner wrist portion of the glove that cooperates with an anchoring member on the inner wrist portion of the opposite glove that can be made of a ferromagnetic material to attract both gloves to each other. Once attracted a user can use a lip on the anchoring member to leverage his hands out of the gloves, thereby preventing the user from having to come in contact with the outside of the glove bodies when donning and doffing the gloves. Either or both glove assemblies can include a lighting assembly mounted thereon that provide illumination and visibility to a user desired work area.

A method of preventing contamination of gloves for the medical industry by using negative pressure to inflate the glove the allowing a user to merely insert their hands without touching the exterior portion of the gloves. The apparatus is comprised of a strip of sealed gloves, a regularly sterilized vacuum chamber, a vacuum pump, and a controller.

A gloving apparatus that comprises a glove box, a glove-lifting device, a glove-opening device, and a glove-inflating device. The glove box is designed to contain gloves. The glove-lifting device is designed to lift gloves, one at a time, from the glove box and insert the glove opening over said glove-opening device. The glove-lifting device comprises a vertical rod with one or more fastening devices at the bottom end, and vertical and horizontal activators. The glove-opening device has four spreading fingers, each of which can move horizontally and vertically using activators. The glove-inflating device comprises a sealing ring, an air tubule, and an activator that can move the sealing ring back and forth.

The present invention is a manual non-mechanized device that consists of a base and a guide. This invention is a device that provides an expeditious method to invert or turn inside-out and to reform or turn glove appendages back to the proper side, that has numerous openings, one of which accepts a guide. The guide is defined as an asymmetrical cylinder having two (2) opposing ends. One end has a concave configuration and above and adjacent to the other end are a couple of grooves that circumscribe the guide with a couple of flexible elements fitted therein. The latter end is fitted into one of the openings in the base, to be securely mounted therein without using threaded means. The present invention facilitates efficient cleaning and/or rapid drying of the lining and quick reformation to the proper side with a proper fit. The main objective of the present invention is to promote healthy, morbidity free hands in the workplace and at home.

A mechanical system that aids the removal of gloves from hand is provided. The system employs one or more hooks to widen the opening of a glove from or about the hand to aid the glove's removal from the hand. Once a glove is removed, both the glove and the hook(s), or a disposable portion thereof, are safely dropped below into a waste compartment. A plurality of hooks, or disposable portions thereof, are stored and supplied within a mechanical compartment for use as needed. A fresh hook(s) is dispensed when another glove is to be removed from a user's hand. One or both hands of a user may be safely de-gloved and dispensed during one operational sequence.
