Non-Woven Antibacterial Hand Glove

Abstract

Methods and devices for rendering hand gloves antibacterial are disclosed. A hand glove comprising a non-woven, porous, and/or hydrophobic sheet can be impregnated with a sanitizing-based solution on an exterior surface. The sanitizing-based solution, which can be a porous alcohol or a non-alcohol based solution that contains functional ingredients can be used to kill germs and bacteria during initial contact with surfaces. After impregnation with the sanitizing-based solution, the hand glove can provide functionality that allows the sanitizing-based solution to uniformly adhere to the hand glove such that a gloved hand can touch and clean surfaces while keeping hands protected and safeguarded.

Claims

1. An antibacterial hand glove comprising: a sheet that can be impregnated with an aqueous alcohol sanitizer solution, wherein the aqueous alcohol sanitizer comprises a hydrophobic functional ingredient entrapped in a plurality of polymeric beads, the hydrophobic functional ingredient being formulated and applied near an exterior surface of the sheet.

2. The antibacterial hand glove of claim 1, wherein the plurality of polymeric beads are located on a plurality of surfaces of the sheet.

3. The antibacterial hand glove of claim 1, wherein the plurality of polymeric beads are in the form of a polymeric content that includes a sanitizing solution.

4. The antibacterial hand glove of claim 1, wherein the plurality of polymeric beads are microcapsules.

5. The antibacterial hand glove of claim 1, wherein the hydrophobic functional ingredient is alcohol present in an amount between 60 to 80% by weight of the sheet.

6. A method of rendering a hand glove antibacterial comprising: applying the hand glove over, a hand; impregnating an exterior surface of a sheet of the hand glove with an aqueous sanitizing solution; and waiting for a controlled release of at least one functional ingredient of the aqueous sanitizing solution before cleaning an object.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the aqueous sanitizing solution is applied in sprayon dry form.

8. The method of claim 6, wherein the aqueous sanitizing solution contents are applied in the form of a spray on liquid or a sulking wet bath.

9. The method of claim 6, wherein the aqueous sanitizing solution is applied before the sheet is impregnated with the sanitizing solution.

10. (canceled)

11. The method of claim 6, wherein the plurality of polymeric beads are mixed with the aqueous sanitizing solution when applied to the sheet.

12. The antibacterial hand glove of claim 1, wherein the sheet is porous.

13. The antibacterial hand glove of claim 1, wherein the sheet is hydrophobic.

14. The antibacterial hand glove of claim 1, wherein the sheet is non-woven.

15. The method of claim 6, wherein the sheet is porous.

16. The method of claim 6, wherein the sheet is hydrophobic.

17. The method of claim 6, wherein the sheet is non-woven.

18. A cleaning kit comprising: a hand glove comprising a non-woven porous sheet or a hydrophobic sheet; and an aqueous solution, wherein the aqueous solution is applied to an exterior surface of the hand glove.

19. The cleaning kit of claim 18, wherein the aqueous solution is an alcohol based sanitizing solution.

20. The cleaning kit of claim 18, wherein the aqueous solution is a non-alcohol based sanitizing solution.

21. The cleaning kit of claim 18, wherein the aqueous solution is applied in at least one of the following ways: a sprayon dry form, a spray on liquid, or a sulking wet bath.

Description

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0008] Reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings, which are not necessarily drawn to scale, are incorporated into, and constitute a portion of, this disclosure, illustrate various implementations and aspects of the disclosed technology and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the disclosed technology. In the drawings:

[0009] FIG. 1 is a front view of an example of an antimicrobial hand glove, in accordance with some examples of the present disclosure; and

[0010] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an example of an antimicrobial hand glove, in accordance with some examples of the present disclosure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0011] FIGS. 1 and 2 show embodiments of a nonwoven antibacterial hand glove. In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the glove has an area to insert a wrist 1 and an area to insert a plurality of fingers 2 for ease of use of the glove. In both FIGS. 1 and 2, 3 is the of the glove that can be saturated with aqueous liquids or hydrophobic formulas to obtain different antibacterial uses of the gloves. FIGS. 1 and 2, 3 contains the contents of non-woven hydrophobic material and/or permeable material that is used to cover the human hand and protect with the aqueous sanitizes solution.
