PACKING SYSTEM FOR MEDICAL DISPOSABLE GLOVES WITH THE METHOD FOR EXTERNAL EXTRACTION REDUCING CONTAMINATION

Abstract

The method of protecting the protective gloves against contamination consists in placing at least one glove (2 of FIG. 1) in the container (1 of FIG. 1) made of waterproof material, preferably plastic, which is then sealed, whereas the cuff of at least one glove (2 of FIG. 3) is placed in the immediate vicinity of the glove removal hole (7 of FIG. 1), so that after detaching the closure, the glove (2 of FIG. 1) is gripped by the cuff. The container and the system used to implement this method is also the subject of the invention.

Description

THE OBJECT OF THE INVENTION IS SHOWN IN EXAMPLE DRAWINGS WHERE

[0030] FIG. 1 presents the container for gloves,

[0031] FIG. 2 presents the container for gloves attached to the rack,

[0032] FIG. 3 presents the manner of extracting gloves from the container, and

[0033] FIG. 4 presents a foldable rack for containers.

EXAMPLE, USING FIG. 1 AS REFERENCE

[0034] The container (1) for disposable gloves (2) is made of a waterproof material which is advantageously of a plastic. Inside the container there are disposable gloves (2). The top part of the container (1) is sealed by means of a permanent seal (3) and the bottom part of the container (1) is also sealed by means of a permanent seal (4). These permanent seals (3 and 4) have perforations (5 and 6). In the top part of the container (1) there is an opening hole (7) for extracting the glove(s) (2). The external surface of the container (1), in the immediate proximity of the opening hole (7), is coated with glue (8) where to film (9) covering and securing the opening hole (7) is attached. Glue (8) is a type of glue which enables film (9) to be opened and closed multiple times. Vertical pillars (10) of the rack have the container (1) attached in such a manner that the ends of the poles are placed in the perforations (5). Container (1) rests on the horizontal bracket (11). At the bottom part of the rack there is a horizontal bracket (12) connected to the pillars (10). There are hooks (13) attached to bracket (12) through springs (14). The hooks (13) pass through the perforations (6).

[0035] At FIGS. 2 and 3 please see that the container (1) is attached to pillars (10) which are tilted at an angle (a) relative to the ground. The top part of the container (1) is attached to the pillars (10) and the bottom part (of the container) is attached to the bracket (12) by means of a system of hooks (13) with springs or elastic (14). The force of gravity (G) helps a glove to move freely downwards. The container is stretched on the rack and it is acted on by a force of tension (T). When a glove (2 FIG. 3) is pulled out of the container the container is additionally acted on by a force (F2 FIG. 2) and at the same time a force (F1) generated by the springs (14).

[0036] At FIG. 4 please see that the rack for attaching containers consists of vertical poles (10) and horizontal brackets (11 and 12). The bottom horizontal bracket (12) has hooks (13) attached to it on springs or elastic (14). The rack is reinforced with diagonal brackets (15) which are connected to the poles (10) by means of hardware connectors (16).
