Problems solved by technology

While the system effectively creates a mechanized process for stripping the gloves and then dropping them on the conveyor belt, the equipment is relatively complex and heavy, making it more difficult to achieve a cycle fast enough to match the speed of a glove production line

Embodiment Construction

[0114] figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of production line 1, while figure 2 A perspective view of a section of a production line used in various embodiments of the invention described in detail below is shown. The production line has conveying equipment, in this example a pair of rail conveyors 6, 6' which convey a series of downwardly depending dip-molding forms 4 on which the gloves 2 have been cast. Dip molding and subsequent curing. In this example, the models are spaced on 200mm centers.

[0115] Gloves are made of elastic material, and in this example are disposable nitrile exam gloves for medical, dental, veterinary or food preparation applications, however, the principles of the invention are applicable to similar materials made of thin and flexible elastic Other types of dipped molded gloves made and having rolled ends. The glove is formed on the dip molded form 4 using production techniques familiar to those skilled in the art. In this example, there are two...

Abstract

A glove stripping apparatus (15) for fully stripping a partially stripped elastomeric dip-moulded glove (2) from a hand-shaped dip-moulding former(4) comprises a gripping device (25) relatively movable with respect to a downwardly hanging cuff end portion (10), a gripping actuator (32),a stripping actuator (35) and a controller for controlling the operation of the actuators. The relative movement of the gripping device and the downwardly hanging cuff end portion is driven by the stripping actuator. The gripping device has first and second gripping members (24, 26) movable relative to each other by the gripping actuator. The gripping members provide opposed gripping surfaces (34, 36) for gripping the cuff end portion. The first gripping member and the second gripping member initially provide a horizontally extending gap between the gripping surfaces which receives the cuff end portion. The gripping members are moved to reduce the gap (40') until the cuff end portion is restrained between the gripping surfaces with a beaded cuff end (3) of the glove being below the gap. The gripping members are moved downwardly (46) together towards the beaded cuff end so that the cuff end portion moves upwards relative to the gap until the beaded cuff end (3) is caught by the gap (40'). The downward movement is then continued until the glove is fully stripped from the dip-moulding former.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to apparatus and methods for peeling elastic gloves from a dip molding form when the gloves have been partially peeled such that each glove has a downwardly depending cuff end with a terminal beaded cuff end. The invention particularly relates to the peeling and subsequent handling of dip molded disposable examination gloves such as those used in clinical, veterinary, dental or medical settings or in other situations where hygiene is important (eg food preparation). Background technique [0002] There is an increasing need to control patient infections with multiantibiotic-resistant infectious bacteria, particularly methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), in hospitals, outpatient clinics, and physicians' surgical procedures. The study also showed that if someone had MRSA on their hands, the bacteria stayed on the next four surfaces that person touched. Once MRSA lands on an item, it remains there for up to 80 ...
