Abstract

A glove for removing detachable material from an object such as a vegetable, e.g., for removing the skin of a potato. The glove is either knitted or twilled of at least one thread of at least one elastic, plastic material. The glove is manufactured by providing the at least one plastic material, knitting or twilling the glove, and finally heat treating the glove to cure the texture of the glove to a predetermined surface hardness depending on the object from which detachable material is to be removed.

Scrub gloves for removing loose-fitting skins The scope of production

This production is about a set of gloves which, due to its rough design and type of flexible knit of elastic plastic material, can be used for removal of loose skin on, for example, potatoes and human skin, or in the alternative removal of other deposits such as discoloration of porcelain on, for example, ordinary dishes.

Prior art

Cleaning of loose-fitting skins is usually done by using conventional rigid brushes, rough sponges or gloves, which works by applying a particularly rough material to the glove, for example by sewing or gluing on the palm and / or fingertips. Furthermore, there are natural fungi as well as smaller hand-driven machines for the purpose, which similarly produce a desired effect via a rough surface.

The technical problem to be solved

The use of brushes and rough sponges for cleaning loose-fitting skins, etc. often causes accidental skin abrasions of hands fingers etc. for prolonged use, just as the item being cleaned cannot be easily held during cleaning. Known conventional gloves of conventional material are relatively expensive, not very suitable as they become heavy with water and subsequently have a very long drying time.

The new technique

The new generation combines known materials and design in a new way so that cleaning and removing of skins can be done in a more convenient and inexpensive way in an ordinary household. The gloves are applied to the hands as is generally known and, through their knitted, rough and plastic-like nature, loosely hanging parts can now be rubbed off, just as the often wet items can be more easily manually held by the nature of the glove. After use, the glove can dry very quickly after use, thus maintaining a high hygienic standard.

DK 2006 00052 U3

The glove can withstand both washing in a regular washing machine and a dishwasher.

Typical characteristics of elastic plastic material that can be knitted are an E-module in the range 125,000 psi - 150,000 psi and an elongation at break of order 6.0-9.0 (600% - 900%).

The technical impact

The cleaning of skins, skin can be done in a new, simple, hygienic and economical way without involving the other household products used for other purposes.

Embodiment Examples Figure 1 shows a glove in its entirety in one embodiment.

Only one size is made as the knit and the design is sufficiently flexible and elastic to fit most adults and young people. As shown in Figure 1, a rubber or textile print in white color is made on the back of the hand with the inscription "Potato" or "Body Serub" which is the relevant English word.
