Abstract

The invention relates to a glove, in particular a single-use or disposable glove. Said glove comprises at least two substantially congruous synthetic material films, one forming the exterior face, which is assigned to the back surface of the hand and one forming the interior face, which is assigned to the palm surface of the hand and at least one absorbent exterior layer that is applied externally to the exterior face and/or the interior face and that is provided with at least one liquid, in particular sprayed and/or soaked and/or impregnated with said liquid. The synthetic material films are connected together in a fixed manner, at least in the vicinity of their lateral edge areas, leaving free a glove opening that lies opposite a finger area. Said opening is substantially sealed in a fluid-tight manner and can be revealed and/or opened in order to use the glove.

Description

GLOVE

The present invention relates to gloves, in particular disposable or disposable gloves, with at least two substantially congruent, one that can be assigned to the outside of the palm and one that can be assigned to the inside of the palm, and with at least one absorbent, applied on the outside and / or on the inside, provided with at least one liquid and in particular sprayed and / or soaked and / or impregnated outer layer.

Here, the term "glove" is to be understood to include both gloves and mittens. Such disposable or disposable gloves consist essentially of plastic and are used, for example, for cleaning purposes of all kinds, for example in personal hygiene and when washing frail or motionless people.

In order to make work easier for the cleaning or washing person, the absorbent outer layer is usually applied on the inside outside already provided with at least one liquid - for example a cleaning or washing liquid - that is, for example sprayed and / or soaked and / or impregnated.

Since gloves of this type - not least because of their consistency - are disposable or disposable items, they are often provided in multipacks, for example in packs of ten; In order to save space and thus packaging material as well as storage space, several or many of these gloves are made available in the folded, rolled and / or stacked state.

Here, there is now the possibility that the liquid with which the outer layer of the gloves is provided will penetrate through the glove opening m into the inside of the glove, which is not least undesirable from a hygiene point of view.

Based on the disadvantages and shortcomings set out above, the present invention is based on the object of developing such gloves, in particular such disposable or disposable gloves, in a simple manner and at low cost so that penetration of the liquid with which the outer layer of the gloves is provided the inside of the glove is definitely avoided.

This object is achieved by a glove of the type mentioned, in which, according to the teaching of the present invention, the plastic films at least are firmly connected to one another at the lateral edge areas, with the release of a glove opening lying opposite to a finger area, essentially liquid-tightly closed and to be exposed and / or opened for the purpose of using the glove.

According to the invention, a glove is accordingly provided, which is provided on the outside, but preferably only on the outside, with an expediently highly absorbent ("superabsorbent") outer layer made of paper or of (paper) fleece. This paper or fleece layer can be kept very thin, so that material can be saved considerably.

Since the absorbent outer layer, which is usually applied on the inside on the outside, is provided with at least one liquid - for example a cleaning or washing liquid - that is, for example, sprayed and / or soaked and / or impregnated, the glove opening is essentially liquid-tight and sealed when put into use of the glove, i.e. to expose and / or open it for the purpose of using the glove.

Thus, a glove, in particular a disposable or disposable glove, is provided in a manner which is surprising for the person skilled in the art and which can be produced in a simple and inexpensive manner and which reliably prevents the liquid with which the outer layer of the gloves is provided over time through the glove opening into the inside of the glove penetrates.

According to a preferred development of the present invention, at least one band which extends essentially transversely to the direction of insertion of the hand is arranged along the glove opening or in the region of the glove opening, in particular is attached to the inside edge opposite the finger region (here the term "finger region" is so used) understand that the area is included for both the thumb and the four other fingers (index finger, middle finger, ring finger, little finger).

This band, which advantageously extends over the substantially entire width of the glove and can, for example, be substantially opaque or also substantially transparent, is used, among other things, for the plastic film having the outside along the glove opening or in the region of the glove opening on the inside having to fix plastic film in order to ensure a permanent and in particular liquid-tight closure of the glove opening until the glove is put into use.

According to a particularly inventive development of the present glove, the plastic films are also firmly and essentially liquid-tightly connected to one another in the edge regions assigned to the glove opening, for example by gluing and / or by welding and / or by sealing. In order to enable access to the interior of the glove when the glove is used, in a preferred embodiment, at least one which extends essentially transversely to the direction of insertion of the hand, expediently before, for example, by gluing and / or or by welding and / or by sealing the connection of the plastic film having the outside, the plastic film having the inside and the outer layer of the predetermined breaking line or predetermined tear line of the plastic film having the outside, which is closer to the finger area than the edge areas arranged to the glove opening and is essentially liquid-tight connection of the plastic films and along which the glove opening can be opened. By opening this predetermined breaking line or predetermined tear line, the hand can thus be inserted into the inside of the glove in the direction of insertion.

According to a further, particularly expedient embodiment of the present invention, at least one predetermined breaking line or predetermined tear line of the plastic film having the outside, the plastic film having the inside and the outer layer can be provided along the glove opening or in the region of the glove opening, essentially transverse to the direction of insertion of the hand, which is closer to the finger area than the fixed and essentially liquid-tight connection of the plastic films arranged in the edge areas assigned to the glove opening and along which the glove opening can be opened. By providing this, to a certain extent, "continuous", that is to say all the layers (= both plastic films and outer layer) of the glove congruently capturing the predetermined breaking line or tear line, access to the glove opening can be achieved by separating the section of the glove associated with the glove opening along the predetermined breaking line or predetermined tear line when the glove is used can be done easily.

The predetermined breaking lines or tear lines can practically extend over the substantially entire width of the glove in order to allow complete access to the interior of the glove. For reasons of simple handling of the predetermined breaking lines or predetermined tear lines, an essentially lime-shaped course is recommended for these.

If the present invention is to be developed in a particularly inventive manner, it is advisable to design the predetermined breaking line or predetermined tear line as a sealed area or as a sealed line. As an alternative or in addition to this, the predetermined breaking line or predetermined tear line can also be designed as a particularly hard-pressed area or as a particularly hard-pressed line. The predetermined breaking line or predetermined tear line can also be achieved by using knurling technique (-> knurled area or knurled line); Finally, one should also think of the possibility of causing the predetermined breaking line or breaking line through at least one perforation. According to a particularly inventive development of the present glove, the edge of the outside opposite the finger area can be arranged offset to the edge of the inside opposite the finger area. This allows a particularly convenient insertion of the hand m the glove, because the user of the glove can compensate for the fact that the two plastic films may be anemander, by gripping the protruding edge in a simple manner and pulling the two plastic films apart slightly.

Irrespective of this or in connection therewith, according to an advantageous embodiment of the present invention, at least one optionally reclosable closure means is arranged along the glove opening or in the region of the glove opening, which can be removed in particular for the purpose of exposing and / or opening the glove opening and which is practically essentially can extend transversely to the direction of insertion of the hand and in particular over the substantially entire width of the glove opening.

Advantageously, the closure means, like the plastic films, is made of plastic, for example in the form of a so-called "Mmi-Grip" system, in which the closure means has at least one band on the inside of one plastic film and at least one on the inside of the other plastic film has the groove-shaped receptacle assigned to the band for the band. Alternatively or in addition to this, the closure means can optionally also be designed as at least one adhesive tape and / or as at least one adhesive label and / or as at least one adhesive flap and / or as at least one tape.

In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the fastener is Velcro, that is, designed as a Velcro fastener, which promotes reclosability of the glove insofar as a fastener can be opened and closed several times in the manner of a Velcro fastener, so that such a fastener can also be repeated Stress has grown without any problems.

This also applies to a closure means based on at least one "Mmi-Gπp" system and for a closure means based on at least one adhesive tape and / or at least one adhesive label and / or at least one adhesive flap and / or at least one tape.

According to a particularly preferred development of the present invention, in the area of the glove opening between the plastic film having the outside and the plastic film having the inside, there can be at least one adhesive agent which extends essentially transversely to the direction of insertion of the hand and which practically extends over the substantially entire width of the Glove extends and also acts as a kind of closure.

In this context it is recommended as Adhesion promoter at least one adhesive, in particular at least one cold adhesive or cold glue and / or at least one thermally active adhesive (so-called hot-melt adhesive).

In an advantageous development of the present invention, the absorbent outer layer, which is provided with at least one liquid, that is to say sprayed in and / or impregnated and / or impregnated, is statically chargeable, in particular electrostatically chargeable and / or magnetostatically chargeable, so that the glove advantageously also Dirt and / or dust wiping is suitable, because by using an outer layer material with high static chargeability, the dirt and / or dust accumulates particularly easily on the outer layer. This takes place in a particularly efficient manner if the outer layer has iron filings in powder form.

For example, in order to reliably prevent the formation of pathogenic germs or the like when using the present invention as a cosmetic glove and / or as a medical glove, the outer layer according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention has at least one disinfectant and / or germicidal additive, for example in the form of a disinfectant that can be added to the outer layer.

A significant advantage in this context is the fact that such disinfectant and / or germicidal additives can be dosed very precisely, including, for example, ground spices can be thought of in (paper) nonwoven.

It is expedient if, as already mentioned, the absorbent outer layer has paper or nonwoven and if the plastic film is weldable and / or sealable; the plastic film is preferably made of polyethylene (PE), which material has the advantage that it can be air-permeable under certain conditions, but not liquid-permeable; in contrast, polypropylene (PP) can be liquid-permeable under certain conditions, but not air-permeable.

According to an advantageous development of the present invention, at least one of the plastic films is microperformed at least in places. As a result, a kind of breathable glove is provided, as the plastic foils do not allow liquid exchange, but do allow air exchange; this has the positive consequence that an unpleasant sweating of the hand in the glove can be avoided.

The substantially congruent plastic films can preferably be approximately rectangular in plan view. In a simple manner, the plastic films are formed from a plastic sheet folded in the form of a tube and extending in the longitudinal direction, the longitudinally extending fold edge forming the upper side of the glove in the region of the fingertips of the hand inserted therein, and the two edges lying opposite the folded edge forming the Form glove opening; the gloves are therefore lying side by side.

As a result, a weld or sealing seam does not necessarily have to be provided in the area of the folded edge, which simplifies the manufacture of the glove. Only at the lateral edge areas, and optionally at the edge areas assigned to the glove opening, are the congruent plastic films expediently firmly and essentially liquid-tightly connected to one another by gluing and / or by welding and / or by sealing. However, the gloves can advantageously be rotated at a right angle, and thus formed one behind the other from the plastic sheet.

In an expedient embodiment, instead of an approximately rectangular interior or also an approximately round or at least rounded interior for the hand, the glove can have at least in regions at least one weld or sealing seam in the form of a distance from the lateral edge regions and / or from the folded edge Gloves (with up to six receiving areas for the fingers, but also with receiving areas in which two or more fingers can be picked up next to each other at the same time) or in the shape of a mitten; this makes the glove more grippy and easier to handle.

The welded or sealed seam in plan view can advantageously have a thumb section on both sides of the finger area for receiving a thumb. So gloves for the left hand and right hand gloves cannot be manufactured separately; rather, each glove can be worn on the left and right so that the absorbent outer layer is assigned to the inside of the glove.

Furthermore, in an expedient embodiment of the present invention it is provided to provide at least one further congruent plastic film for the two congruent plastic films on the side opposite to the outer layer, this further plastic film being connected at least to the neighboring plastic film via a further welded or sealed seam which is spaced apart of the welded or sealed seam in the form of a glove or in the form of a mitten, but runs essentially parallel to it.

The further weld or seal seam should in this case take up a larger area than the first-mentioned weld or seal seam, as a result of which a glove, but of a different size, is formed between two adjacent congruent plastic films. Thus, the gloves can be used for very large hands as well as for very small hands without endangering the comfort of use.

Two or more disposable or disposable gloves are preferably provided side by side or one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the plastic web depending on the arrangement on the plastic web, the individual gloves being easily separable by at least one linear perforation running transversely to the longitudinal direction. With this you can Gloves according to the present invention are rolled up in the longitudinal direction and dispensed individually by means of a dispensing device.

If the glove according to the present invention is to be further developed in a particularly advantageous manner, it is advisable to provide at least one locking fastener in the region of the glove opening with at least one fixing or fastening strap which extends essentially transversely to the direction of insertion of the hand. In a preferred manner, at least em fixing or fastening tape is thus formed, which is arranged in the region of the so-called "cuff" of the glove and with which the glove opening can be closed after inserting the hand m.

The arrangement of the locking device in the area of the glove opening, that is to say in the gauntlet area, on the one hand does not involve any additional material expenditure because the material required for the locking device is provided by the plastic film (s) anyway and would otherwise only be waste; on the other hand, the provision of the locking fastener and the resulting locking function in the area of the glove opening e reliably prevents the hand from slipping out of the glove, since the gauntlet area, which otherwise tends to flutter around uncontrollably and, in extreme cases, may inadvertently tear, in the worst case means the area of the glove opening can be fixed and closed by the locking lock.

In a more specific embodiment, this Fixing or fastening tape on two ends, wherein one end is preferably provided on one side of the glove opening and the other end is provided on the other side of the glove opening. A particularly good closing action with regard to the glove opening is achieved here if one end can be turned over to the other end and if the ends can be detachably fastened to one another.

In this context, it is advisable to design one end as a receiving part having at least one clear opening area and the other end as a plug-in part adapted to the opening area and intended for insertion into the opening area. The plug-in part can then expediently be turned over onto the receptacle and detachably fastened to the receptacle by inserting the plug-in part into the receptacle having the opening area and thus releasably fastening it to the receptacle.

The above-described locking and fixing principle works excellently for the area of the glove opening to be closed, for example, if the receiving part is provided on one side of the glove opening and if the plug-in part is provided on the other side of the glove opening. In such a constellation it is reliably ensured that the plug-in part can be turned over onto the receiving part and can be detachably fastened to the receiving part.

Alternatively or in addition to this, the fixing or fastening tape can be knotted and / or tied and / or detachably fastened by means of adhesive or by means of at least one adhesive point or by means of at least one adhesive strip or by means of at least one tape.

According to a particularly inventive development of the present invention, at least one carrier tape is provided on the outside. On the one hand, this carrier tape has a stabilizing function, in particular when the gloves according to the present invention are unrolled in the longitudinal direction and dispensed individually by means of a dispensing device; on the other hand, the carrier tape can also be used as a holder for the glove, in particular when the carrier tape is provided instead of the plastic film forming the outside in a material-saving manner.

In the latter case, the hand of the user is inserted between the carrier tape and the plastic film forming the inside, that is to say the carrier tape then acts, as it were, as a holding tape or as a holder which is pulled over the back of the hand. In this context, a particularly advantageous function is ensured if two carrier strips arranged approximately parallel to one another are provided.

According to a particularly inventive further development of the present glove, the closure means and the locking closure are formed uniformly and / or in one piece and / or in an integrated form, with which additional material savings are associated is because the material required for both the closure means and for the locking closure is already provided by the plastic film (s) and would otherwise only be waste.

Identical or similar components or features of the present invention are provided with identical reference numerals in FIGS. 1 to 11.

In Figure 1, the disposable or disposable gloves according to a first embodiment of the present invention are designated by the reference numeral 5. They have two congruent plastic films 6, 7, which are rectangular in plan view, which are fixed in the edge regions 8, forming an outer side 9 and an inner side 10 and also leaving a glove opening 11 open by gluing or by welding or by sealing to one another are connected.

Furthermore, the glove 5 is provided on the inside 10 on the outside with an absorbent outer layer 12, which consists of paper (non-woven). This outer layer 12 - like the outer layer 12 of the following exemplary embodiments of the present glove 5 or 50 - is provided with a liquid, in particular with a cleaning or washing liquid, that is to say sprayed and / or soaked and / or impregnated.

The plastic films 6, 7, on the other hand, are made of polyethylene (PE) and microperforated, so that e a breathable glove 5 is provided, which permits air exchange; this has the positive consequence that em unpleasant sweating of the hand in the glove 5 can be avoided.

The congruent plastic films 6, 7 are formed from a plastic sheet folded in the shape of a tube and extending in the longitudinal direction 13, the folded edge 14 extending in the longitudinal direction 13 forming the upper side of the glove 5 in the region of the fingertips and the two lying opposite the folded edge 14 Edges 15, 16 form the glove opening 11.

As can be seen from the illustration in FIG. 2 (= illustration along the section line II-II from FIG. 1), the edge 15 of the outside 9 opposite the finger region 30 is offset from the edge 16 of the inside 10 opposite the finger region 30. This enables a particularly comfortable insertion of the hand into the glove 5, because the user of the glove 5 can, if necessary, compensate for the fact that the two plastic films 6, 7 may adhere to one another by simply gripping the protruding edge 16 and the two Plastic foils easily pull apart.

In order to prevent the liquid, with which the outer layer 12 of the glove 5 is provided, from entering the interior of the glove over time through the glove opening 11 m before the glove 5 is put into use, a sealing means 80 m is formed along the glove opening 11 an adhesive tape is arranged, which is removable for the purpose of exposing and opening the glove opening 11 and which extends essentially transversely to the direction of insertion of the hand and here over the entire width of the glove opening 11 (see FIGS. 1 and 2).

The congruent plastic foils 6, 7 connected to one another at the lateral edge areas 8 by welding or by sealing also have, in some areas, a sealing seam 17 running at a distance from the edge areas 8 and / or from the folded edge 14, in the first exemplary embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 m shape of a mitten.

As FIG. 1 shows, a large number of disposable or disposable gloves 5 are provided next to one another in the longitudinal direction 13 of the plastic web, which are passed through in each case a line-shaped perforation 18 running essentially at right angles to the longitudinal direction 13 is easily separable, but is still connected to one another.

As can also be seen from FIGS. 1 to 3, two carrier strips 23a, 23b arranged parallel to one another are provided on the outside 9 of the glove 5. These carrier tapes 23a, 23b have a stabilizing function, to the extent that the gloves are unrolled 5 m in the longitudinal direction 13 (cf. FIGS. 1 and 2) and dispensed individually by means of a dispensing device; on the other hand, the carrier tapes 23a, 23b can also be used as a holder for the glove 5, specifically in a manner that is essential to the invention, such that the carrier tape 23 or the carrier tapes 23a, 23b are provided instead of the plastic film 6 forming the outside 9.

In the latter case, the hand of the user is inserted between the carrier tapes 23a, 23b and the plastic film 7 forming the inside 10, that is to say the carrier tapes 23a, 23b then act as holding tapes which are pulled over the back of the hand.

In the second exemplary embodiment alternative to FIGS. 1 to 3, in contrast to the first exemplary embodiment, in which the gloves 5 are arranged transversely next to one another, the gloves 50 are arranged one behind the other in the longitudinal direction 13. The upper side of the glove 50 adjacent to the fingertips is provided with a sealing seam 8 running transversely to the longitudinal direction 13 Mistake. Parallel to this sealing seam 8, but on the side facing away from the upper side of the glove 50, a lien-shaped perforation 18 is provided which forms the glove opening 11 when it is separated.

As can be seen from FIG. 4, the sealing seam 17 of the glove has a 50 m plan view on both sides of the finger area 30 (defined by the little finger, ring finger, middle finger and index finger) each has a thumb section 51 that serves to hold a thumb and thus one to a certain extent with respect to the longitudinal direction 13 mirror-symmetric glove 50.

As can also be seen from the illustration in FIG. 4, in the region of the glove opening 11, a band 40 is attached which extends transversely to the direction of insertion of the hand. This band 40, which extends over almost the entire width of the glove 50 and is opaque, is used to fix the plastic film 6 in the area of the glove opening 11 on the plastic film 7 in order to ensure that the glove 50 is stable and in particular liquid-tight until the glove 50 is used to ensure the glove opening 11 and consequently to ensure that the liquid with which the outer layer 12 of the glove 50 is impregnated does not penetrate the interior of the glove 50 through the glove opening 11 m during storage of the gloves 50 in a rolled state.

Furthermore, it can be seen from FIG. 4 that in the region of the glove opening 11 an arresting fastener with a fixing or fastening tape 19 extending transversely to the direction of insertion of the hand is provided. This fixing or fastening tape 19 is formed with the tape 40 uniformly, that is to say in one piece and in an integrated form (cf. FIG. 4), which is associated with an additional saving in material, since it is the case both for the tape 40 and for the fixing or Closure tape 19 required material is provided by the plastic film 7 anyway and would otherwise only be waste.

The fixing or fastening tape 19 has two ends 19a, 19b, one end 19a being provided on the left side of the glove opening 11 in FIG. 4 and the other end 19b being provided on the right side of the opening 11 of the FIG.

With the provision of this fixing or fastening tape 19, which is arranged in the area of the so-called "cuff" of the glove 50 and with which the glove opening 11 can be closed after inserting the hand m, the glove 50 is, on the one hand, not associated with any additional material expenditure, because that material required for the fixing or fastening tape 19 is made available through the plastic films 6 and 7 anyway and would otherwise only be waste; on the other hand, the provision of the fixing or closure band 19 and the resulting closure function in the area of the glove opening 11 prevents the hand from slipping out of the glove 50, since the gauntlet area, which otherwise tends to flutter around uncontrollably and, in extreme cases, tends to tear unintentionally, that is, the area of the glove opening 11 can be fixed and closed by the fixing or fastening tape 19. In the special embodiment of FIG. 4, one end 19a is now provided on the left side of the glove opening 11 in FIG. 4 and the other end 19b is provided on the right side of the glove opening 11 in FIG.

A particularly good closing action with regard to the glove opening 11 can be achieved in that the one end 19a can be turned over to the other end 19b and that the two ends 19a, 19b can be detachably fastened to one another by means of two adhesive strips which are initially protected from contamination by siliconized covers.

In addition, FIG. 5 shows in cross section that on the side of the glove 50 opposite the electrostatically chargeable and provided with a disinfectant additive on the two congruent plastic films 6, 7, another congruent plastic film 20 with a further sealing seam 21, which has a larger area than the sealing seam 17 includes, but runs parallel to it to a certain extent, is applied. This results in a further glove produced in one operation with a glove opening 52, this glove being larger than the glove formed only by the two congruent plastic films 6, 7

In order to make the glove 50 more dimensionally stable, smd outside the area of the sealing seam 17 (cf. the first exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 1 to 3) or outside the further sealing seam 21 (cf. second exemplary embodiment according to FIGS. 4 and 5) stabilizing connections 22 are provided, which in the second exemplary embodiment shown are designed as sealing seams.

Thus, the area of the parts which are rectangular along the perforation 18 and which are to be separated along the perforation 18, outside the actual glove 5 or 50, is stable and does not interfere with the use of the glove 5 or 50.

In the third exemplary embodiment of a glove 5 (cf. FIG. 6: top view; cf. FIG. 7: representation along the section line VII-VII from FIG. 6), the plastic films 6, 7 not only at the lateral edge areas but also at the glove opening 11 associated edge regions firmly and essentially liquid-tightly connected to one another by sealing.

Since the absorbent outer layer 12 applied to the inside 10 on the outside is sprayed with a washing liquid, the glove opening 11 is closed essentially liquid-tight and can be opened when the glove 5 is used, that is to say for the purpose of using the glove 5.

In order to allow access to the inside of the glove 5 when the glove 5 is put into use, in the region of the glove opening 11 a sealing strip is made which extends transversely to the direction of insertion of the hand and before sealing the plastic film 6, the plastic film 7 and the outer layer 12 The predetermined tear line 60 is provided on the plastic film 6 having the outside 9 (see Figure 7).

This predetermined tear line 60 is closer to the finger region 30 than the fixed and essentially liquid-tight connection of the plastic films 6, 7 arranged in the edge regions assigned to the glove opening 11 (see FIG. 6), the glove opening 11 being opened along the predetermined tear line 60. By opening this predetermined tear line 60, the hand can thus be inserted into the interior of the glove 5 in the insertion direction.

As can also be seen in FIG. 6, the predetermined tear line 60 extends through the

Sealing seam defined width of the glove 5 in order to have the most complete access to the inside of the glove

To enable glove 5. For the sake of easy handling of the predetermined tear line 60, a linear course is chosen for this.

In the fourth exemplary embodiment of a glove 5 (cf. FIG. 8: top view; cf. FIG. 9: representation along the section line IX-IX from FIG. 8), the plastic films 6, 7 not only in the lateral edge areas, but also in those of the glove opening 11 associated edge regions firmly and essentially liquid-tightly connected to one another by sealing.

Since the absorbent outer layer 12 applied to the inside 10 on the outside is sprayed with a washing liquid, the glove opening 11 is closed essentially liquid-tight and can be opened when the glove 5 is used, that is to say for the purpose of using the glove 5. In order to enable access to the inside of the glove 5 when the glove 5 is put into use, in the region of the glove opening 11 there is a predetermined tear line 70, which is made transversely to the direction of insertion of the hand, and is made by Randein on the plastic film 6 which has the outside 9 and which is the inside Provided 10 plastic film 7 and the outer layer 12 (see FIG. 9).

This predetermined tear line 70 is closer to the finger area 30 than the fixed and essentially liquid-tight connection of the plastic films 6, 7 arranged in the edge regions associated with the glove opening 11 (see FIG. 8), the glove opening 11 being open along the predetermined tear line 70.

By providing this "continuous", that is to say all the layers (= plastic film 6, plastic film 7, outer layer 12) of the glove 5 which congruently register the predetermined tear line 70 (cf. FIG. 9), access to the glove opening 11 can be achieved by separating the section assigned to the glove opening 11 of the glove 5 along the predetermined tear line 70 can be accomplished in a problem-free manner when the glove 5 is put into use.

As can also be seen in FIG. 8, the predetermined tear line 70 extends over the entire width of the glove 5 in order to allow complete access to the interior of the glove 5 and to separate the section of the glove 5 assigned to the glove opening 11 along the predetermined tear line 70 , For the sake of easy handling of the predetermined tear line 70, this is more imien-shaped Selected course.

In the fifth exemplary embodiment of a glove 5 (cf. FIG. 10: side sectional view), a reclosable closure means 80 is arranged along the glove opening 11, which extends transversely to the direction of insertion of the hand and over the entire width of the glove opening 11.

This closure means 80 is - like the plastic films 6, 7 - made of plastic in the form of a so-called "Mmi-Gπp" system, in which the closure means 80 on the inside of a plastic film 6 em band 810 and on the inside of the other plastic film 7 has a groove-shaped receptacle 820 associated with the band 810 for the band 810. This closure means 80 m in the form of a so-called "Mmi-Gπp" system can easily withstand repeated use.

In the sixth exemplary embodiment of a glove 5 (see FIG. 11: a sectional side view), the adhesive 90, which extends essentially transversely to the direction of insertion of the hand, is in the region of the glove opening 11 between the plastic film 6 having the outside 9 and the plastic film 7 having the inside 10 provided by adhesive which extends over the substantially entire width of the glove 5 and also acts as a closure means.

In order to save space and thus packaging material and storage space, the gloves 5 according to the sixth exemplary embodiment (cf. FIG. 11) as well as the five described above Embodiments according to Figures 1 to 10 - stored in the folded, rolled and / or stacked state.

Here, the adhesion promoter 90 reliably prevents the liquid with which the outer layer 12 of the glove 5 is impregnated from penetrating into the interior of the glove 5 through the glove opening 11, which would be undesirable, not least from a hygiene point of view.
