Definitions
- the invention relates to a protective glove against contamination of various origins such as viral, bacteriological, chemical, radiological or other contamination, making it possible to avoid a transfer of contamination during the handling of contaminated objects or sterile, between the user and the object handled.
- one solution consists in using a multifunction tool interposed between the user and the object to be handled.
- the tool is then held by the user who actuates it to ensure gripping of the object to be manipulated, which makes it possible to provide protection because the tool is interposed between the user and the object.
- Such a tool nevertheless offers insufficient ergonomics for carrying out tasks requiring manipulation of small objects. For example, it makes it difficult to handle an opening or a handle, and does not make it possible to handle keys, change, or even to write with a pen.
- Another solution consists in using a disposable glove forming a barrier, in order to have sufficient dexterity to handle a pen, for example, in order to take notes.
- the object of the invention is to provide a solution for handling objects without the risk of contamination transfer.
- the subject of the invention is a protection system comprising a glove having a wrist extended by a body terminated by fingers, and an envelope comprising a base extended by a body terminated by one end, the glove defining a sealed enclosure , the envelope delimiting a sealed enclosure, the system being able to occupy a containment configuration in which the envelope surrounds the deployed glove and in which the wrist of the glove is connected in a sealed manner to the base of the envelope, and a configuration of use in which the body and the fingers of the deployed glove are disengaged from the envelope.
- the system makes it possible to handle and transport objects, and it does not require having a specific container such as a dedicated garbage bag, since the envelope alone ensures the confinement of the glove. It also allows its reuse as needed without risk of contamination.
- the invention also relates to a system thus defined, in which the wrist of the glove is continuously connected in a sealed manner to the base of the envelope, in which the end of the envelope is equipped with a closure, and in which in the configuration of use, the closure of the end is open and the envelope surrounds the wrist of the glove.
- the invention also relates to a system thus defined, in which the glove is equipped with a closure of its wrist.
- the invention also relates to a system thus defined, comprising a closure of the end of the envelope and/or of the wrist which is of the zipper type.
- the invention also relates to a system thus defined, comprising detachable means for connecting the wrist of the glove with the base of the casing, these means ensuring a leaktight connection, and in which, in the configuration of use, the wrist of the glove is detached from the base of the envelope with the whole of the envelope so that the glove is completely freed from the envelope.
- the invention also relates to a system thus defined, in which the detachable means comprise a base terminating the wrist of the glove and a collar terminating the base of the envelope.
- the invention also relates to a system thus defined, in which the collar and/or the base is formed by a central ring and a peripheral ring surrounding the central ring to grip the wrist of the glove and/or the base of the glove. envelope on the central ring.
- the invention also relates to a system thus defined, in which the collar and the base are magnetic elements for connecting by pressing against each other by magnetic effect.
- the invention also relates to a system thus defined, in which the envelope has the shape of a sachet, a mitt, or an overglove.
- the basic idea of the invention is to provide a system comprising a glove associated with an envelope in which this glove can be confined, the glove and the envelope both offering sufficient sealing to constitute a barrier to contamination.
- the envelope protects the glove after use to prevent any contamination between this glove and the surrounding environment.
- a glove 1 is surrounded by an envelope 2, the glove 1 and the envelope 2 being both formed from a material forming a barrier to viral, bacteriological, chemical, radiological or other contamination depending on the desired application.
- This glove 1 comprises a wrist 3 extended by a body 4 terminated by five fingers 6-10.
- the envelope 2 comprises a base 12 by which it is connected to the wrist 3, this base 12 being extended by a body 13 which is terminated by an end 14 equipped with a closure 16.
- the wrist 3 is also equipped with a closure identified by 17 and making it possible to increase the degree of confinement when it is closed.
- the closures 16 and 17 are, for example, zipper type closures.
- the envelope 2 surrounds the glove 1, and its end 14 is closed by the closure 16, so that the contamination that may be present on the outer surface of the glove is isolated from the environment by the envelope 2.
- the contamination is confined in the space located between the glove 1 and the envelope 2 which surrounds it.
- the envelope has dimensions greater than those of the glove so as to surround the entire glove in its deployed state.
- the use of the glove by an operator consists initially in opening the closure 17 of the wrist 3 and in engaging his hand, marked with 18, in the wrist 3 to slide it into the glove 1, each finger of the hand 18 s 'engaging in a corresponding finger 6-10 of the glove 1, which corresponds to the situation of the figure 2 .
- the operator opens the end 14 of the casing 2 by actuating the closure 16 to engage his hand 18 wearing the glove 1 through this end. He then slides his hand through the open closure 16 until he brings this closure 16 around the wrist 3, which corresponds to the situation of the picture 3 .
- the envelope 2 is then folded like an accordion around the wrist 3 extending between the closure 17 and the closure 16, both open, which are then substantially one against the other.
- the outer surface of the glove 1 is then completely exposed, which allows the operator to grasp and handle an object that may be contaminated, while having his hand protected from this contamination by the glove 1 that he is wearing.
- the operator uses his second hand to deploy the envelope 2 by sliding the closure 16 around the glove 1 towards the fingers so as to arrive again at the situation of the figure 2 after having closed the closure 16.
- the operator releases his first hand 18 from the glove 1 which is then bagged in the closed envelope 2, so as to arrive at the situation of the figure 1 in which any contamination present on the outer face of the glove 1 is confined in the envelope 2.
- the system can also be used to bag a sterile object in the envelope.
- the envelope 2 has its free end 14 which is closed and its base 12 and it is extended by a collar 19 for connection to the wrist so as to make the envelope 2 detachable from the glove 1.
- the envelope has dimensions greater than that of the glove so as to be able to surround the entire glove in its deployed state.
- the cuff 3 is equipped with a base 21 capable of being coupled in leaktight manner to the collar 19 so as to connect the base 12 of the casing 2 with the cuff 3 of the glove.
- the collar 19 is for example a rigid ring continuously attached to the base 12 to delimit the opening of the casing 2 with reversible fixing means to the base 21.
- the base 21 is for example also formed of a rigid or flexible ring which is continuously secured to the wrist 3 to delimit the opening of the glove 1, and it comprises complementary fastening means allowing its reversible fastening to the collar 19.
- the fixing of the collar 19 to the base 21 can be ensured by constituting these two elements in the form of magnetic rings capable of sticking to one another when they are brought together.
- Other fastening means can be used, such as for example staples or the like carried by one and/or the other of these elements.
- the casing 2 also has the shape of a muffle. More particularly, this envelope also comprises a base 12 extended by a body 13 terminated by a closed end 14 which is opposite the base 12.
- the body 13 of the envelope 2 is here extended laterally by a protrusion 22 receiving the thumb 6 of the glove 1, the fingers 7-10 of the glove 1 being housed in the end 14, when this envelope 2 surrounds the glove 1.
- the envelope 2 constitutes a mitten, so that when the user places his hand 18 inside the glove 1 by sliding it into the wrist 3 through the base 21, he can use his thumb to perform manipulations without first removing the envelope 2.
- the hand 18 of the user is located in the glove 1, so that he has significant dexterity with each of his fingers to manipulate an object, such as for example a pen to take notes on a suitable medium.
- the casing 2 has the shape of a muffle, but the same solution can be implemented by using a simple casing, that is to say having the general shape of the casing of the figures 1 to 3 but whose end 14 is continuously closed instead of being equipped with a closure member 16.
- the envelope 2 which has the shape of a muffle in the example of the figures 4-6 , can also be an envelope having the shape of an overglove, that is to say a glove surrounding each of the fingers 6-10, so as to offer the user greater dexterity for the phase during which he has engaged his hand 18 in glove 1 before removing the envelope 2 surrounding this glove 1.
- the envelope 2 has the shape of a sachet as in the case of figures 1 to 3 , or a form of muffle as in the example of the figures 4 to 6 , or a form of overglove.
- the envelope makes it possible, as indicated above, to confine a contaminated or sterile object having an appropriate size, between the glove and the envelope which surrounds it.
- the variant of the invention shown in the figures 4 to 6 allows a user to equip his second hand with another glove without risk of contamination transfer.
- the procedure for putting on and taking off a glove on each hand corresponds to the following operations.
- the operator uses his second hand to place the assembly on his first hand by engaging this first hand in the first glove surrounded by the envelope. .
- the operator can preferably use a second sterile (or new) glove, given that the second glove contained in the envelope can be considered to be contaminated, in particular if it does not include a closure at the level of its wrist.
- the base 21 fitted to the wrist 3 of the glove 1 is advantageously formed with a central ring 23 and a peripheral ring 24 making it possible to enclose the end of the wrist 3 of the glove.
- the central ring 23 which here is cylindrical, has an internal perimeter substantially greater than the perimeter of the wrist 3, which makes it possible to engage the wrist 3 of the glove 1 inside this ring 23, as illustrated in the figure 7 .
- the end 26 of this wrist 3 can then be folded around the outer face of the ring 23, which corresponds to the situation illustrated on the figure 8 , the central ring 23 then equipping the wrist 3 without yet being attached to the latter.
- the peripheral ring 24 has an internal diameter slightly smaller than the external diameter of the central ring 23, and it is made of a sufficiently elastic material to allow it to be deformed so that its internal diameter becomes at least slightly greater than the external diameter of the ring 23 increased by twice the thickness of the end 26.
- the peripheral ring 24 can be passed around the assembly formed by the central ring 23 around which the end 26 of the wrist 3 is folded, so as to firmly enclose this end 26.
- the central ring 23 forms with the end 26 of the wrist 3 enclosed by the peripheral ring 24 an integral whole constituting the base 21 fitted to the glove 1.
- the collar 19 fitted to the base 12 of the envelope 2 is advantageously of the same type as the base 21, that is to say also formed of a central ring and a peripheral ring enclosing the base 12 of the envelope 2 against the outer face of this central ring.
- the rings are advantageously equipped with fastening means making it possible to ensure the reversible fastening of the collar 19 with the base 21.
- the central and/or peripheral rings forming the collar and the base can be formed in magnetic materials thus making it possible to secure the collar to the base by keeping them pressed against each other by magnetic attraction.
- the outer ring which appears as a rigid element on the figure 9 can be reduced to a simple elastic, fasteners then being carried by the central rings.
- the recovery of a base 21 fitted to a glove 1 then consists in positioning the assembly formed by the envelope 2 with its collar 19, this envelope containing the glove 1 which is equipped with the base 21 formed of the rings 23 and 24, without engaging his hand in the set.
- the peripheral ring 24 of the base 21 can then be removed from this base 21 to release the glove 1, the wrist 3 of which can be sealed for example with a knot or pliers, before pulling this glove towards the bottom of the envelope 2.
- the central ring 23 of the glove 1 can then be detached from the collar 19 of the envelope 2, and be joined with the peripheral ring 24 to form a base 21 that can be reused.
- the recovery of the collar 19 fitted to the casing 2 then consists in removing the peripheral ring of this collar 19, sealing the base of the casing protruding from the central ring of the collar 19, for example with a knot, and removing the envelope from this central ring.
- the central ring can then be joined with the peripheral ring to form the collar 19 which can be reused.
- the material of the glove and of the envelope is easily adaptable to the intended application, this material possibly being for example butyl, vinyl, latex or other similar material. More generally, the material of the glove and of the envelope is of the impermeable type, in particular to water, so that both the glove and the envelope delimit a sealed enclosure.
- the envelope is advantageously equipped with a filtration system making it possible to expel air from it when it is closed while ensuring confinement inside this envelope.
- the invention applies to all operations requiring protection against transfer of contamination by the hands.
- the system makes it possible to handle and transport small objects safely. It allows samples to be taken without contamination, and can be easily folded and stored in a pocket. It is reusable and does not require a specific container such as a dedicated trash bag.

Description
L'invention concerne un gant de protection vis-à-vis des contaminations d'origines diverses telles que les contaminations virales, bactériologiques, chimiques, radiologiques ou autres, permettant d'éviter un transfert de contamination lors de la manipulation d'objets contaminés ou stériles, entre l'utilisateur et l'objet manipulé.The invention relates to a protective glove against contamination of various origins such as viral, bacteriological, chemical, radiological or other contamination, making it possible to avoid a transfer of contamination during the handling of contaminated objects or sterile, between the user and the object handled.
Dans le domaine de la protection vis-à-vis des contaminations, une solution consiste à utiliser un outil multifonctions interposé entre l'utilisateur et l'objet à manipuler. L'outil est alors tenu par l'utilisateur qui l'actionne pour assurer la préhension de l'objet à manipuler, ce qui permet d'assurer une protection du fait que l'outil est interposé entre l'utilisateur et l'objet.In the field of protection against contamination, one solution consists in using a multifunction tool interposed between the user and the object to be handled. The tool is then held by the user who actuates it to ensure gripping of the object to be manipulated, which makes it possible to provide protection because the tool is interposed between the user and the object.
Un tel outil offre néanmoins une ergonomie insuffisante pour exécuter des tâches nécessitant de manipuler de petits objets. Par exemple, il permet difficilement de manipuler un ouvrant ou une poignée, et ne permet pas de manipuler des clés, de la monnaie, ou encore d'écrire avec un stylo.Such a tool nevertheless offers insufficient ergonomics for carrying out tasks requiring manipulation of small objects. For example, it makes it difficult to handle an opening or a handle, and does not make it possible to handle keys, change, or even to write with a pen.
Une autre solution consiste à utiliser un gant à usage unique formant barrière, afin de disposer d'une dextérité suffisante pour par exemple manipuler un stylo afin de prendre des notes.Another solution consists in using a disposable glove forming a barrier, in order to have sufficient dexterity to handle a pen, for example, in order to take notes.
Néanmoins, comme le gant est alors en contact direct avec la contamination, celui-ci doit après usage être placé dans un conteneur approprié, afin de confiner la contamination. Ainsi, l'utilisation de gants à usage unique n'est finalement pas réellement pratique du fait qu'elle nécessite la présence d'un conteneur approprié, tel qu'une poubelle spécifique, pour pouvoir confiner le gant après usage.Nevertheless, as the glove is then in direct contact with the contamination, it must after use be placed in an appropriate container, in order to confine the contamination. Thus, the use of single-use gloves is ultimately not really practical because it requires the presence of an appropriate container, such as a specific bin, in order to be able to confine the glove after use.
Le but de l'invention est d'apporter une solution pour manipuler des objets sans risque de transfert de contamination.The object of the invention is to provide a solution for handling objects without the risk of contamination transfer.
A cet effet, l'invention a pour objet un système de protection comprenant un gant ayant un poignet prolongé par un corps terminé par des doigts, et une enveloppe comprenant une base prolongée par un corps terminé par une extrémité, le gant délimitant une enceinte étanche, l'enveloppe délimitant une enceinte étanche, le système pouvant occuper une configuration de confinement dans laquelle l'enveloppe entoure le gant déployé et dans laquelle le poignet du gant est raccordé de façon étanche à la base de l'enveloppe, et une configuration d'utilisation dans laquelle le corps et les doigts du gant déployé sont dégagés de l'enveloppe.To this end, the subject of the invention is a protection system comprising a glove having a wrist extended by a body terminated by fingers, and an envelope comprising a base extended by a body terminated by one end, the glove defining a sealed enclosure , the envelope delimiting a sealed enclosure, the system being able to occupy a containment configuration in which the envelope surrounds the deployed glove and in which the wrist of the glove is connected in a sealed manner to the base of the envelope, and a configuration of use in which the body and the fingers of the deployed glove are disengaged from the envelope.
Avec cet agencement, le système permet de manipuler et de transporter des objets, et il ne nécessite pas de disposer d'un conteneur spécifique tel qu'un sac poubelle dédié, puisque l'enveloppe assure à elle seule le confinement du gant. Il permet aussi sa réutilisation au besoin sans risque de contamination.With this arrangement, the system makes it possible to handle and transport objects, and it does not require having a specific container such as a dedicated garbage bag, since the envelope alone ensures the confinement of the glove. It also allows its reuse as needed without risk of contamination.
L'invention a également pour objet un système ainsi défini, dans lequel le poignet du gant est continuellement raccordé de façon étanche à la base de l'enveloppe, dans lequel l'extrémité de l'enveloppe est équipée d'une fermeture, et dans lequel en configuration d'utilisation, la fermeture de l'extrémité est ouverte et l'enveloppe entoure le poignet du gant.The invention also relates to a system thus defined, in which the wrist of the glove is continuously connected in a sealed manner to the base of the envelope, in which the end of the envelope is equipped with a closure, and in which in the configuration of use, the closure of the end is open and the envelope surrounds the wrist of the glove.
L'invention a également pour objet un système ainsi défini, dans lequel le gant est équipé d'une fermeture de son poignet.The invention also relates to a system thus defined, in which the glove is equipped with a closure of its wrist.
L'invention a également pour objet un système ainsi défini, comportant une fermeture de l'extrémité d'enveloppe et/ou du poignet qui est de type à glissière.The invention also relates to a system thus defined, comprising a closure of the end of the envelope and/or of the wrist which is of the zipper type.
L'invention a également pour objet un système ainsi défini, comportant des moyens désolidarisables de raccordement du poignet de gant avec la base de l'enveloppe, ces moyens assurant un raccordement étanche, et dans lequel en configuration d'utilisation, le poignet du gant est désolidarisé de la base de l'enveloppe avec l'ensemble de l'enveloppe pour que le gant soit entièrement libéré de l'enveloppe.The invention also relates to a system thus defined, comprising detachable means for connecting the wrist of the glove with the base of the casing, these means ensuring a leaktight connection, and in which, in the configuration of use, the wrist of the glove is detached from the base of the envelope with the whole of the envelope so that the glove is completely freed from the envelope.
L'invention a également pour objet un système ainsi défini, dans lequel les moyens désolidarisables comportent une embase terminant le poignet du gant et un collet terminant la base de l'enveloppe.The invention also relates to a system thus defined, in which the detachable means comprise a base terminating the wrist of the glove and a collar terminating the base of the envelope.
L'invention a également pour objet un système ainsi défini, dans lequel le collet et/ou l'embase est formé par un anneau central et un anneau périphérique entourant l'anneau central pour enserrer le poignet du gant et/ou la base de l'enveloppe sur l'anneau central.The invention also relates to a system thus defined, in which the collar and/or the base is formed by a central ring and a peripheral ring surrounding the central ring to grip the wrist of the glove and/or the base of the glove. envelope on the central ring.
L'invention a également pour objet un système ainsi défini, dans lequel le collet et l'embase sont des éléments aimantés pour se raccorder en se plaquant l'un à l'autre par effet magnétique.The invention also relates to a system thus defined, in which the collar and the base are magnetic elements for connecting by pressing against each other by magnetic effect.
L'invention a également pour objet un système ainsi défini, dans lequel l'enveloppe a une forme de sachet, de moufle, ou de surgant.The invention also relates to a system thus defined, in which the envelope has the shape of a sachet, a mitt, or an overglove.

Une fois cette opération réalisée, l'opérateur ouvre l'extrémité 14 de l'enveloppe 2 en actionnant la fermeture 16 pour engager sa main 18 portant le gant 1 à travers cette extrémité. Il fait alors glisser sa main à travers la fermeture 16 ouverte jusqu'à ramener cette fermeture 16 autour du poignet 3, ce qui correspond à la situation de la
A ce stade, et comme visible sur la
Une fois que l'opérateur a terminé de manipuler l'objet, il utilise sa deuxième main pour déployer l'enveloppe 2 en faisant glisser la fermeture 16 autour du gant 1 vers les doigts de façon à aboutir à nouveau à la situation de la
Comme on peut le comprendre, il est aussi possible, d'une façon analogue, de saisir avec le gant 1 un objet contaminé ayant une taille compatible avec celle de l'enveloppe 2 pour ensacher cet objet dans l'enveloppe 2 avec le gant 1. A l'inverse le système peut aussi être utilisé pour ensacher dans l'enveloppe un objet stérile.As can be understood, it is also possible, in a similar way, to seize with the glove 1 a contaminated object having a size compatible with that of the

Dans cette variante, le poignet 3 est équipé d'une embase 21 apte à s'accoupler de façon étanche au collet 19 de manière à raccorder la base 12 de l'enveloppe 2 avec le poignet 3 du gant.In this variant, the
Le collet 19 est par exemple un anneau rigide continuellement solidaire de la base 12 pour délimiter l'ouverture de l'enveloppe 2 avec des moyens de fixation réversibles à l'embase 21. L'embase 21 est par exemple elle aussi formée d'un anneau rigide ou bien flexible qui est continuellement solidaire du poignet 3 pour délimiter l'ouverture du gant 1, et elle comporte des moyens de fixation complémentaires permettant sa solidarisation réversible au collet 19.The
La fixation du collet 19 à l'embase 21 peut être assurée en constituant ces deux éléments sous forme d'anneaux aimantés aptes à se coller l'un à l'autre lorsqu'ils sont rapprochés l'un de l'autre. D'autres moyens de fixation sont utilisables, comme par exemple des agrafes ou analogues portés par l'un et/ou l'autre de ces éléments.The fixing of the

En pratique, une fois que l'utilisateur a placé sa main dans le gant 1 entouré par l'enveloppe 2 en forme de moufle, il retire ensuite cette enveloppe, par exemple en tirant son extrémité 14 avec sa main libre, pour désolidariser le collet 19 de l'embase 21 de manière à faire glisser l'enveloppe le long du gant 1.In practice, once the user has placed his hand in the
A ce stade, la main 18 de l'utilisateur est située dans le gant 1, de sorte qu'il dispose d'une dextérité importante de chacun de ses doigts pour manipuler un objet, tel que par exemple un stylo pour prendre des notes sur un support approprié.At this stage, the
Une fois que l'utilisateur a terminé ses manipulations, il peut alors replacer l'enveloppe 2 autour du gant 1 pour confiner la contamination présente à la face externe du gant, dans l'espace s'étendant entre le gant et l'enveloppe, cet espace étant hermétiquement fermé grâce à la solidarisation étanche du collet 19 à l'embase 21.Once the user has finished his manipulations, he can then replace the
Dans l'exemple des
Par ailleurs, l'enveloppe 2 qui a une forme de moufle dans l'exemple des
Ainsi, selon l'application envisagée, l'enveloppe 2 a une forme de sachet comme dans le cas des
La variante de l'invention représentée sur les
Dans ce cas, le mode opératoire pour mettre et retirer un gant à chaque main correspond aux opérations suivantes.In this case, the procedure for putting on and taking off a glove on each hand corresponds to the following operations.
Lorsqu'un premier gant propre est disponible, placer un premier gant équipé d'une embase 21 sur une première main, puis placer un autre gant propre sur la seconde main avec ou sans son embase 21 en utilisant la première main gantée, puis réaliser les manipulations sur les objets pouvant être contaminés.When a first clean glove is available, place a first glove equipped with a base 21 on a first hand, then place another clean glove on the second hand with or without its
Une fois les manipulations terminées, retirées le second gant de la seconde main en le tenant avec la première main équipée du premier gant. Puis avec la seconde main, positionner l'enveloppe équipée du collet 19 autour de la première main équipée du premier gant et qui tient également le second gant souillé, et raccorder l'embase 21 au collet 19 en utilisant la seconde main.Once the manipulations are finished, remove the second glove from the second hand by holding it with the first hand equipped with the first glove. Then with the second hand, position the envelope equipped with the
Retirer l'ensemble formé par l'enveloppe entourant le premier gant et le second gant, en utilisant la seconde main. Le premier gant souillé est alors entièrement entouré par l'enveloppe, et le second gant souillé est entièrement confiné dans l'espace délimité par le premier gant et l'enveloppe avec éventuellement un objet à confiner.Remove the assembly formed by the envelope surrounding the first glove and the second glove, using the second hand. The first soiled glove is then entirely surrounded by the envelope, and the second soiled glove is entirely confined in the space delimited by the first glove and the envelope with possibly an object to be confined.
Pour réutiliser l'ensemble formé par le premier gant et le deuxième gant confinés dans l'enveloppe, l'opérateur utilise sa seconde main pour placer l'ensemble sur sa première main en engageant cette première main dans le premier gant entouré par l'enveloppe.To reuse the assembly formed by the first glove and the second glove confined in the envelope, the operator uses his second hand to place the assembly on his first hand by engaging this first hand in the first glove surrounded by the envelope. .
Il utilise ensuite sa seconde main pour retirer l'enveloppe, avant d'utiliser sa première main gantée pour placer sur sa seconde main le second gant qui était également contenu dans l'enveloppe. A ce stade, l'opérateur a ses deux mains gantées, de sorte qu'il peut manipuler les objets susceptibles d'être contaminés. Le retrait de l'ensemble se fait alors comme expliqué plus haut.He then uses his second hand to remove the envelope, before using his first gloved hand to place on his second hand the second glove which was also contained within the envelope. At this stage, the operator has both gloved hands, so that he can handle objects likely to be contaminated. The assembly is then removed as explained above.
Selon la situation, l'opérateur peut préférentiellement utiliser un second gant stérile (ou neuf), attendu que le second gant contenu dans l'enveloppe peut être considéré comme étant contaminé, en particulier s'il ne comporte pas de fermeture au niveau de son poignet.Depending on the situation, the operator can preferably use a second sterile (or new) glove, given that the second glove contained in the envelope can be considered to be contaminated, in particular if it does not include a closure at the level of its wrist.

L'extrémité 26 de ce poignet 3 peut ensuite être rabattue autour de la face externe de l'anneau 23, ce qui correspond à la situation illustrée sur la
L'anneau périphérique 24 présente un diamètre interne légèrement inférieur au diamètre externe de l'anneau central 23, et il est fabriqué dans un matériau suffisamment élastique pour permettre de le déformer afin que son diamètre interne devienne au moins légèrement supérieur au diamètre externe de l'anneau 23 augmenté de deux fois l'épaisseur de l'extrémité 26.The

Le collet 19 équipant la base 12 de l'enveloppe 2 est avantageusement du même type que l'embase 21, c'est-à-dire formé lui aussi d'un anneau central et d'un anneau périphérique enserrant la base 12 de l'enveloppe 2 contre la face externe de cet anneau central.The
Les anneaux sont avantageusement équipés de moyens de solidarisation permettant d'assurer la solidarisation réversible du collet 19 avec l'embase 21. Dans ce cadre, les anneaux centraux et/ou périphériques formant le collet et l'embase peuvent être formés dans des matériaux aimantés permettant ainsi de solidariser le collet à l'embase en les maintenant plaqués l'un à l'autre par attraction magnétique.The rings are advantageously equipped with fastening means making it possible to ensure the reversible fastening of the

La récupération d'une embase 21 équipant un gant 1 consiste alors à positionner l'ensemble formé par l'enveloppe 2 avec son collet 19, cette enveloppe contenant le gant 1 qui est équipé de l'embase 21 formée des anneaux 23 et 24, sans engager sa main dans l'ensemble. L'anneau périphérique 24 de l'embase 21 peut alors être retiré de cette embase 21 pour libérer le gant 1 dont le poignet 3 peut être scellé par exemple avec un nœud ou une pince, avant de tirer ce gant vers le fond de l'enveloppe 2. L'anneau central 23 du gant 1 peut alors être désolidarisé du collet 19 de l'enveloppe 2, et être réuni avec l'anneau périphérique 24 pour constituer une embase 21 pouvant être réutilisée.The recovery of a base 21 fitted to a
De manière analogue, la récupération du collet 19 équipant l'enveloppe 2 consiste alors à retirer l'anneau périphérique de ce collet 19, sceller la base de l'enveloppe dépassant de l'anneau central du collet 19, par exemple avec un nœud, et à retirer l'enveloppe de cet anneau central. L'anneau central peut alors être réuni avec l'anneau périphérique pour constituer le collet 19 pouvant être réutilisé.Similarly, the recovery of the
Comme le montre la description qui en a été faite, tous les éléments constituant le système selon l'invention sont simples, de sorte que sa fabrication industrielle peut être assurée pour un coût modique. Le matériau du gant et de l'enveloppe est facilement adaptable à l'application envisagée, ce matériau pouvant être par exemple du butyle, du vinyle, du latex ou autre matériau analogue. D'une façon plus générale, le matériau du gant et de l'enveloppe est de type étanche, notamment à l'eau, pour que le gant tout autant que l'enveloppe délimitent l'un et l'autre une enceinte étanche.As shown in the description which has been made of it, all the elements constituting the system according to the invention are simple, so that its industrial manufacture can be ensured at low cost. The material of the glove and of the envelope is easily adaptable to the intended application, this material possibly being for example butyl, vinyl, latex or other similar material. More generally, the material of the glove and of the envelope is of the impermeable type, in particular to water, so that both the glove and the envelope delimit a sealed enclosure.
Par ailleurs, les procédures qui ont été décrites sont fournies à titre indicatif, celles-ci pouvant être adaptées selon le besoin. Il est par exemple aussi possible de décontaminer le gant 1 avant de l'ensacher dans l'enveloppe 2, en utilisant une lingette imbibée pouvant être présente dans l'enveloppe, cette lingette pouvant préalablement être imbibée d'un désinfectant.Furthermore, the procedures that have been described are provided for information only, they can be adapted as needed. It is for example also possible to decontaminate the
Complémentairement, l'enveloppe est avantageusement équipée d'un système de filtration permettant d'en chasser l'air lors de sa fermeture tout en assurant le confinement à l'intérieur de cette enveloppe.Additionally, the envelope is advantageously equipped with a filtration system making it possible to expel air from it when it is closed while ensuring confinement inside this envelope.
D'une manière générale, l'invention s'applique à toutes les opérations nécessitant une protection contre un transfert de contamination par les mains. Le système permet de manipuler et de transporter des petits objets en sécurité. Il permet la réalisation de prélèvements sans contamination, et peut être facilement plié et rangé dans une poche. Il est réutilisable et ne nécessite pas un contenant spécifique tel qu'un sac poubelle dédié.In general, the invention applies to all operations requiring protection against transfer of contamination by the hands. The system makes it possible to handle and transport small objects safely. It allows samples to be taken without contamination, and can be easily folded and stored in a pocket. It is reusable and does not require a specific container such as a dedicated trash bag.
