  In the invention of the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-203, the protrusion must be inserted accurately between the hand and the insertion opening of the glove attached to the hand so that the surface of the protruding glove does not come in contact, and it takes time to remove it. There was a problem that it may take.

  If the surface of the glove touches the protrusion, blood that has a risk of infection adheres to the protrusion, and the protrusion is inserted between the hand and the glove insertion slot attached to the hand. There was a problem that the risk of infection increased on the contrary.

  Further, when the glove is detached, blood or the like attached to the surface of the glove scatters and adheres to the hand from which the glove has been detached, and the risk of infection cannot be sufficiently suppressed.

  In addition, when fluid is ejected from the protrusion while the detached glove remains in the housing part, blood on the surface of the detached glove scatters and adheres to the detached hand, and the risk of infection cannot be sufficiently suppressed. there were.

  If the glove that has been detached from the container is collected every time the glove is detached, blood on the surface of the detached glove can be prevented from scattering, but there is also a problem that the working efficiency is lowered.

  In addition, when a hole is opened in the glove during work, there is also a problem that the glove cannot be removed.

  Outside of the medical field, there was a problem that work efficiency was lowered by taking time to remove the disposable gloves.

  In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a glove removing device that can easily remove a glove from a worn hand and can sufficiently suppress the risk of infection.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, a glove removing device according to claim 1 is provided with a fluid ejecting means for ejecting fluid into an glove from an opening of a glove attached to a hand, and a glove that sucks the glove and is detached from the hand.
