Definitions

  • Embodiments according to the present invention generally relate to packaging and, more particularly, to a glove dispenser having a plurality of openings for ingress and egress of gloves whether the glove dispenser is oriented vertically or horizontally.
  • Gloves have become commonplace in modern industry, and particularly in health care and/or food processing sectors. Workers in these industries are commonly required to wear gloves while performing work duties. Workers often use vinyl, polyethylene, polychloroprene, synthetic polyisoprene or natural rubber gloves, for only a few moments, which are often removed and discarded, leading to the consumption of a large number of gloves in a single work shift by a single user.
  • Gloves are often packaged in boxes, which are placed into box containers mounted on walls. However, the gloves may then be in fewer and/or remote locations rather than where needed. Furthermore, the boxes mounted on walls must be customized to specific sized containers, which are often of different sizes and have differently sized openings. Moreover, gloves are longer than they are wide and are often packaged as such, further limiting the size of containers into which they are placed, creating a situation in which many different sized boxes must be accommodated, for example, in the inventories of suppliers and purchasers.
  • a glove dispenser that is versatile and space saving, allowing gloves of different sizes, which are optionally folded and packaged in separate packaging, to be removed and replaced while the glove dispenser is oriented in one of multiple orientations, optionally, stacked with other glove dispensers, is a useful advance in the art.
  • a universal glove dispenser in accordance with embodiments of the present invention, substantially as shown in and/or described in connection with at least one of the figures, as set forth more completely in the claims, are disclosed.
  • Various advantages, aspects, and novel features of the present disclosure, as well as details of an exemplary embodiment thereof, will be more fully understood from the following description and drawings.

  • Medical examination and/or surgical gloves are often packaged individually or in pairs in paper or blister packaging, so that they remain anti-septic.
  • the packaging 200 is substantially square-shaped for housing one or more gloves, and comprises a polymeric material, for example, polyethylene, and at least one exemplary embodiment comprises high-density polyethylene (HDPE). HDPE is a suitable material because it is easily recycled. Also, square shapes allow for a small packaging 200 and a reduced surface area, leading to less waste of the packaging 200 as well as more volume inside the internal chamber of the glove dispenser (as discussed above).
  • the gloves, folded into a substantially square shape and placed into the packaging 200 therefore, can be removed from various openings or apertures from different orientations, unlike when gloves are unfolded.
  • a square packaging can be housed in the glove dispenser 100 and be removed easily from the large aperture discussed above, and placed back into the slotted aperture, as described above, while gravity allows gloves replaced therein to fall into position for removal again when the glove dispenser (not shown) is in the vertical orientation, which would not be true of longer rectangular packaging, i.e., longer than a lateral width.
  • gloves inside the packaging 200 can be stored and/or oriented in the same direction at all times and a user can still remove the gloves even if the glove dispenser was oriented in the horizontal orientation, as described above.
  • FIG. 3B depicts a perspective view of a glove 210 , according to embodiments of the invention.
  • the glove 210 has a length L and a width W and is folded, so that the interior 216 (for receiving a hand) of the glove 210 of an inside surface 214 of a cuff 212 is turned inside out, which allows the wearer to don the glove easier and maintain a sterile glove, i.e., because a cuff of the glove is inside out, a user grips or contacts only the surface of the glove that will contact the user's own skin when worn (and not an exterior surface of a glove), leading to a more anti-septic condition.
  • the length L and the width W of the glove 210 are approximately equal, allowing the glove 210 to be packed in the square packaging discussed above.
  • the glove 210 may be folded without turning it inside-out.

If the slotted aperture pull tab 106 a, the large aperture pull tab 108 a, and/or the glove opening tab 126 a are removed, the slotted aperture 106 , the large aperture 108 , and/or the three dimensional glove aperture 126 are created (as shown below with respect to the second glove dispenser 404 ), allowing the ingress and/or egress of the packaging 200 housed therein.
  • the second glove dispenser 404 comprises a front surface 104 disposed between the top portion 112 and the base portion 110 and further comprising the slotted aperture 106 , the large aperture 108 , and the three dimensional glove aperture 126 . Also shown are a plurality of packaging 200 in the three dimensional glove opening 126 as well as through the slotted aperture 106 and the large aperture 108 . In this horizontal orientation, the packaging 200 , for example, holding a glove or a plurality of gloves, can be removed and/or replaced in the three dimensional glove opening 126 .
  • a universal glove dispenser capable of dispensing gloves from permanent boxes (not shown) or in any desired area is formed.
