Abstract

A form fitting glove device that includes: a container; a top roll of nitrile within the container; a bottom roll of nitrile within the container; a first opening between the top roll and bottom roll of nitrile; and a second opening adjacent to the first opening between the top roll and bottom roll of nitrile. In one particular embodiment, the container may include a removable lid. Preferably, the first opening receives a left hand of a user and the second opening receives a right hand of the user. The container includes a means to seal a portion of the top roll of nitrile and a portion of the bottom roll of nitrile around each hand of the user.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of Invention
The present invention relates to a device used to form fit glove coverings over a user's hand.
Description of Related Art
Many health care professionals use some form of glove in order to prevent the spread of germs and disease while performing various tasks. Many gloves of this nature are a form of latex glove that are usually once size fits all and stretched over the hand as a user inserts their hand into the glove. However these types of gloves do have their drawbacks because of certain tearing and ripping that might occur during use. Further the glove may not have the greatest fit over the hand therefore making it difficult to actually perform tasks while wearing the gloves. As a result, solutions to provide more form-fitting gloves are necessary to create a better situation for users of such latex and similar gloves.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a form fitting glove device that includes: a container; a top roll of nitrile within the container; a bottom roll of nitrile within the container; a first opening between the top roll and bottom roll of nitrile; and a second opening adjacent to the first opening between the top roll and bottom roll of nitrile. In one particular embodiment, the container may include a removable lid. Preferably, the first opening receives a left hand of a user and the second opening receives a right hand of the user. The container includes a means to seal a portion of the top roll of nitrile and a portion of the bottom roll of nitrile around each hand of the user.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 depicts a form-fitting glove device in accordance with the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present invention relates to a glove form-fitting device that enables the user to insert their hands into openings and the device seals a form-fitted nitrile covering over the hands after insertion into the device. Sheets of nitrile are placed within the device and the nitrile is sealed or heated over the hands of the user. Therefore these gloves are form fitted and provide the perfect fit over the user's palms and fingers and therefore avoiding tearing and opening that is usually associated with the conventional latex glove.
In reference to FIG. 1 a glove fitting device 100 is depicted. Glove fitting device 100 includes a top lid 20 that is removable for the insert of nitrile rolls 30 at the top and bottom of the device. At the center of the device are a left hand opening 32 and a right hand opening 34 for the user to insert their hands within the openings of the device. During operation once the user's hands are placed in the openings 32, 34, nitrile is wrapped around each hand providing a perfect form-fitting glove for the user. A pull out tray 40 is provided at the bottom of the form fitting device 100 to collect any debris or waste associated with the process of glove fitting. The present invention as a result creates a vacuum or heating process to bond two sides of nitrile over each side of the user's hands as the hands are placed into the openings 32, 34. As a result this device eliminates the need for the traditional latex gloves and provides a tight form-fitting glove for the user. The instant invention has been shown and described in what it considers to be the most practical and preferred embodiments. It is recognized, however, that departures may be made there from within the scope of the invention and that obvious modifications will occur to a person skilled in the art.

Claims
