Definitions

  • a thin surgical glove is provided with a colored circumferential band overlying the cuff portion to impart visualidentification of the glove size and to further. strengthen the cuff.
  • a different color is employed for. each size.
  • the method comprises first depositing a' layer of latex on a glove form and immediately thereafter, before curing, the form is partly immersed into a v preselected colored latex bath, wrist down, whereby a desired colored band of desired width isdeposited about the cuff portion.
  • Theglove is dried, stripped from the form and cured.
  • the colored band becomes integrally connected with the underlying base material and resists delaminating.
  • a turnta ble mechanism is employed carrying a plurality of prepositioned colored latex containing tanks. These 'tanks are. rotatably moved into dipping relationship with the glove forms being carried overhead.
  • the present invention has as its primary objectivethe elimination of glove size mismatching during packaging and erroneous selection by the wearer.
  • Numerous approaches have been aken forproviding a surgical glove which combines the advantages of a thin hand'portion anda heavier wrist portion for reinforcing purposes'only.
  • U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,683,263 and 3,555,564 describe rubber gloves having a plurality ofthickened wall portions corresponding to. the wrist portion and the portion intermediate the wrist and the hand portion of the glove.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 3,268,647 suggests a fluted wrist portion.
  • a further object of the present invention is the provision of a process whereby a substantially complete uncured glove structure is first formed, a layer of coloredlatex of predetermined width is then deposited 'circumferentially on the wrist or cuffportion of the glove, and the composite glove and colored latex overlying layer are together cured to form a homogeneous glove.
  • a still further object of the present invention is the provision of a multi-dip process for making afsurgi cal glove .6 hesive to the preform, posltionmg the preform onto the glove to form a laminated structure,'drying and testing.
  • the glove quality is unsatisfactory since dehaving a colored wrist 'or cuff portion for size identification purposes wherein the glove is first formed by dipping in a latex bath of neutral color and a second layer applied circumferentially over the wrist or cuff portion only is formed bymeans of a second clip in a colored latexbath.
  • Yet another object of the present invention is the provision of an .improved method which utilizes a turntable mechanism for positioning a plurality of colored latex tanks into dipping relationship with the glove forms being conveyed overhead.
  • the surgical glove of the present invention is preferably made of a natural rubber latex comprising a hand portion of thin wall construction and a colored wrist or cuff portion of thickened construction for size identification purposes and to prevent wrist tearing.
  • the method according to the present invention utilizes the conventional steps of forming a surgical glove by applying coagulant to a glove-shaped form and then substantially completely immersing the form into a latex bath for a time sufficient to deposit a thin layer of latex onto the form. Thereafter the latex covered form is removed from the latex bath and partially dried, and subjected to a partial coating operation whereby a layer of colored latex is deposited over the wrist or cuff portion of the precured latex.
  • a partial coating operation whereby a layer of colored latex is deposited over the wrist or cuff portion of the precured latex.
  • the partial coating operation comprises dipping the wrist or cuff portion only into a tank of colored latex. After a sufficielnt layer is builtv up on the wrist or cuff, the form is removed and subjected to a vulcanizing (or curing) operation. Thereafter, the glove is removed from the form and conventionally processed and packaged.
  • the surgical glove of the present invention may b further characterized as having very thin fingerportions to maximize tactile sensitivity but is yet strong enough to resist rupture.
  • one preferred'approach is to withdraw the coagulant coated form from a latex bath, fingertips pointing upwardly so as to place the coated form immediately in proper dipping position with respect to the colored latex tank whereby only the wrist or cuff portion is immersed in the colored lat ex bath to yielda colored band of about inch to 1% wide.
  • Another technique for applying the colored latex circumferential band is to use a spray device suitably positioned so as to confront a rotating latex covered form.
  • dipping form which is suitable for use in this invention is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 1,951,402.
  • This form is dipped one or more times in the latex bath and partially dried after each dip to produce a film of desired thickness.
  • a conventional coagulant e.g., calcium nitrate solution, hydrated magnesium acetate solution, or the like, is applied to a'form being coatedprior to dipping.
  • the coagulant coated form is dipped into the latex'bath where it picks up the required latex thickness. If additional thickness is required, the process may be repeated uniformly or in selected areas.
  • the thickness of the latex deposit will vary with the type and concentration of coagulant employed as well as the immersion time.
  • the finger portions of thesurgical gloves of this invention generally have a thickness ranging from about 0.004 inches to about 0.10 inches, with athickness of between about 0.006 to 0.007 inches being preferred since it combines the requisite strength and tactile sensitivity which permits the performance of delicate manipulations during surgical procedures.
  • the remaining portions of the glove can be of heavier construction.
  • the wrist and/or cuff is desirably from about one to three times the thickness of the finger portions. principally due to the additional colored latex deposit.
  • the added thickness at'the wrist or cuff greatly acteristics appropriate for dipping.
  • One or more con- I ventional colored dyes are added to the latex formulation to give the desired colored band.
  • FIG. 1 is a flow chart which sets forth the major steps employed in performing the method of the present invention
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the surgical glove according to the present invention prior to being stripped from its form
  • FIG. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary section of the thickened cuff portion of the surgical glove of FIG. 2 and shows in greater detail the thickened colored cuff portion in section; and v FIG. 4 is a diagrammatic representation of apparatus employed in carrying out the method according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 of the drawing there is shown a surgical glove 10 according to this invention prior to its removal from a metal or porcelain form 12.
  • Surgical glove 10 includes fingertip portion or finger stalls l4, central portion 16 and a cuff portion 18 extending beyond the wrist portion 20.
  • surgical gloves are conventionally paired with right and left handed gloves, the surgical glove according to this invention can be formed to be applicable to either hand, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 2,335,871.
  • Colored circumferential band 22 overlies the inner base portion 19 of the cuff portion 18 forming a thickened cuff which serves to further reinforce the cuff against tearing.
  • Colored band 22 terminates at the cuff edge 24 and extends towards the fingertips 14 from about 1 inch to about 3 inches.
  • a preferred band width is about 1% inches.
  • the overlying circumferential colored band 22 is integrally joined with the underlying base portion 19 of the cuff material forming a substantially unitary structure.
  • FIG. 1 there is illustrated in outline form the major steps employed in carrying out the method according to the present invention.
  • the preferred apparatus employed is shown in FIG. 4. Referring to FIG. 4, there is shown, in sequential arrangement, a first tank 30 containing coagulant 32, a second tank 34 containing glove operatively connected to a correspondingdrive gear 66 with associated-motor means (not shown).
  • An overhead conveyor system is provided with a track 68, a plurality of roller driven carriers 70, 72 suspended immediately below the track 68.
  • Each of the carriers includes a depending arm 74 with a retractable rack-carrying rod 76 carrying a rack 78 upon which glove shaped forms 12 are positioned.
  • FIG. 4 It will be apparent that although four forms are shown in FIG. 4, this invention is not limited to the number of forms shown. Similarly, the apparatus depicted is but one embodiment and numerous variations can be made, such as the tanks moving up to the forms rather than the forms down to the tanks.
  • the glove forms 12 are brought into dipping relationship with coagulant tank 30.
  • the rack 78 and forms are immersed completely into coagulant 32 and after removal, the coagulant is allowed to dry on the form by spinning the rack or the like.
  • the next step is to uniformly coat the coagulant covered form with latex. This step is accomplished preferably by immersing the form 12 with fingertips pointing up, as illustrated, into the latex bath 36.
  • the reaction between the coagulant and latex composition accelerates the deposition process.
  • the forms are then removed and partially dried inair, by spinning.
  • the latex is in an uncured state at this stage.
  • the latex covered forms are manually or automatically carried to the next station where the colored latex is applied to the lower or cuff portion of the glove form.
  • the forms are only partly immersed in the colored latex bath 50 to yield a l-inch wide-band on the predeposited latex.
  • a second coagulant tank (not shown) placed between the first latex dip and the application of the colored band.
  • the second coagulant tank could be used to prepare the cuff portion for deposition of the colored latex layer.
  • Each of the tanks 40-48 contains a different colored latex composition so that the manufacture of different glove sizes can be carried out at the same time. Naturally, synchronization between the glove size and the colored latex tank is required. After a production run of one'size is completed, theturntable platform 60 is rotated to bring the next appropriate tank into. dipping relationship with the overheadconveyor and carrier 70.
  • the form leaving any one of tanks 40-48 is further processed by heating to effect simultaneous curing of v of the glove.
  • the resulting article is esthetically attractive, and possesses an improved functional characteristic which permits a processor or wearer to readily identify the size of the glove by its color. Additionally, the added wall thickness at the wrist portion prevents tearing of the glove at the wrist when the glove is put on the hand. If desired, the numerical value of the size of the glove can also be provided on the colored band by using appropriate masking prior to the final dipping operation in the colored latex band. In use, a color chart relating color to glove size is providedin each package.
