Definitions
- the present invention relates to a novel glove or mitten for use in cleaning or polishing various surfaces.
- gloves or mittens are used to protect the wearer's hands.
- Such gloves or mittens are commonly made from latex rubber or plastics material, and range in thickness from surgical gloves to heavy-duty mittens used in the petro-chemical industry.
- a characteristic of latex rubber or plastic is that it becomes slippery when wet. Soap or detergent increase this slipperyness and, as a result, a rubber glove is less efficient as a cleaning tool than the wearer's own bare hands.
- a cleaning or polishing article includes: a sponge, wash cloth, rag, scourer or brush, and may be used either on its own or impregnated with soap, disinfectant, oil, polish, wax or combinations thereof. Often, when a cleaning job arises, either the gloves can be found or the cleaning article can be found", but seldom both.
- the present invention seeks to substantially overcome these problems by providing, in a novel and inexpensive manner, a glove or mitten for use in cleaning or polishing various surfaces, which combines the protective nature of a glove or mitten with the abrasive nature of a cleaning article.
- a glove or mitten having a cleaning article attached to at least the front finger area of said glove or mitten.
- the glove or mitten is preferably made from latex rubber of at least 1mm in thickness, and preferably is in the shape of a mitten.
- a secondary attaching means such as VELCRO (Trade Mark), or press studs or such like, may be bonded to at least the front finger area of the glove or mitten, and that the cleaning article be detachable from said secondary attaching means.
- a method of manufacture of a glove or mitten comprising the steps of:
- step (d) repeating step (b);
- the halogen used in step (b) is bromine.
- bonding is achieved by applying a urethane resin to both the glove or mitten and the cleaning article or secondary attaching means.
- Fig. 1 is an exploded view showing a mitten, bonding agent and cleaning article
- Fig. 2 is a schematic view of a method of manufacture of a mitten
- Fig. 3 is a schematic view of a method of bonding onto a mitten.
- Fig. 1 there is shown in exploded view a mitten
- the mitten 1 is of latex rubber and weighs between 25 and 30g.
- a cleaning pad 2 of SCOTCHBRITE (Trade Mark) is cut to fit the area in front of the fingers and extending from the finger tips towards the wrist.
- This cleaning pad 2 is directly attached to the mitten 1 by a bonding agent 3 in the form of a layer of urethane resin 9521 (ICI) crosslinked with Delta Bond AR (ICI) applied to both the mitten and the cleaning pad, before the cleaning pad is pressed against the mitten.
- ICI urethane resin 9521
- ICI Delta Bond AR
- Figs 2 and 3 schematically illustrate a preferred method of manufacture of a mitten according to the present invention.
- a flat former 4 is cut to the required shape from a sheet of aluminium.
- the former is first dipped in a solution of hydrochloric acid before use.
- a known platten assembly moves forward and backward along a rail 5 to allow the former 4 to be positioned above vats A or B.
- the former 4 o is held on the platten assembly by means of a clamp 6.
- vat A Into vat A is placed an aqueous colloid of latex rubber to a depth of at least 360mm.
- the former 4 is gently lowered into vat A to a depth of about 330mm and allowed to remain in the vat A for about 1 minute, or until the latex rubber has adhered on the former 4 to a thickness of about Irnm.
- the former 4 is then gently : raised from the vat A and air dried at ambient temperature (20°C) for about one hour.
- the adhered rubber on the former 4 is then leached by lowering the former 4 into vat B which has earlier been filled to a depth of about 360mm with a 5% aqueous bromine solution.
- the former 4 with the adhered rubber is agitated for between 1 and 2 minutes in the bromine solution before the former 4 is raised clear of vat B.
- the bromine solution leaches (removes) antioxidants from the surface layer of the latex rubber and toughens the surface layer without affecting its flexibility.
- the mitten is manually removed, inverted and replaced on the former 4 and the former 4 is once more dipped into vat B and agitated for 1 to 2 minutes to leach the inside surface of the mitten.
- the mitten After raising the former 4 clear of vat B, the mitten is manually removed from the former 4 and, in doing so, the latex s.urface, which was first subjected to the leaching step, is once more the outside surface. However, as both the inside surface and outside surface of the mitten has been leached, it does not matter whether the mitten is again inverted before being placed on a flat surface.
- Fig. 3 the mitten 1 is placed on a flat surface and a template 7 is placed over the mitten 1, exposing only the area 8 between the fingertips and towards the wrist.
- urethane resin 9521 crosslinked with 3.5% Delta Bond AR (ICI) is rolled over area 8 and allowed to become touch dry.
- an even layer of urethane resin 9521 (ICI) crosslinked with 3.5% Delta Bond AR (ICI) is applied to the underside of a SCOTCHBRITE (Trade Mark) pad 2 and allowed to become touch dry. The pad 2 is then brought into alignment with the area 8 on mitten 1 and pressed together until the bonding agent 3 cures. This curing normally takes about 30 minutes at ambient temperature (20°C), although curing may be speeded up by heat curing the resin at 90°C.
