In combination with the above heating board(320), it conducts heat generated from the heating board(320) evenly. Desirably, as illustrated in FIG. 3, a connection jaw(217) is formed in the connection side of the front part(210) and the rear part(220), and it can be connected by inserting the edge of the thermal conduction board(310). However, the above thermal conduction board(310) or the heating board(320) can be connected in other various ways. And, it is also permitted to connect the edge even without letting it touch the inside of the fingers support(200).[45] The above thermal conduction board (310) is made according to the shape of the fingers support (200) using the metal materials with high thermal conduction.

[48] How to use the apparatus for drying and sterilizing rubber gloves is as follows: The user takes off rubber gloves and props them against the above fingers support(200). This time, the fingers part(211) of the fingers support(200) may be inserted into the fingers part of the rubber gloves. Then, initially the moisture inside and outside the rubber gloves falls down by the self- weight and is gathered in the waterspout(30) of the body(lθ). This time, the user can control the angle of the connecting rod(40) freely for easy insertion of rubber gloves or can leave space between the rubber gloves appropriately.[48] How to use the apparatus for drying and sterilizing rubber gloves is as follows: The user takes off rubber gloves and props them against the above fingers support (200).

[49] In this status, if the switch(l 1) is turned on, power is supplied to the heating board(320) and heat is generated. This heat is immediately transferred to the entire fingers support(200) through the thermal conduction board(310). In case it is composed of only the heating board without the thermal conduction board, heat will be generated directly from the heating board. Although this specification does not attach the circuit diagram to display the connection status of the switch and the power, it is very general in the technical field and specific application examples may be various. Accordingly, I omit its example.[49] In this status, if the switch (l 1) is turned on, power is supplied to the heating board (320) and heat is generated.
