## Abstract

A debris capturing device includes a glove including an open end, a plurality of finger extensions including finger slots, and a thumb extension including a thumb slot. An adhesive pad is coupled to the glove. A removable pad cover is disposed on the adhesive pad. The removable pad cover is configured to expose an adhesive surface of the adhesive pad when removed. The adhesive surface faces away from the glove. The adhesive pad is dimensioned, shaped and positioned with respect to the glove to fold a distal end of the adhesive pad to contact a proximal end of the adhesive pad. The glove is dimensioned, shaped and positioned with respect to the adhesive pad to be inverted upon removal of the glove from a user's hand.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A debris capturing device, comprising:
a glove comprising an open end, a plurality of finger extensions including finger slots, and a thumb extension including a thumb slot;
an adhesive pad coupled to the glove;
a removable pad cover disposed on the adhesive pad, wherein the removable pad cover is configured to expose an adhesive surface of the adhesive pad when removed, and wherein the adhesive surface faces away from the glove,
wherein the adhesive pad is dimensioned, shaped and positioned with respect to the glove to fold a distal end of the adhesive pad to contact a proximal end of the adhesive pad,
wherein the glove is dimensioned, shaped and positioned with respect to the adhesive pad to be inverted upon removal of the glove from a user's hand; and
a perforated line formed in the adhesive pad and the removable pad cover along a direction perpendicular to an extending direction to the adhesive pad, wherein the perforated line is dimensioned, shaped and positioned to guide the folding of the adhesive pad substantially in half when the distal end of the adhesive pad is folded to contact the proximal end of the adhesive pad.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The debris capturing device of claim 1, wherein the thumb extension is unattached to the adhesive pad.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The debris capturing device of claim 2, wherein the glove comprises polyethylene.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The debris capturing device of claim 3, wherein the adhesive pad comprises a curved proximal end and a substantially square distal end.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The debris capturing device of claim 1, wherein the adhesive pad is coupled to a palm side of the glove.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The debris capturing device of claim 1, further comprising an extension portion extending proximally from a proximal end of the glove on a palm side of the glove.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The debris capturing device of claim 6, wherein the adhesive pad is coupled to the extension portion.

### Claim 8

A debris capturing device, comprising:
a mitten comprising an open end, a finger pocket and a thumb extension including a thumb slot;
an adhesive pad coupled to the mitten;
a removable pad cover disposed on the adhesive pad, wherein the removable pad cover is configured to expose an adhesive surface of the adhesive pad when removed, and wherein the adhesive surface faces away from the mitten,
wherein the adhesive pad is dimensioned, shaped and positioned with respect to the mitten to fold a distal end of the adhesive pad to contact a proximal end of the adhesive pad,
wherein the mitten is dimensioned, shaped and positioned with respect to the adhesive pad to be inverted upon removal of the mitten from a user's hand; and
a perforated line formed in the adhesive pad and the removable pad cover along a direction perpendicular to an extending direction to the adhesive pad, wherein the perforated line is dimensioned, shaped and positioned to guide the folding of the adhesive pad substantially in half when the distal end of the adhesive pad is folded to contact the proximal end of the adhesive pad.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The debris capturing device of claim 8, wherein the thumb extension is unattached to the adhesive pad.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The debris capturing device of claim 9, wherein the mitten comprises polyethylene.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The debris capturing device of claim 10, wherein the adhesive pad comprises a curved proximal end and a substantially square distal end.

### Claim 12 (depends on 8)

The debris capturing device of claim 8, wherein the adhesive pad is coupled to a palm side of the mitten.

### Claim 13 (depends on 8)

The debris capturing device of claim 8, further comprising an extension portion extending proximally from a proximal end of the mitten on a palm side of the mitten.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The debris capturing device of claim 13, wherein the adhesive pad is coupled to the extension portion.
