A method of turning back to the proper side an inside-out glove, the glove having an inside and an outside, utilizing the fingers of one of two hands of a user along with the second of the two hands of the user, the method including an apparatus consisting of:
- a base, having a plurality of openings of various sizes, one opening in the plurality of openings being in a top of the base, the opening in the top of the base being configured to accept a guide, a bottom side of the base having multiple additional openings of the plurality of openings, with one opening of the openings in the bottom side being smaller than the other openings in the bottom side and being connected to the opening in said top that is configured to accept the guide, the bottom side of the base being flat;
- the guide, defined between two ends, a first end and a second end, the first end having a series of grooves circumscribing the guide parallel to the first end, the grooves being perpendicularly disposed on an axis of the guide, each groove of the series of grooves being configured to accept a respective flexible element of a set respective of flexible elements, wherein complete insertion of the first end of the guide into the opening in the top of the base is configured to create a vacuum with the flexible elements, the second end of the guide having a depression, the depression being surrounded by a perimeter, the perimeter being a point of separation between the depression and a taper, the taper beginning in an upper section of the guide and culminating with the perimeter;
- the method comprising the steps of:
- a) placing the flat bottom side of the base on a surface, the smaller opening on the bottom side being connected in fluid communication with the opening in the top that is configured to accept the guide, fitting each of the flexible elements into their respective grooves of the guide, fitting the guide into the opening in the top of the base that is configured to accept the guide, thereby expelling any moisture, dust or debris through the opening in the top of the base that is configured to accept the guide, downward and out of the base through the smaller opening in the bottom side of the base,
- wherein the guide is configured to extend from the top of the base in a direction perpendicular to the surface, the taper beginning in an upper section of the guide and culminating with the perimeter, the depression being of a size capable of maintaining continuous contact with an apex of a fingertip of the user in an inverted or inside-out glove finger portion, the flexible elements being fitted in their respective grooves in concert with the vacuum providing the sole means for attaching guide to the base such that no threaded means or any other means for attaching is required;
- b) putting an inverted or inside-out glove on a hand of the user;
- c) choosing any finger of the user, then inserting a tip of an inverted or inside-out glove finger portion containing the finger of the user in the depression, wherein the inside-out glove finger portion is substantially perpendicular to said surface;
- d) grasping a cuff of the inside-out glove with the second hand of the user;
- e) peeling the cuff downward in a direction that is substantially perpendicular to the surface while maintaining continuous contact between the apex of a fingertip of the user in an inside-out glove finger portion and the depression until the or inside-out glove finger portion is completely reformed;
- f) after the inside-out glove finger portion is reformed, resituate any finger of the user to engage and maintain continuous contact with depression and the gloved finger and repeat steps (d) through (f) with a finger portion selected from the group consisting of another inside-out glove finger portion containing a finger of the user;
- g) repeating steps (d) through (f) with a finger portion selected from the group consisting of a third or inside-out glove finger portion containing a finger of the user;
- h) repeating steps (d) through (f) with a finger portion selected from the group consisting of a fourth inside-out glove finger portion containing a finger of the user;
- i) repeating steps (d) through (f) with a finger portion selected from the group consisting of a fifth inside-out glove finger portion containing a finger of the user, until each glove finger portion and the glove overall is completely reformed.
