Abstract
A glove matrix and method of making gloves from a web of material, which leaves no scrap from the web of material. A first sheet of material is overlaid on a second sheet of material forming a web. First and second glove patterns are formed in the web are arranged to be opposite one another in the cross machine direction of the web. A sinusoidal cut can be made in the web in the machine direction to form glove patterns opposite each other in the cross machine direction.
Claims21
A glove matrix containing a multiplicity of disposable gloves comprising:
- a first sheet of material;
- a second sheet of material overlain with the first sheet of material to form a web, the web being elongate and having a machine direction parallel to a length of the elongate web and a cross machine direction perpendicular to the machine direction;
- and
- a first plurality of glove patterns in the web, each glove pattern of the first plurality of glove patterns including first finger receptacles sized and shaped to receive fingers of a human hand, each of the first finger receptacles having a distal end, the first plurality of glove patterns being frangibly connected to the web whereby each glove pattern is configured to be detached from the web to form a glove for one hand;
- a second plurality of glove patterns in the web, each glove pattern of the second plurality of glove patterns including second finger receptacles sized and shaped to receive fingers of the human hand, each of the second finger receptacles having a distal end, the second plurality of glove patterns being frangibly connected to the web whereby each glove pattern is configured to be detached from the web to form a glove for one hand;
- wherein the second plurality of glove patterns is arranged opposite the first plurality of glove patterns in the cross machine direction of the web and a plurality of the first finger receptacles of one of the first glove patterns is located opposite a plurality of the second finger receptacles of one of the second glove patterns in the cross machine direction, the distal ends of the plurality of first finger receptacles being located adjacent to the distal ends of the plurality of second finger receptacles.
A glove matrix containing a multiplicity of disposable gloves comprising:
- a first sheet of material;
- a second sheet of material overlain with the first sheet of material to form a web, the web being elongate and having a machine direction parallel to the length of the elongate web and a cross machine direction perpendicular to the machine direction;
- and
- a first plurality of glove patterns in the web, each glove pattern of the first plurality of glove patterns being frangibly connected to the web whereby each glove pattern is configured to be detached from the web to form a glove for one hand, each glove pattern of the first plurality of glove patterns including first cut and seal elements at least partially defining finger receptacles in the glove pattern;
- a second plurality of glove patterns in the web, each glove pattern of the second plurality of glove patterns being frangibly connected to the web whereby each glove pattern is configured to be detached from the web to form a glove for one hand, each glove pattern of the second plurality of glove patterns including first cut and seal elements at least partially defining finger receptacles in the glove pattern;
- a second cut and seal element disposed between the first plurality of glove patterns and the second plurality of glove patterns, the second cut and seal element extending along a sinusoidal curve.
