Pneumatic Glove Break-In Apparatus

A glove break-in apparatus, comprising:

• a. a metal chassis;
• b. a glove forming assembly affixed to the chassis, the glove forming assembly comprising a circular base that is rotatable and adjustable vertically up to accommodate different glove sizes and enable positioning of different areas of a glove;
• c. a pneumatic reciprocating platen press mounted on the chassis above the glove forming assembly, the pneumatic press having an upper platen that travels vertically to converge toward and apply a compressive force to a glove positioned on the circular base when the press is activated, the upper platen including an interchangeable tip that contacts the glove and is selected from a group comprising:
• i. a rounded metal tip,
• ii. a rounded plastic tip, and
• iii. a baseball;
• d. a 2-position, 4-way pneumatic foot pedal valve connected to the pneumatic reciprocating platen press via fittings and tubes, the foot pedal valve configured to activate the pneumatic press, causing the upper platen to converge and apply the compressive force when the foot pedal is depressed, and to cause the upper platen to release and travel upward when the foot pedal is released;
• and
• e. a connector for attaching an air compressor hose to power the pneumatic reciprocating platen press, wherein the apparatus is configured to be powered by an air compressor.
