Coated Glove and Fixture for Forming Coated Glove

A fixture, comprising:

• a mandrel comprising a first end configured to be mounted on a machine for forming a coated glove, a second end opposite the first end, a first projection extending from the second end, and a second projection extending from the second end;
• and
• a finger support comprising a first section and a first joint, the first joint received between the first projection and second projection such that the finger support is pivotally coupled to the second end of the mandrel, the first joint comprising an edge facing an inner surface of the second end when the first joint is received between the first projection and the second projection;
• and
• wherein the finger support is movable with respect to the mandrel between a first position where the edge abuts the inner surface of the second end, and a second position where the edge is spaced away from the inner surface of the second end.

A fixture for forming a coated glove, comprising:

• a mandrel comprising a first end and a second end opposite the first end;
• a thumb support coupled to the mandrel between the first end and the second end;
• and
• a first finger support coupled to the second end of the mandrel, the first finger support comprising a first section pivotally coupled to the second end by a first joint such that the first joint defines a hinged connection between the first section and the second end;
• wherein the fixture is movable between a first position and a second position;
• wherein, when the fixture is in the first position, a bottom surface of the first finger support and a bottom surface of the mandrel each extend along substantially the same plane;
• and
• wherein, when the fixture is in the second position, the bottom surface of the first finger support is curved in a direction towards the bottom surface of the mandrel.
