Abstract
A method of making fabric-lined elastomeric articles of wear is disclosed which includes forming an elastomeric article on a form or mold, applying a pressure-sensitive adhesive to the article while on the form, drying the adhesive, applying a lubricant over the adhesive, positioning a preformed liner over the lubricated adhesive, removing the lubricant, and removing the lined article from the form and turning it inside-out.
Claims23
A method of making a lined elastomeric article comprising the steps of applying a coating of adhesive in liquid state to an elastomeric article on a form, drying the adhesive on the article, thereafter applying a preformed lining over the article and the adhesive coating to adhesively connect the lining to the article including the steps of employing a lubricant between the adhesive coating and the inner surface of the lining to facilitate applying the lining over the adhesive coating and article, and thereafter drying the lining and the article on the form, and removing the article with the lining from the form to provide the lined elastomeric article.
A method of making a fabric-lined glove comprising the steps of forming a latex glove body on a glove form including the step applying a latex coagulant to the surface of a glove form, drying the coagulant on the form, dipping the coagulant coated form into a container of latex to provide a layer of latex thereon, partially drying the latex layer, leaching the coagulant from the form, at least partially curing the layer of latex, thereafter applying a coating of a liquid pressure sensitive adhesive to the outer surface of the latex, drying the adhesive coating, applying a lubricant to the outer surface of the adhesive coating, slipping a fabric liner onto the form into snug contact relation with the lubricated adhesive coating, rinsing the lubricant from the form, drying the liner, removing the latex layer with the liner adhesively connected thereto from the form to provide a latex glove, and turning the latex glove inside out so that the latex layer is on the exterior side and the liner on the interior side of the latex glove.
