Abstract
Dielectric testing of rubber or plastic gloves, particularly an apparatus for suspending a plurality of pairs of water-filled gloves, then immersing the gloves into a water test tank. A high voltage test circuit includes a source of electrical power connected to the water test tank and a plurality of individual electrodes extending into each water-filled glove. Individual test circuits for each electrode enable continued testing, notwithstanding failure or removal of any one glove.

Apparatus for dielectric testing of gloves comprising:
- (a) an elongated housing including a glove loading station, a glove testing station and a glove unloading station;
- (b) a longitudinal track supported in the top of said housing and extending through the stations;
- (c) a glove holding rack engaging said track and having a plurality of clamps, engageable with the open ends of gloves being tested, so as to suspend said gloves vertically within the housing;
- (d) a glove-filling water tank adjustably supported above said glove rack within said glove loading station and, including individual water fill drops extensible from said tank into individual gloves;
- (e) a vertically adjustable water test tank supported in said test station beneath said glove holding rack, so as to be elevated towards said glove rack and immerse gloves being clamped thereon;
- and
- (f) a high voltage test circuit interconnecting an electrical power supply, said water test tank and a plurality of individual electrodes supported in the top of said testing station and extensible into the open ends of gloves being tested.

Apparatus for dielectric testing of water proof containers comprising:
- (a) an elongated housing including a container loading station, a container testing station and a container unloading station;
- (b) a longitudinal track supported in the top of said housing and extending through the stations;
- (c) a container holding rack engaging said track and having a plurality of clamps, engageable with the open ends of containers being tested, so as to suspend said containers vertically within the housing;
- (d) a container-filling water tank adjustably supported above said container rack within said container loading station and, including individual water fill drops extensible from said tank into individual containers;
- (e) a verticaly adjustable water test tank supported in said test station beneath said container holding rack, so as to be elevated towards said rack and immerse containers being clamped thereon;
- and
- (f) a high voltage test circuit interconnecting an electrical power supply, said water test tank and a plurality of individual electrodes supported in the top of said testing station and extensible into the open ends of containers being tested.
