Angularly disengageable glove-to-cuff connection apparatus

An apparatus for releasably securing a glove to a cuff comprising:

• a first ring, said first ring having an external circumferential channel against which a cuff can be held by a first constriction means;
• a second ring, said second ring having an external circumferential channel against which a wrist portion of a glove can be held by a second constriction means, said second ring being coaxially insertable at least in part within said first ring so as to form an overlap between the rings;
• sealing and retention means provided on an external circumferential surface of said first ring compressible against an internal circumferential surface of said second ring for releasably retaining said second ring in sealing engagement with said first ring, said internal circumferential surface of said second ring being spaced apart from said external circumferential surface of said first ring;
• and
• stop means for limiting the extent of insertion of said second ring whereby the amount overlap of said first ring with respect to said second ring in conjunction with the spacing between said internal circumferential surface of said second ring and said external circumferential surface of said first ring is sufficient so as to permit angular disconnection of said rings upon application of an angular separating force or moment of predetermined magnitude and duration.
