Abstract
Abstract A testing apparatus is provided for lineman''s elastic gloves which comprises a closed, U-shaped channel having at least one pneumatic sidewall for engaging the cuff of the glove with the opposite sidewall when it is inflated. The glove can then be inflated, as by air pressure, for inspection as to its porosity.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
93 words
An apparatus for testing lineman''s gloves comprising means providing a closed U-shaped channel with the open side thereof extending upwardly, pneumatic means lining opposite sidewalls of said channel means, means for inflating said pneumatic means thereby to expand those portions of said pneumatic means lining respective walls of said channel toward each other, whereby the cuff of a glove disposed within said channel will be engaged to seal the interior of the glove from the ambient, and means for inflating the glove to an extend necessary to determine the porosity of the glove.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
93 words
An apparatus for testing lineman''s gloves comprising means providing a closed U-shaped channel with the open side thereof extending upwardly, pneumatic means lining opposite sidewalls of said channel means, means for inflating said pneumatic means thereby to expand those portions of said pneumatic means lining respective walls of said channel toward each other, whereby the cuff of a glove disposed within said channel will be engaged to seal the interior of the glove from the ambient, and means for inflating the glove to an extend necessary to determine the porosity of the glove.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
The invention as defined in claim 1 wherein said pneumatic-inflating means is connected to simultaneously inflate said pneumatic means disposed on opposite sides of said channel.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
The invention as defined in claim 2 wherein said apparatus includes means for maintaining inflation of said pneumatic means during operation of said glove-inflating means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
36 words
The invention as defined in claim 3 wherein said maintaining means comprises a diverter valve. 5 The invention as defined in claim 1 wherein relatively soft, flexible means is disposed in the bottom of said channel.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
71 words
An apparatus for testing lineman''s gloves comprising means providing a U-shapeD channel with the open side thereof adapted for receiving the cuff of said glove, pneumatic means, lining opposite sidewalls of said channel for engaging said glove cuff on opposite sides thereof, means for inflating those portions of said pneumatic means lining respective walls of said channel toward each other, and means for inflating said glove for examination of porosity thereof.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
71 words
An apparatus for testing lineman''s gloves comprising means providing a U-shapeD channel with the open side thereof adapted for receiving the cuff of said glove, pneumatic means, lining opposite sidewalls of said channel for engaging said glove cuff on opposite sides thereof, means for inflating those portions of said pneumatic means lining respective walls of said channel toward each other, and means for inflating said glove for examination of porosity thereof.
