Abstract
Abstract Superposed sheets of plastic material are laid on sheet of wrapping material. Gloves are formed by sealing superposed plastic sheets together in the form of two gloves attached to each other at their cuffs. The pair of gloves is then cut out, one glove is folded over the other, and the gloves and wrapping sheet folded up to form a package, which is held closed by an adhesive strip.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
149 words
A process of making and wrapping a pair of plastic gloves in a sheet of wrapping material comprising, the steps of, positioning at least two superposed sheets of plastic material in superposed relation to a sheet of flexible wrapping material, welding edge to edge and cutting out a flat member from said plastic sheets of an outline to form said pair of gloves connected together along a cuff region, said step of positioning further comprising positioning the wrapping material only under that part of the superposed plastic sheets which forms a first one of said gloves upon cutting and welding, adhering said first glove to said wrapping material during said step of cutting and welding, forming a weakened tear line through the cuff region of said member, folding said gloves over each other, and then folding the assembly of the wrapping sheet and the two gloves into a package.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
149 words
A process of making and wrapping a pair of plastic gloves in a sheet of wrapping material comprising, the steps of, positioning at least two superposed sheets of plastic material in superposed relation to a sheet of flexible wrapping material, welding edge to edge and cutting out a flat member from said plastic sheets of an outline to form said pair of gloves connected together along a cuff region, said step of positioning further comprising positioning the wrapping material only under that part of the superposed plastic sheets which forms a first one of said gloves upon cutting and welding, adhering said first glove to said wrapping material during said step of cutting and welding, forming a weakened tear line through the cuff region of said member, folding said gloves over each other, and then folding the assembly of the wrapping sheet and the two gloves into a package.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
Process as claimed in claim 1 in which the sheet of packaging material positioned beneath the first glove has a size which is adjusted to that of the first glove.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
40 words
Process as claimed in claim 1 in which the tear line which connects the two gloves along their cuffs is positioned substantially along an edge of the sheet of wrapping material which extends transversely with respect to the first glove.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
Process as claimed in claim 1 in which the two gloves are substantially symmetrical with respect to the tear line.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
50 words
Process as claimed in claim 1 in which, after having folded said gloves over each other the gloves and wrapping material are folded along several fold lines substantially perpendicular to the axis of the gloves, and then folded along at least one line substantially perpendicular to said several fold lines.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
48 words
Process as claimed in claim 5 in which after having folded the assembly of wrapping material and the pair of gloves which it contains, the resulting package is closed by connecting to each other at least two longitudinal edges of the assembly by means of an adhesive strip.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
37 words
Process as claimed in claim 1 in which the two gloves are connected at their cuffs by each of two layers of material which form said gloves, a tear line being formed on each of said layers.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
70 words
Process as claimed in claim 1 in which the two gloves are connected at their cuffs by only one of the two layers of material which form the gloves and said tear line is formed in said one layer, the two spaced cuff edges formed by the other layer of the glove being, before the two gloves are folded over each other, located on opposite sides of the tear line.
