Abstract
Abstract An apparatus for preservation of a leather glove. A hollow perforated hand-shaped form, sized to fit snugly within a glove, contains a dehydrating agent which draws moisture out of the glove. The form and glove are insertable in a protective case. The case includes a porous inner lining which is impregnated with a leather emollient. The combined action of the dehydrating agent and the emollient-impregnated lining is to remove moisture, thereby preventing the formation of mold or mildew, and at the same time infuse the emollient into the glove to maintain its suppleness and flexibility.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
114 words
An apparatus for preserving a leather glove, comprising a closable protective case having a porous inner lining suitable for impregnation with a leather emollient, and a hollow vapor-permeable hand-shaped form adapted to fit within a leather glove and contain a dehydrating agent, said hand-shaped form consisting of separable thumb and hand parts, each of said parts being hollow and permeable to water vapor, and wherein said case is sized to cooperably receive and enclose a glove containing said form, whereby during storage in said case moisture in a glove is extracted by action of said dehydrating agent in said hand-shaped form and said leather emollient is at the same time infused into said glove.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
114 words
An apparatus for preserving a leather glove, comprising a closable protective case having a porous inner lining suitable for impregnation with a leather emollient, and a hollow vapor-permeable hand-shaped form adapted to fit within a leather glove and contain a dehydrating agent, said hand-shaped form consisting of separable thumb and hand parts, each of said parts being hollow and permeable to water vapor, and wherein said case is sized to cooperably receive and enclose a glove containing said form, whereby during storage in said case moisture in a glove is extracted by action of said dehydrating agent in said hand-shaped form and said leather emollient is at the same time infused into said glove.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
54 words
The apparatus defined in claim 1 wherein said hand part includes a convex exterior edge and said thumb part includes a cooperable concave exterior edge, whereby said thumb part may be rotated about said convex edge of said hand part, whereby the hand-shaped form may be fitted within either a left-handed or right-handed glove.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
The apparatus defined in claim 1 further comprising a dehydrating agent consisting essentially of calcium sulfate.
