PAPER GLOVE

Description

[0001] The invention relates to a disposable protective glove as known from DE 4244364 A1.

[0002] The aforementioned text describes how to impregnate the outer grip surfaces of a paper glove.

[0003] The inventor realized that this did not prevent the glove from softening due to the user's sweat, which could lead to cracks and permeability in the glove despite the known impregnation.

[0004] The glove according to the invention therefore has a water-repellent and / or waterproof layer on the inside, particularly on the surface oriented towards the palm of the wearer, at least in the area of ​​the metacarpal. This layer is designed as a separate layer, in particular as a paper layer with a coating. The layer can effectively prevent or delay penetration by perspiration.

[0005] The water-repellent and / or waterproof, separate layer is firmly bonded to the paper glove. The bond is arranged circumferentially or partially circumferentially at the edge of the separate layer. The water-repellent and / or waterproof, separate layer extends over at least 75%, in particular 90%, in particular 100%, of the area in contact with the palm of the wearer's hand. It extends over at least 75%, in particular 90%, in particular 100%, of the area in contact with the palm of the wearer's hand when the glove is worn.

[0006] In particular, the glove does not have a water-repellent and / or waterproof layer on the back of the hand.

[0007] The glove can be constructed with one and / or two separate layers. Specifically, the glove has a separate layer on the back of the hand and two separate layers covering at least 75%, in particular 90%, and in particular 100% of the area in contact with the palm and / or metacarpals of the wearer. The layers are considered separate, in particular, if they are not bonded together over large areas, as is the case with multi-layered paper. This is distinct from the multi-layered nature of paper, where the glove has one layer on the palm, in particular on the outside, and possibly two layers on the outside.has an outer coated, multi-layered paper layer and an inner, on the palm side, a separate, in particular only circumferential, water-repellent and / or waterproof layer, for example baking paper, connected to the multi-layered paper layer.

[0008] A particular advantage of this paper glove is the addition of a water-repellent and / or waterproof layer on its outer surface. This layer can also be a coating or a separate layer; however, a coating is preferred that extends only to the palm, and in particular at least or only to the fingertips and / or the palm of the hand.

[0009] A water-repellent and / or waterproof layer on the outer surface of the paper glove can effectively prevent or delay penetrating the glove due to liquid acting on it from the outside.

[0010] Preferably, the paper glove is made predominantly, in particular at least 75 wt.%, from recycled paper and / or predominantly, in particular at least 75 wt.%, from crepe paper and / or predominantly, in particular at least 75 wt.%, from finely creped paper and / or hygiene paper and / or tissue paper and / or from paper with a basis weight in the range of 15 to 30 g / m² according to DIN EN ISO 12625-6.

[0011] Preferably, the paper glove is predominantly, in particular at least 75 wt%, made of embossed and / or multi-layered material.

[0012] Preferably, the paper glove is made predominantly, in particular at least 75% by weight, of highly absorbent and / or particularly tear-resistant paper. Preferably, the paper glove is made predominantly, in particular at least 75% by weight, of Airflex paper and / or paper with comparable properties. Preferably, the paper glove is made predominantly, in particular at least 75% by weight, of paper containing a wet-strength agent. However, it is also possible to manufacture the glove from paper without a wet-strength agent.

[0013] Advantageously, the water-repellent and / or water-impermeable, in particular separate, layer is formed by paper coated with chromium(III) salt, fatty acid, wax, grease, silicone and / or oil.

[0014] In particular, the separate water-repellent and / or waterproof layer is baking paper.

Claims
