ABSTRACT:
A process of simultaneously turning and blocking a leather glove is disclosed, in which the fingers of the glove are initially mounted upon elongated members of relatively small diameter, and are turned onto heated mandrels of relatively larger diameter. The stretching of the finger portions as they are turned in this manner, combined with the application of heat from the heated mandrels, causes simultaneous blocking of the glove fingers as they are turned. In an apparatus for carrying out this process, the finger receiving members of lesser diameter are rods, and the mandrels onto which the fingers are turned are tubular. A wrist clamp is provided, which grips the inside of the cuff portion of the glove, and draws the glove off the finger mounting members onto the heated mandrels by movement relative to the finger mounting members. The turning of the glove fingers is assisted by the provision of a muffling clamp which forms an air tight chamber with the glove on the wrist clamp, the chamber being pressured with a jet of heated air to separate the turning portion of the glove from the ends of the tubular mandrels so as to reduce friction on turning.
