ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for detecting leaks in a rubber glove or the like. The wearer of rubber gloves connects a clip to his ear and places each glove-covered hand individually into electrolyte liquid in an electrically conductive receptacle. A circuit including a buzzer or beeper sounds if there is a leak in the glove. The circuit includes a clip connected to the wearer's ear as well as the beeper, the electrolyte, a battery and the receptacle. An alternative embodiment includes a removable disposable electrically non-conductive receptacle for the electrolyte liquid with the circuit including an electrical conductor cemented to the inside of the receptacle and in the circuit.
