BRIEF SUMMARY
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a packing unit with two protective gloves, particularly AIDS protective gloves, located on a carrier sheet and a method for manufacturing same.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Packing units for protective gloves are known in which the gloves are attached next to each other on a carrier sheet made of paper for example. Information for the wearer of the protective gloves, for example their use in treating persons suspected of having AIDS, can be printed on the carrier sheet. To protect the sensitive gloves, which consist of thin plastic film, from damage, it is necessary to attach the gloves flat to the carrier sheet. Accordingly, attachment of two gloves next to each other requires a large carrier sheet, the size of which corresponds at least to the contour outlines of two gloves lying next to each other. A carrier sheet the size of DIN A3 format is generally necessary for this. Consequently, packing units for two protective gloves on a carrier sheet require a great deal of paper.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The goal of the present invention is to create a packing unit in which the material requirement for the carrier sheet can be reduced with two protective gloves, especially AIDS protective gloves, disposed on a carrier sheet.
This goal is achieved by a packing unit of the species according to the preamble of the main claim with the features of its characterizing portion. The subclaims contain preferred embodiments of the invention and a method for manufacturing the packing unit.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES
The invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the figures.
FIG. 1 is a carrier sheet with two mounted protective gloves with different contour outlines in top view;
FIG. 2 is a section through the arrangement of FIG. 1 showing a sequence of superimposed film layers which may be simultaneously heat sealed or glued to the carrier sheet when preparing a packing unit of a pair of gloves.
FIG. 3 is a further embodiment in which the film layers of two protective gloves are located on opposite sides of the carrier sheet and which film layers may be simultaneously heat sealed or glued to the carrier sheet when preparing a packing unit of a pair of gloves.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
The present invention offers two possibilities for reducing the material requirement for the carrier sheet, which can consist of paper for example. The first is for the two protective gloves to be located and attached on opposite sides of the carrier sheet; the second is for the two protective gloves to be located on the same side of the carrier sheet and attached. In both cases, the contour outlines of the protective gloves overlap at least partially, so that with increasing overlapping the space taken up by the protective gloves is reduced. Thus, it is preferable for the contour outlines of the two gloves to overlap the total outline to a considerable degree, and especially preferable for them to be completely or nearly congruent.
When the protective gloves are located on opposite sides of the carrier sheet, the protective gloves are preferably of the same size, i.e. the contour outlines of the two protective gloves located on opposite sides of the carrier sheet are identical. In the second arrangement, namely placing the two protective gloves on the same side of the carrier sheet, it is preferable for the contour outlines of the protective glove located further from the carrier sheet to be slightly larger than the protective glove abutting the sheet. In this manner, when the protective gloves are manufactured by a heat-sealed seam, initially the protective glove abutting the carrier sheet can be sealed from two layers of film, whereupon the second protective glove is sealed above the first protective glove in the same manner. Because the protective glove that is further from the carrier sheet has a slightly larger contour outline, heat sealing can be performed on this protective glove without said protective glove sticking to
