Definitions
- the present invention relates to a dispenser for protective, medical or other protective gloves and more particularly to the dispenser for dispensing gloves of different size.
- a dispenser for protective gloves comprising a container having a plurality of parallel compartments, each compartment having a filling opening at its upper end to permit filling of gloves into the compartment and a dispensing opening at the lower end of the compartment to permit removal of gloves by insertion of the hand into the opening.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of dispenser in accordance with the invention.
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of a wall bracket for mounting the dispenser
- Figure 3 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the dispenser in accordance with the invention.
- SUBSTITUTE SHEET Figures 4A and 4B are perspective views of further embodiments of the dispenser.
- the dispenser shown in Figure 1 is in the form of a rectangular container 2 having an open upper end which is closable by means of a lid 4.
- the interior of the container is divided into several compartments by parallel partitions 6 extending vertically between the front and rear walls of the container. In the particular form shown there are three such compartments and each compartment extends vertically along the height of the container 2.
- the front wall 8 of the container includes dispensing apertures 10 each opening from a respective one of the compartments, the aperture 10 being at the bottom of the associated compartment.
- each of the compartments is filled with protective gloves (typically made of thin latex) through the upper end of the container, the gloves being supplied in a bulk package which can be opened and its contents tipped into the upper end of the compartment.
- Each compartment contains gloves of a different size. Removal of the gloves is effected through the aperture 10 at the lower end of the compartment. When the gloves have been tipped into the compartment, portions of the lowermost gloves will tend to project through the dispensing apertures 10 and can thus be readily grasped and removed when required for use.
- One or more windows 11 are formed in the front wall of each compartment to permit visual inspection of the amount of product in each compartment to facilitate replenishment when required.
- the dispenser may be fabricated in cardboard or plastics sheet material by folding a suitable blank or may be injection moulded in suitable plastics material.
- the dispenser may be mounted on the wall by means of a wall bracket 12 shown in Figure 2 in which the dispenser is removably fitted.
- the dispenser shown in Figure 3 is generally similar to that shown in
- the lower portion of the container including the dispensing apertures 10 is enlarged to provide a deeper base which enables the dispenser to act as a free-standing unit which may be kept on a desk or table.
- the enlargement of the base is effected by extending the lower part of the front wall 8 with a portion 8 a directed outwardly and downwardly and a further portion extending downwardly 8b.
- the dispensing apertures 10 are formed in a zone adjacent the junction of the two wall portions in order to permit a hand easily to be inserted into the aperture from above and thereby to facilitate removal of the glove through the dispensing aperture.
- each compartment preferably slopes towards the front in order to cause the contents to move towards the dispensing apertures. If the configuration of the free-standing unit is such that the unit might topple over when stood on a desk, this tendency can be counteracted by making the dispenser of weight such that it will not easily topple over when stood on a desk and this can be achieved by fabricating the dispenser by injection moulding from a suitable plastics, or by fabricating the dispenser from metal sheet, such as stainless steel sheet. The relative depth of the base and height of the dispenser will also influence the toppling characteristics and these dimensions can be such as to minimise the risk of toppling.
- the dispenser of Figure 3 can be fabricated relatively inexpensively by folding cardboard or plastics sheet material.
- the exterior of the container can be fabricated from a single blank of the sheet material which is shaped, and folded to form all of the external walls, including the front, rear, and side walls, the lid, and the base formed by wall portions 8a, 8b.
- the individual compartments are each defined by separately formed tubes of rectangular cross-section mounted within the exterior container. Each tube is itself formed from a separate one-piece blank, folded into tubular shape.
- the bottom edge of the tube is perpendicular to the axis of the tube so that the tube rests on the bottom wall of the exterior container, and at its lower end portion the tube includes an integral ramp formed by a flap, which slopes forwardly and downwardly from a position above the bottom edge of the tube to form the
- SUBSTITUTE SHEET sloping bottom of the compartment in order to direct gloves towards the associated aperture 10 in the external container.
- the dispenser is formed from a group of plastics pipes secured in side-by-side relation to define respective compartments.
- the pipes are open at their upper ends to provide filling apertures and dispensing apertures 10 are provided at the lower ends of the pipes. Inspection windows 11 are also provided.
- the bottom portion of each pipe is forwardly and downwardly directed to define a dispensing portion including the dispensing aperture.
- dispensing apertures 10 each have a concave or arched upper edge. This configuration has been found to prevent tearing of the gloves as they are withdrawn.
- Dispensers with three compartments have been described by way of example only. When a particular dispenser is designed for a range of gloves having more than three sizes, the dispenser will have a separate compartment for each size of glove.
