(57) A method of converting sheet material into gloves consisting of the steps of arranging
sheet material with two inner plys (12) of thermoplastic between outer plys (14) of
tissue. Then, applying heat to one of the outer plys of tissue in the outline of a
glove (24), such that the inner plys of thermoplastic (12) bond the plys of sheet
material together to form a glove (24) with an opening (30) along one side (16) to
permit hand entry. An apparatus (34) for use in converting sheet material into gloves
consisting of a body (36) and an electrically heated metal plate (48) mounted on the
body with at least one opening in the shape of a glove. "C" clamps are hinged to the
body such that the body may be mounted to a thermally insulated surface and moved
between a position where the plate engages the surface, and a position where the plate
is spaced from the surface. A disposable glove (10) consisting of two inner plys (12)
of thermoplastic sheet material between outer plys of tissue sheet material (14),
sealed together to form a glove with an opening (30) along one side to permit hand
entry.
