Abstract

Right and left hand gloves forming pairs of disposable gloves are adapted to be dispensed from a single dispenser and are further configured to facilitate donning of each of the gloves with one hand so that a pair of gloves can be conveniently donned at one time. With such a configuration, refilling the glove dispensers and donning of a pair of gloves is less cumbersome than known disposable gloves. The right and left hand gloves may be coupled together by various conventional methods to form a glove pair that can be dispensed from a single dispenser. Each glove is formed from two sheets of plastic configured with a thumb portion and at least one finger portion. The bottom sheet includes a residual portion which remains on the dispenser after the glove is removed. The residual portion and the bottom sheet of the glove are separated by a line of weakness, such as a perforation. The residual portions of both the right and left hand gloves may be bound together with a binder, which may include a pair of holes for use with a dispenser. Alternatively, the bottom sheets of the right and left hand gloves may be formed from a continuous sheet of plastic with the mounting holes and lines of weakness disposed therebetween. In order to facilitate donning of each of the gloves with one hand, the glove opening of each glove is spaced away from the line of weakness. By configuring the right and left hand gloves to be dispensed by a single dispenser, both gloves can be essentially refilled at the same time and donned at the same time. In addition, the gloves in accordance with the present invention reduced the cost since only a single dispenser is required.
