Abstract

A disposable, invertible, expandable, symmetrical, sleeved, collecting glove, providing the method and apparatus for grasping, removing, containing, and disposing of a targeted mass and is of the type having a glove (10) formed in a flattened elongated tubular plastic sleeve (11) which simultaneously communicates at its palm with an attached absorbent cover sheet (32) to grasp the mass. The glove is interchangeable in that it will fit either a right-handed or left-handed collector. The materials of the the glove and sleeve are of flexible, thin gauge plastic, sufficiently strong for the grasping region (26) to effectively grasp and envelope such a mass. In addition, a central process of inversion begins in the grasping region (26) of the sleeved glove, causing the grasping (26) to prolapse, creating a region of irregular folds (33) that can bulge and expand to increase capacity and absorbency. The sleeved glove will, at that moment, be converted into its own spacious inside-out bag for safe containment and disposal of the mass.
