Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an expansion apparatus particularly, but not exclusively, for a flexible envelope such as a glove.
  • Glove manufacturing procedures conventionally process gloves in a collapsed condition from a chemical treatment and rinsing stage through to packaging. Advantage may, however, be gained if gloves are separated and mounted in an open configuration such as for a drying or cuffing process.
  • a mechanism is disclosed in US Patent No. 5,924,547 for automatically separating and correctly orientating gloves from a conveyor. Applicant is not, however, aware of any mechanism for subsequently manipulating the gloves into an expanded open configuration.
  • an expansion apparatus for expanding an envelope into an open configuration including an air flow guide and a gas displacement means, arranged to establish a gas flow through the guide with an annular pressure differential such that an open end of an envelope presented to the guide is caused to expand outwardly as a result of the pressure differential.
  • the guide includes a tubular portion with a baffle for deflecting air flow laterally of the tubular portion, to thereby create the pressure differential.
  • the baffle is adapted to receive the open end of the envelope in an expanded condition. More preferably, the baffle is removable for transporting the envelope away from the expansion apparatus. Alternatively, a separate transfer device is provided to remove the envelope from the baffle in the expanding condition.
  • the envelope is in the form of a glove and the invention, in another aspect, provides a method for expanding the glove by inserting an open end of the glove in the above described apparatus so as to expand the open end across the pressure differential.
  • Figure 1 is a diagrammatic cross-section of an apparatus of the invention.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates use of the apparatus of Figure 1.
  • An apparatus 1 is shown in Figure 1 as including an air flow guide 2 which is formed of a housing 3 comprising a tubular portion 4 with an outwardly divergent inlet 5 and a baffle 6 provided in an outlet 7.
  • An annular opening 8 is provided in a wall 9 of the tubular portion for directing pressurised air/gas from an air/gas displacement means 10, in the form of a pressure pump 11, axially through the housing 3.
  • the air injected in the housing 3 is deflected by the baffle 6, as indicated by flow lines 12 so as to create an annular pressure differential within the housing 3.
  • the differential pressure results in increased air velocity adjacent the wall 9.
  • a collapsed flexible envelope 20 which is shown in the form of a glove 21 may be lowered into the apparatus by the inlet, as indicated by arrow 22.
  • the glove is shown as being supported by a gripping device 23 which may, for example, be used to hold the glove 21 following separation from a conveyor (not shown) using a mechanism such as disclosed in US Patent No. 5,924,547.
  • the pressure differential established within the apparatus causes the end 24 to radially expand, in a direction indicated by arrows 30, into the expanded condition shown in Figure 2.
  • the glove is simultaneously inflated by virtue of air flow entrained to the interior of the glove.
  • the gripping mechanism 23 may then be released such that the glove, in the expanded condition, may be lowered down upon the baffle 6 which is preferably in an expanding cone shaped form for receipt of the glove.
  • the baffle 6 may then be removed to transport the glove away from the apparatus 1 for subsequent processing.
  • a separate transfer device (not shown) may be provided to remove the glove from the baffle 6.
  • the apparatus 1 may be utilised to expand any form of flexible envelope and need not be limited to the specific application of expansion of a glove.
  • the pressure pump 11 may be dispensed with and replaced with any other suitable form of displacement means such as a vacuum applied to the outlet 7 to achieve a similar pressure differential within the apparatus or such a vacuum may instead be used in combination with the pressure device.

Abstract

L'invention se rapporte à un appareil de dilatation (1) conçu pour dilater une enveloppe et pour lui faire adopter une configuration ouverte. Ledit appareil comporte un guide d'écoulement d'air (2) et un organe de déplacement de gaz (10), disposé de manière à établir un flux gazeux (12) dans le guide et à générer une pression différentielle annulaire telle qu'une extrémité ouverte (24) d'une enveloppe présentée au guide est contrainte de se dilater en raison de ladite pression différentielle. Cette pression différentielle est créée par déflexion autour d'un déflecteur (6).
