US Patent 6932253 Automatic gloving apparatus

An automatic gloving apparatus includes a glove storage portion in which a plurality of gloves are stored. A glove conveying mechanism takes out one of the gloves stored in the glove storage portion and conveys the glove to a hand insertion position where a hand can be inserted into the glove, and a glove holding mechanism opens the mouth of the glove in the hand insertion position so that the hand can be inserted into the glove through the mouth. Air is intermittently blown into the glove held by the glove holding mechanism through an air-blow port provided in the glove holding mechanism.
