MUMBAI, India, July 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521056728 A) filed by Parul University Parul Institute Of Engineering And Technology on June 12, 2025, for Automated Device And Method For Donning Gloves In Sterile Environments.
Inventors include Mrs. Lopa N. Patel; and Dr. Nitesh R. Patel.
The application for the patent was published on July 10, 2026, under issue no. 28/2026.
Abstract: The invention pertains to an automated device designed for donning gloves in sterile environments, enhancing hygiene and efficiency. The device features a vacuum chamber (1) for glove inflation, an inflatable ring mechanism (2) for cuff expansion, and proximity sensors (3) for detecting hand presence. A modular glove dispensing system (4) with a conveyor-driven module ensures continuous glove supply, while a servo motor (5) connected to a lead screw provides precise glove positioning. The vacuum control valve (6) regulates chamber pressure, and an outer casing (7) encloses the components. The system is activated by proximity sensors, facilitating glove inflation and replacement. The glove loading door (8) and ergonomically designed hand insertion area (9) enhance user interaction. The iris and gear housing (10) and roller mechanism (11) ensure smooth operation, while the inflatable ring (12) and vacuum chamber (13) maintain glove integrity. The method involves sensor detection, glove inflation, hand guidance, and automatic glove replacement.
