This invention relates to a mechanism for and method of applying and removing fluid impermeable gloves without the necessity of manually contacting the exterior of the gloves. The mechanism employed comprises a means for suspending and sealing a glove within a vacuum chamber and means for evacuating the chamber to outwardly distend the glove to a size greater than that of the user's hand. After the insertion of the hand into the distended glove, the chamber is restored to atmospheric pressure and the glove fits the hand due to the inherent resiliency of the previously distended glove. The hand, with the glove applied thereto, is simply removed from the chamber. A reversal of this procedure, i.e., inserting the gloved hand into the chamber evacuating the chamber, and removing the hand, leaves the glove suspended in the chamber. The present disclosure provides a novel, inexpensive, pedal-operated device for carrying out these functions simultaneously on both hands of a user.
