BIDIRECTIONAL DEVICE FOR CHANGING A HANDLING GLOVE, AND METHOD FOR REPLACING SAID GLOVE

摘要

A bidirectional device for changing a handling glove from inside to outside and from outside to inside a glove box under containment. The device is intended to replace a used glove (60) with a new glove. It includes a cuff (6) sealingly connected to a cuff sleeve (20) and a glove (60) of a flexible material sealingly connected to a glove sleeve (40). The glove sleeve includes externally clip-on contacts and the cuff sleeve includes bayonet type helical ramps (30). The clip-on contacts of the glove sleeve slip in the helical ramps of the cuff sleeves until the glove sleeve is latched forming, once assembled, a sealed whole called a wrist ring (10).

1. A bidirectional device for changing a handling glove from inside to outside a glove box and from outside to inside under containment, said device being intended to replace a used glove with a new glove, the bidirectional glove comprising:
a cuff sealingly connected to a shoulder ring sealingly mounted to a wall of a containment envelope sealingly connected to a cuff sleeve; and a glove of a flexible material sealingly connected to a glove sleeve, wherein the glove sleeve includes externally a predetermined number of clip-on contacts located on flexible sectors and the cuff sleeve, an inner surface of which is unobstructedly cylindrical, and wherein the glove sleeve further comprises internally a same number of bayonet type helical ramps for guiding the clip-on contacts in the anchor cavities which are constructed to latch the glove sleeve into the cuff sleeve, and which form, once assembled, a sealed whole called a wrist ring.
