<p>A glove blocking apparatus comprises a heated mandrel which consists of first and second separate glove receiving members. The glove receiving members can be moved between a first adjacent closed position and a second mutually separated position by power means. A glove to be blocked is mounted over the mandrel with the glove receiving members in their adjacent, closed position, and then the glove receiving members move to their separated position to stretch the glove. Stop means are provided to define the second, separate position so as to assist in determining the final size of the glove. There may be one such apparatus for stretching the palm portion of the glove in an endwise direction, and a second such apparatus provided with finger stall receiving formations, for stretching the glove and the finger stalls thereof in the face-to-face direction.</p> |
