116 is opened and closed the hinged lid 116 also includes a front panel 118 which helps control air flow during operation of the glove dispensing apparatus 100 as discussed further below the glove inflating chamber 105 also includes internal air flow control walls 120 122 which are shaped to generally closely conform to an outer profile of a glove in this embodiment the glove inflating chamber 105 is located about a cutout 124 in the floor plate 126 upon which the ox shaped glove inflating chamber 105 is located the floor plate is located above a base plate 128 thereby defining a recessed platform area 130 in which a stack of gloves may be placed in preparation for glove donning stack not illustrated for clarity see example stack details in fig5 6a fig2 and 3 show front elevation and side elevation views respectively of the fig1 embodiment the fig2 view in particular shows the relatively constrained size of the front opening 132 a feature which enhances air flow about the open end of the top glove in the stack of gloves the configuration of the front opening 132 also illustrates a feature of the present invention the lack of reliance on a completely sealed operating environment to ensure adequate inflation of the glove for hand insertion unlike the case in the patents identified above this greatly reduces the design complexity and operational issues as there is no need for installation or other handling of the gloves in order to prepare them for mounting in a sealing.
