Sanitizing Glove

Abstract

A system for sanitizing surfaces; the system includes a glove, or a pair of gloves having a sanitizing fluid dispenser, a pouch containing sanitizing fluid and attached to the glove(s), and a conduit fluidly connecting the sanitizing fluid dispenser with the sanitizing fluid in the pouch. The system is useful for providing a wearer of the glove(s) with a means to easily sanitize or disinfect surfaces.

What is claimed is new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent is set forth in the appended claims: 
     
         1 . A system for sanitizing surfaces comprising:
 at least one glove including a hand portion having a rear side and a palm side, and a set of five-digit portions attached to the hand portion, the at least one glove being defined by at least an inner layer and an outer layer, the inner layer configured for contact with a hand of a wearer of the at least one glove, the outer layer including sanitizing fluid outlet means;   a pouch attached about the hand portion of the at least one glove, the pouch including an inner-capacity configured to store a sanitizing fluid; and   a conduit means located in the at least one glove, the conduit means fluidly connecting the inner-capacity of the pouch with the sanitizing fluid outlet means; and   wherein upon actuation, at least one dose of the sanitizing fluid moves from the inner-capacity of the pouch, through the conduit means and out through the sanitizing fluid outlet means to sanitize a surface.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the inner layer is impervious to the sanitizing fluid so as to protect the hand of the wearer from the sanitizing fluid. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the inner layer comprises a rubber material. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the conduit means is located between the inner layer and the outer layer. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the sanitizing fluid outlet means includes at least one aperture located about a bottom of the outer layer of the at least one glove. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the at least one aperture is located on each fingertip of the set of five-digit portions. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 6 , wherein the at least one aperture is a plurality of apertures. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein the bottom of the outer layer comprises a semi-absorbent material configured to minimize sublimation of the sanitizing fluid. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of a top of the outer layer comprises a breathable material configured for extended comfort for a wearer of the at least one glove. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the pouch is removably attachable to the at least one glove via a fastener. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the pouch is attached to the rear side of the hand portion. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein pouch is integral to the at least one glove. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 12 , wherein the pouch is attached to the palm side of the hand portion. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein the pouch includes a leakproof closure-mechanism configured for selectively providing access to the inner-capacity. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the inner-capacity of the pouch is refillable with the sanitizing fluid via the leakproof closure-mechanism. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the actuation is pressure on the pouch. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 15 , wherein the actuation is via gravity. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one glove is a pair of said gloves. 
     
     
         19 . A system for sanitizing surfaces comprising:
 at least one glove including a hand portion having a rear side and a palm side and a set of five-digit portions attached to the hand portion, the at least one glove being defined by at least an inner layer and an outer layer, the inner layer configured for contact with a hand of a wearer of the at least one glove, the inner layer being impervious to the sanitizing fluid so as to protect the hand of the wearer from the sanitizing fluid, a bottom of the outer layer comprising a semi-absorbent material configured to minimize sublimation of the sanitizing fluid, the outer layer including a sanitizing fluid outlet means, the sanitizing fluid outlet means having at least one aperture located about the bottom of the outer layer of the at least one glove, the at least one aperture being located on each fingertip of the set of five-digit portions;   a pouch attached to the rear side of the hand portion of the at least one glove, the pouch being removably attachable to the at least one glove via a fastener, the pouch including an inner-capacity configured to store a sanitizing fluid; and   a conduit means located in between the inner layer and the outer layer of the at least one glove, the conduit means fluidly connecting the inner-capacity of the pouch with the sanitizing fluid outlet means; and   wherein upon actuation via pressure on the pouch, at least one dose of the sanitizing fluid moves from the inner-capacity of the pouch, through the conduit means and out through the sanitizing fluid outlet means to sanitize a surface.   
     
     
         20 . A system for sanitizing surfaces comprising:
 at least one glove including a hand portion having a rear side and a palm side and a set of five-digit portions attached to the hand portion, the at least one glove being defined by at least an inner layer and an outer layer, the inner layer configured for contact with a hand of a wearer of the at least one glove, the inner layer being impervious to the sanitizing fluid so as to protect the hand of the wearer from the sanitizing fluid, a bottom of the outer layer comprising a semi-absorbent material configured to minimize sublimation of the sanitizing fluid, the outer layer including a sanitizing fluid outlet means, the sanitizing fluid outlet means having at least one aperture located about the bottom of the outer layer of the at least one glove, the at least one aperture being located on each fingertip of the set of five-digit portions;   a pouch attached to the palm side of the hand portion of the at least one glove, the pouch being integral to the at least one glove, the pouch including an inner-capacity configured to store a sanitizing fluid; and   a conduit means located in the at least one glove, the conduit means fluidly connecting the inner-capacity of the pouch with the sanitizing fluid outlet means; and   wherein upon actuation via gravity, at least one dose of the sanitizing fluid moves from the inner-capacity of the pouch, through the conduit means and out through the sanitizing fluid outlet means to sanitize a surface.
