       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION  
       [0004]     1. Field of the Invention  
         [0005]     The present invention relates to applications of fluid or powder substance onto a surface. More particularly, the present invention relates to a glove capable of housing a fluid or powder substance on the surface of the glove or within a chamber of the glove so that when the glove makes contact with the surface, the substance is released through a porous outer surface of the glove in order to allow the liquid to dispense upon the surface while the users hands inside the glove are protected from contact with the substance.  
         [0006]     2. General Background of the Invention  
         [0007]     In the art of dispensing fluid onto a surface such as furniture polish, oil, or other types of fluids, there has been developed articles which are coated or include substances which are utilized when the article contacts onto the target surface. The problems that have developed with this type of product, is that often times the product is unprotected and may be subject to the inadvertent contact before its intended use by the user. Additionally, the product, when it is inadvertently dispensed through contact, may become contaminated by contact with the air or other surfaces. In addition, there may be loss of product by evaporation if the product is not secured or is not sealed within the container from which it will be dispensed. Many products are caustic in nature with product application instructions recommending the use of gloves when the product is applied to a surface. (For example, when the product is applied to a cloth to disperse the product, product can easily contact the hands. The glove protects the hands.)  
         [0008]     Another problem which occurs with the prior art, is that the product, when it is dispensed, may inadvertently come into contact with the person who is wearing the product such as a glove or the like which may expose the wrists, arms or other body parts by the product leaking from the dispensing implement during application.  
         [0009]     For example, there is a semi-enclosed applicator as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,257,285, which is presented herein with the information disclosure statement submitted herewith, which does describe a semi-enclosed applicator worn on a persons hand. However, it is seen in that patent that the product has a tendency to seep into the interior of the glove or mitt through an unsealed aperture for the hand cavity while packaged prior to use. Furthermore, the &#39;285 patent provides no method to open the aperture and insert the hand without having a hand come into contact with the product on the outer surface. Therefore, there is a need in the industry for an applicator which may be fully enclosed prior to utilization, and which utilizes a selectively-activatable sheet material for dispensing and dispersing a substance onto the surface of a target object. Such an invention is disclosed in the present application.  
       BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PRESENT INVENTION  
       [0010]     The present invention solves the problem in the art in a simple and straightforward manner. What is provided is a dispensing applicator which is in the shape of a mitt or glove or the like, which may be worn by a person during the application process. The applicator includes a first fully closed opening which may be unsealed for placement of a persons hand therein; there is further provided a chamber adjacent to the hand containing portion, which has a barrier layer between the hand opening and the product dispensing chamber, so that product is unable to move from the dispensing chamber into the hand portion of the glove. There is further provided a plurality of openings on the outer surface of the product carrier portion, for selectively dispensing the product when the hand dispensing portion makes contact with the surface; there is further provided an outer sealing layer such as a foil layer, which is sealed around the fluid dispensing layer, so that fluid cannot be dispensed from the applicator until the foil is peeled from the dispensing surface; there is further provided a seal on the opening of the hand containing portion, so that the hand containing portion is also sealed until the user peels away the seal and inserts one&#39;s hands into the opening. There may be further provided that the mitt or glove be shaped into various forms depending on the user&#39;s desires, and that the product be dispensed from the product dispensing layer upon making contact with the surface and frictionally removing seals in the various openings so as to allow the fluid to flow from the openings onto the surface.  
         [0011]     Therefore, it is a principal object of the present invention to provide a fully enclosed applicator which contains multiple chambers which are sealed throughout prior to utilization of the applicator;  
         [0012]     It is another principal object of the present invention to provide an opening which when unsealed, a person&#39;s hand can be inserted therein without making contact with the fluid or powder portions of the applicator;  
         [0013]     It is a further object of the present invention to provide a cuff around the outer opening of the hand containing portion so as to allow the user to grasp the cuff portion (that does not contain any liquid or powder) to aid in inserting the hand into the glove, as well as protect the wrist and arm from fluid leaking past the cuff when the glove is in a vertical position.  
         [0014]     It is a further object of the present invention to provide an applicator which is sealed in foil or other containment pouch material when not in use, and when placed into use after the person&#39;s hand is inserted into the hand containing portion, the foil is peeled away from the applicator and the applicator may be put into use;  
         [0015]     It is a further principal object of the present invention to provide a fluid and/or powder applicator which includes a hand receiving portion and a fluid/powder containment portion having a distribution surface for distributing the substance onto a surface;  
         [0016]     It is a further object of the present invention to provide a substance applicator by hand, which is provided in various configurations of a mitt or glove depending on the user&#39;s choice.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION  
       [0032]      FIGS. 1-38  illustrate the preferred embodiments of the glove of the present invention designated by the numeral  10 . As illustrated in  FIG. 1 , glove  10  includes a finger mitt portion  12  and a thumb portion  14 , with an outer glove layer  16  of fabric or other material, and an end portion  18  wherein a user&#39;s hand would be slipped therein for use. The glove would have a sealed perimeter portion  20  which would be sealed completely around the mitt portion  12 , thumb portion  14  to the rear of the glove  10 . The rear of the glove is not permanently sealed so that a hand can be inserted into the glove. The rear  18  of the glove  10  will be temporarily sealed so that the substance cannot enter into the interior of the glove as will be stated further. There is included multiple layers  22  of the glove in its use. The end of the glove may include a cuff portion  19  to protect the hand of the user.  
         [0033]     In reference to  FIG. 2 , the outer glove layer holds substance (product) to be dispensed. This may be a single layer and thus be the product carrier layer as shown as  28  in  FIG. 3 , or be multiple layers as shown in  FIG. 22  for liquids and  FIGS. 35-38  for powdered material. The inner barrier layer  24  prevents substance from contacting the user&#39;s hand. The sealed perimeter portion is number  20 . The glove back  201  must be a barrier layer so that the product cannot penetrate into the interior of the glove. The glove back may be a single or multiple layer of any material or may be a duplicate construction as the glove face  200  so that the substance application can be accomplished from both face and back of the glove. The opening  202  is for the hand insertion at rear of the glove  18 .  
         [0034]     In  FIG. 3 , there is a single product carrier layer  28  and the barrier layer  24 . In the product carrier layer  28 , the material holds the product  27 . The material might be non-woven, needle punch, hydro spun fabric, sponge, or other porous material that will hold the product. Alternatively, as seen in  FIG. 4  there are dimples or protrusions where the product  27  held on the surface of the carrier layer with dimples or protrusions holding material away from the surface to be contacted by the product. The product releases when pressed against a contact surface. As seen in  FIG. 5 , the product  27  is held in open valleys or depressions. The product will be released when pressed against the surface as seen in  FIGS. 3-5 .  
         [0035]     Turning now to  FIG. 6 , there is seen the cuff  19  construction of the glove. The purpose of the cuff is to keep the substance from migrating to the inside of the glove while in use. It allows a user to hold the cuff portion at the rear of the glove  18  with one hand while inserting the other hand into the glove. The manufacturing options are such as seen in  FIG. 6  extend the inner barrier layer  24  past the rear end of the glove opening and fold it over at point  203  the glove face  16  or apply a separate barrier layer to the cuff portion.  
         [0036]     Alternatively, as seen in  FIG. 7 , one may fold the rear edge of the glove material (glove face  200  and/or back  201 ) over rear edge of glove openings so that the inner barrier layer  24  creates the cuff. In  FIG. 8 , there is illustrated a glove completely sealed off and would not contain the openings for the substance fluid or powder to disperse into the inner part of the glove prior to use. The inner barrier layer  24  prevents the substance from penetrating into the interior of the glove. The perimeter area  20  is sealed. A seal  62  along the rear portion of the glove completes the sealing. This seal  62  will later be opened to allow a hand to be placed into the glove as shown in  FIG. 16 . Such a seal  62  may be double sided tape, a zipper or heat seal. This seal  62  may be a separate seal, or it may be incorporated as part of the foil package seal as shown in  FIG. 17 .  
         [0037]     Turning now to  FIGS. 9 through 12 , it is foreseen that the glove  10  is seen as a mitt for example in  FIGS. 1 and 8 , with a single chamber for all fingers and a single chamber for the thumb, the glove may be configured in various other configurations.  FIGS. 9 through 12  illustrate a sample of these configurations but are by no means the only configurations possible. For example, in  FIG. 9  the glove  10  is illustrated as having five finger portions  11  and a palm portion  13  which would allow each finger to be individually contained within the glove and have individual movement therein. Whereas in  FIG. 10 , there is illustrated a modified mitt glove  10  having a thumb portion  14  and a pinky finger or second thumb portion  15  and the remainder of the fingers would be maintained within a pouch portion. The second thumb configuration would allow the use of both sides of the glove to apply the substance. In  FIG. 11 , there is illustrated what could be called a double mitt portion having a first mitt portion  12 A, a second mitt portion  12 B which would contain the four fingers and a thumb portion  14  which may contain the thumb and would be utilized giving the fingers some more leeway in the operation.  FIG. 12  shows a mitt configuration with the thumb contained within a single pouch portion with a rounded construction as shown in  FIG. 12A  or a square construction, as shown in  FIG. 12B .  
         [0038]     Reference is now made to  FIGS. 13 through 18 , where glove  10  is contained within a foil container or pouch  60 . The pouch may be foil or other packaging materials that will not allow the substance to penetrate the pouch. The pouch can be used for gloves with single or multiple product carrier layers. As illustrated first in  FIG. 13 , the glove  10 , containing the substance  29  within its containment pouch and sealed therein around its seal perimeter  20  and  62  is contained within the foil pouch  60 . There is provided a pouch seal  70  along its top edge to prevent the migration of product  29  from the glove and seal the glove into the pouch. This pouch seal  70  may be a double sided tape, a zipper, or heat seal, to seal the glove into the pouch. The foil package  60  includes an outside package seal  66  to seal the package around the perimeter. Foil package seal  66  intersects pouch seal  70  so that no product can escape from the pouch  60 .  
         [0039]     Turning now to  FIG. 14 , there is an overall view of pouch  60  as seen in  FIG. 13 , wherein there is included the seal foil layer  63  with the glove  10  sealed therein. Again, the glove  10  would be of the type as described herein. When one would want to have access to the glove, one would turn to  FIG. 15  where the seals  66  and  70  are peeled away at its end portion by a person  65 , making access to the glove within the pouch. Again, another view of the pouch  60  is seen in  FIG. 16 , where the two upper and lower layers  63  are peeled away. The glove  10  is exposed and a persons hand  65  can then be inserted into the opening  52  of the glove and the glove can be removed from the pouch without the hand coming into contact with the product.  
         [0040]     In  FIGS. 17 and 18  there are shown alternate constructions to that shown in  FIG. 14 . Rather than have a separate seal  62  at the end portion of the glove and a separate seal  70  along the top portion of the pouch, as shown in  FIG. 13 , there is a single combined pouch/glove seal  71  as shown in  FIG. 17 . This single seal  71  has the advantage of requiring the opening of one versus two seals to access the glove.  FIG. 18  shows the glove, including the cuff portion, totally enclosed within the pouch. This may be a configuration used for liquid or powder for multiple layer gloves where the substance is not exposed on the top layer of the glove.  
         [0041]      FIGS. 19 through 21  illustrate an alternative method of packaging the glove  10 . The purpose would be to reduce the size of the package and to save storage space and have less outside foil packaging material as was described earlier. For example, in  FIG. 19  there is seen a glove  10  in the unfolded position as was described in the earlier figures. However, in  FIG. 20 , the finger portion or mitt portion  12  of the glove has been folded onto the rear portion  18  of the glove which as compared with  FIG. 10  configures a much reduced size configuration.  FIG. 21  shows the glove folded in half vertically. Several folds may be utilized to reduce package size.  
         [0042]     In  FIGS. 22-34 , there is represented an additional embodiment of the glove of the present invention designated by the numeral  100 , which shows multiple layers required to dispense a liquid substance. In this particular embodiment of the glove  100 , glove  100  would be of a type of glove that would have a substance containment capsule  101  where the products should be dispersed therefrom.  
         [0043]     There are specific problems with caustic/corrosive substances in that the substance will not release until the glove contacts the target surface and/or containment capsule was purposely broken to release the caustic/corrosive substance. The release of substantially all of the substance must be done to saturate the glove. For example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,878,775, entitled “A Liquid Transfer Device”, one must break the micro-capsules and if the capsules are not broken, the small capsules or thicker capsules might be difficult to easily break. Likewise, in U.S. Pat. No. 6,099,940 entitled “A Selectively Activated Three-Dimensional Sheet Material Having Multi-Stage Progressive Activation to Deliver a Substance to a Target Surface”, shows a flowable substance, such as glue. The substance physically held within protrusions and valleys of material. The material is released when the protrusions are compressed and substance comes into physical contact with the target surface. The substance is selectively released only in the specific area contacted by the substance. The types of products which would be used for the caustic/corrosive materials would be such as oil based products or surfactants.  
         [0044]     In  FIG. 22 , there is seen an overall view of glove  100  with  FIGS. 23-25  illustrating isolated views of the glove construction itself. The glove  100  would be non-woven material, sponge or other material to distribute the substance. As seen in cross-section view in  FIGS. 24 and 25 , there would be first included a substance distribution layer  102 , a product separation layer  104 , an end seal  106  around the perimeter  108  of the substance containment capsule  101  and a barrier  110  which would separate the space  112  for the hand would be placed and then there would be the back side  114  of the mitt or glove  100 . As is noted, the product separation layer  104  physically holds the substance away from the distribution layer  102 . The material of the product separation layer  104  would be a polyethylene or polypropylene or other material depending on the substance. Ideally, the layer  104  can be manufactured so that the protrusions  116  as seen in isolated view in  FIG. 23  would be narrow at the tip  118  to be more readily break when pressure is applied, yet be thicker at the base  120  for added strength in holding the substance. For example, at tip  118  the thickness may be 0.0005 inches. The total height of the protrusion  116  would be 0.0065 inches and the thickness of the base  120  would be between 0.0010 and 0.0020 inches. This may be accomplished and manufactured by stretching the material by inserting a nail dye into the separation layer of material to make intermittent protrusions.  
         [0045]     Turning now to the barrier layer  110 , that layer  110  would protect hands from coming into contact with the substance contained within the substance containment capsule  101  and would provide a second side of disbursing layer to obtain substance in that the substance is contained between the product separation layer  104 , barrier layer  110  and the end seal  106  which forms a pattern within the glove  100 . The end seal  106  seals the substance at the end in any pattern design so that the substance  105  is contained within the product separation layer  104  and the barrier layer  110  in the end seal  106 . Again, referring to  FIGS. 22 and 24 , in  FIG. 22  is seen the overall glove or mitt  100  having a substance containment capsule  101 . The substance containment capsule  101  as seen in cross-section view in  FIG. 24  would include the product separation layer  104 , the end seal  106 , the substance  105  contained within the space  107 A and the barrier layer  110 . All of these layers would comprise the substance containment capsule  101  and would be overlayed by the substance distribution layer  102  as seen in the figures.  
         [0046]     Turning now to  FIG. 25 , one is seen where pressure has been put in the direction of arrows  130  to the substance  105  and the substance  105  then flows into the various protrusions  116  and ruptures the tips  118  of the protrusions  116  so that the substance  105  is dispersed within the distribution layer  102 , in the direction of arrows  103 . In disbursement of the substance  105  throughout the distribution layer  102 , the substance would then move out of the distribution layer and make contact with the surface to be treated. Of course, the rupturing of the various protrusions  116  is caused by pressure to a person&#39;s hand pressing within the glove space  112  during use. Again, the barrier layer  110  and the seal  106  would prevent the substance from making contact with the hand contained within space  112 .  
         [0047]     As seen in  FIG. 26 , the substance  105  would disperse throughout the mitt by breaking the protrusions in the product separation layer as seen by the arrow  103  as it flows through the various openings in the distribution layer  102  after it has flowed out of the substance containment capsule  101 . Again, as with the principal embodiment, there would be various shapes of gloves or mitts where these various shapes are shown in  FIGS. 22 through 26  of the glove or mitt  100 , each containing a substance containment capsule  101  with a distribution service  102  in various shapes.  
         [0048]      FIG. 27  illustrates an embodiment of the mitt  100  which would contain a substance containment capsule  101 . In this case, capsule  101  would be divided into a first substance portion  101 A and a second substance portion  101 B. Each of the portions  101 A and  101 B containing perhaps different substances  1  and  2 . The use of such a mitt would be to apply two different substances to the target surface and, for example, substance  1  may be needed to activate substance  2  in the other portion of the substance containing portion.  
         [0049]     For example, in  FIG. 28 , the glove  100  is a five-finger glove which would have a five-finger substance containment capsule  101  protruding into each of the fingers and along the palm or glove  100 . Whereas, in  FIG. 29 , there is illustrated a mitt wherein the entire user&#39;s hand would fit therein, again having a substance containment capsule  101  over the surface of entire distribution layer  102  of the entire mitt after the capsule has ruptured and the substance flows therefrom.  
         [0050]     In  FIG. 30 , again there is shown a different configuration of the mitt  100  having the substance containment capsule  101  having a pair of left and right finger members so the thumb and pinky finger would move into the two fingers and the three remaining fingers would be at the mid portion  112  of the glove  100 . Whereas in  FIG. 31 , there is seen the mitt separated into a pair of fingers  107 , again having a substance containment capsule  101  of the mitt  100  and the thumb portion  109  and two finger portions  107  of the mitt.  
         [0051]      FIG. 32  illustrates an alternative configuration where the substance containment space  101  contains capsules  205  filled with substance. Capsules  205  would be broken by squeezing the hand. While all capsules might not be broken, the nature of the substance or application problems might make this a desired alternative.  
         [0052]     In  FIG. 32  there is seen layer  101  having a substance distribution layer  102 , the barrier layer  110  and intermediate layer for capsules  205  filled with substance.  FIG. 34  shows the containment capsule  101  filled with capsules  205 . Some substances might require the use of capsules to effectively contain the product. In  FIG. 33  an alternative construction of the substance containment capsule for liquid or powder. The substance containment capsule  101  as seen in  FIG. 33  external contours of the glove, area  204 A is the ultimate substance containment capsule  101  across the entire width of the glove. While in  FIG. 34  the substance containment capsule  101  can also cover the entire face of the glove as substance containment area  204 B.  
         [0053]     Turning now to  FIG. 35 , there is an isolated view of a multi-layer fabric of the glove  100  utilized by releasing powdered materials which require activation. There are specific problems with powdered material which require activation. The powder must be contained within the glove  100  and not accidentally disperse within the container while in use. The powder must be activated by a second substance such as water or blood for use. Also, the activation substance must be able to come into contact with the powder and the powder/activation solution must be dispersed to the target surface. Examples of powder products requiring activation include blood coagulators, such as MDOC (micro-dispersed oxidized cellulose), powdered form which activates when put into contact with blood. Another type is water activated powder such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) or granular disinfectants, cleaners or powdered bleach products.  
         [0054]     As seen in  FIG. 35 , such a glove  100  would consist of three layers. Such a glove  100  that would be first with an outer distribution layer  120  which would be of a non-woven material, sponge or other material which would allow activation substances to flow through the layer to contact and activate the powder contained in the powder carrier layer  122  and would become a solution. This would allow the activated powder/activation substance solution to flow back through the distribution layer  120  to contact the target surface  124 . There would be further included a barrier layer  126  which again protects the hand of the user from coming into contact with the powder or the powder carrier layer  122  or the activation solution in the distribution layer  120 . For clarity, the powder carrier layer  122  would be a non-woven material sponge or PVA or other material that would hold powder until contact with the activation solution. Powder may adhere to the surface of the material or be encapsulated into the material. The layer may release powder into activation solution or may become part of the activation solution (such as PVA which dissolves when it comes into contact with water).  
         [0055]     The final product that will be discussed as part of the present invention is seen in  FIGS. 36 through 38 . This is a specialized glove  100  construction to arrest bleeding. Glove  100  would have a substance containment capsule  101  for releasing powdered materials and have an elongated sleeve portion  103 . As seen in  FIG. 36 , it would be any glove or mitt configuration and the material would be constructed of a stretch band non-woven with a linear elongation up to 16 inches to encompass all wounds for legs, arms, necks, heads or perhaps even longer for abdominal length depending on the user. As seen in  FIGS. 37 and 38 , the substance containment capsule  101  would be placed against a wound and the elongated sleeve portion  103  would be wrapped around a person&#39;s arm  140 . Finger and palm pressure is applied until the blood flow is reduced and then wrapped fully around the arm or leg, head or body, depending on the user, and would be secured by some method of attachment  204 , such as a clip, tape or other means for ongoing use as seen in  FIG. 38 . The method of attachment may be an integral part of the glove or may be a separate element. In this way, while the glove is serving as a tourniquet for stopping or reducing blood flow, the substance containment capsule  101  would be releasing powder materials and would be helping to treat the wound during use.  
         [0056]     It is foreseen that the general types of substances or product contained within the glove of the present invention may include, but not limited to, self-leveling liquids; thick atrophic material; shear thinning gels and pastes; powders, those types which may be applied directly to a surface or be treated or powders activated by placing the glove/mitt into water or other activation agents prior to use. As explained earlier, there may be several substances provided in a single glove for distribution. Further, the types of products which may be contained may included but not limited to disinfectants, cleaning agents, furniture polish, leather/vinyl polish or cleansers, anti-static products, ice-free products, medicinal agents, lubricants, colorants, protectants, condiments, bug repellant, deodorants, combinations of products and in general any product which may be applied to a surface.
