A glove stripping apparatus for fully stripping from a series of dip moulding formers a corresponding series of partially stripped elastomeric dip-moulded gloves each having a downwardly hanging cuff end portion of said glove, each of said cuff end portions having opposite first and second sides (9, 9') and being terminated at a beaded cuff end, the apparatus comprising: - a gripper having a first gripping member and a second gripping member, at least one of said gripping members being moveable relative to the other one of said gripping members for gripping said opposite first and second sides (9, 9') of at least one of said downwardly hanging cuff end portions, the gripper being movable away from said former during stripping of said glove; - an open space (35, 65), said open space extending in a first direction away from said first side, the gripper being horizontally movable in said open space in said first direction during said stripping; and - an actuation system (31, 32, 33, 50), said system comprising at least one actuator (31, 32) for driving movement of at least one of said first and second gripping members (24, 26) during gripping of said cuff end portion and for driving movement of the gripper during said stripping, and a controller for controlling said movements during gripping and stripping of said glove; wherein the actuation system (31, 32, 33, 50) is configured to use said first and second gripping members (24, 26) to grip said cuff end portion and then to move the gripper in said open space (35, 65) substantially horizontally in said first direction during said stripping; characterised in that: the glove stripping apparatus further comprises an abutment, the abutment being located proximate said first side of said downwardly hanging cuff end portion; and said open space (35, 65) extends beneath the abutment; wherein said movement of the gripper in said open space (35, 65) substantially horizontally in said first direction during said stripping pulls said first side against the abutment so that a first stripped portion of said glove extends generally sideways between said first and second gripping members (24, 26) and the abutment, and a second stripped portion of said glove extends generally upwards between the abutment and said former, until said glove is fully stripped by said substantially horizontal movement of the gripper. - a gripper having a first gripping member and a second gripping member, at least one of said gripping members being moveable relative to the other one of said gripping members for gripping said opposite first and second sides (9, 9') of at least one of said downwardly hanging cuff end portions, the gripper being movable away from said former during stripping of said glove;
