Abstract:

An apparatus for removing a glove from a hand and retaining it in position includes a housing and a pair of self-facing arcuate members disposed on the inside thereof of opposite side walls of the housing. A plurality of downward facing bristles are attached to a lower portion of each of the arcuate members that are disposed in close proximity to each other. When a gloved hand is inserted into the device in a downward directions the arcuate members flex in toward the side walls to accommodate the gloved hand and the bristles allow for easy downward passage. When the hand is then withdrawn in an upward direction, the arcuate members force the bristles to bear into the glove preventing the glove from being extracted in an upward direction. Accordingly, the glove is retained in the device as the hand is pulled upward out from the device. Foam spacers provide additional force to urge the arcuate members toward the glove.

Abstract:

An apparatus for the support of a caulking gun includes an opening at a top-end thereof adapted to receive the caulking gun. A ring defines the opening, according to a first embodiment and a sock portion is attached to the ring and extends therefrom a predetermined distance. A belt loop is attached to the apparatus and is used to attach it to a belt of a user. A cup is disposed distally from the opening under a tip of the caulking gun and is used to catch and retain any caulk that may drip from the gun. The cup is either periodically cleaned and re-used or disposed of, as desired, and a new one inserted. The cup is secured in place by a VELCRO fastener system. The sock portion is preferably made of canvas and includes a second opening at a distal end thereof and a second VELCRO fastener at said distal end to secure the second opening in a closed position. According to a modification, the ring portion is extended into a cylinder and a sleeve to hold a plunger and a pouch to hold a retractable knife are each attached to the cylinder. An extension, similar to the sock portion but shorter in length, is attached to the cylinder, as desired, for use with conventional types of caulking guns.
