Abstract

Apparatus for applying an elastic band around the cuff of an elastic glove which includes extruding a stripe of elastomeric material around the cuff of the glove while on a glove form and curing the stripe. A tray carrying a row of glove forms, each having a glove thereon, is stopped to position one of the forms at a band applying station. A mast having an extruder nozzle adjacent the cuff edge is moved circumferentially about the cuff in a generally elliptical path to avoid engagement with adjacent forms while allowing the forms to be closely spaced for economical manufacturing.
