Abstract
An accessory attachable to a glove dispensing box singularizes dispensing of gloves therefrom. The accessory includes a frangible cover comprising a longitudinal slit or perforation positioned over a dispensing region of the box. As a selected glove is removed, sides of the opened longitudinal slit or perforation exert a frictional resistance that scrapes away and prevents dispensing of additional gloves that may have mutually attached themselves to the selected glove. The frangible cover can be approximately rectangular and comprise a single longitudinal perforation or slit, or a round or square cover comprising a plurality of radially extending slits or perforations. The frangible cover can be attachable by an adhesive, or a sleeve into which the box is removably inserted. An orthogonal slit or perforation transverse to the longitudinal slit or perforation can enhance access to the box interior. The frangible cover can be at least 0.003 inches thick.
