I take it you mean the term "and loose equipment", as the term "equipment and" does not appear in the quoted rule.

To me, "...takes his glove and loose equipment to the bench at the end of his term in the field" is referring to between half-innings and applies to an action once the game has started.

I've never run across this being a problem before the game even starts, and certainly never had a case where a coach made his players remove their loose gear from the field before a game started, just to comply with rule 10-2-3a!

Is this really causing a problem for folks out there- one big enough or frequent enough to warrant a rule change?
