Disposable bib and method for making the same

Abstract

A one piece bib having slits for providing a head opening and having a pocket for catching spilled food and the like is made from a single sheet. The lower longitudinal edges of a generally oblong sheet are cut away on the bias; the sheet is folded on the longitudinal center line and the lower edges are sealed together. When the sheet is unfolded, a V-shaped pocket has been formed to stand open to receive any food that has been spilled by the wearer. In the method of making the bib slits may be cut in an elongated sheet adjacent its upper edge to define a head opening. In the same operation, longitudinal edge portions or corners at the lower end are cut off on a bias, and folds are formed at the longitudinal center line and from the longitudinal center line to opposite edges of the bib at the upper severing points where the material is cut away. The sheet is then folded along the center line and the lower edges are sealed. When the bib is unfolded a V-shaped pocket has been formed.
