摘要 |
The invention relates to a disposable bib, comprising a laminated, thin material, e.g. plastic-coated tissue paper, one end of which is folded to form a collection pocket (18), the other end including means for attaching the bib round a wearer's neck. The bib (14) is formed from a section (5) cut from a web (1) of said material, the section being folded along its longitudinal axis of symmetry (15) to form a shape substantially that of a right-angled triangle, the base portion (20) of which, along its free edge region (23) perpendicular to the fold line (15), has at least this free edge region of its two halves joined together to form the collection pocket (18), this pocket being opened automatically and remains in an open attitude when the bib (14) is opened out to its full width. The invention also relates to a method and apparatus for producing disposable bibs from the material web comprising a barrier layer (2) and an absorption layer (3), preferably plastic-coated tissue paper. |
