Independent Claim
184 words
A roll of plastic film aprons comprising an elongated strip of plastic film folded in half longitudinally and wound in said longitudinally folded form as a roll on a core or roller, said folded film having a plurality of perforations extending transversely thereto at predetermined longitudinally spaced intervals to facilitate tearing discrete portions of plastic film from the roll, said folded plastic film having a plurality of perforations adjacent to each set of transversely extending perforations extending from the edge fold to define a subSequently removable portion of plastic film which when removed leaves an opening at said edge, said folded plastic film having an arcuate cut-out portion beginning at each set of transversely extending perforations and extending parallel to the edge opposite said fold, curving transversely, and then extending back to said transversely extending perforations, to define tie straps at one side, said plastic film being severable from said roll and the portion defined by said perforations being removable to define an apron having tie straps extending upward from a base portion and having a central neck opening, when the film is unfolded.
