ABSTRACT:
A dispensable, disposable reversible forearm protector is made up from continuous webs of composite material. Each of two laminated webs, comprised of a layer of soft, absorbent paper toweling or the like and a moisture impermeable layer of thermoplastic or similar material, is arranged face-to-face with the other and joined by heat sealing or other means along generally transverse strip-like bonding areas of the web to form rectangular or trapezoidal segments of the web. Lines of weakness running along the strip-like bonding areas allow successive segments to be detached from the web. Each segment forms a flat, tubular element, which is expandable to circular form so as to receive the hand and forearm of a user. The device may be easily turned inside-out, so that the respective layers of absorbent material and moisture impermeable material may be placed on the inside or the outside as desired. The bonding area at one side may be relatively weaker, allowing the bond at that side to be separated and the tubular article to be opened to flat form. Secondary lines of weakness, provided along the edge margin of the weakened bond, define separable, flexible tie strips, allowing the article to be alternatively employed as a bib or small apron. The device is economical to produce and convenient to use and dispose of.
