Abstract:
An apron dispensing system comprising:a container; and first and second aprons each having a stored state and a usable state, the first and second aprons each comprising a sheet and at least one of a) a strap that is extendable around the neck of a wearer, b) a strap that is extendable around the torso of a wearer and, c) a strap that is extendable around at least one of a leg and an arm of a wearer to maintain the sheet in a protective covering position over a part of wearer with the apron in a usable state, the first and second aprons being engageable each with the other and cooperating with each other and the container so that a) with the first and second aprons in the stored state in the container the first apron has an exposed portion that can be grasped to separate the first apron from the container by drawing the first apron substantially in a first direction and in a first line, and b) continuous movement of the first apron in the first direction in the first line causes the first apron to i) draw the second apron relative to the container so that an exposed portion of the second apron becomes accessible to be grasped to separate the second apron from the container and ii) fully separate from the second apron.
