Patent ID: 7367064

Claim:
A method of making bibs comprising the steps of a. laminating by embossing an elongated continuously moving web of absorbent cellular tissue paper with an elongated web of plastic film, said embossing being carried out to create an array of spaced depressions of preselected geometry in the tissue paper web while heating the plastic film, so that the array of spaced depressions in the tissue paper web are pressed into the heated plastic film and adhered to the plastic film, leaving the portions of the tissue web surrounding the array of spaced depressions unaffected and retaining their original characteristics for absorption of liquids and other foods, thereby forming a continuously moving laminated web having tissue paper on one side and plastic on the other side; b. continuously spraying in the direction of travel of the laminated web on the plastic film side thereof, a biocompatible adhesive to one lateral edge thereof to form a stripe of adhesive along said lateral edge of the laminated web; c. covering the stripe of adhesive with a release tape at a spaced downstream point in the direction of travel of the laminated web; d. severing the laminated web transversely at predetermined longitudinal intervals to form individual bibs; and e. collecting the severed individual bibs.
