  • Patent number: 5530968
    Abstract: A commuter's apron provides for the containment of food and drink spillage for automobile and other vehicle drivers and passengers, while the vehicle is moving or stopped. The apron is preferably formed of a relatively thin sheet of polyethylene plastic or other material (e. g., coated paper or fabric), in order to be impervious to liquid and other spills. The upper and lower edges of each apron are congruent, thus enabling a plurality of the aprons to be die cut or otherwise formed continuously from a single elongate sheet or roll of sheet material with relatively little waste. All of the flat portions of the apron (i. e., the main body, pocket portion, and neck closure portion) are formed from a single, continuous sheet, with the only additional components required being tape or other means to close the neck closure portion and seal the sides of the pockets in the event heat sealing is not used.
