Abstract: A blank is provided for forming a disposable bib which can be dispensed from a roll or identical bibs. The blank is a sheet-like structure which has a neck portion forming an upper end thereof and an identical lower projecting portion forming a lower end thereof. Two selvedge portions form the side of the sheet-like structure, the inner boundaries of the selvedge being perforated so that when the perforation is broken, the selvedge portion ties around the neck of the user. The remainder of the blank forms the principal portion of the bib for catching food and the like.

Abstract: A drip catching device is provided for use with ice cream cones, comprising a planar member formed from a liquid absorbing material. The planar member has a plurality of intersecting slits formed therein for receiving a cylindrical or tapered ice cream cone. When the drip catching device is fitted around the ice cream cone, stresses which are set up in the drip catching device cause the planar member to take a substantially sinusoidal form and thereby fit snugly to the outer surface of the ice cream cone.
