Abstract: An absorbent apron for use beneath an infant high chair or the like comprising a liquid impervious sheet and a liquid absorbent non-woven layer of bonded fibrous material firmly joined throughout their interface.The liquid impervious sheet is preferably a thin flexible film of polyethylene. The fibrous layer is composed of cellulosic or similar fibers of varying length thoroughly bonded together into a highly absorbent layer between 1/16th and 1/8 of an inch in thickness. The impervious sheet and the absorbent layer are joined together throughout their interface by spaced beads or lines of adhesive or by the polyethylene film being extruded directly onto the layer of bonded fibrous material.The apron is approximately five feet square so that when placed beneath a higher chair, it will receive and retain all of the food and liquids dropped or spilled by the infant in the high chair. Being inexpensive and flexible, the apron can be readily wadded up and disposed of after use.
