| Abstract: |
An improved disposable two-piece hospital gown which may be inexpensively produced from sheets of cloth or paper material. The blouse is formed of a single sheet of material, initially of rectangular shape that is cut and folded, with adhesive or Valcro bands serving to fasten the sides of the blouse together. The material cut out of the neck section of the blouse remains attached to the front of the blouse and serves as a bib. The pants section of the gown is formed of two separate sheets of rectangular material that are identically cut and notched, so as to fasten together in the crotch section of the pants, with Velcro straps or adhesive means employed to fasten the sides of the pants together.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:
1. A hospital gown which is formed of sheet material of two-part construction comprising
- a blouse section which is formed from a sheet of material in which a neck opening is formed together with
- a pants section which is formed from two similar rectangular sheets, each of which is cut and shaped to form a pants leg, such that two pants leg sections are joined together in interlocking fashion and without waste of any material to form a completed pants, where
- each said rectangular sheet is bound by a top edge, two side edges and a bottom edge, with a slit formed in the sheet that extends from the mid section of the top edge of the sheet to the mid section of the sheet, said slit joining a curved slit which bounds an inverted U-shaped section of sheet that is joined to the rectangular sheet along a crotch line generally parallel to the top and bottom edges of the sheet, said U-shaped section forming a tab when folded about said crotch line, with
- each said pants leg section formed by folding a said sheet about an axis parallel to the two side edges of the sheet, with the side ends bounded by the side edges of the said sheet joined together, such that the bottom edge of the sheet is formed in a continuous closed loop and the top edge of the sheet is formed in an open U-shaped configuration;
- said pants section being formed by the joining together of a first and a second such pants leg section, with the two joined sections oriented together along their respective crotch lines to form a common crotch line, and with the top edges of both pants leg sections lying on a common plane, and interlocked by the tabs of both sections folded about the common crotch line so that the tab of a first leg section is folded over the common crotch line of both sections with said tab overlying the folded tab of the second leg section which is bent inside the second leg section, and with the adjacent sides of each pants leg section, that are bounded by the top edges of each pants leg section and by the adjoining edges of the slit in each pants leg section, fastened together in overlapping configuration to form the upper front and upper rear sections of the pants section, with the said upper front and upper rear sections being reinforced by the overlapped sections of sheet.
