Abstract

An ice cream cone product is provided having a sanitary paper jacket adhered thereto which is sufficiently adherent for shipping, handling and vending but which is selectively removable without leaving jacket remnants on the cone or cone remnants on the jacket. A jacket is telescopically juxtaposed over the cone after the jacket interior is applied with vaporized mixture of water and an adhesion-reducing agent. A conveyor for the cones, a timed dispenser and injector for placing the jackets alternately on the same conveyor with the cones, a device to combine each jacket with a cone and an accumulator for the jacketed cone product comprises the apparatus to practice the method.
