a disposable rain poncho system includes a string of ponchos , frangibly interconnected , and arranged in a roll . the roll is mounted on a dispenser which allows access to an end poncho of the string whereby that poncho can be unrolled from the roll and torn from an adjacent poncho . the dispenser is mounted on a shoulder strap for enabling a vendor , or the like , to carry the dispenser while dispensing rain ponchos . the roll is shorter than the width of the ponchos , and the string of ponchos is , therefore , folded along at least one longitudinal crease .
