As another embodiment, the body strap parts 221 may be tied and fixed behind the baby's torso.
The cover part 300 is detachably coupled to a bottom end of the wearing part 200. The cover part 300 is formed to be hung on a front end part of an upper surface of the dining table 10 and cover the same. When the bib 100 is worn, the cover part 300 together with the extension part 220 covers an upper surface of the dining table 10, thereby preventing the dining table 10 from getting dirty due to food spilled by a baby.
A zipper part 400 is formed between the wearing part 200 and the cover part 300. As needed, only the wearing part 200 may be used, or the wearing part 200 and the cover part 300 may be used together by connecting the cover part 300 to a bottom end of the wearing part 200.
For example, a pair of zipper tapes 410 may be provided to respectively correspond to a bottom end of the wearing part 200 and a top end of the cover part 300 and face each other, as shown in the drawing. In addition, a zipper slider 420 for opening and closing the pair of zipper tapes 410 is mounted to slide along the zipper tapes 410.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the pair of zipper tapes 410 may be opened and closed by a pair of zipper sliders 420 whose opening and closing directions are opposite to each other. For example, the zipper sliders 420 on a left side of the drawing open the pair of zipper tapes 410 when moving to the left, and close the pair of zipper tapes 410 when moving to the right. Conversely, the zipper sliders 420 on a right side of the drawing open the pair of zipper tapes 410 when moving to the right, and close the pair of zipper tapes 410 when moving to the left.
In this case, an opening part 350 (see FIG. 8 ) may be formed between the extension part 220 and the cover part 300 by moving the pair of zipper sliders 420 away from each other, and tableware 20 (see FIG. 8 ) may be placed on a top surface of the dining table 10 exposed through the opening part 350 when eating. The size of the opening part 350 may be adjusted by adjusting a distance between the pair of zipper sliders 420 according to the size of the tableware 20, which will be described again with reference to FIG. 8 .
A pocket-shaped insertion part 500 is formed on a back side of the cover part 300. The insertion part 500 serves to wrap and cover a front end part of the dining table 10, and movement of the cover part 300 may be prevented by inserting the front end part of the dining table 10 into the insertion part 500.
Here, the insertion part 500 includes a hook part 510 extending rearward, upward from a bottom end of the cover part 300 to be spaced apart by a predetermined distance from the cover part 300; and a pair of side parts 520 respectively formed on opposite sides of the hook part 510 along the edges of the hook part 510 and the cover part 300. In addition, a space, into which a front end part of the dining table 10 is to be inserted, is partitioned due to the hook part 510, the cover part 300, and the side parts 520 on opposite sides of the hook part 510.
As another embodiment of the present invention, the wearing part 200 and the cover part 300 may be naturally formed in an integrated shape.
FIGS. 5 and 6 illustrate use states of an insertion part whose side part widths are adjusted according to the thickness of a dining table, specifically illustrate a state in which the wearing part 200 is separated from the cover part 300 and a front end part of the dining table 10 is inserted into the insertion part 500.
A pair of third coupling members 521 may be provided to be spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance in a width direction on opposite upper end sides of the side parts 520. The width of the side parts 520 may be adjusted according to the thickness of an upper surface of the dining table 10 by coupling the pair of third coupling members 521 to each other, or the insertion part 500 may be firmly fixed. For example, when the thickness of an upper surface of the dining table 10 is thin, the widths of the side parts 520 may be reduced by coupling the pair of third coupling members 521 to each other as shown in FIG. 6 . The third coupling members 521 may be snap buttons corresponding to each other, or various coupling means, such as a Velcro tape, may be applied.
FIG. 7 illustrates a use state of an insertion part whose width is adjusted using a drawstring. Specifically, a top end of the hook part 510 is provided with the drawstring 511, and one side of the drawstring 511 is provided with a string fastener 512 for length adjustment of the drawstring 511. When a plate width of the dining table 10 is narrow, the width of the insertion part 500 may be reduced by pulling and tightening the drawstring 511, and the cover part 300 and the insertion part 500 may be brought into close contact with the dining table 10 to prevent movement of the cover part 300.
FIG. 8 illustrates a use state wherein an opening part is formed in a cover part according to an embodiment of the present invention.
In the case of a dining table 10 or tableware 20 for babies, anti-slip treatment is applied to a top surface of the dining table 10 or a bottom surface of the tableware 20 to prevent slipping. For example, an adsorption part made of a synthetic resin material, such as rubber or silicone, may be formed on an upper surface of the dining table 10 or a bottom surface of the tableware 20, or tableware for babies (so-called “absorbent tableware”) made of a non-slip synthetic resin material such as rubber or silicone may be provided.
In this case, it is necessary to expose the top surface of the dining table 10 through the cover part 300 or extension part 220 for covering the top surface of the dining table 10 so that the tableware 20 and the top surface of the dining table 10 are in direct contact with each other. The opening part 350 of the bib 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is formed by opening the zipper part 400 formed between the wearing part 200 and the cover part 300. Movement of the tableware 20 can be prevented by directly seating the tableware 20 on the top surface of the dining table 10 exposed through the opening part 350. In addition, the size of the opening part 350 may be adjusted by adjusting an interval between the pair of zipper sliders 420 according to the size of the tableware 20.
FIG. 9 illustrates a perspective view of a baby bib whose wearing part is provided with arm insertion parts according to another embodiment of the present invention.
According to another embodiment of the present invention, a pair of arm insertion parts 600 may be formed on opposite sides of the body part 210. The arm insertion parts 600 may be formed integrally with the body part 210. As another embodiment, the arm insertion parts 600 may be separably coupled to the body part 210 through a coupling member such as a zipper, a Velcro tape, or a snap button.
In this case, both arms of the baby are respectively inserted into the arm insertion parts 600 when worn, and thus, it is possible to prevent saliva, snot, food, etc. from being deposited on the arms of the baby.
For example, the bib 100 may be used as an apron such as an art gown by separating the cover part 300 from the wearing part 200, and, in this case, it is possible to prevent dirt, such as paint, from splashing on the baby's arm.
Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, it will be understood that those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains can implement various modifications without departing from the scope of the claims of the present invention.
