Description

La présente invention se rapporte au domaine de la puériculture. Elle porte particulièrement sur un bavoir amélioré.The present invention relates to the field of childcare. She particularly relates to an improved bib.

Les bavoirs généralement utilisés lors du nourrissage des bébés comprennent un écran, généralement une pièce de tissu, et un lien pour fixer l'écran autour du cou du bébé. Cependant, ayant ce lien autour du cou, le bébé ressent souvent une sensation d'étranglement ; or, le lien est d'autant plus serré que l'on souhaite ajuster suffisamment le bavoir autour du cou afin d'assurer une protection du bébé. Outre l'inconfort du bébé, cette sensation d'étranglement risque de provoquer des fuites lorsqu'il régurgite.Bibs typically used when feeding babies include a screen, usually a piece of cloth, and a tie to secure the screen around the baby's neck. However, having this bond around the neck, the baby often feels a feeling of strangulation; however, the tie is all the more tight as one wishes to sufficiently adjust the bib around the neck in order to ensure protection of the baby. Besides the baby's discomfort, this feeling of strangulation can cause leaks when he regurgitates.

D'autres types de bavoirs existent qui n'ont pas de lien mais deux pattes, chacune se positionnant sur un côté du cou du bébé. Ces bavoirs sont en une matière plastique suffisamment rigide pour que les pattes assurent la fixation du bavoir, sans qu'elles aient besoin d'être fixées entre elles à l'arrière du cou.Other types of bibs exist that do not have a link but two legs, each positioned on one side of the baby's neck. These bibs are made of a sufficiently rigid plastic so that the tabs ensure the attachment of the bib, without them needing to be fixed together at the back of the neck.

Cependant, du fait de leur rigidité nécessaire, ces bavoirs sont inconfortables et assurent une mauvaise protection du bébé. Les documents US2014250558 et JP2006299431 sont des exemples de l'état de la technique et décrivent des bavoirs selon le préambule de la revendication 1.However, due to their necessary rigidity, these bibs are uncomfortable and provide poor protection for the baby. The documents US2014250558 and JP2006299431 are examples of the state of the art and describe bibs according to the preamble of claim 1.

Le but de l'invention est de proposer un bavoir qui procure une bonne étanchéité autour du cou d'un bébé tout en lui assurant un confort suffisant.The object of the invention is to provide a bib which provides a good seal around the neck of a baby while ensuring sufficient comfort.

Pour atteindre son but, l'invention propose un bavoir, notamment pour le nourrissage d'un bébé, comprenant une pièce de tissu souple formant un écran pour protéger le torse du bébé et en outre une échancrure prévue pour venir à l'avant du cou du bébé, et, un col en silicone, en forme de croissant, prévu pour être monté dans l'échancrure et comprenant une marge interne qui dépasse du tissu, à l'intérieur de l'échancrure. La marge interne peut avoir une épaisseur comprise entre 0,2 et 0,7 millimètre, de préférence voisine de 0,4 millimètre.To achieve its goal, the invention provides a bib, in particular for feeding a baby, comprising a piece of flexible fabric forming a screen to protect the baby's torso and also a notch provided to come to the front of the neck. of the baby, and, a silicone collar, crescent-shaped, intended to be mounted in the notch and comprising an internal margin which protrudes from the fabric, inside the notch. The internal margin may have a thickness of between 0.2 and 0.7 millimeter, preferably close to 0.4 millimeter.

Le col comprend une marge externe, prévue pour venir se superposer avec la pièce de tissu. Cette marge externe peut avoir une épaisseur comprise entre 0,5 et 1,5 millimètre, de préférence voisine de 1 millimètre.The collar includes an external margin, designed to be superimposed with the piece of fabric. This outer margin may have a thickness of between 0.5 and 1.5 millimeters, preferably close to 1 millimeter.

Le col comprend un bandeau fixé à un bord de l'échancrure de préférence par couture, la marge interne s'étendant le long d'un premier bord du bandeau et la marge externe s'étendant le long d'un bord opposé du bandeau.The collar includes a band attached to an edge of the cutout preferably by stitching, the inner margin extending along a first edge of the band and the outer margin extending along an opposite edge of the band.

La pièce de tissu comprend avantageusement deux pattes s'étendant vers le haut et formant avec l'échancrure une ouverture, de préférence sensiblement circulaire, pour y loger le cou.The piece of fabric advantageously comprises two tabs extending upwards and forming with the notch an opening, preferably substantially circular, for accommodating the neck therein.

Les pattes peuvent comprendre des extrémités libres respectives qui forment entre elles un passage libre.The legs can include respective free ends which form a free passage between them.

Les pattes peuvent être symétriques entre elles, de sorte que le passage s'étend axialement et se positionne à l'arrière du cou.The legs can be symmetrical to each other, so that the passage extends axially and is positioned at the back of the neck.

Les pattes peuvent aussi être dissymétriques entre elles, une première patte s'étendant sensiblement jusqu'à une extrémité du col, la deuxième patte étant plus longue que la première de sorte que son extrémité libre sensiblement en vis-à-vis de l'extrémité libre de la première patte, le passage s'étendant latéralement relativement à l'ouverture. Cette disposition est plus pratique pour mettre en place le bavoir, lorsque l'on est à côté du bébé.The tabs can also be dissymmetrical with each other, a first tab extending substantially to one end of the neck, the second tab being longer than the first so that its free end substantially opposite the free end of the first tab, the passage extending laterally relative to the opening. This arrangement is more practical for fitting the bib, when you are next to the baby.

Plutôt que de laisser un passage libre, les pattes peuvent comprendre des extrémités libres prévues pour venir en recouvrement l'une de l'autre, ces extrémités comprenant de préférence des moyens de prise réciproque. Ces moyens de prise réciproque sont choisis de préférence parmi un bouton-pression, deux aimants et un complexe velours-crochet.Rather than leaving a free passage, the tabs may include free ends provided to overlap one another, these ends preferably comprising reciprocal engagement means. These reciprocal gripping means are preferably chosen from a press-stud, two magnets and a velvet-hook complex.

Dans un mode de réalisation sans patte, le bavoir peut comprendre deux manches tubulaires s'étendant en partie haute de l'écran.In an embodiment without a tab, the bib may include two tubular sleeves extending in the upper part of the screen.

Plusieurs modes d'exécution de l'invention seront décrits ci-après, à titre d'exemples non limitatifs, en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

Les figures 1 à 3 illustrent chacune un mode de réalisation respectif pour un bavoir 1 selon l'invention. Les bavoirs sont représentés tels qu'ils sont lorsqu'ils sont disposés sur une surface plane. Pour la commodité de la description, on appelle « haut » ce qui est qui est proche du haut de la planche de dessins et on appelle « bas » ce qui est plus proche du bas de la planche de dessins.The figures 1 to 3 each illustrate a respective embodiment for a bib 1 according to the invention. Bibs are shown as they are when placed on a flat surface. For convenience of description, what is called "top" is that which is near the top of the sheet of drawings and what is called "bottom" is what is closer to the bottom of the sheet of drawings.

Ces bavoirs 1 sont prévus pour protéger un bébé, et ses vêtements s'il est habillé, lors de son nourrissage. Dans ces trois premiers modes de réalisation, chaque bavoir comprend une pièce de tissu 2 et un col en silicone 3. La pièce de tissu 2 est découpée pour former d'une part un écran 4 et d'autre part des moyens 6 pour fixer cet écran autour du cou du bébé. L'écran 4 forme, dans sa partie haute, tout ou partie d'une échancrure 10, prévue pour venir devant le cou du bébé.These bibs 1 are designed to protect a baby, and his clothes if he is dressed, during his feeding. In these first three embodiments, each bib comprises a piece of fabric 2 and a silicone collar 3. The piece of fabric 2 is cut to form on the one hand a screen 4 and on the other hand means 6 for fixing this. screen around the baby's neck. The screen 4 forms, in its upper part, all or part of a notch 10, designed to come in front of the baby's neck.

La pièce de tissu 2 est souple. Le terme « tissu » doit être compris dans un sens large. La pièce peut être en un tissu éponge, en toile cirée, dans un « tissu » tissé ou non-tissé, en plastique, en matière organique, en papier.The piece of fabric 2 is flexible. The term "fabric" should be understood in a broad sense. The part can be in a terry cloth, in oilcloth, in a woven or non-woven "fabric", in plastic, in organic material, in paper.

Dans un premier mode de réalisation, illustré à la figure 1, les moyens de fixation comprennent deux pattes 6 s'étendant vers le haut en prolongement de bords latéraux 7 de l'écran 4. Les pattes sont symétriques l'une par rapport à l'autre, ayant chacune une forme en arc de cercle, de sorte qu'elles forment entre elles et avec l'échancrure 10 de l'écran 4 une ouverture circulaire 8 prévue pour le passage du cou du bébé. Chaque patte 6 a une extrémité libre 9. Les extrémités libres respectives des pattes sont en vis-à-vis l'une de l'autre et forme entre elles un espace 11 libre, prévu pour l'introduction du cou du bébé dans l'ouverture 8.In a first embodiment, illustrated on figure 1 , the fixing means comprise two tabs 6 extending upwardly as an extension of the lateral edges 7 of the screen 4. The tabs are symmetrical with respect to one another, each having an arcuate shape, so that they form between them and with the notch 10 of the screen 4 a circular opening 8 provided for the passage of the baby's neck. Each tab 6 has a free end 9. The respective free ends of the tabs face each other and between them forms a free space 11, provided for the introduction of the baby's neck into the opening 8.

Les bords latéraux 7 de l'écran sont sensiblement verticaux. L'écran 4 est bordé en bas par un bord inférieur 12 transversal sensiblement horizontal raccordé à chaque bord latéral par un bord de raccordement en quart de cercle.The side edges 7 of the screen are substantially vertical. The screen 4 is bordered at the bottom by a substantially horizontal transverse lower edge 12 connected to each side edge by a quarter-circle connecting edge.

Un même bord périphérique 14, refermé sur lui-même borde l'ensemble de la pièce de tissus 2. En partant du bord inférieur, le bord périphérique comprend successivement : un premier des raccords 13, un bord latéral 7, un bord extérieur d'une première patte 6, un bord contournant l'extrémité libre 9 de cette première patte, un bord intérieur 16 de l'ouverture 8, un bord contournant l'extrémité libre 9 de la deuxième patte, un bord extérieur de cette deuxième patte, le deuxième bord latéral 7, et le deuxième raccord 13, se refermant ainsi sur le bard inférieur 12. Le bord périphérique 14 habillé d'un biais 17, c'est-à-dire d'un ruban de tissu cousu sur elle-même à travers le bord périphérique 14.The same peripheral edge 14, closed on itself borders the whole of the piece of fabric 2. Starting from the lower edge, the peripheral edge comprises successively: a first of the fittings 13, a lateral edge 7, an outer edge of a first tab 6, an edge going around the free end 9 of this first tab, an inner edge 16 of the opening 8, an edge going around the free end 9 of the second tab, an outer edge of this second tab, the second lateral edge 7, and the second connector 13, thus closing on the lower bard 12. The peripheral edge 14 covered with a bias 17, that is to say with a strip of fabric sewn onto itself to through the peripheral edge 14.

Le col 3 utilisé dans ce premier mode de réalisation est plus particulièrement illustré à la figure 5. Il est de forme de croissant, sensiblement semi-circulaire. Il comprend :

  • un bandeau central 21 sensiblement circulaire ;
  • une marge interne 22 ; et,
  • une marge externe 23.
The neck 3 used in this first embodiment is more particularly illustrated on figure 5 . It is crescent-shaped, substantially semi-circular. He understands :
  • a substantially circular central strip 21;
  • an internal margin 22; and,
  • an external margin 23.

Le bandeau 21 est prévu pour être cousu avec le bord intérieur 16 de l'ouverture 8. La marge interne 22 s'étend le long du bandeau 21 ; elle a une largeur L22 sensiblement constante, mesurée perpendiculairement au bandeau 21, sauf aux extrémités 24 du col, ou sa largeur diminue progressivement. La marge externe 23 s'étend le long du bandeau 21 ; elle a une largeur L22 sensiblement constante, mesurée perpendiculaire au bandeau 21. L'épaisseur E22 de la marge interne 22 et l'épaisseur E23 de la marge externe 23 sont moins grandes que l'épaisseur du bandeau, ces épaisseurs étant mesurées perpendiculairement au plan de la figure. De préférence, l'épaisseur E22 de la marge interne 22 est moindre que l'épaisseur E23 de la marge externe 23.The band 21 is designed to be sewn with the inner edge 16 of the opening 8. The inner margin 22 extends along the band 21; it has a substantially constant width L22, measured perpendicular to the band 21, except at the ends 24 of the neck, or its width gradually decreases. The outer margin 23 extends along the strip 21; it has a substantially constant width L22, measured perpendicular to the strip 21. The thickness E22 of the internal margin 22 and the thickness E23 of the external margin 23 are less than the thickness of the strip, these thicknesses being measured perpendicular to the plane of the figure. Preferably, the thickness E22 of the internal margin 22 is less than the thickness E23 of the external margin 23.

Le col est monté sur le bavoir, tel qu'illustré à la figure 1, il occupe la partie basse de l'ouverture 8, dans l'échancrure 10 de l'écran 4 ; la marge interne 22 dépasse dans l'ouverture 8 et la marge externe 23 est superposée à la pièce de tissu 2. La pièce 2 étant uniquement cousue au bandeau 21 les marges 22, 23 sont sensiblement libres de prendre une forme adaptée à former une bonne étanchéité avec le cou du bébé.The collar is mounted on the bib, as shown on the figure 1 , it occupies the lower part of the opening 8, in the notch 10 of the screen 4; the internal margin 22 protrudes into the opening 8 and the external margin 23 is superimposed on the piece of fabric 2. The piece 2 being only sewn to the strip 21 the margins 22, 23 are substantially free to take a shape suitable for forming a good tightness with the baby's neck.

On va maintenant décrire un deuxième mode de réalisation pour un bavoir 1 selon l'invention, en référence à la figure 2, seulement en ce qu'il diffère du premier mode de réalisation.We will now describe a second embodiment for a bib 1 according to the invention, with reference to the figure 2 , only in that it differs from the first embodiment.

Dans ce deuxième mode de réalisation, une première patte 6A parmi les deux pattes 6 est tronquée, de sorte que son extrémité libre est sensiblement à la hauteur d'une extrémité 24 correspondante du col 3. L'autre patte 6B est allongée, de sorte que le passage 11 est disposé latéralement.In this second embodiment, a first leg 6A among the two legs 6 is truncated, so that its free end is substantially at the height of a corresponding end 24 of the neck 3. The other leg 6B is elongated, so that the passage 11 is disposed laterally.

Un troisième mode de réalisation, illustré à la figure 3, diffère du premier mode de réalisation en ce que le bord inférieur, au lieu d'être horizontal, a une forme de pointe diriger vers le bas.A third embodiment, illustrated on figure 3 , differs from the first embodiment in that the lower edge, instead of being horizontal, has the shape of a point pointing downwards.

On va maintenant décrire un quatrième mode de réalisation pour un bavoir 1 selon l'invention, en référence à la figure 4, seulement en ce qu'il diffère du premier mode de réalisation.We will now describe a fourth embodiment for a bib 1 according to the invention, with reference to the figure 4 , only in that it differs from the first embodiment.

Dans ce quatrième mode de réalisation, le bavoir 1 ne comprend pas de pattes. Il comprend deux manches tubulaires 31 s'étendant de part et d'autre de l'écran 4, dans sa partie supérieure. Les manches et un bord supérieur de l'écran forme une échancrure 10 dans laquelle est monté le col 3. L'échancrure 10 et le col ont sensiblement la même taille. Le dos du bavoir 1 est entièrement ouvert, de sorte que seules les manches 31 maintiennent le bavoir sur le col du bébé.In this fourth embodiment, the bib 1 does not include tabs. It comprises two tubular sleeves 31 extending on either side of the screen 4, in its upper part. The sleeves and an upper edge of the screen form a notch 10 in which the collar 3 is mounted. The notch 10 and the collar have substantially the same size. The back of the bib 1 is fully open, so that only the sleeves 31 hold the bib on the baby's collar.

Dans l'ensemble des modes de réalisation qui viennent d'être décrits, le col est disposé de sorte que, dans sa position d'usage, il vient en contact avec le cou du bébé. Le col adhère correctement à la peau du bébé, sans sensation anxiogène, c'est-à-dire qu'il protège le bébé de la sensation d'étranglement. Le col 3 ne fait pas le tour du cou car la sensation d'étranglement, comme les mouvements de déglutition sont à l'avant du cou.In all of the embodiments which have just been described, the neck is arranged so that, in its position of use, it comes into contact with the baby's neck. The cervix adheres well to the baby's skin, without feeling anxious, that is to say, it protects the baby from the feeling of strangulation. Collar 3 does not go around the neck because the sensation of strangulation, such as swallowing movements, is at the front of the neck.

On va maintenant décrire un deuxième mode de réalisation pour un col selon l'invention, en référence à la figure 6, en ce qu'il diffère du premier mode de réalisation précédemment décrit en référence à la figure 5.We will now describe a second embodiment for a neck according to the invention, with reference to the figure 6 , in that it differs from the first embodiment previously described with reference to figure 5 .

Dans ce mode de réalisation, la forme du col est sensiblement semi-elliptique, le grand diamètre étant vertical, c'est-à-dire que la forme du col, au lieu d'être sensiblement circulaire comme dans le cas de la figure 5, est étiré verticalement.In this embodiment, the shape of the neck is substantially semi-elliptical, the large diameter being vertical, i.e. the shape of the neck, instead of being substantially circular as in the case of the figure 5 , is stretched vertically.

Dans le premier mode de réalisation du col, illustré à la figure 5, les dimensions sont environ :

  • diamètre extérieur D21 du bandeau 21 : 110 mm
  • diamètre intérieur D22 de la marge interne 22: 80 mm
  • diamètre extérieur D23 de la marge externe 23: 126 mm
  • largeur L22 de la marge interne : 11,5 mm
  • largeur L23 de la marge externe : 8 mm

Bien sûr, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation préférés qui viennent d'être décrits mais, au contraire, l'invention est définie par les revendications qui suivent.Of course, the invention is not limited to the preferred embodiments which have just been described but, on the contrary, the invention is defined by the claims which follow.

Il apparaîtra en effet à l'homme de l'art que diverses modifications peuvent être apportées aux modes de réalisation décrits ci-dessus, à la lumière de l'enseignement qui vient de lui être divulgué.It will indeed appear to those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to the embodiments described above, in the light of the teaching which has just been disclosed to him.

Dans des bavoirs selon l'invention, l'étanchéité du bavoir est principalement assurée par le contact du col en silicone avec la peau du bébé. Il n'est donc pas utile de serrer le bavoir autour du cou. Ainsi, dans les exemples précédemment décrits, le bavoir n'est pas attaché autour du cou. Il est néanmoins possible de prévoir des pattes suffisamment longues pour que leurs extrémités libres puissent se superposer entre elles à l'arrière du cou, ces extrémités comprenant avantageusement des moyens de prise respective, par exemple un bouton-pression, deux aimants ou un complexe velours-crochet.In bibs according to the invention, the sealing of the bib is mainly ensured by the contact of the silicone collar with the baby's skin. It is therefore not useful to tighten the bib around the neck. Thus, in the examples described above, the bib is not tied around the neck. It is nevertheless possible to provide sufficiently long legs so that their free ends can be superimposed on each other at the back of the neck, these ends advantageously comprising respective gripping means, for example a press-stud, two magnets or a velvet complex. -hook.
