Description

The present invention relates to a bib suitable for being worn by infants, elderly and disabled persons with physical disabilities, patients with dementia, and the like.

Bib is usually placed so that the front part is on the chest of the wearer, i.e., just below the chin. Button ends of the neck hanging parts extending from the left and right upper ends of the section, or the front end of the neck hanging part extending from the upper left end or the upper right end of the front hanging part and the receiving part of the upper right end or the upper left end of the front hanging part Equivalent to install.

However, if the wearer repeatedly twists the neck left or right or twists the upper body to the left or right, the bib rotates to the left or right around the neck and the front part is displaced and is located directly under the chin. It is often lost and not used.

In order to prevent such a shift of the bib due to the rotation, a bib is known in which a bib is fixed by turning a string based on the right and left lower ends of the front of the bib on the back side of the trunk. However, there is a problem in that a knot is generated because the strings from the left and right lower ends are tied on the back. Furthermore, in the case of a bib with a short length, there is also a problem that it is not possible to attach a string to be turned around the chest.

Also, the bib has a folded piece at the upper end of the front hanging part, and the folded piece is folded downward so as to straddle the upper end of the chest side collar of the garment and is inserted between the garment and the undergarment or the chest. A double bib at the neck that prevents the shift is known (Patent Document 1). However, on the chest side, the upper end of the upper garment and the upper end of the lower garment, or the upper end of the lower garment and the chest are usually not in close contact with each other, and the inserted folded piece is between the upper end of the upper garment and the upper end of the lower garment or the upper end of the lower garment. There is a problem that the effect of preventing the shift to the left or right is insufficient. In addition, since the main object is to prevent the clothes from being stained, a length for double the bib is required, and it is difficult to insert the folded piece between the clothes and the underwear or the chest. Furthermore, since the folding of the upper end of the front hook portion is a straight line with respect to the curvature of the chest side collar of the clothes, there is a problem that the folded portion hits the neck, causing discomfort to the wearer.

JP-A-10-298802

In view of this situation, the present inventor has eagerly studied to develop a bib without the above-mentioned problems, and as a result, the misalignment due to rotation around the neck of the bib wearer is prevented and is easy to wear. Invented a bib that does not cause discomfort. An object of the present invention is to provide a bib that is prevented from shifting due to rotation around the neck of the bib wearer, is easy to wear, and does not cause discomfort to the wearer.

The above problem is solved by the following bib.
[1] A bib comprising a front hanging portion and a neck hanging portion extending from the front hanging portion, characterized in that it has a folded piece at a position corresponding to the inner periphery of the neck hanging portion and the back of the neck of the wearer. Bib.
[2] The bib according to [1], wherein the folded piece is located across the left and right intermediate points of the neck hanging portion.
[3] The bib according to [1], wherein there are a plurality of folded pieces, and the left and right intermediate points of the neck hanging portion are separated from each other.
[4] The folded piece is formed of a flexible cloth or net and is sewn to the inner peripheral edge of the neck hanging part or extends from the inner peripheral edge of the neck hanging part. 3] Bib according to any one of the above.
[5] The bib according to any one of [1] to [4], wherein silicone rubber is adhered to the surface of the folded piece.
[6] The bib according to [5], wherein the silicone rubber is attached in the form of stripes, dots or sea islands.

The bib of claims 1 to 6 can be folded back so that the folded piece straddles the upper end of the outerwear or underwear at the back of the neck of the wearer, and the folded piece is the upper end of the outerwear and the upper end of the underwear, or Since it is firmly sandwiched between the upper end of the undergarment and the back of the neck and is in close contact with it, it is possible to prevent displacement due to rotation around the neck of the bib. Unlike the upper garment part located on the chest side, the upper garment part located on the back of the neck is pulled in the chest direction by the weight of the garment, so that the folded piece is strongly sandwiched and closely adhered. In addition, as the bib is fixed to the back side of the torso by turning the string based on the left and right lower ends of the front part of the bib, the bib is not used like the bib, so it is easy to wear and there is no discomfort when wearing . In the bib according to claims 2 and 3, the frictional force between the folded piece and the garment is generated on the left and right around the left and right middle point of the neck hanging portion. Can be effectively prevented. In the bib according to claim 4, since the folded piece is formed of a flexible cloth or net, the uncomfortable feeling when worn is reduced. In the bib of claim 5, since the silicone rubber adheres to the folded piece, the frictional force between the folded piece and the clothes is large, and the bib neck is centered as compared with a normal cloth or net. Deviation due to rotation can be effectively prevented. The bib of claim 6 has a cost merit because the amount of silicone rubber attached can be reduced. In particular, when silicone rubber is striped at a right angle to the direction along the inner periphery of the neck, the frictional force between the folded piece and the clothing is significantly increased compared to the case where it is disposed in parallel. To do.

The bib in the present invention is not only a so-called bib to prevent soiling of clothes due to drooling but also to prevent soiling of clothes due to food and drink falling from the mouth or near the mouth. It means the apron. The bib front part is made of cloth, artificial leather, or a laminate of cloth and plastic film. The fabric may be woven, knitted or non-woven, and the fibers for it are natural fibers (eg cotton, wool, silk, hemp), semi-synthetic fibers (eg rayon, staple, acetate), synthetic fibers (eg nylon, Polyester, polyacrylonitrile), or a blended yarn of these fibers.

The same applies to the bib neck. The neck hanging portion can have various widths, but is preferably 3 cm or more after the wearer's neck. This is because the upper end portion of the garment is sandwiched between the neck hanging portion and the folded piece, and the displacement due to the bibbling rotation is effectively prevented by taking a sufficient frictional force between them. The neck hanging portion (1) extends from the vicinity of the upper left end or upper right end of the front hanging portion, curves to the right or left side, then curves downward, and contacts the receiving portion near the upper right end of the front hanging portion or the upper left end. Possible thing, (2) It consists of a left neck hanging part that extends from the vicinity of the upper left end of the front hanging part and curved to the right side, and a right neck hanging part that extends from the vicinity of the upper right end of the front hanging part and curved to the left side, and is worn What can contact | abut both front-end | tips in a person's neck back or side part is illustrated. (1) has a fastener at either or both of the vicinity of the tip of the neck portion and the receiving portion, and becomes a ring shape by fastening. (2) has a fastener in the vicinity of the tip of the left neck hanging portion, the tip of the right neck hanging portion, or both, and becomes a ring shape by fastening. Examples of the fastener include a clip, a snap button, a button, a safety pin, and a hook-and-loop fastener. Snap buttons and hook-and-loop fasteners are preferred in terms of ease of detachment and the absence of a foreign object feeling in the supine state.

The folded piece is located on the inner peripheral edge of the neck hanging portion and is in a position corresponding to the neck rear portion of the wearer when the bib is worn. Here, the back of the neck means the back side of the neck from just below both ears. It is desirable that the folded pieces are evenly positioned on the left and right from the middle point on the left and right of the neck portion. When there are a plurality of folded pieces, it is exemplified that there are one or two folded pieces on the inner peripheral edge of the left neck hanging part and the inner peripheral edge of the right neck hanging part. The folded piece is made of the same or different material as the neck hanging portion, and examples thereof include those that are sewn or bonded to the inner peripheral edge of the neck hanging portion and those that extend from the inner peripheral edge of the neck hanging portion. The folded piece is preferably formed of a cloth or a net, and the cloth or the net is preferably flexible like gauze. The length of the folded piece in the direction along the inner peripheral edge of the neck hanging portion is preferably 3 cm to half of the length of the wearer's neck and more preferably 5 cm to half of the length of the wearer's neck. . When there are a plurality of folded pieces, the total length is as described above. The length in the direction perpendicular to the above direction is preferably 2 cm to the length of the neck hanging portion in the direction, and more preferably 3 cm to the neck hanging portion. However, when the folded piece is formed of a cloth or net having a large frictional force, the two lengths may be equal to or less than the lengths.

The frictional force can be improved by increasing or decreasing the diameter of the yarn constituting the cloth, or fluffing, but a slightly sticky rubber such as silicone rubber, modified silicone rubber or polyurethane rubber is attached to the cloth surface of the folded piece. This can be remarkably improved. Silicone rubber or the like may be attached to the entire cloth, but it is preferably attached in the form of stripes, sea islands, or dots in terms of economy and feel. Silicone rubber is a paste that is stored in a tube or cartridge and is cured by moisture in the air when discharged from the tube or cartridge (one-component moisture-curing type). Paste in separate containers Either a type that cures at room temperature or under heating when the main component and a curing agent are mixed (two-component curable type) or a type that is clay-like and cures when heated.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the examples and comparative examples, the front hook and the neck hook are made of cotton, and the folded piece is gauze.
